Its perfectly servicable b movie fair. Doesn't do anything original but a decent enough horror monster mash that it's fun.

  • Exorcist III
  • Dream Warriors
  • Army of Darkness

Season of the god-drat Witch.

Also Final Destination 3 has one of the best kills of the entire series.

Nightmare 3 as I've said many times in the thread is both my favorite Nightmare and one of my favorite horror movies so it's gonna win for me. And while I don't like Halloween 3 more than the original I do love how unique it is and it has such a great aesthetic and incredible ending.

Exorcist III took that series into a place you didn’t think it would go and it’s a masterpiece. I also adore Dream Warriors but that’s more of an escalation of a theme into it’s most bombastic form. I mean there are a lot of great options but it’s Exorcist for me.

I like 3 more than 2 and 5. 3 has a bit more of the existential dread stuff that I really like from one that most of the sequels dropped.

2 leans all the way into utterly sadistic glee, like Death's Design was being piloted by a gremlin. 5 is just really solid and actually adds to the lore rather than just resetting to one and forcing us (and the protagonists) to clumsily google screenshots of previous movies' victims in the second act.

This is a mega tough call between Exorcist 3 and Day of the Dead.

I think I have to give it up to Exorcist 3. No one in those other movies is holding a candle to what George C Scott and Brad Dourif are putting down.

Sunday is Cinema Day (tickets are $4 all day), so yeah poo poo is gonna be especially packed this weekend

The $4 price also includes premium showings such as IMAX, XD, DBOX, 3D..etc. Some theaters are also doing a discount on concessions too.

Going from presale numbers by me, looks like this is going to be bigger than the last Cinema Day they did.

For anyone in LA with Spectrum, “Gargoyles” is showing on KCOPDT3 right now.

It’s a lovely early 70s horror flick but it terrified us kids back then, and I have fond memories of the film.

First thing I ever saw Scott Glenn in, and Bernie Casey plays King Gargoyle.

Man this was just a blast. Absolutely top-tier IMO, the wraparound segment is juuuuust a little overindulgent, but you know what? Ryan Spindell earns it, and I really enjoyed almost all of this. The third story (Tell-Tale Heart redux) was a little rough, but the others were just lights-out, congealing the best of Raimi and Dante into one perfect little package. Not sure what the period-piece of the early 70s had to do with anything, just felt like it needlessly complicated things, but it was appreciated.

Did anyone else notice the shattered husband was the other guard in the TV interview, signaling maybe he and the other 'guard' were escaped nutcases who stole some uniforms

Clancy Brown channeling Angus Scrimm was megafun.

lol, I love how absolutely no one in the thread has gone with The Purge: Election Year.

It's a very close tie between Day of the Dead and Army of Darkness for me. Day is very well-made but kinda depressing, while Army of Darkness is a lot of fun.

It's a strong rewatch, too! It's such a fun, clever little piece and it's crazy that it's from 2006. Leslie Vernon is such a great character.

Election Year is in fact really great, but it's like asking who's the best hitter of the 90s and then including Juan Gonzalez. Like, yeah, he was really good, but we're talking Griffey, Thomas, Gwynn, Bonds here so it kinda gets lost in the shuffle. FWIW, it's the best Purge movie by a lot.

The Purge as a concept is iconic, but The Purge: Election Year is the only one that has iconic scenes in my opinion (the bits with the Miley Cyrus girl gang and the gang of euro murder tourists)

Sorry, don't recall a single scene from Election Year. Meanwhile The First Purge just cuts to the chase:



The War On Staten Island is pretty much the only memorable event of the whole series.
