For those of you looking for free, streaming movies I just discovered Shout Factory has their own streaming site. And good news for you hosers out there, this one actually works in Canada, eh!
The horror section is pretty small considering their catalog, but there's a few standouts, including Body Bags, Day of the Dead, Night of the Demons, Nosferatu The Vampyre, Witchboard and our very own 31 Days of Horror favourite, Sleepaway Camp.
It's also available on Roku and works full screen in the PS4 web browser if you don't want to watch movies movies hunched over a computer.

Here's my provisional list for the month. Best of British, plus the mandatory movies and a few Wes Craven Saturdays. And by 'Best of British' I mean 'has a vague, possibly quite tenuous connection to the UK in some form or other'.
1 - The Cabinet of Dr Caligari
2 - Dog Soldiers
3 - The Last House on the Left (1972)
4 - Hellraiser
5 - The Devil Rides Out
6 - The Children
7 - City of the Living Dead
8 - The Beyond
9 - The House by the Cemetery
10 - The Serpent and the Rainbow
11 - The Descent
12 - Blood on Satan's Claw
13 - Alien
14 - Stitches
15 - Creep (2004)
16 - Creep (2014)
17 - The People Under The Stairs
18 - Kill List
19 - Horns
20 - Wilderness
21 - Vampire Circus
22 - Little Deaths
23 - Wake Wood
24 - Crimson Peak
25 - Witchfinder General
26 - The Falling
27 - The Cottage
28 - In Fear
29 - 28 Weeks Later
30 - Night of the Demon
31 - Wes Craven's New Nightmare
One question: as a Fulci virgin, is it a good idea to watch the Gates of Hell movies on consecutive nights, or should I spread them out more? Everything I've seen or heard about the films suggests I will like them...

It doesn't really matter. They aren't really related to eachother. The only thing they share are thematic similarities. Don't forget Don't Torture A Duckling, personally I think that is his best movie.
Violence Jack
Member
This, but I couldn't watch them consecutively anyway. While I love Fulci's movies, some of them can get mind-numbingly boring.
I also agree that Don't Torture a Duckling is his best, plus I've found a new appreciation for how gloriously trashy New York Ripper is. I'd rank it 3rd on my Fulci list.
ThirstyFly
Member
I'd personally spread them out a bit simply because they don't have a lot of structure and tend to blur in the memory because of it.
I got City and House together in the same set ages ago and probably watched them back to back. For the life of me I can't remember which is which, aside from remembering City having the crazier gore effects.
One of these days I'm going to rewatch all 3, and when I do I'll probably spread them out by a week each.
pitcairn55
Member
Thanks for the info. So the whole trilogy thing is just marketing then? Or is it something that Fulci intended?
EDIT: Thanks guys. Perhaps I will spread then out a bit over the month!
Lord_Balkan
Member
I think his best trashy movie is The New Gladiators. Its like hints of Idiocracy way before Idiocracy. Its not really horror, though it is filmed like a horror / thriller.
I think it was marketing and the fact that all three movies were very thematically similar.
ThirstyFly
Member
No love for Fulci's Murder-Rock: Dancing Death? I dare you to find a better Flashdance inspired giallo.
I think the whole Gates of Hell trilogy thing is one of those fan coined names just to group the movies together. As far as I know it was never an official thing.

I can't wait for that review~
Where's that weirdo who was watching the Vomit Gore Trilogy last year.
This was fun last year, but there's no way I can do 31 movies with my current schedule. I miss working the night shift. My only goal is to watch The Green Inferno before the month ends, because I'm ecstatic that it finally got released.

What about A Cat In The Brain? One of the first meta-horror movies (that I can think of) out there
ThirstyFly
Member
I haven't seen that one yet. If it's a meta-horror I think I'll have to give it a look though.

Lucio Fulci plays a director named Dr. Lucio Fulci that makes a lot of gory horror movies. His gory violent movies soon start to haunt him and make him feel guilty all while real murders begin to take place that are based on the kills in the movies he's been making.

Sounds fun, I'll add it to the list.

