CCF Movie Club!August's Theme: I can't drive 55
Films that feature iconic cars
A few years ago, spinning out of the popular comic reading club shaxper created an event where CCF users chronicled their movie viewing with an added twist that each month would have its own unique theme. With October just around the corner I thought it would be fun to restart that old concept with the tried an true theme of Monster Mash! For those who didn't participate during the last iteration, or members who have joined since the last iteration of the club disbanded the rules are simple: 1) Create a starting post where you'll list the films you watch each month in something approaching the below format:
October: Monster Mash
The Wolfman(1941, Universal)
The Exorcist (1973, WB)
Month:2
Total: 2
2) You don't have to stop with a list, once the entries have all began feel free to discuss the films you've watched, favorite scenes or even full fledged reviews if you'd like.
3) At the end of the month the user with the most films viewed(who didn't originate the theme) can either choose the next month's theme or choose a fellow poster to pick a theme.
4) Most importantly, have fun! Watch as many or as few movies as you'd like or even none at all; there's no wrong way to play.

I might give it a try, though I'm not sure I can keep up with a theme-oriented format - some months I only get to see one or two films of any kind, let alone a specific genre.

Watched Season 1 DVD's of American Gods. Including this just as watched within special mentions as it truly has many horror aspects to be found within the show and it keeps that dark tone throughout. Gonna go the same with the DVD's of Doom Patrol season 1 as it too has a dark and bloody attitude and treats the dysfunctional/handicapped heroes and villains as somewhat horrific examples of humanity.
The 2 weeks leading into Halloween I spent each morning having breakfast while watching an episode of Filmation's Sabrina the Teen Age Witch alternating with Groovie Ghoolies for some light cheer to begin the work days.
Halloween night besides a pair of movies, I had to watch 2 episodes of 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo. It's just NOT Halloween without the Doo!

I actually watched this one last night while waiting for the floor stripping company to finish buffing out the store...but that took till one so it totally counts.  1951, RKO I'm a huge fan of the 1982 remake by John Carpenter but it had been so long since I had seen the original(maybe middle school...so nearly 20 years ago, wow I'm getting old!)that I barely remembered it and as it's on the Archive and I had time to kill I decided to cue it up.
The film starts out well with Christian Nyby’s direction creating a mood of tingling expectancy as he shows up how a small group of US airmen and scientists stationed near the North Pole investigate a strange phenomenon but as the film progresses I found it more and more lacking. Usually I'm fully in the camp of less is more when it comes to monsters on film, believing that the suggestion of a shadowy menace is much more effective than a full frontal gore fest...but here Nyby takes it to an extreme to where it's not even hinted, it all pretty much happens off screen and we're just told about it. Maybe if we never actually did see the creature that method would work, because I think the terrible creature effects(if you can even call rubbery nailed hands and a bathing cap creature effects) coupled with stoic reactions and descriptions of his menace make you notice that the creature isn't all that scary than if you never actually saw him first hand.
Still there are a few creepy bits, the infant seedling army growing in the green house was effectively creepy and I did love the concept of a plant based alien life form. In the end, while definitely not my favorite horror movie and definitely not one I'd revisit all that often I think it was worth watching if only for the tension at the start.
Grade:C

The VVitch 2015, A24 Since first viewing this film by Robert Eggers two years back it has quickly become one of my all time favorite horror films. It's such a tense, thought provoking film that's just steeped in atmosphere and mood which is everything that draws me to the genre as a whole. From the very start when we first glimpse the deep woods after English settler William and his family are banished from the Plymouth Colony you just can't shake the sense of foreboding of that one, dead, white tree among the dark evergreens. It's wild and mysterious and the discordant notes that Mark Korven brings to the sound track when ever the characters look to the woods just adds to their unnerving nature. There are no jump scares here, or buckets of gore or even scary creatures, only a sense of dread that slowly builds in the pit of your stomach and spreads up along your spine to the nape of your neck that's created solely by play of shadows and light and the emotions of this puritanical family as they struggle against the wilds and themselves. Don't get me wrong, there are witches at the end and a demonic goat but it's everything that happens before then that leaves you feeling apprehensive.

October: Monster Mash!Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969, Hammer Films) Dracula Has Risen from the Grave (1968, Hammer Films) Them! (1954, Warners Bros) Month:3 Year Total:3 I'm a huge fan of the Hammer horror films, especially their take on the Mummy. For all the clips I've seen from it though, and my general love of giant monsters I don't think I've actually sat down and watched Them!...maybe I should rectify that this month. |

I started off with Dracula since it was showing on Svengoolie Saturday night. Sven and Universal go together like peanut butter and chocolate! It really struck me during this viewing of what an idiot Harker is portrayed as in this movie. Something I hadn't really noticed before is how much this 1931 Dracula would be right at home during the silent film era and that so much of the movies atmosphere and mood is done with lighting and "over acting" by everyone. Also it is interesting that none of the vampires are ever shown with fang like teeth and Lugosi never really does anything physically as Dracula and his menace comes from his ability to "seem" dangerous is more about his performance and those glaring mesmerizing eyes of his.
Coming up for viewing this week will be more black and white goodness in Them! and The Thing from Another World.

Added The Blob a Paramount (back in 1958) Release picture film done by three independent film companies with a budget of $110,000 and made $4,000,000 in box office starring a young Steve McQueen and Aneta Corsaut today and this is one of my favorite one during that period.

Bought Frankenstein, Mummy and Wolfman last year. Have several horror DVD's purchased after the Halloween season last year for marked down prices so I have plenty fear-fests to enjoy this season! Month: Dracula (1931, Universal) Special Mention: 2 DVD Discs of Rod Serling's Night Gallery Season 2. One Piece Anime: the storyline where Brook the Skeleton joins up with the crew and go to Zombie Island to retrieve Brook's shadow and we see zombie creations galore along with a giant spider monkey that is wild and we have crazy wild Pirates versus Zombie fights!!! Month Total: 1 I love those Universal Monster movies. I've also invested in almost all of the DVD sets (Frankenstein, Wolf Man, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Mummy), missing only Dracula and the Invisible Man. The only downside to these sets is that the monsters crossed over so much that there are a lot of duplication in the sets. For example, the Dracula set includes three movies on the Frankenstein set (House of Dracula & House of Frankenstein & Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein), leaving only three movies not duplicated elsewhere. Still, great sets and great values. I may participate in this months theme, if I can get my family to agree to watching the old movies. I may sneak some in this week since I'm off recovering from knee surgery, but I'm also trying to catch up on past seasons of the Flash TV series. |

Added The Blob a Paramount (back in 1958) Release picture film done by three independent film companies with a budget of $110,000 and made $4,000,000 in box office starring a young Steve McQueen and Aneta Corsaut today and this is one of my favorite one during that period. That's another film that I've seen clips of a million times but never actually the whole film. As a whole I think 50's cinema is a pretty large blank spot for me. |
