How about Battlestar Galactica instead of SG:1?  While there aren't as many seasons, it should keep you busy for a while -- at a smaller cost outlay.

BSG is a lot of fun.  My wife and I have everything except 4.5 and The Plan.  We enjoyed all except the last 2 or 3 episodes of the series.  With the shows and extra content it should take you a least a month if you do not watch more than three episodes a day.

Now that it is just under a month... I decided to pull out the signature ticker from last year.

Well... with just about 17 days left before the big marathon (and I do plan on doing my reviews for each movie watched here as well)... I have been concentrating on what movies I should order next. With the help from some friend's recommendations here is what I am thinking...

- The Orphanage (Spanish horror - Recommended by a friend)
- Duel (Recommended by a friend)
- The Val Lewton Horror Collection (Recommended by a friend)
Which contains: Cat People, Curse of the Cat People, I Walked with Zombies, The Body Snatcher, Isle of the Dead, Bedlam, The Leopard Man, The Ghost Ship, The Seventh Victim & Shadows in the Dark
- Vampire Collection: Collector's Tin
Which includes: Dracula and His Vampire Bride, Dracula's Curse, Carnal & The Vampire Night Orgy
- Slaughter
- The Haunting in Connecticut
- The Substitute
- The Uninvited
- Autopsy
- Black Christmas (original)

Anyway... that is what I am considering at this time. Every one of them a blind buy. So what do you fellow horror fanatics think?

Some nice choices there Pete...

I'd say the Orphange is more of a thriller than a horror, but it is good all the same.

Duel is great fun (I'm assuming this is the Steven Spielberg 'car chase' horror?) - one of Speilberg's better films IMO.

I've also been meaning to get hold of that Val Lewton collection myself - I've seen I Walked with a Zombie and thoroughly enjoyed it.

There's a few there I haven't seen, but I would heartily recommend the original Black Christmas - probably my favourite slasher movie ever and much better than the stinker of a re-make. If you haven't seen it another great classic slasher is Mario Bava's Bay of Blood AKA Twitch of the Death Nerve. 

I think the only one I've seen from the Vampire tin is Vampire' Night Orgy - which is enjoyable.

I'm not sure which Autopsy that is (the new After Dark Horrorfest one? - If so I haven't seen that yet!), the one I've seen is the giallo by Armando Crispino - which is also very good.

Good luck with it again this year and I may join you like last year - I certainly have a lot of horror i want to watch, and I haven't been abstaining like you have!

I wouldn't call Spielberg's "Duel" a horror movie, but it's a terrific thriller. Only fulll-screen, unfortunately, as it was made as a TV movie back in 1971.

Thanks guys...

and yeah bizarre_eye... the Autopsy I mean is the new After Dark Horrorfest one. I haven't seen any of the new year's collection yet... so kinda looking forward to them. Slaughter and The Substitute is also from that collection if I remember right.

The Orphange is very good, a chilling horror-thriller.

How could I forget... The TV Series Fear Itself recently came out! I just added that to my amazon cart as well.  Getting lots and lots of new horror to watch next month! 

Though I will admit when my copy of Underworld: Rise of the Lycans arrived yesterday I almost got weak and watched it... but I stayed strong!... so far.

Very true... and I am staying strong. It is just getting harder with each day that passes now. But I will make it! I have to now!

OK... getting close now. Exactly 2 weeks from today I will be starting my horror marathon. And I tell you... it is really getting hard at this point. This is the longest I ever went without horror as it has now been 78 Days without watching any kind of horror!

To make matters worse... I just looked at my amazon cart... most the movies I had placed in the cart for my next order has gone up in price. Some almost doubling. I guess they were on sale and the sale went off... so I may have to re-thing a big portion of my order.

Pete,

I hate that too, when prices go up from one day to the other, could always punch myself then for not finalizing my order one day earlier.

cheers

Yup... real pain. Unfortunately I can't place the order till I get paid in a couple weeks. Maybe I will be lucky and by then they will go back on sale due to the holiday.
