oktober film fest

during the best month ever, (well, my personal favorite at least and i am sure many, many others),the Ringler household enjoys a halloween film-fest all through October.

since we netflix our viewing pleasure, we set up the queue to send us a nice combination of classic horror, comedy, and thrasher movies. last year was the first annual oktober film-fest and proved to be an amazing idea. this year we are challenged by keeping things as exciting as last year. we have had some ups and downs, but overall it is still super fun!

here are some of our favorites:

• anything Boris Karloff, but especially Frankenstein, 1931 and
• Bride of Frankenstein, 1935
• Black Sunday, 1960

• House on Haunted Hill, 1958 original with Vincent Price
• Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens, 1922
• Nightmare on Elm Street, 1983 and NES Part 3, 1987

• Children of the Corn, 1984
• Pet Semetary, 1989
• Sleepaway Camp III, Teenage Wasteland, 1989

• Anything by Dario Argento (Phil's personal favorite)
• House of Wax, 2005 remake

cartoons

• Scooby Doo on Zombie Island, 1998
• The Simpson's Tree House of Horror (I-XX)
• Billy an Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure, 2006

comedy

• The Fearless Vampire Killer's, 1967 (Roman Polanski-Spoof)
• The Worst Witch, 1986
• Zombie Land, 2009
• Zombie Strippers, 2008
• Shaun of the Dead, 2004
• Fido, 2006
• Evil Dead II, 1987

Apparently we find Zombie movies to be funnier than most. I swear Zombie Strippers was one of the funniest things we've ever seen.

Isn't Autumn the best?

Happy October!
