Andres Salazar's Nappy Headed Podcast: October 2013

Thursday, October 31, 2013

Happy Halloween. Each year I watch 1 movie for each day of October. To make this happen I watched a couple of films in one day and even went to a movie marathon in Santa Monica for the experience of seeing it with a crowd. Most of these are on Hulu or Netflix. I must say that this is getting harder and harder each year, and it might come to a point where I can't do it, finding good stories. Here is the list, not ranked:

1. The Tenant

2. Medium Raw: Night of the Wolf

3. Salvage

4. Evil Dead

5. Evil Dead 2

6. Aliens 3

7. Aliens 4

8. Horror Express

9. Children of the Corn

10. Pieces

11. Naked Fear

12. Atrocious

13. Amityville Haunting

14. Amityville II

15. Night of the Living Dead

16. Wrestlemaniac

17. The Fly

18. Kingdom of the Spiders

19. Rites of Spring

20. Cabin in the Woods

21. I Spit on Your Grave (1978)

22. I spit on Your Grave (2011)

23. Human Centipede

24. Exit Humanity

25. The Afterlife Investigations

26. The Haunting of Whaley House

27. InnKeepers

28. The Sentinel

29. The Bay

30. The Conjuring

31. The Devil Inside

To be fair, a few of these I did not finish the film, it was either too bad, or I'd seen it many times previously.

Not that impressive of a list, but if I were to recommend any of these here's what I would say you should see:

The Fly (1986)

This is possibly the best on the list, VERY good. Creepy, great effects, and wonderful acting.

I will consider this a modern classic in the genre

Night of the Living Dead.

Don't you dare watch The Walking Dead or any other zombie movie without first watching this one. Still holds up, great social commentary. It was shot on black and white on purpose for goodness sakes!

Kingdom of Spiders

It's old-school, it's Shatner. It's fun. A whole lot of real spiders were used. I saw this with a crowd so maybe that's why I had so much fun, but I say go see it.
