QUOTE(TheCheshireKhajiit @ Oct 21 2020, 07:01 PM) QUOTE(haute ecole rider @ Oct 20 2020, 09:43 PM) Well, as I'm sure many of you know, I'm not a big fan of zombies.
However, I started watching a new series on Netflix - La Revolution. It's a French series that is essentially an alternative history of the French Revolution - that it actually was because the French Nobles are necromancers/zombies preying on the common people.
In spite of my distaste for anything zombie-ish, I am enjoying this series.
Alternatively, on acorn.tv I've started watching a documentary called 1900 Island, a reality show about four families trying to make a living on a western Welsh island where the last fishing community died out 70 years ago. It's a striking contrast to modern life, and very interesting on a sociopsychological level . . .
Did you see the Netflix show Kingdom? It was definitely a different take on zombies. I believe I already mentioned that show April 1st over in Now Watching: QUOTE Normally I don’t watch zombie movies, buuuut . . .
I got suckered into The Kingdom by the Korean court intrigue - by the time I realized “Oh, this is a ZOMBIE series!” I was too invested and kept watching. The second season just came out and I had to watch the first one all over again to refresh my memory. Well worth watching, zombies or no.

QUOTE(Acadian @ Oct 15 2021, 01:42 PM) Haha! Thanks for reviving this thread for us this year - the task of reviving annual threads too often falls upon poor mirocu. Almost time for the Witches Festival in Tamriel! Lol, yeah I failed last year and ‘Rocu had to do it. So anybody have any fun plans this Halloween? Mostly for Khajiit, wedding preparation is taking priority this year. Future Mrs. Khajiit is getting a bridal shower that is also a costume party, but unfortunately Khajiit can’t go yo that, lol.

I have been having my annual Spooky October film festival. I started with Pitch Black, which may not be too spooky, but does have monsters. That led to Below, also by the same filmmaker who did Pitch Black.
That kicked off a slew of sea-borne horrors. Deep Star Six was the 80s personified, and a really bad movie. Who builds a nuclear weapon base on the bottom of the ocean? Then Leviathan, which was probably even worse. A few nights ago I did Ghost Ship, which was a really cool film.
In the pipeline is Deep Blue Sea, Lake Placid, and Virus.
And I took a detour from the ocean theme to watch Lost Boys today. Wow, it has been a long time since I saw that movie. It was another very 80s experience.

It’s not the ocean but does involve a “ghost ship” of sorts: Event Horizon. It’s been a while since I saw it but I remember it being very creepy and weird! You might add that to your list! And yes, I would say Lost Boys should be in any vampire or Halloween film fest lineup. It’s classic! This post has been edited by TheCheshireKhajiit: Oct 26 2021, 11:59 PM

QUOTE(SubRosa @ Oct 27 2021, 01:15 AM) I think I have seen Event Horizon relatively recently, so I am not really in the mood for it right now.
But I forgot to mention that I also watched the two new animated Addams Family movies with my neighbors. They were a lot of fun. Creepy, cooky, mysterious and spooky, altogether ooky. They really capture the essence of the old TV show. And Wednesday is great.
When is Wednesday not great? I haven’t seen those but I might check them out!
