October Halloween Horrorfest 2015
I'll be watching 30 horror movies and then JC's Halloween.
I make these lists to keep track of all the dreck I watch for October. This year I did my watching in September due to vacation in Oct, but I might add a few more I watch before Halloween. I like all horror genres but typically like tons of gore and blood. I'll be trying to watch movies from 2015 or 2014 that have just made it to Netflix, Amazon or Hulu. Hopefully there will be a few good ones with boobies and gore this year. Maybe you'll enjoy them or think I'm an idiot.
Happy Halloween!

- DirectorZach LipovskyStarsDylan PostlStephanie BennettAndrew DunbarNot related to the previous Leprechaun films. Two young couples backpacking through Ireland discover that one of Ireland's most famous legends is a terrifying reality.Not very Leprechauny. No real need for Hornswoggle either as you can never tell the size of the monster. Already time to reboot the reboot.
- DirectorRichard Bates Jr.StarsMatthew Gray GublerKat DenningsRay WiseCity-boy Raymond returns to his hometown and finds a vengeful ghost is terrorizing his house. Therefore, this man-child recruits Becca, a badass local bartender, to solve the mystery of the spirit threatening people's lives.Something is holding this one back. It's pretty good, has cool horror effects and even has John Waters. It definitely made me laugh. It has Kat Dennings. It's just missing that final oomph. Maybe it's the main character. Making movies is hard, making comedies is HARD. Still I recommend it for nice light horror and laughs. Ray Wise is a national treasure.
- DirectorAbe RosenbergStarsMichel ChauvetAnna CettiMario EscalanteA group of amateur paranormal investigators enter an abandoned insane asylum to discover if the stories they have heard are actually true.Yet another found footage insane asylum movie. This one is from Mexico. Doesn't help.
No gore, horror, scares or anything other than a film crew wandering then running around inside a crappy building. Dark, shaky, incomprehensible. - DirectorStewart HendlerStarsBriana EviganRumer WillisCarrie FisherA group of sorority sisters try to cover up the death of their house-sister after a prank gone wrong, only to be stalked by a serial killer.Average slick Hollywood slasher movie. Not much in the way of boobs or gore. This would be better on TV with commercial breaks. This movie needed more Rumer Willis and less Brianna Evigan. Topless, of course.
- DirectorAlfonso Gomez-RejonStarsAddison TimlinVeronica CartwrightAnthony Anderson65 years after a masked serial killer terrorized the small town of Texarkana, the so-called "moonlight murders" begin again. Is it a copycat or something even more sinister? A lonely high-school girl may be the key to catching him.Lame. This movie takes itself WAY too seriously. Blah blah blah Bob Loblaw.
- DirectorDavid Robert MitchellStarsMaika MonroeKeir GilchristOlivia LuccardiA young woman is followed by an unknown supernatural force after a sexual encounter.Paul Scheer recommended this on the How Did This Get Made? podcast.
It's a solid, competent, sort of creepy, mood movie. No gore or anything like that. It never gets bigger than itself. Definitely good for an October Halloween viewing. - DirectorCarlos Alonso OjeaDídac CerveraMarta Díaz de Lope DíazStarsJoan AmargósEnric AuquerÀlex BatlloriNine young friends get lost on their way to spending April Fools Day together. Instead of letting the entire trip go to waste, they decide to go party at an old abandoned inn called 12 Hills. Rumor has it that the place has curse that comes to life every April 1st. Despite the warnings from the locals, the friends decide to go ahead with their April Fools Day plan. It's all partying, sex and alcohol until victims of sick, deadly jokes start to appear.Spanish horror...comedy? Standard slasher/horror. 10 deaths in an hour and many are quite creative. Some are hilarious. FULL of cliches but that seems to be the point. One head-wounded girl victim brings herself to climax by sticking her fingers in her brain. That is some weird, wild stuff.
Recommended for Halloween horror. - DirectorDouglas AarniokoskiStarsPaz de la HuertaKatrina BowdenJudd NelsonBy day, Abby Russell is a dedicated nurse, but by night, she lures cheating men to their brutal deaths and exposes them for who they really are.Not so good. Looks cool, tries too hard to be campy. Paz de La Huerta is suing the filmmakers for $55 million for tanking her career with this movie. Hopefully she wins. She did get hit by an ambulance on set. And the unnecessary voiceover is clearly done by an entirely different actress to spite Paz. Not a good Halloween horror movie.
