This article was originally published on 12ftdwende.com 2 April 2010. So I had a vague awareness of the Nightmare on Elm Street series as a small child. I would walk with great trepidation through the horror isle of the video store knowing that here were things not for young’ns like myself. I knew that there … Continue reading →

Black Christmas (2006) — So I know the original is a classic and the first modern slasher movie and blah blah blah but I like this one better. Why, you may ask? Because this movie is deliriously fucked-up on damn near every level. It’s not really a “good” movie by any commonly accepted definition, but … Continue reading →

Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006) — This film is set in the same world where Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, and Freddy Krueger have carried on their reigns of terror. Leslie Vernon is the man who wants to follow in their footsteps. The structurally patters itself somewhat on the Belgian film Man … Continue reading →

Halloween II (2009) — Anyone noticing a pattern here? Three Michael Myers movies in one day. Plus a movie featuring Mike Myers yesterday (interestingly enough Mike Myers is mentioned in Halloween II). So more of what worked in Rob Zombie’s Halloween, less of what didn’t, but it still evens out to about the same. The … Continue reading →

Halloween (2007) — There really is a lot to hate about this movie, but watching it back-to-back with the original I liked it better than I remember liking it. While I would hesitate to call it a better movie than the original, I was somewhat more entertained by it. Most of my problems with it … Continue reading →

Halloween (1978) — Watched this today and it was nowhere near as good as I remember it being. Maybe my memories have been colored by all the hype and the iconography. I don’t know. But I remember this movie being more awesome. There’s definitely stuff to like and I did like the movie a lot, … Continue reading →
