    Adam DeVine is single-handedly ruining this movie.

    Just listened to Proof and it was pretty awesome. Corpse is great too.

    Which are the best of the long episodes? I kinda want a stamp of approval before I invest an hour and a half.

    It wasnt even that the plot was bad, it just isn't a "horror" movie or even a thriller/suspense. It's more Shakespearean love story/drama that happens to partially take place in a haunted house.

    I read several interviews where he mentioned that it was a throw back to "classic" horror films with big scenery and a focus on a love story but that it was still very much a horror film. Except that it wasn't. At all.

    One remake I really did enjoy was the amityville horror with Rayn Reynolds. The little girl in the movie freaked me the fuck out and surprisingly rayna Reynolds was actually pretty damn good as main person. And he's just so dreamy. :fag:

    Crimson Peak was great and very well done but it doesn't belong in this thread as it is not a horror movie.

    looks like AMC's skipping Halloween 3 this year :crossedarms:

    guess they could just be putting it on as a stand alone later on, does make sense to not show it as part of the Halloween marathon

    yes, to everything you just said, it blows my mind that a movie like that was even conceived, let alone for the Halloween series, and I can't stop laughing every time I see it

    Halloween wasn't meant to be what it is. It was supposed to be an anthology series regarding things that happen around Halloween. Halloween 2 having Myers was only made that way because John Carpenter agreed to it so long as he could begin his anthology. Then 3 was hated because it didn't have Myers.

    When I was 10, the local newspaper used to print American flags that said Support Our Troops in the Sunday version of the paper. You were supposed to tape the flag to one of your house windows to show your support for the troops.

    I got three flags and completely blocked the window in my bedroom.

    A babysitter let me watch Stephen King's vampire movie Salem's Lot. After that, I needed the flags to block vampires from coming to my window at night and hypnotizing me into opening the window.

    I watched it and the two VHS movies this weekend because of this thread. Liked all three. All three are on Netflix. I also watched Alone With Her with Colin Hanks on Netflix. It came up as a recommendation after watching those. It's not a horror movie but really creepy and has gratuitous nudity with a hot Mexican girl.

    Going to check out Cannibal Holocaust this weekend. Trying to find Be My Cat: A film for Anne online somewhere. Found footage horror film about a guy who becomes obsessed with Anne Hathaway after seeing her as Catwoman.

    This is pretty accurate. These are the exact last 3 movies I watched. I like the Babadook but the way he was defeated was pretty damn lame. Creep was badass.

    Just watched Creep based on this thread and really surprised how bad I thought it was compared to everyone else here. The whole thing came off as silly. I thought the guy playing Aaron was a bad actor which was tough to watch in a movie with only two people. The end was fairly disturbing but through most of the movie I never found Josef particularly unnerving. The constant jumping into frame screaming kept me on edge, but without an eerie element I just think it's tedious. Also the frustrating scene where he finally calls the cops about a stalker and they end the phone call in like 10 seconds telling him to fuck off they don't care unless he can explain exactly who his stalker is and where he lives...

    I can see this, the guy who played Aaron was not a great actor, but, in that role I thought that worked, he came off as an unwilling participant to me, which seems right for the situation.

    I like horror movies that could be real. That's why I loved Creep, and also why The Strangers is probably my favorite horror movie. It takes a really well done ghost or monster movie(It Follows, The Conjuring, etc.) to really get to me at this point.

    I don't differentiate as much. Seeing The Amityville Horror as a kid is still probably the scariest movie experience I've ever had. Funny Games probably fucked with me the most.
