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 →

So Halloween is upon us and this year it occurred to me that I had only seen half of the Halloween films. I decided to rectify that this year. Halloween (1978) You know I kind of go back and forth on Halloween. I last saw it in 2009 and thought that while good it was … 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 →

Trick ‘r Treat (2007) — SECOND REVIEW [Halloween 2010] I fucking love this movie. This was the headliner for my Halloween Movie Night and it probably will be every year. Thirty some years ago John Carpenter made a movie called Halloween that was good but didn’t really fully deliver on the potential of the holiday … Continue reading →

Grindhouse (2007) — Sweet Jesus I have been waiting for this for about three years, ever since I got out of the theater after seeing this the first (and until now only) time. Planet Terror and Death Proof have been available separately for years now but this is what Grindhouse was all about: getting the … 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 →
