October Horror 2013: Plans and movie list

And we're here again, and I'm listing out the movies in this horror season's marathon list.  This year we're doing another 4x7 split, leaving 3 days at the end for catchup and other entries.

Without further ado, the categories and films this year are:

Shit we missed:
At last, a chance to make up for past digressions and grab some of the movies we never quite made it to in previous years.

1. The House that Dripped Blood (1971) - Originally on 2012's Anthology week
2. The Uninvited (2009) - Originally on 2010's Ghost Stories week
3. Secret Window (2004) - Originally on 2012's Stephen King week
4. The Others (2001) - Originally on 2010's Ghost Stories week
5. The Shining (1980) - Originally on 2012's Stephen King week
6. Campfire Tales (1991) - Originally on 2012's Anthology week
7. Misery (1990) - Originally on 2012's Stephen King week

Bloody Disgusting:
This list derives from a list found here.  Apparently when I originally compiled that list into a Google doc for my own use (checking things off) I misattributed it to bloodydisgusting.com, hence the name.  In an effort to view many missed classics from this list, we've included it as a category this year and cherry-picked 7 films that either one of us hasn't watched.

1. The Mummy (1932) - #100
2. Ju-On (2000) - #15
3. Don't Look Now (1973) - #52
4. The Frighteners (1996) - #71
5. Scream (1996) - #98
6. The Legend of Hellhouse (1973) - #79
7. Serpent and the Rainbow (1988) - #37

Horror TV Shows:
Horror TV has become quite a bit more popular lately, and there are some shows we'd like to check out, so this week will involve 2-3 episodes from that night's show.

1. Harper's Island
2. Sleepy Hollow
3. Fear Itself
4. American Horror Story: Asylum
5. Hannibal
6. Hemlock Grove
7. Masters of Horror

Comedy Horror:
It's got zombies! And it's funny! How novel!

1. Toxic Avenger
2. 100 Bloody Acres
3. Idle Hands
4. Bubba Ho-Tep
5. I Sell the Dead
6. Fido
7. The Stuff

And there we are, folks.  Reviews will come in as I have the energy to write them.  Also scheduled to appear this month will be haunted attraction tours, as this has become a large part of our October traditions.
