Complete (I Think) 2012 Viewing List and Faves

Despite inexplicably not having a few months worth of viewing lists, I think this is a pretty complete snapshot of what I watched in 2012. As always, I don't see enough new stuff in theaters (or even on video) to put together a "Best Of" list for that calendar year so I'll just stick with a list of Ten Favorite New Views as well as some Honorable Mentions (also new views). Big shout-outs, though, to getting to see both HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH and Stuart Gordon's FROM BEYOND on the big screen this year. Those flicks have long topped my theatrical bucket list (along with NIGHT OF THE CREEPS), so even though I'd seen them a ton of times on video it was great to see 35mm prints of both the way they were meant to be seen.