- DirectorBrett SimmonsStarsJoey Lauren AdamsElizabeth GilliesPaul IaconoWhen plans for a weekend vacation hit a dead end, a group of close-knit friends find themselves stranded in unfamiliar territory, pursued by a menacing, blood thirsty predator.This is a bad, boring monster movie. A bunch of idiots hide in a house from a hungry creature. There is over an hour of bad dialogue, contrived drama and anything other than a hungry creature eating people. Finally in the last 10 minutes, the monster gets to kill nearly everyone...off screen, of course...usually accompanied by a PA throwing a bucketful of fake blood onto the ground. The fact that this was made for the Chiller channel explains the lack of gore and boobs.
- DirectorBobby RoeStarsBrandy SchaeferZack AndrewsBobby RoeFive friends are stalked by a group of mysterious and disturbed individuals while on a road trip looking for the ultimate haunted house attraction.This quote flashes onscreen at the beginning:
I'm not afraid of Werewolves or Vampires or Haunted Houses.
I'm afraid of what real human beings do to other real human beings.(Walter Jon Williams).
Walter Jon Williams should be afraid of people making a movie this bad and forcing him to watch it. That is terrifying. This movie is not. It is terrible. And to add insult to injury, it's a "found footage" movie. So it's basically a home movie of these idiots visiting haunted houses. Avoid at all costs. - DirectorPaul SoletStarsKeir GilchristStella MaeveMaestro HarrellA 17-year-old is on house arrest for the summer while his mother is away on business. A horrifying incident occurs leaving an ominous presence in the house.Pretentious, baffling and dull.Barely anything happens, horrorwise. No gore, 1 murder. NOT scary at all. If you like slow tracking shots of furniture or slow pans of power cords, you've found your movie. If you want to watch a Halloween horror movie, look elsewhere.
- DirectorTommy WirkolaStarsGeir Vegar HoelØrjan GamstMartin StarrStill on the run from a group of Nazi zombies, a man seeks the aid of a group of American zombie enthusiasts, and discovers new techniques for fighting the zombies.A ton of gore, a bunch of comedy. Martin has a buzzcut and looks like Tom Sizemore. Even though it is sequel that starts right after the first one, this is a very different movie from the first one. I prefer the first one, I'm sure others prefer this one. Perfectly acceptable gory Halloween fun,
not very scary. - DirectorRob SperaStarsWarwick DavisIce-TAnthony MontgomeryWhen three rappers want to get even with a pimp, they accidentally unleash a leprechaun who goes on a killing rampage in tha 'hood.I'm sure you've seen or heard all about this one. I watched it again so I could listen to the How Did This Get Made? podcast epsiode where they discuss it. Pretty funny.
Be warned, this version on Netflix seems to be a TV version, with commercial fadeouts, bleeped out cusswords and little gore. Maybe there wasn't any to begin with and in 2000, smoking weed was probably enough for an r rating - DirectorZach LipovskyStarsJesse MetcalfeMeghan OryVirginia MadsenAn ineffective vaccine fails to stop an epidemic which is turning people into zombies. The survivors organize themselves to escape from the living dead.I REALLY like the Dead Rising videogames. I liked this movie. Pretty good zombie movie. Gets a little long and slow in the middle. You don't have to have played the games to enjoy it. If you have played the games, you'll be happy with the little nods to the games throughout. Nice Halloween horror choice.
- DirectorAdam RobitelStarsJill LarsonAnne RamsayMichelle AngAn elderly woman battling Alzheimer's disease agrees to let a film crew document her condition, but what they discover is something far more sinister going on.Blah blah blah. It could've been about Satan but noooooo. Devolves into a bad shaky cam footage movie, immediately nullifying any creepy scare factor it might have mustered up from the beginning. Also, everyone mispronounces the name Desjardins as "Day-Har-Deen". WTF. Skip it.
- DirectorMarcus NispelStarsStephen LangKevin ChapmanKelly BlatzA group of teenagers accidentally release an evil spirit that starts to possess them one by one.Looks good, has sex drugs and rock n roll, a psycho Catholic priest, excorcism, ouija board fun, demons, face ripping, nice gore and is fast paced. In other words, perfect Halloween viewing.
