Halloween Month Movie a Night
October 14:
Zombieland (2009)
Because zombies. And Jesse Eisenberg. And Woody Harrelson. And the Bill Murray scenes.
October 15:
Eyes Without A Face (Les Yeux Sans Visage) (1960)
The soundtrack by Maurice Jarre is awesome, too. This was the first time I'd seen this one surprisingly. It's beautifully unsettling.
October 16:
The Evil Dead (1981)
Sam Raimi directs, fresh out of film school. I will warn you, you'll need a strong stomach for this one, and also the remake
that came out this year which is equally as good, directed by Fede Alvarez. Me and my zombie movies, I tell ya.
October 16:
The Orphanage (El Orfanato) (2007)
Produced by Guillermo Del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth) and directed by J.A. Bayona.
So simple, so effective. If you're into gothic atmosphere and subtle scares, this one will do it for you.
October 17:
The Omen (1976)
Damien, you the devil, child.
October 18:
London After Midnight (a/k/a The Hypnotist) (1927)
This film was destroyed in an MGM vault fire. What I watched was the reconstruction that was done by Turner Classic Movies in 2002.
It used the original script and surviving film stills. You can't go wrong with Lon Chaney Sr., who was not dubbed The Man of a Thousand Faces for nothing. It's brilliant and creepy.
October 19:
The Haunting (1963)
The best haunted house movie out there. Ever. Based on Shirley Jackson's "The Haunting of Hill House".
October 20:
Rosemary's Baby (1968)
Another in the "spawn of the devil" genre. It's a favorite of mine. The second film in Roman Polanski's Apartment Trilogy, Repulsion and The Tenant rounding it out.
Brilliantly done with some legitimate creepies.
That's it for now! We're getting closer to Halloween, folks!
