October Horror Movie Marathon

[bizarre_eye@Cult Labs]

My viewing so far:

I cheated and started my Halloween viewing around the 24th Sep - the October viewing is only from The Frighteners onwards - so feel free to disregard anything before that / spank me with a pumpkin encrusted cricket bat. It's all good to me.

Did you watch it in colour or monochrome?

It feels like a completely different film in black and white, and Frank Darabont says his preference is monochrome.

I've only ever watched it in Black and White and I think it makes the film, packs in the atmosphere! I love the bleak ending as well.

This is me so far Oct 1st-5th, trying to get some extras in because there are nights when I know I can't fit a movie in due to other commitments.



There have been some duds I won't lie

I watched the black and white version.

It would be interesting if you watch it in colour in the next few days and see what you make of it. As I said, they feel like different films according to whether it's a colour or monochrome, with the two versions from different eras.

It's almost like the two versions of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, only with exactly the same content!

I will watch it tonight while it's still fresh in my mind . Wish me luck

Only managed one film so far, the original NOTLD. Still my least favourite of Romero's original trilogy, but still a classic, ruined slightly by the sight of black bars at either side of the picture on the Blu Ray

You might prefer the colour version!

Hey, I do watch other films too but Creepshow and Halloween are the ones I usually reserve for October 31st evening. I have watched Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell, Twins of Evil, Hands of the Ripper and House by the Cemetery so far this October.
