Goretacular 2019

One of my husbands favorite things to do this time of the year is to host the annual Goretacular horror movie marathon.  While I am not a huge fan on horror movies, it is always a fun time to have people over. The list of movies changes from year to year and as an added bonus there was a theme. There  theme was Double Feature!

Pairing movies together is a subtle art form. You have to figure out what would work well together and playoff of each other.  Below is the double line up.

Double Feature-Athon

• The Stuff   -   The Blob  (Remake)
• Motel Hell  -  Tourist Trap
• Dead Heat   -   Maniac Cop 2
• FinalGirls   -   Tucker and Dale vs. Evil
• Deep Red   -   The Editor
• Rocktober Blood  -  Black Roses
• Return of the Living Dead  -  Night of the Comet
• Night of the Demons    -   Demons

If you were to create a double feature marathon, what would you pick?

Goretacular 2018

October is a busy month for me.  One annual October event  is Goretacular.  Now most humans have no idea what Goretacular is, and sometimes I wish I didn't know what it was. Goretacular is the annual Horror Movie Marathon that my husband hosts.  If I were to gravitate towards movies selections, it would most likely not be anything in the Horror genre. My husband on the other hand, loves horror movies and especially adores B rated movies and if the two could be combined then there is a good chance it will end up in Goretacular.

Here is the 2018 Goretacular line up

1. The Curse of Frankenstein (1957)
2. Creepshow 2 (1987)
3. The Boxers Omen (1983)
4. Halloween III Season of the Witch (1982)
5. Abominable (2006)
6. In The Mouth of Madness (1994) (This is one of my favorites!)
7. Night of The Creeps (1986)
8. The Satanic Rites of Dracula (1973)

As if 8 movies wasn't enough, Goretacular spilled over into the next day with the following movies:

1. Black Magic (1975)
2. Black Magic 2 (1976)
3. RawheadRex (1986)
4. The Redeemer Son of Satan (1978)
5. The Devil Rides Out (1968)

Needless to say, even if horror movies is not your thing, there was a wide variety that could peak almost anyones interest.  It is sometimes hard to take older movies as horror movies, because they do not age well in what would offend the sensibilities, but they are classics that helped define a genre and lead the way for pushing the envelope.

The list of movies for Goretacular is often expansive and it gets culled based off of who shows up.  If you don't believe me, take a look at what was on the original possibilities list!

If you were to hold any type of  movie marathon, what sort of movies would be on your list?
