Today's movies have the gore, but it's so glamorized that it's not gross.

This wouldn't be nothin' if it wasn't for all the participatin'.<br /><br />@Steve– I have no idea how many people submitted, that's one thing I didn't keep track of! Next time, mayhaps!<br /><br />@Paul– that's a good question, I'm gonna figure it out and include it in the post-game show<br /><br />@goblin– holy crap yeah, the month FLEW by. I'm so bummed it's over already! I mean, we all kind of celebrate year-round basically, but still<br /><br />@PK– I didn't keep track of that number either! Boo. But i did track the number of films released since the last go-round. It's definitely a sign that horror ain't in TOO bad a place.<br /><br />@eve– thanks for clicking over to Kotaku! Kwaidan is terrific, I hope you dig it!Stacie Ponderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784074536271206501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-21136125266929334872017-10-31T22:28:39.135-04:002017-10-31T22:28:39.135-04:00This was awesome, Stacie.

And your "if you like playing this, watch that" piece got me to add Kwaidan to my to-watch list, so thanks for that as well.

I wonder if the same could be done with horror movies? What's the number of the film from this Shocktober list that is the first one you haven't seen? <br /><br />Thank you Stacie for putting this together, and thank you everyone for all the new suggestions. What a great community project!

It was really fun!<br /><br />Other high points:<br /><br />The Invitation<br />The Void<br />Don't Breathe<br />Teeth<br />It Comes At Night<br />Get Out<br />They Look Like People (but is it a horror movie?)<br />Cube<br />Under The ShadowStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10936676529571544101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-61248226172422915272017-10-31T15:41:21.799-04:002017-10-31T15:41:21.799-04:00Happy Halloween everyone!Happy Halloween everyone!J.

I was pleased to see so many *new* movies on the list, many of them so new they weren't even released until after the 2010 list (or came out that year).<br /><br />Thanks for doing this again this year!P.

Is it just me or did this SHOCKtober really just fly by?<br /><br />Not a whole lot of surprises there in the Top 10, but then again I suppose that was to be expected. All of these movies are timeless classics after all.goblinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00719240209619985298noreply@blogger.com
