Great starting point! 
IĀ“ve got all of them and the good thing is you probably manage to see a couple of them on one night since theyĀ“re all a little over an hour long only.
Looks like you are well prepared for the 
season!

Picked it up from a second-hand shop. Also nabbed Freddy vs Jason because it was only Ā£1.50 in a charity shop. And The Manchurian Candidate - not horror but it was BOGOF 
In the second-hand shop I also spotted a boxed Windows version of Curse of Monkey Island.

The Mummy is great. Havenāt seen the others.

Yeah, no streaming service could supply me with anything of that at the moment.
Just my opinion but that colour version of Phantom Of The Opera is not really too great. The one to go for is certainly the silent version starring Lon Chaney (and maybe one of the most significant early jump scares in movie history?).

Btw, I liked Paul Verhoevenās Hollow Man. Or in any case liked it a heck of a lot more than the Metascore of 24.
Hm, I wonder if we have any Hellraiser DVDs.
As far as I recall I didnāt really like that movie.
IĀ“m actually gonna watch Heditary tomorrow night when it becomes available for rent on amazon. I have no idea how that one tweet of mine exploded like this, I didnĀ“t even use any hashtags.

ItĀ“s also the first time I got a like and reply from the account itself. I enjoy those gifs so much, they always feels so cathartic!

I absolutely loved the film The Orphanage (2007).
Was excellent. 
Bride of Frankenstein is the best. I thought Dracula was so boring and disappointing. Iāve heard the spanish version they shot concurrently is great, but itās hard to find a good copy.

āSpanish Draculaā is filmed better (tracking instead of static shots etc.) and suffered less censorship. Bela Lugosi is better though. I find Edward Van SloaneĀ“s Van Helsing annoying. ItĀ“s definitly cheesy, I also prefer both Frankenstein films, but the same goes for the novels tbh.
A lot of people had said that to me. Iāll let you know when I finally get round to watching it!

Yeah, I think thatās why I was so disappointed, because I love what Bela Lugosi brought to the character, but the film couldnāt come close to matching that. I have yet to see a Dracula or vampire movie I love, even though I find the character extremely intriguing. My favs are probably George Romeroās Martin, and Werner Herzogās Nosferatu.

Martin is probably one of the few I havenĀ“t seen. I also havenĀ“t seen The Hunger and Near Dark though, so I guess IĀ“m missing some classics of that genre, too.
I seem to watch Horror films every October. I watch a lot of 70ās horror because theyāre often good scary stories without being gross. Films from the 60ās and earlier are often too tame to be scary, and 80ās horror is filled with slashing, so the 70ās are a nice sweet spot for horror IMO.
This year I watched:
Invasion of the body snatchers (1978) - snatched my approval (Young Jeff Goldblum and awesome ending)
Wicker Man (1973) - more of a mystery than horror, but still good
Basket Case (1982) - funny and scary B movie, cult classic, awesome
The Haunting of Hill House (Netflix series) - very well written (though a bit heavy handed at times). I like all they threads they wove together. One scene made me jump more than any other scene in any horror movie The car scene from ep. 8
Iām also a huge fan of the old Amicus horror anthology films from the 70ās, and there are many I havenāt seen yet so Iām looking forward to watching one of those this year

Agreed! I think that ending has stayed with me more than any other (in the horror genre anyway).

CarpenterĀ“s The Fog is up there with it for me.
