Small Edit: The Dog flew out, as I don't know where to get that from and added Bedevilled, because a Korean Horror-Flick is a must! And added Possession for my third watch this year. Can not be possessed enough :-)
Edit II: I've searched everywhere for a decent version for Martin, but couldn't find one. The first Blu-ray release for it is in December in Japan and not one streaming service has it in its portfolio... (Why is this movie so rare? Normally after a Director dies, everybody is eager to grave rob him blind, yet here is no interest?)
Martin out!
Nachmahr in!
Edit III:
The Mangler out, because I couldn't find a decent and affordable option. (And I don't need another dud...)
Halloween in, as the 4K is just too good to pass.
Edit IV:
All the colors of the dark out, because I cannot do another samey giallo and I watched more than enough of all of the mentioned directors from the criteria.
Texas Chain Saw Massacre in, as I needed another really good one :-)
Edit V:
So, High Lane isn't on Netflix anymore. Out!
Carnival of Souls takes the Place, In!
Edit VI:
Noriko's Dinner Table out, as it doesn't resemble the Horror-Genre at all.
Nosferatu in, as there's going to be a Screening with Orchestra on the 31st in Berlin!
