Horror Lovers Challenge: Horror Musical

August 4, 2013 by robertforto Leave a Comment

I am participating in a 30 day challenge. This time it is all about horror! If you know anything about us here at the Fort you would know that we are hard core horror fans. Each October we watch a movie each night in what we dub as “The 31 Nights of Horror.”

Day 4: Horror Musical

This is a movie I have to check out durning this year’s 31 Days. Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead has got to be one of the craziest independent horror musical films of all time. Has anyone seen it?

Day 3: Creepiest dead body

The exploding dead scene in Scanners (1981) scared me to death when I was a kid. I saw this movie with my dad when it came out in the theater. I was 9 years old. This scene set the bar high for my thirst for the horror genre for years to come.

31 Nights of Horror. Night 2: Carnival of Souls

October 3, 2012 by robertforto Leave a Comment

Tonight’s film is one that I have nevere seen before. It was part of a box set that I picked up a Best Buy for about 10 bucks. 10 bucks for 10 movies isn’t bad. Is it?

It is Carnival of Souls (1962). It is a cheesy take on the zombie genre about a woman becomes drawn to a mysterious abandoned carnival after a traumatic car accident.

It is full of cliches, bad dialogue, terrible zombie make-up and even awkward hand holding.

Thought it was pretty bad, Michele and I enjoyed it and even laughed a time or two.

What is your favorite scary movie?