Hell yes. Best time of the year is here again. I've already made my list but I'm probably going to redo it and add a lot more films that I haven't seen before.

Holy fuck... a ton of the stuff I put on my list is expiring on Netflix October 1st... every fucking year Netflix does this shit. Gotta watch a ton of stuff before the 1st then...
Shit, is there a list? They used to at least put "expiring in 7 days" warnings on pages, now they don't even do that.

Where does it even say? The smart TV app I use doesn't show jack. Is Creep safe for the month?
Dead Snow 2 is great. It's even sillier.

Netflix on my computer. Creep is fine, it seems.
Thanx! I will continue watching then. How about Outpost 2 is that any good?

Good, thanks for checking. I've never actually logged in on a computer. I'm a Netflix noob.
I haven't seen any of the Outpost movies, sorry.

How did I let this get to five pages before finding this thread and commenting?! Must be slipping in my old age. This is by far my favorite thing about GAF, and I'm in for as much as I can. Became a dad this year, so 31 might be tough, but I'll do my best. Might have to double or triple up on the weekends.
Question: I watched Suspiria two years ago for the first time at a friend's request, and it quickly became one of my favorite horror movies. I even got to see it in a movie theater here in Japan earlier this year. However, it's the only Argento movie I've seen, and I'm super interested to check out more. What should I watch?

Congrats on the parenthood!
As for Argento, there's a few I haven't seen yet but the quality of his work is allllll over the place. You definitely want to stick with his 70s and 80s films.
Also, are you looking for more supernatural/fantasy kind of stuff like Suspiria or more grounded?
For supernatural, Suspiria is actually the first part of his 'The Three Mothers' trilogy, followed by Inferno and The Mother of Tears. I haven't seen either of those because I've heard mixed things about Inferno and Mother of Tears is pretty universally disliked. I can't comment if you should seek them out or not. Phenomena's pretty good, but also pretty crazy.
For grounded stuff, I'm a big fan of his gialli. They're almost all excellent. Tenebre and Deep Red being my favourites. The rest of his gialli never hit the same heights as those two, but I think they're all worth checking out, even the lesser ones like The Card Player and Do You Like Hitchcock? Just be aware some are more straight up thrillers and shouldn't be considered horror.
If you dig Argento's style, you should look into Michele Soavi's films as well if you haven't already seen them. He worked under Argento for many years and shares a similar sense of style. I highly recommend Cemetery Man (aka Dellamorte Dellamore) and StageFright: Aquarius.
Infernostew
Member
Hmm.. a good story... Let's see...
The Thing
Rosemary's Baby
The Descent
28 Days Later
Ginger Snaps
Possession
Deep Red and Tenebrae are must watches. Deep Red being my favorite Argento film. Phenomena is a great watch too. I watched Inferno last year for the 31 Days and it's ok but I'd recommend the others first. Bird With The Crystal Plumage and Cat o' Nine Tails are more mystery thrillers and while they're pretty cool, I'd avoid those for this.
matt360
Member
Thank you both for the replies! Wow, that's a lot of stuff. I probably prefer the more fantasy style stuff, but I'll definitely check out Deep Red and Tenebrae. I'll look into Soavi's stuff too!
With Suspiria, I like it more and more with each viewing. It gets progressively more haunting each time I watch it. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it!
Rosemary's Baby?
ThirstyFly
Member
Have I mentioned Tenebre or Deep Red yet?
More of my usual go-to recommendations:
Dead and Buried
Blood and Black Lace
The Thing ('82)
The Fly ('86)
In the Mouth of Madness
Who Can Kill a Child?
It Follows
Sinister
The Pact
The Descent
I Saw the Devil (Korean)
[REC]
You're Next
Obviously some are more complex than others, but some I feel have quality twists/characters (mainly REC and You're Next) that make up for the simpler plots.
Edit: Looking over my DVDs and saw a few more:
Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon
The Devil's Backbone
Inside

Well that's not as bad as I thought it would be. The only thing on my list is Pet Semetary, and I can live without that.
