31 Days of Halloween – October 10
Welcome to the super sized edition ~ As I was recording with Wes and off work for the day, I took advantage of the time and almost accidentally watched 5 films. One was a short, and believe it or not, I went grocery shopping and did some reading and housekeeping too.
Night of the Demons (1988)This is the next episode of Dead Air, so I will let the podcast tell all once it is posted next week. Suffice it to say, while the third entry to this series has it’s charms – this is really the best one.
Family First Bloodthirst (2015)
Just watch it on Youtube
As I had listened to the most recent episode of Bind Torture Kast (as noted in my Last Girl entry) just the day before, they had included a bonus review of this short film. There are scounds of short horror films on Youtube and Vimeo, and I really like when one gets a little attention so I had to check it out. The final act is well worth it, and the whole short is very well put together. Glad I took the few minutes to squeeze this one in.
Ghoul (2015)
After listening to my pal David Fairhead interview Joe Lynch for Kettle Whistle Radio, I decided to try and get my hands on Everly (finally) and rent Ghoul. Ghoul had been on my watch list as I was drawn to the idea of the spirit of Andrei Chikatilo coming back. A family favourite film in the Peever household was Citizen X (1995) for a time, and the story of the most dastardly serial killer of all time really stuck with me. Couldn’t find a way to see Everly though. If you like Joe Lynch though, we did cover Wrong Turn 2 on Dead Air.
Halloween I (1978)
I watch this every year it seems, though it also feels like I haven’t watched it enough. One half homework, and one half ‘seasons greetings’ for me, it was nice to watch this one all over again if only to set me up for my darling…
Halloween II (1981)
… Mister Sandman. Yes, this song runs though my head all of the time and I know it is thanks to this. Often pegged as my favourite horror film, it really has pretty much everything I want from the genre. Anything missing can likely be found in any one of the Halloween series, including the Rob Zombie versions. I like them all. Some more than others.
The 31 Days of Halloween ‘Challenge’ is where you take in one or more horror films per day during the month of October. Aside from networks airing more horror for the month, many forums and social networking sites do the same. See what others are watching on The Mortuary.

31 Days of Horror – October 9
Night of the Demons III (1997)I watched most of this the night before, but re-watched it in the morning before work. Stephanie Bauder (local to Ottawa, no less) is one of the best final girls and her words at the end make me wish there were more of these films.
Goodnight Mommy (2015)
The Mayfair was showing this one, which seems to be getting a limited run after being a festival darling this summer. Being considered for an Oscar, it is a film that I just had to see. Very slow to start, the end contains one vile and perfect shot that will be ‘burned’ into my head forever. And that’s not even the image that caused two walk-outs that night.

31 Days of Horror – October 8
Night of the Demons II (1994)In preparation for a new Dead Air, I watched this series. Not the remakes however, as I’ll get to them someday but they were not readily available. Of the three, this is my least favourite. Afterward, I started Demons (1985) but didn’t quite finish it so will likely start that again over the next week or two, just because.

31 Days of Horror – October 7
Let The Right One In (2008)A definite re-watch but worth it every time. Along with this, A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night and Only Lovers Left Alive, I realized that most of the vampire films I’ve watched over the last several years have been art films. Dracula Untold is still on the list, but I’d rather see Vampyre (1932) first. Unlike most action-oriented vampire flicks, this movie leaves me a little sad thinking about what this life would be really like.

31 Days of Halloween – October 6
Otto: or, Up With Dead People (2008)When Netflix was cool, this was on there. I guess someone clued in to the depravity contained in an otherwise very fun art film and it is sort of hard to find after that. It’s the only Bruce La Bruce film I’ve watched so far, and while not for everyone, an important X-rated zombie film nevertheless.

31 Days of Halloween – October 5
Death Parade (2015)Funimation or Wiki
A new horror anime is always a treat. While screening stuff for an upcoming Dead Cells episode I checked out the first two episodes of this. Certainly worth the time, and it will be on a future podcast for sure. Very Twilight Zone feeling to this dark little game.

31 Days of Halloween – October 4
The Horde (2009)This was one Chris from BTK mentioned not long ago, and the day after the Ottawa Zombie Walk seemed like the right time to hit it. I’d also said ‘horde’ about 30 times in the previous 24 hours, so it was on my mind. Very gory and violent zombie movie for those sick of the made-for-tv style stuff.
