Movies and shit for October 2019!

Two I've watched some of so far:
Anyab! From 1981 Egypt comes a very original Horror Picture Show that's totally not like anything else! (also a real chicken gets very really graphically killed on-screen during Egypt Fiction Double Feature)

Werewolves on Wheels!
Biker gang crashes the party on some Satanists, werewolves ensue. Better idea than execution, still interesting though. Onlines say they just got a biker gang to play most of the biker gang and padded the film out with them fucking around breaking things and generally being a biker gang.

How about some horror shorts? This is one of Screamfest's better films:


And Svetlonos (Torchbearer), a dialogueless stop-motion horror film which shows that you can be stop-motion and creepy without resorting to overblown, Tim Burton aesthetics:


Speaking of stop-motion, anything by the Brothers Quay is guaranteed to make you feel like you're having a nightmare when you're awake:

 
Back in July I watched a fucking GREAT horror film from 1977 called The Haunting of Julia, I liked it so much I made a thread about it, but now I have the perfect excuse to bring it up again.

It can be streamed on Amazon, do yourself a favor and watch it, when I say the ending of the movie is "chilling" I mean that quite literally, it actually gave me goosebumps, which I can't even remember the last time a horror film had that effect on me.

Seriously, the ending has to be seen to believed, but it's not just the ending, the whole movie is terrifying.

I've also since bought the original Peter Straub novel which it's based on, which I may read soon, 4 years ago I read Peter Straub's Ghost Story, which I liked a lot, so I'm definitely looking forward to reading another one of his books.
 
I watch The VVitch every October. A perfect spoopy, Autumn film with some fantastic acting and a wholesome, Christian message.

I don't really have any unknown movies to recommend aside from Grave Encounters. It's a found footage movie about a paranormal hunter group that gets locked in an old asylum. It's nothing groundbreaking but it has some great scenes and is very well paced. It's also not really that long, a little over an hour I believe so it's worth checking out.

Other than that, I recommend the classics: Alien, The Thing, and Halloween.
 
The Haunted Cop Shop II
it's like Police Academy but with vampires and stuff, part 2!
 
Hard Rock Zombies!
Only about 40 minutes into it so far. It's pretty dumb and just close to the border of "makes you want to flip off the screen" self-aware but around a half hour in there's tits and shit happens so it's picking up.
edit at 43 minutes
okay that certainly picked up

doubleposting is basically like zombies rising from the dead
Dawn Of The Dead (Extra Long Version)
still great
I know there's like thirty eight different cuts of it, no clue which are which. This is a version that happens to be on youtube.
It makes me miss the malls of my youth.

Scream Blacula Scream
Blacula's back and voodoo's in town too!
Blacula's basic thing is "hahaha blaxploit- oh wait this dude can fucking act". The guy who plays Blacula is really really great at playing a vampire. This is another movie with him being really fucking great at playing a vampire.
 
Dr Black and Mr Hyde
It's the mid70s Watts, and some doc is giving a care about the community with his clinic/research lab where he's trying to cure livers or something.

Shock Waves
People get stranded on an island, nazi zombies happen. Includes the guy who played Doctor Who.
 
I always watch The Shining every Halloween. Movie just drips with atmosphere. I usually do a run through of the Elm Street movies as well throughout the month. Old Freddy was always my favorite slasher villain. I get more of a kick out of how much those movies are a time capsule of 80s fashion and culture though.

The Entity

Oh, and Beavis and Butthead's Bungholio: Lord Of The Harvest.
 
1975's The Ghoul, starring Peter Cushing and John Hurt. A Tyburn Film Productions, helmed by veteran Hammer Studios director Freddie Francis and an all around fine ensemble of actors. Having watched it again after awhile it still holds up.

In this period horror/mystery piece during the Roaring Twenties a quartet of Bright Young Things end up in the middle of nowhere after they run out of gas and find what at first appears to be refuge at a manor. The seemingly helpful Dr. Lawrence (Cushing), turns out to be a former priest who lost his faith, and it has something to do with the cult he, his late wife and son had been caught up with back in India.

This is a good choice. If you like 1920's Hammer Horror, I'd recommend The Devil Rides Out as well:


I always thought it would make the basis for a good TV series.

And while it's not explicitly Hammer Horror, this next movie stars Hammer staples Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing:


Imagine "The Thing" if it were set on a train in Siberia in the early 1900s. Some of the science fiction gets goofy in this one, but it's nice to see Cushing and Lee having a good time teaming up against a body-jumping alien.
