I think the new Halloween has disaster written all over it (1 Viewer)

I enjoy watching horror films but Jeepers Creepers was just bad. The first 30 min. was good but then the movie got decidingly worse.

OOPS! For got to list my other favorite horror films.
Psycho
Killer Klowns From Outer Space

"Killer Klowns From Outer Space? Holy shit!"
"Wes Craven's New Nightmare" was a very good movie,but IMO it did more harm than good to the ANOES series.By saying the series of movies was just that... movies.
As for Freddy becoming "too jokey" as you said i like to look at that in the sense that he got used to his powers,he knew exactly what he could do.IMO,once again,he was strongest from part 3 on,and actually weakest in the first movie.I say that because he started to use peoples worst fears against them and made fun of them indefinitely.I mean whats worse.someone that just right out kills you? Or someone that fucks with your mind and makes fun of you and turns your worst fears against you? The latter,of course.
I myself didn't like the overall outcome of Freddy's Dead,but it has a few great moments,like "Every town.... has an elm street!" I get chills every time i hear that.
It also has alot of things i wish hadn't of been done/said,like saying Freddy killed the towns children because they took his daughter away!
WTF!?
As for part 2.... i like it.Dark,unintentionally funny at times,but the plot holes are obvious.The pool scene,shower scene etc.Overall i got more out of FR than FD.
Excuse the pre-ceding fanboy rant
As for Friday the 13th....
I like part 4 the most for some reason.It has a really uneasy feel about it.I also like Jason Lives,well,except for that weak/boring car chase.The rest i don't really care for,but have the first 6 DVDs of the series.
And for Halloween....
The first is a classic and 2 is good in it's own right.I even like 3.4 was a good try.5 was bad.6 was.... shit.7 felt like too many people had a hand in it.
Okay,i'm done.
P.S.:Without Freddy more than likely a 'Lord of the Rings" movie trilogy would not have been made yet.Without Freddy and ANOES NL most likely would'nt even exist to this day.
Oh,and for those that don't know Peter Jackson wrote a screenplay for an Nightmare movie.I read that in a issue of Fangoria around the time FRIGHTENERS came out.

I stopped watching Halloween AND F13 after #3 on both of them.

I saw the new Halloween: Resurrection trailer in front of Jason X tonight and I have to say it peaked my interest. I like MM's new look...his mask has never looked better, very evil looking. I'm a sucker for my old horror icons I grew up with. If I can still be entertained by Jason I know I'll be in line for Halloween in July.

I have to admit, the Halloween: Resurrection preview also impressed me as well.

I was very open-minded but somewhat skeptical about this one, but the preview has actually got me interested.

Immortal or not, eyes don't grow back.

Well, my own research with Immortals seems to be at odds with yours. Where was your study published?

 

[Nate Anderson]

I'll be in line for Halloween in July.

Does this seem like a weird time to release a Halloween movie to anyone else?

Definitely...but if it worked for H20...
