2015 October Horror Movie Challenge!

The October Horror Movie Challenge is upon us again!

Every day, I'll be posting about my previous night's horror movie viewing. Last year, I watched 124 movies, missing my goal of 165 by a large margin. I attempted to post daily last year and failed, hard. I did mildly better live tweeting the movies and updating my current viewing to Facebook. All of that will be going on again this year, hopefully with better results.

The October Horror Movie Challenge is hosted over on the DVDTalk forums. They have a large checklist, daily themes and a daily movie selection (often available online) for discussion.

If you'd like to check out the official challenge yourself, check out the first discussion post. You can also see my official entry post with a running total of everything I view, or even join yourself.

Follow me for live tweets.

October Horror Movie Challenge!

I've been slowly transitioning this blog away from a focus on just books and heading towards a broad range of my interests. Now is the perfect time to take the plunge.

I love horror movies and for the past couple years I have been participating in a horror movie challenge on the DVDTalk forum.This year marks the 10th anniversary of the challenge and you will  not find a better challenge out there anywhere. They have a large checklist, daily themes and a daily movie selection (often available online) for discussion.

Last year I watched 164 movies in the month of October and I'm hoping to best that this year. I have a vague plan of what I want to watch, using my own BluRay collection, Netflix, Amazon Prime, my local library, Hulu, YouTube and various other online streaming sites.

I'll be posting daily over the month about what I watched the day before. I'll also be live tweeting my viewing and you can follow me here. If you'd like to check out the official challenge yourself, check out the first discussion post. You can also see my official entry post with a running total of everything I view, or even join yourself.

*Book reviews will resume in December.

Netflix Instant random movie is only an extension away!

I suck at making entertainment decisions. I'll stare at my Netflix Instant list and can never make up my mind.

I needed a random feature. Netflix is currently beta testing a random episode feature, but I didn't want that. Watching TV episodes out of order is just lunacy. I needed a feature that would let chose the movie or TV show for me.

And now, if you have Chrome or Opera you can have just that.

Download Netflix Enhancer (Opera / Chrome).

Then go to "My List" on Netflix. Set the list to "Netflix Suggests."

Under "My List (108) A new link pops up. Click "Play Random from List."

A random suggestion appears. Not in the mood for it, just click again.

The best part: No autoplay. You decide if you like the suggestion before the movie/show starts. I am overwhelmingly pleased.
