John Doe’s 2010 Halloween Movie Marathon. What is on your list?
Dog Soldiers will start things right!

All hallows eve is upon us again this Sunday and John Doe is having a few friends around for his annual horror movie marathon to celebrate. Halloween has always been one of JD’s favourite traditions and he has fond memories of joining best buddies like Gingersnap and Bryn in Oz for a night of terror.
Moving to the USA however is a completely different world. The holiday is obsessively embraced and now the options for dragging others into a night of hellish nightmares is far more of an event.
Enthusiastic about this year’s program which was compiled by Johnny and his roommate JB, there is a cross section of classics, curios and modern day faves that will hopefully keep all the guests trembling with laughter and fear for the duration.
Bring it on Spoony!
"Delivering gore, giggles and characters to cheer for, Dog Soldiers is not for the squeamish. It’s all about entertainment, don’t look for a deeper meaning just enjoy the ride."
JD has screened this one pretty much every year since its 2002 release and with a few visitors admitting they haven’t seen it before it’s an ideal candidate to get everyone in the blood and guts mood.

The frustration of Halloween 3 may come off?
The first 10 minutes of Halloween III: Season of the Witch
Trick R Treat, offers both.

Beware of the Aftermath!
Trailer for Aftermath.
The face of the misunderstood.
"The film is driven along by deliberate editing, restrained cinematography and an eclectic soundtrack featuring the likes of The Breeders. Not to everyone’s taste, this under seen and largely ignored quirky future cult classic is an original and unique experience that will get under your skin and haunt you."
Very much a modern reinvention of Carrie, its not the suspense of carnage that achieves squirming goals, it’s that we truly care for the plight of the confused and disconnected central character. To read Mr Doe’s full review of May please click HERE.

Give Ash some sugar baby.
A few runners up that may get screened if we have time include: Into The Mouth of Madness, Peeping Tom, House of the Devil, Experiment in Terror and Audition.
So there you have it, possibly the first marathon JD has organized that will not include any black and white classics (eg: Cat People, Carnival of Souls).
So the only thing left to do now is ask you readers, ‘What’s films are on your own programs for this Halloween?”