- DirectorIvan KavanaghStarsRupert EvansAntonia Campbell-HughesHannah HoekstraA film archivist finds his sanity crumbling after he is given an old 16mm film reel with footage from a horrific murder that occurred in the early 1900's.Grim ghost story. Pretty depressing. Looks gorgeous and has some creepy/scary horror/demons satanic themes. A bit of a police murder mystery going on as the main character is suspected of murdering his wife and dumping her in the canal. Good horror for October.
- DirectorJaume BalagueróStarsManuela VelascoPaco ManzanedoHéctor ColoméAn ill-fated television reporter is rescued and sent on a voyage across the ocean, but she is followed by the deadly virus that has plagued her and numerous others.Not much to say about this film other than "Hell YEAH!".
- DirectorAdam WingardStarsDan StevensSheila KelleyMaika MonroeA soldier introduces himself to the Peterson family, claiming to be a friend of their son who died in action. After the young man is welcomed into their home, a series of accidental deaths seem to be connected to his presence.Escaped Army experiment arrives in a small town and goes on a psychotic killing spree. More of an action flick but the climax takes place in a cool Halloween Maze/Haunted House at the local high school. Tons of violence and gore. Good October movie.
- DirectorPatrick BriceStarsKatie AseltonPatrick BriceMark DuplassA young videographer answers an online ad for a one-day job in a remote town to record the last messages of a dying man. When he notices the man's odd behavior, he starts to question his intentions.Pete has now murdered everyone in The League and has been going slowly crazy from a life with no friends and no League. He also is becoming very Andre-like with an undercurrent of Rafi. He hires a videographer from Craigslist to mess with his mind, since he killed everyone in The League and doesn't have anyone left to mess with. He puts on his best Andre when he meets him but unfortunately for our hapless videographer, Rafi is on the hunt for the thrilling murder-boner. This movie is a great ending to The League and a cautionary tale on the horrors of the cult of fantasy football.
- DirectorUli EdelStarsNicolas CageSarah Wayne CalliesVeronica FerresA professor frantically searches for his son who was abducted during a Halloween carnival.Centers around Halloween so I thought I should check it out. Pretty good, standard ghost story with some nice cinematography. Then it tries to be much more than that. There is a portal to a nether world under the city that opens up on Halloween and nobody has noticed it before. If you just HAVE to see a Halloween movie with Nicolas Cage(like me), then see it. it's not a piece of crap, it's just confused. Otherwise, steer clear.
- DirectorLowell DeanStarsLeo FafardAmy MatysioSarah LindAs a series of strange and violent events begin to occur, an alcoholic policeman realizes that he has been turned into a werewolf as part of a larger plan.Sex, reptilians, satanists, meth dealers, rampant crime, gore, violence and boobies. A lot is packed into an hour and 10 minutes, most of it good. Enjoyable Halloween trash that's over before you know it.
- DirectorKiah Roache-TurnerStarsJay GallagherBianca BradeyLeon BurchillA talented mechanic prepares to battle his way through hordes of flesh-eating monsters after his sister is kidnapped on the eve of a zombie apocalypse.Gore galore, although CGI headshots abound. Zombies, evil military goons, gore, telekenesis and action. There is a LOT going on in this movie and none of it bad. Definitely recommended horror viewing.
- DirectorTerron R. ParsonsStarsSherri EakinJeremy SandeJeremy IvyThe end of one journey only marks the beginning of another as Detective Loomis returns to uncover the truth behind the Legend of Pitchfork.This movie sucks. Oddly enough, it ticks all the boxes for a good horror flick. Invincible killer, basement dungeons, gore, high body count. Unfortunately, it seems like it came from Making Horror Movies for Dummies. Also, it's boring as hell with terrible, overly long dramatic scenes and an interminable, depressing piano score. At any rate, do NOT watch this movie for Halloween fun. You have been warned.
- DirectorPhilip GrangerStarsJimmy BreauEdna RojasTaylor HastingsThe Desmond has stood empty for years. With a history of fires, murders and madness not even squatters will go there. But now Johnny Craig, host of 'America's Most Haunted', is going to host a prime-time special there.Bad Building? More like bad MOVIE!
