Re: October Halloween Horror Movie Thread.

Attempted to rewatch The Woman in Black. I could only watch on stupid Pluto tv which is riddled with commercial breaks and I dozed off during one and woke up almost at the end of the film. I will have to try to watch again when I can view on another commercial-free channel because I didn't remember a lot of the movie on the scenes I did see.

Re: October Halloween Horror Movie Thread.

Halloween 2 (1981), 3 and H2O rewatches

Re: October Halloween Horror Movie Thread.

A really cute, sweet, and funny vampire horror comedy romp.



Yes, this is really me.

Re: October Halloween Horror Movie Thread.

This was one hell of a wild ride. The main gal in peril was super cute and funny, plus I loved the seemingly frail old lady who's a lot more dangerous than she looks.



Yes, this is really me.

Re: October Halloween Horror Movie Thread.

This was a perfectly enjoyable supernatural horror thriller.

Re: October Halloween Horror Movie Thread.

so what did you watch this year? what are your favorites? the texas chainsaw massacre? any new discoveries this year or recently like trick 'r treat?

Re: October Halloween Horror Movie Thread.

Actually most of my watches are all in this thread.

Favorites are:

Halloween (1978)
The Thing
Creepshow
Rosemary's Baby
Poltergeist (1982)
The Conjuring
Insidious
Alien
The Sixth Sense
Night of the Demons (1988)
Fright Night (1985)
The Others

There is more, but can't think.

Re: October Halloween Horror Movie Thread.

so fright night is basically a cult classic but i think is overrated as such. so of course they had to remake it bc they have to remake every great and special film we loved in the '80s from '03 to now. which is an injustice bc these films shouldn't be remade bc they can't be made better.

i assume you mean the thing from 1982 right? bc yet again i say again they had to go and remake this classic film which is pointless and such a disrespect to the original.

i am surprised they haven't remade rosemary's baby yet bc they basically have remade every one of the best horror films ever made. hell they even remade the omen.

here is an example of this: every single old movie from the '80s and '70s on your list has been remade in the last 20 years other than alien and creepshow. and the only reason why alien hasn't been remade is bc they keep making sequels so there is no need for a stupid filmmaker to make a remake.

but i guarantee you that had there not been alien: covenant and prometheus there would have been an alien remake in the last 10 years. the think that the public will not watch a remake bc they have already gotten 2 sequels in the last 10 years.

the essential difference between directors directing remakes in the '80s like john carpenter's the thing and chuck russell's the blob compared to nowadays director's remaking '80s and '70s films is today's directors don't have the creativity or directing skills or imagination or vision to make their remakes.

what do you think of this analysis?

lukejbarnett

Re: October Halloween Horror Movie Thread.

The remake of Fright Night wasn't bad and probably better than most remakes. It was entertaining and I liked the different twist on the Peter Vincent character. But some of the other characters like Evil Ed fell short for me and I still prefer the original.

Yes The Thing from 1982, although I also enjoyed the 2011 prequel. That wasn't a remake, but you don't realize it till the very end. Although 1982 was a remake from the 50's or 60's Thing From Another World if that is what you are referring to?

They actually did remake Rosemary's Baby in 2014, but as a 2 part miniseries on television. It was ok, but original way better.

Loved all the Alien sequels such as Aliens, 3, Resurrection. Don't really care for the ones like Prometheus (prequel), Covenant etc without Ripley. They were worth one watch, but that's about it. The exception to that would be Alien vs. Predator (1st one) which I did enjoy.

Regarding The Blob. To me the 1958 version was probably the most terrifying movie I've ever seen. It's haunted me since childhood and I recommend this movie never to be shown to children. I still have recurring nightmares about that thing. The 1988 version is definitely a positive remake and most people prefer that to and find more scary the original. While it was definitely scary, the 1958 version just scares me more. I think it was the whole incident that took place in the doctor's office. I rewatched it about 10 years ago and wish I hadn't because it still had that affect on me. I can no longer watch any versions of that movie. Even the stupid 1970's Larry Hagman directed version: Beware the Blob!

Another pretty scary movie that has had that affect on me is The Exorcist. It has never been remade and even if it was, I don't think it could ever be as terrifying. I think the whole cinematography and no CGI creepy scares for a movie of it's time made it so memorable and stuck with me. I can still watch that once in a while, but have to hide my face during certain scenes.

