Alas, another month has past into history, therefore time to discover what I saw, since it’s a special month it’s divided in two aspects first a classic Alfred Hitchcock movie returned for a special engagement, North By Northwest [1959] and then it has my birthday, so it was this day to watch a series of favorite movies. Therefore, let’s begin the review of the month in which the continual question is asked would you trust your friends and strangers on the net to choose films for you to watch each month? Knowing some likely to pick the weird, goofy or silly versus the entertainment and thought-provoking beloved treasures of the horror genre, and now with many being in honoring of an anniversary, it can be fun and yet scary journey one that take-on each passing month.

Hence in 28-days I saw 54-movies, which clearly means I certainly indulged in watching many films on the 23rd, my birthday namely four. There was 27th another important day as it honors Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, and Linnea Quigley’s birthdays and the day before was Peter Cushing that’s an incredible bit of trivia. Although, I must comment that on May 9th there was the sad passing of the b-movie king of the genre Roger Corman, who gave so many the opportunity to launch their careers, and those individuals would arrange guest roles to film to say thanks. Hence, we selected three films of his, where he was director, producer or actor, and sometimes he shows his legendary skills of wearing multiple hats for a given production. Aside from that, there was one foreign movie, in French, with subtitles called Pandemonium, a religious-arthouse-horror. The list contains two television movies (well actually a movie and episode) and two documentaries, and the oldest film on the list is Dial M for Murder [1954] which is a Alfred Hitchcock film, and he also claimed the second oldest with North By Northwest which was tied with The Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake [1959]. Lastly the two most popular decades were first the 1980s with 13-flicks and then the 70s with 11-movies.
