[Ed, Ego and Superego]

As is "traditional" I wanted to point out whats on AMC Fearfest 2011 (for those of you who watch movies on TV the old fashioned way)

The full list is here:

But I only picked the ones I wanted to see (high cheese factor), or were classics… lots of Zombies and slasher remakes which don’t hold my interest.
Bride of Frankenstein
Corridors of Blood
Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster
How to Make a Monster
Poltergeist
The Omen
Village of the Damned
War of the Colossal Beast

Burnt Offerings

In the great tradition of haunted house chillers comes this frightening tale of the supernatural set in a sprawling old country mansion. Stars Oliver Reed, Karen Black and Bette Davis.
Lady in White
Original Release Date: Jan 1, 1988
This terrifying horror film that's "one of the most intelligent and riveting ghost stories since Poltergeist" (LA Weekly) Starring Lukas Haas, Len Cariou, Alex Rocco and Katherine Helmond, and presented here in a full-length director's cut, Lady in White delivers nonstop thrills and "will keep you in mounting suspense right through the chilling climax" (Entertainment Report)! Frankie Scarlatti (Haas) lives in a small town with a deadly secret. For a decade, a serial child killer has eluded police, and the death toll continues to rise. Then one night Frankie gets locked in his school and witnesses the ghost of the first victim being murdered. Now, aided by the girl's restless spirit, Frankie takes it upon himself to bring her assailant to justice. But in a town with no strangers, the killer may be close than he knows.

THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA ('43)
Oct 31st
Dementia 13
Original Release Date: Aug 25, 1963
A horror classic from director Francis Ford Coppola. A woman devises a bizarre scheme to gain control of her late husband's family's money. Shocking gory ax murders, inventive photography and a great trick ending!
ISLAND OF THE LOST SOULS- I think this is a 1933 Dr. Moreau interpretation

SON OF DRACULA
SON OF FRANKENSTEIN

I've got Invasion of the Star Creatures on DVD.  Love their hotpants.  Er...space...um...uniform.  Thingies.

I've been enjoying the October AMC viewing thus far and look forward to the rest of the month. I'm also enjoying the offerings on SyFy. Good stuff. I'm disappointed they're showing not showing the 1960 Village of the Damned, however, but you can't have it all I guess.

There is more stuff I like this year than in recent years.  Lots of slashers, not enough monsters.