Re: October Halloween Horror Movie Thread.

sorry for you but i will never, refuse to ever give a '00s to now pointless, inferior remake to a great or classic '60s or '70 or '80s movie a chance.

how could you possibly not know it is a prequel until the end?

i just talked to a coworker about his favorite horror films he said his favorite is 1982's the thing and he also said the texas chainsaw maccacre (1974) is very good.

i don't remember referring to the original the thing movie but i know that john carpenter's the thing is a remake of the thing from another world.

of course they remade rosemary's baby for tv bullshit just like how they remade the shining in 1997 for tv. although it is a lot more faithful to the book it's not as good of a thing as the movie from 1980.

maybe you are older than me? bc for you to say the original the blob was very scary makes me think you were young when it came out maybe? i watched it a few years ago and it is very old movie scary so not scary to someone who has seen a lot of horror movies that are a lot newer than it.

but then again when i was a little kid i was sacred by some movies that i cant believe scared me bc when you are really young a lot things scare you. for me it was fantasia.

never watched the exorcist, just can't get enough courage to watch it. well they remade psycho so anything is possible in creativeless hollywood but i really think that was a statement on proving that you shouldn't remake classic films. it was a lesson movie for everyone to not remake the best films. bc the absurdity of remaking psycho is the ultimate movie remake that can't be made. on par with casablanca the sound of music, the godfather, the wizard of oz, gone with the wind, and citizen kane.

Re: October Halloween Horror Movie Thread.

There was a scene (I believe) in the 2011 The Thing that revealed some of what they found from 1982 version. I don't know if you saw both, but it was the scene where they killed one of the humanoid monsters outside in the snow near some shed off in the distance. I believe it was the same monster they brought back in 2011. I have to watch again to make sure what I am telling you is correct. But if you don't remember every scene from 1982 you might not pick up on it. It was not until the very end of 2011's when you see the helicopter and the dog that you definitely realize it was a prequel as that was the opening scene for 1982.

I wasn't alive when The Blob 1958 came out. I watched it when they use to air it on television.

Re: October Halloween Horror Movie Thread.

sorry but just a scene at the very end with a helicopter and a dog meaning we know it is before the thing(1982)doesn't make it a prequel bc a prequel should have more in it than just one scene which makes it before another movie. it should have the whole movie with things and characters and objects and story material that connect with the movie that takes place after said movie.

oh ok so you might be my age i'm 44 now.

Re: October Halloween Horror Movie Thread.

The Thing 2011 is a direct sequel to the first. If you refuse to believe, so be it. It's not a matter of opinion, IT'S FACT.

Re: October Halloween Horror Movie Thread.

and you're for the obvious and simple reason that it is fucking called the thing you cant call a prequel the same name as the original.

lukejbarnett

Re: October Halloween Horror Movie Thread.

Why are you swearing? It's not surprising that you don't believe this as you refuse to believe that Rutger Hauer is dead.

Oh, and Keri Russell still isn't Kurt Russell's daughter or related in any way.

Re: October Halloween Horror Movie Thread.

Any mention of the film online refers to it as a prequel. He's stubborn in his beliefs.

Re: October Halloween Horror Movie Thread.

that's trickery though and not based in film rules. rule is a sequels and prequels can't have the same name as the original.

yeah that idiot i just blocked actually said it's a sequel.

well that exposes the director and writer's lack of confidence and integrity in making it if they were afraid people would compare it to the '82 movie. which proves it shouldn't have been made bc if the filmmakers themselves questioned if it should be made bc they weren't confident with it then they shouldn't have made it.

Re: Horror Movie Thread *Title changed*

so part 4 is the best film in this series with the original the 2nd best. part 4 is that monumentally, epically, and masterfully made. this says a lot bc the original is a masterpiece. the 3rd best is part 3. then part 5, then wes craven's new nightmare, then part 2, then part 6.

i love that part 4 and part 5 have lisa wilcox bc that usually doesn't ever happen in slasher movies sequels. usually they don't have character in more than one movie.

how does your personal love ranking for this series go?

Re: Horror Movie Thread *Title changed*

exactly bc it was ground breaking and meta and unlike any of the other sequels and the original. and scream cant claim to be the first meta slasher movie bc this film was made 2 years before it and jason goes to hell was made 3 years before it.

no love for part 2, part 5, or part 6? i love all of them. i love all of them different amounts. what didn't you like about parts 2, 5, and 6?

lukejbarnett

Re: Horror Movie Thread *Title changed*

I didn't hate them, but they just were kind of dull compared to 1, 3 & 4. A lot of people aren't into 4, but I think it's a great continuation of 3. Also like how Alice obtained a bit of all the victims the Freddy took.

Re: Horror Movie Thread *Title changed*

this is by far the most intellectual and imaginative slasher movie series of all time it's also by far the classiest, most surreal, most creative and the most artistic slasher movie series of all time.

exactly part 2 i found boring and it didn't have that great of special effects but part 5 i love and it's story and characters and set pieces are as imaginative and creative and artistic as the set pieces in part 3 and part 4. part 6 is kind of dumb with the set pieces at least the video game part and having cameos by roseaane and tom arnold made it dumb and cheap.

Re: Horror Movie Thread *Title changed*

so you agree with me that it is objectively and technically the best slasher movie series of all time? the texas chainsaw massacre series has a lot of duds as does the halloween series whereas this series doesn't have a dud and the best films are some of the best films ever made. so part 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7.
