I really enjoy the 2018 movie but two things stick out from it as memorable to me- the tracking shot of Michael killing people in their houses is one of the best moments in the entire series and Carpenter & company's score is flatout fantastic. They created new music that is definitely Halloween...

It's pretty great to see the movies develop and change over time. You can see the code come in and calm the movies down, Universal move away from horror in the mid to late 30's, the resurgence of their horror movies in the late 30's, the shift to B-movies during WWII, the switch to...

Wait until you see my list. I haven't numbered my list so I may have watched more than some people here.
I'm posting the list tonight but don't have time to write reviews.
I'm not going to really defend bagel banging but it plays as more real to me than the original movie's Laurie who seems like a fully formed adult rather than a teenager. The girls in this movie are kids and seem like people I knew at that age. Plus, excellent supporting actors like William...
Yeah, I watched this again for the first time in a couple of years and disliked it more than I ever had before. I still think the opening is the better half of the movie (even though it's all white trash stereotypes) but that's because I never really cared for the second half of the movie. The...
I'm still woefully behind in posting the movies I've watched and to make it worse, I keep watching a ridiculous amount of movies every day. I write them down as I go but I haven't numbered them but I must be way over 100 by now.
Yeah, sequel episodes were few and far between on The X-FIles. Off the top of my head, there was a sequel to S2's Irresistible (a great scary episode) called Orison in S7 and S3's Pusher (another winner) had a sequel in S5 called Kitsunegari. Both of those episodes really fail to live up to the...
Anyone who is a fan of The Thing should check out the first season XF episode "Ice". They ripped off The Thing (in a good way) back before that movie was reappraised and before anyone other than horror fans remembered it.
And just to be a nitpicker :), the first monster of the week XF episode...
There was a commercial for that on the Friday The 13th Part VI- Jason Lives VHS and it is burned into my memory. The commercial had a clip of Rosemary's Baby ("This is no dream, this is really happening!") that, to the young me, was one of the scariest things I had ever seen.
Grotesque was a really dark episode for network TV in 1996 and probably one of the darkest episodes of The X-Files. After that, Chris Carter funneled his really dark stuff to Millennium which started later that year.
Also, the kid that gets killed at the beginning of Syzygy is Ryan Reynolds.
32. Scream
A killer stalks a group of teens. A great opening, winning characters and funny. A classic and Wes Craven's best movie! I was a horror movie loving high schooler when this movie came out so it will always have a place in my heart.
33. Scream 2
A killer stalks the first movie's...
I've watched a whole lot of movies over the past week since I last posted so I'm just going to break up my list into chunks of ten or so to make it easier.
20. Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers
LIke the title says, Michael returns. By no means is it up to the Carpenter entries but this...
I had planned to watch the movies in the Al Adamson set in the order they came out but once I saw the set went with a theme and there was 30-some of them, I decided it was too much work to look up the release order on that many movies. :) I have to say that I enjoyed seeing the biker movies...
Funny you mention that. The Green Slime was the movie that they used as a 30 minute pilot (more like a proof of concept and not intended for broadcast) that got the go ahead from the Minneapolis TV station that originally ran Mystery Science Theater 3000.
From all accounts, this was a Weinstein special where their editing and reshooting destroyed something that might have been good. For what it's worth, everyone involved was saying that before the Weinsteins went down too which lends the stories alot of credence in my mind.
Yeah, Shout Factory is releasing this one on Tuesday. The Digital Bits has their review of it up: https://thedigitalbits.com/item/friday-the-13th-collection-de-scream-2020-bd-01
EDIT: Michael beat me but the Bits' review covers the set and the huge amount of extras nicely.
