ALWAYS a solid choice!
It's Halloween. I've seen every horror movie worth seeing. What should I watch tonight?

I wonder how the family feels about one of their family members being in a cheap slasher flick as a pseudo Elvis/Fonzie impersonator with a massive driller killer guitar and starring the chick from Wings (Crystal Bernard, who is a total hottie on the level of, say, Shawnee Smith).No account for taste i suppose. The ones I liked in Flint were different.....owned a bunch of franchises around the area.....they had the stromboli.....they don't have that everywhere.
Anywho....i make my own now anyway.
Big Detroit sports fan here.....so I kind of know about the family and the history.

I have seen and liked the stuff above.Here's a bunch of not-so-mainstream titles (and some mainstream that are great) with great variety. Spooky, gory, classic, comical & anthology
A film a really love and that gets confused with Trick R Treat is Trick or Treat from the 80s. I recently ordered the overpriced (this shit better be fucking TOP notch!) remaster/re-release of Trick or Treat from the 80s. If that thing shows up damaged in the slightest or fucked up at all through shipping, I will throw a goddamn fit, mainly because they didn't even really announce it, and by the time I was alerted to its release, two of the three cover variants were sold out. The one I wanted was of course sold out, so I got the one they still had a few copies of. Synapse Films will never get another single, solitary penny from me for that in addition to the price (plus wanting freaking shipping, pricks!).

Sorry, but FUCK Ed and Lorraine Warren. Grady Hendrix said it best, and I quote, "An all you can eat buffet of occult bullshit" in regards to Amityville Horror, which they perpetrated onto America. Same goes for this Conjuring junk.and...
Also, I have a personal beef with Daniel Radcliffe, as well.

Motel Hell is a legendary piece of 80s horror Velveeta, I'll have you know! They don't make them like this anymore, mainly because they can't do anything in between overly too serious for its own good or so "wet" and overly comedic to make sure everyone got that it was meant to be "funny." I blame SNL for this style of "comedy." I prefer my comedy a few steps more "dry," thanks.

I love Wolf Cop! I wish they would put it and Another Wolf Cop somewhere for streaming. (Or I'll probably just remember to buy both of them at some point, if they are still available. Every thing I try to find lately is either OOP and mega expensive or from Spain.)

I tend to want to enjoy my horror. The Spew is a better title for that dreck.

Anything to do with teeth creeps me the hell out. I'm still traumatized from this picture my girlfriend posted years ago on Twitter. Apparently, a child will have their adult teeth above their baby teeth, and when they die, you can apparently see them when the flesh, etc. is cleaned from the skull? (shudders) That shit still frightens me!

I am sure it is great, but I have a difficult time watching Anthony Perkins in stuff like this and Psycho 3 where it is more and more obvious he is unwell due to drugs and HIV/AIDS. His kids have done a decent job of trying to white wash their father's past (for good reason, frankly), but the reasons for his drug abuse are sad and The National Enquirer (or was it the other major tabloid?) exposing his HIV+ status is pretty fucked up.Not a horror per se, but a great suspense type flick loosely based on Dr jekyll Mr Hyde

The Autopsy of Jane Doe is quite an engaging film. There is a difference between a slow burn and a film that drags and does much of fuck all. Jane Doe is slow, but is engaging from the beginning.We're watching Terrifier 3 rn.Autopsy of Jane Doe is great!

Hellraiser and Hellraiser II are good. After Hellraiser III, which is decent enough (though it removes all previous Cenobites aside from Pinhead), but it tries too hard to make Pinhead into Freddy Krueger. It only sort of works, but misses a lot of the vibe/atmosphere that makes the first two work.
After that, don't bother. The series has several films in a row that could've been three segments in a Pinhead anthology, because they could've told the story in 30 minutes or less, and because Doug Bradley is hardly in them. My understanding is that most of the sequels after Hellraiser III were written as something else and Dimension had someone shoehorn Pinhead to keep the rights.

Absolutely. Most good movie franchises get ruined by being squeezed for every last drop with multiple sequels.
A great analogy is the Alien franchise. Alien and Aliens are awesome… then the 3rd one was one of the biggest pieces of shit I have ever seen, and the rest aren’t great. But they did a great homage to the original with Romulus.
Which brings us to the more recent Hellraiser, it came out a couple years ago and it wasn’t perfect but it was pretty good, did you see it?

Great cast as well. Brian Cox should be in more stuff.
We rewatched the first one for me (at least) the first time in probably 30+ years? It's actually a great schlock fest \m/
