The Horror Board Film Companion 2016


This the 10th consecutive year for the Horror Board Film Companion.


A dedicated few participate in this each year as we all come together to track viewing habits. This is an open invitation to anyone who would like to participate.

Below are some suggestions of what/how to track your viewing habits. Simply show/talk/tell about what you are watching this year and remember that while this is the horror board, this is not limited to only horror movies.

Discussion is encouraged, but not required. A simple list is as welcome as the most elaborate one.


Suggestions for notation:
Number of films seen this year
Number of horror films
Number of first time viewings
Number of films seen in a theater or other public venue
Favorite discoveries (director, performer, genre, etc.)
Top views, first-time or rewatch
Directors you've watched the most
Films numbered by decade, or year most represented
...or anything else that strikes your fancy, like how many consecutive days you did or didn't watch movies, whether you saw them alone, etc.

Happy viewing, and I wish you all a rewarding 2016! 

It makes me very happy to see The Witch Who Came from the Sea make your Top Ten FTVs, peeps. A very under-rated film by most. Glad you liked it!

I've been eyeing Embrace of the Serpent in our public library collection. You just convinced me to watch it.

I hope you like it, 'beatnik. It was filmed using (mostly) non-actors and I found it realistic and powerful. It also had a bit of a psychedelic edge to it that I appreciated. 

Witch from the Sea was great. I had it in mind to watch for awhile now since I've seen a number of positive comments from people who have similar taste in horror that I do. I also got it as a blind buy on a blu ray box set that came out awhile back (bought it for Malatesta's Carnival of Blood and also got this great gem as well).

reply

I've been looking for Malatesta ever since I saw you rank it so highly. I am salivating over that BLU set (I would love to upgrade my Witch who Came From the Sea) but unfortunately can't afford it right now. Stupidly, I didn't have it on my wish list for Christmas but I did end up getting a great Buster Keaton BLU set from my sister. Maybe she'll get me this for my birthday.

How is The Premonition, by the way? I've never seen it.

reply

I thought Premonition was good. It was my least favorite of the 3 on that set, but I still rated it significantly higher than its IMDB average.
Matheny thought she heard they would be releasing more of those sets in the future since this one went off well apparently. Here's hoping!

reply

It does say Volume One. The price is a bit high for a three movie set - currently around $57 on Amazon and that may limit the number of copies they sell. Anyway, if future films are as interesting as these three I hope they keep releasing them too.

That's good to hear that Premonition was decent too. My birthdays not too far away so keep your fingers crossed for me!
