Belated Shocktober round-up



Back in October of 2014, I ventured on my second consecutive Shocktober session. Shocktober is the basic concept of watching as many horror films in October as possible, because, y'know, Halloween.

Using Patrick Klepek's own list as inspiration, I then went on the hunt for any and all horror films that I hadn't previously seen, sounded interesting, or simply films I hadn't seen for a long time.

The following is the list of horror films I watched for Shocktober 2014:

The Town That Dreaded Sundown (original)
Bad Milo
Evil Dead 1/2
Friday The 13th 2
Nightmare on Elm Street 2
The Honeymoon
Eraserhead
Escape from Tomorrow
The Awakening
Rosemary's Baby
Entity
The Shining
Beneath
Coherence
Rawhead Rex
When A Stranger Calls (remake)
Psycho
Last House on the Left 1972
The Borderlands
The Battery
Fright Night
Wer
1408
House on the Haunted Hill (original)
Dawn of the Dead
Babadook
Ghost Ship
Antichrist
Don't Look Now
Silent Hill
Exists
Aliens
Cabin Fever
Extraterrestrial
ABCs of Death 2
The Signal
Atrocious
Chopping Mall

Best Films of 2014



I realise it's now been a fair while since my last update, and I don't really have a proper reason for that, but hey ho.

The following is a list of my top films of 2014. Not quite a Top Ten as I couldn't quite muster up the effort to actively go back through the list of films I'd seen that year to see if I'd missed any.

Fault In Our Stars
Boyhood
What If
Lets Be Cops
Babadook
Extraterrestrial
The Signal
The Guest
Two Night Stand

I'm sure there are plenty of film I've missed off this list, and I imagine a quick wikipedia search will jog my memory, but this is my 'top of my head' recollection.

Enjoy.
