This weekend, TCM & a few other channels will play continuous horror films through Sunday; in fact, a few of them have already been doing so. My DVR is already at over 70% full, so, I must attend to it to make room for more! :lol:

I love halloween. I saw there's going to be a reaaaaally good zombie film on one of the discovery channels next Friday at 9 or 10pm. Reminded me of 28 days later and Resident Evil so I really wanna see it. :heart: _ :heart:

I forgot to see the new Resident Evil 3D movie, & though I low Saw, I doubt I will see that in the theaters either.

Urgh my brother saw...Saw (lol) last night. Frankly the first film grossed me out and I don't want to see the rest. I like horror with zombies and ghosts, not human torture that makes you look away in disgust. yuck o_-;;;;

Oh, and I'll be seeing Resident Ecil 3D finally this week *_*

Watch the film "Event Horizon"...if you dare! Its about people torturing themselves and gouging their eyes out, leaving blood on the face. Its DISGUSTING!

I watched it in the theater, but do not recall any of that. :D Of course, that was when it was in the theaters, years ago, so I may have forgotten such details.

AMC is well-known for heavily editing content; while I will record this series, I am not hopeful of anything worthy of this name.

BTW, Karloff was the real walking dead, a man fried in the chair, but revived. :p
