30 day Horror challenge
 87  6  6.1 Day 1: A memorable animal in a horror movie
 That damn monkey. Tied with the rabbit pictured below. the giraffe's rating:
 
330 6.5 6.4 Day 2: One of your earliest encounters with the horror genre
 The more I think about it, I'm now convinced this was the first horror movie I ever watched. I'd thought it was one of the Universal classics, but now I think I watched those after this one. the giraffe's rating:
 
1150 7.5 7.8 Day 3: A favorite saw or chainsaw scene
 In which Ash overcompensates for losing his hand. (The scene can be seen here.) the giraffe's rating:
168 7.3 7.1 Day 4: A great horror movie doctor - Dr. Phibes
 He ingeniously used the Ten Plagues in the Bible to take revenge for the loss of his wife. And played by the Amazing Vincent Price. the giraffe's rating:
 
547 6.6 6.6 Day 5: Favorite horror director - George A. Romero
 Between his Dead series (excluding Survival of the Dead which is crap), Creepshow, The Crazies, and Monkey Shines he's rightfully earned his spot at the top of my list. Still need to watch Martin and a few others. the giraffe's rating:
1296 7.9 8 Day 6: Your favorite movie by your favorite director
 Also unofficially my favorite horror movie ever. the giraffe's rating:
1502 7.3 7.6 Day 7: A great hero - Ash
 OK, so he may not be that great since he's more of a reluctant hero, but it's tough to argue that he's one of the best in the history of horror. the giraffe's rating:
1007 7.1 7.5 Day 8: Best comedy-horror
 This or Shaun of the Dead or Evil Dead II or Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein the giraffe's rating:
529 6.3 5.9 Day 9: A boring horror movie
Tried a few times to watch this, kept falling asleep before anything ever happened & eventually I gave up. And I'm pretty patient when it comes to movies. the giraffe's rating:
 
768 7.6 8 Day 10: Favorite classic horror movie
 Iconic. Note: This day was originally for "An instant classic" but I couldn't decide on one, plus I was disappointed looking at my list that there aren't many old horror films on here. So I changed it. the giraffe's rating:
168 7.1 6.3 Day 11: Most psychotic killer - Frank Zito
 They don't get much crazier than this. the giraffe's rating:
837 7.5 7.5 Day 12: The goriest movie you’ve seen
 Pretty sure that's the whole point. the giraffe's rating:
340 7.8 7.8 Day 13: Favorite foreign horror
 Also: Cemetery Man (Dellamorte Dellamore), Le Corbeau, and The Testament of Dr. Mabuse the giraffe's rating:
16 3.1 3.3 Day 14: The cheesiest horror you’ve ever seen
 Thank you, MST3K, without whom this wouldn't be watchable. the giraffe's rating:
 
997 6.9 7 Day 15: A great 80’s horror movie
 "The box. You opened it. We came." the giraffe's rating:
405 6.7 6.7 Day 16: Great indie horror
 A personal favorite, and not just because you get to see Anna Faris get killed. the giraffe's rating:
248 6.8 6.7 Day 17: Favorite horror franchise
 An unusual pick perhaps, but this is the only franchise where I've truly enjoyed every single film in the series. the giraffe's rating:
302 4.7 4.1 Day 18: A movie people hate that you love
 So Michael Myers isn't in this one. Get over it. I swear if this hadn't had the Halloween name on it more people would appreciate it. Halloween III is B-movie goodness. the giraffe's rating:
3153 7.4 8 Day 19: A movie that disappointed you
 Supposedly the scariest movie ever, and yet I found it laughable, ridiculous, and far too serious for its own good. Or maybe it's just that I'm not scared of "The Devil". the giraffe's rating:
 
187 6.5 5.9 Day 20: A great twist ending
 So great it's about the only thing that justifies this film's existence. the giraffe's rating:
231 7.4 7.1 Day 21: A horrible/lame twist
 Because people can totally breathe underwater for over 3 hours. Oh wait, maybe she was swimming & nobody saw her while they were dredging the lake. Yeah, that's it. *rolls eyes* I had this one figured out from the start. the giraffe's rating:
3091 8.3 8.6 Day 22: Best movie based on a book
 Based on the book of the same name by Robert Bloch. See also: Frankenstein, The Shining, and Hellraiser the giraffe's rating:
1149 6.3 6.4 Day 23: Scariest old person
 Crazy Ralph! the giraffe's rating:
840 6 6 Day 24: A movie you expected to be bad, but enjoyed
 Admittedly this wasn't at all necessary, but I thought Rob Zombie did a good job with this remake. And personally I found it interesting that he came up with reasons why Michael Myers killed people, even though not knowing is far more frightening. the giraffe's rating:
 
838 6 6.4 Day 25: A franchise you don’t like
 Actually this one's not TOO bad, but I chose it because it's the only one I've seen enough films to judge it on & come out against (I've seen the first 3 & that was enough). Otherwise I might have chosen the Leprechaun series or something. the giraffe's rating:
63 6 4.1 Day 26: Worst sequel
 The only reason I was able to sit through any of this was because my friends & I were making fun of it. Total crap. the giraffe's rating:
5053 8.2 8.5 Day 27: Favorite Stephen King movie
 There is none higher. the giraffe's rating:

Lots of great list notes, but I feel like this one deserves special recognition! LOL!
Good gosh, I really need to sit down and make one of these lists. They look like so much fun. Great job!!
I've been reading some horror comic books lately. Classical monsters though. Someday I'd like to watch Halloween and Friday the 13th, as those serial killers are just too endearing. Also, I don't mind a plot where one unstoppable force meets several annoying, obnoxious teenage objects that you couldn't sympathize with if they donated their splattered blood to sick children in Detroit. That's one of the cool things about the concept behind some of these characters - you don't have to sympathize with their prey and be worried for them, you can just enjoy the carnage while it lasts.
Oh, and that The Fat Boys music video we talked about a year or two ago with Freddy Krueger is killer.
Great one!
