Hide contents This is a film that more than a few film critics think served as inspiration for that series: Also really low budget it was shot over a period of a few years - since it features a teenage cast a couple of them visibly age in some scenes. It never got a major release and went the route of the drive in circuit. It also played on low budget independent television stations since the rental was cheap - I saw it more tnat once on the Friday night horror movies on WTCN in Minneapolis. If you don't mind low budget efforts it is worth checking out. The science fiction author Fritz Leiber appears in a rare acting role in the original versions of the film.

As much as i'm not a fan of the peacock network for wrestling stuff... this was a big plus. Haven't missed a new Halloween since H20. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even liked the Evil Dead remake. Very different tone, but still good. If you are an Evil Dead fan, I'd also recommend Return of the Living Dead and especially Braindead/Dead Alive Edited October 5, 2021 by G-type 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMark0673 | 197 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I just watched Prince of Darkness again last night on Peacock. Not Carpenter's best work, but it's always been a favorite of mine. I really enjoy the mending of Science and Religion and some scenes are genuinely unnerving. If you're a Carpenter fan and haven't seen it, it's a must watch for sure.

I actually haven’t seen this Carpenter film, thanks for the heads up on it I’ll add it to my Halloween movie list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd post a meme'd gif, but it would spoil one of my favorite jump scares of all time. I actually put my coworker's face into the gif once for a work thing. It was such a huge hit, but I no longer have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarzombie | 924 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Dead Alive was another movie like Evil Dead I never got into. In the mid 90s I was renting all these horror movies and when I heard about Dead Alive, it was the 'goriest' movie of all time. I watched it and was disappointed because its like, silly, red water gore. I was hoping it to be more realistic and serious. Then I watched it a few years ago. It was so obviously a comedy! What was I thinking? I just re-watched TCM 2 a few times. Again, never realizing how kind of silly it is. Its growing on me more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the first one but was a little sceptical when I heard they would do a second. I was thinking about it a bit. Halloween kinda broke the genre for slashers, but after the first one, it was always trying to keep up with what was popular. Friday the 13th, Scream/Blair Witch etc. The past few movies seems like they stand on their own. The problem is, you can't ever have another 'suspenseful' art horror piece like 78. With our ADHD world it'll be too boring. So I think with this one they got all the main points right. Great music, atmosphere, Michael comes off as truly evil and scary. Its also got a high kill rate, so I can't say it was really lacking in anything. Im gonna watch it again later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might save it specifically for a watch on Halloween. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabonga | 2,317 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) I will probably watch "Trick r Treat" and one other movie - maybe "Motel Hell" or "Scarecrows". Edited October 15, 2021 by Tabonga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then you get 4, and 5 which puts off answering questions on someone else which 6 tries. Its so convoluted, the hell with it, lets start over again with h20. Another quick success leads to a rushed new one, which I absolutely hate. So the series now going "Fuck it. Fuck it all" I'll run with. Id rather have 78, 18 and Kills and call that my series. But it isn't any more as convoluted as F13. It comes with the territory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
