Well, he was no Bruce Campbell, but he did a great job. It focused on the comedy more than anything. The songs were hilarious, and the whole cast really impressed me. I went into it expecting disappointment... I mean Evil Dead as a musical? My man was especially skeptical, but we laughed the whole time and really enjoyed ourselves. You should look it up on YouTube. We did that before going, and while what we saw was funny, we thought it still would be horribly cheesy. While we enjoy that sort of thing, and the Bruce Campbell movies are generally cheesy, we still thought the singing would get annoying. Not so, the fact that it didn't take the story line at all serious and just made every attempt to make the "cheese" factor over the top made us actually look forward to the songs. I highly recommend it, if any one has the opportunity.

Gosh, that kinda sounded like some of my toy reviews... lol. I apologize. Thinking back on it made me remember the experience and how bad I want that show to come back. I have so many friends that I have told about it that would love to go.

The Shining still scares the shit out of me everytime I watch it. It's just perfect.

I LOOOOVE Italian horror films, like from Dario Argento and Lucio Fulci.

Black Christmas (the original), Shaun of the Dead if that counts lol, Suspiria, May, Psycho (Hitch's version of course) and Halloween.

And I really like Wolf Creek but a lot of people bash it.

And anything from the 70s! That's gotta be the best decade for horror.

Even though it hasn't been made yet, my all time favorite is "World War Z". It's in pre-production now.

In my opinion, Shutter Island was 'eh' as far as movies go but it wasn't really scary. All the frightening or creepy parts were shown in the commercials, it ended up being a much different storyline than I expected.
I just sat down and watched Shutter Island tonight, and my take on it is that it was bad for what they billed it as, which was horror in general. But on its own, as a movie, it was really good. At least in my opinion.

I love Shutter Island. I've seen it like 8 times and pick up something new every time I see it. Loooove it.

I really liked it. I think I'll have to watch it a few more times to fully make up my mind on what I think really happened tho, lol

The movie will be based off the book of the same name, and was written by Max Brooks. The best way to describe the book is kind of like the documentaries a lot of people do after wars and other tragic events. This one is a written documentary type thing (fiction) with interviews with the people who survived the zombie apocalypse, in which zombies spread globally and wreaked havoc, hence World War Z, for World War Zombie.

I'm sure JR could describe it better, but it's a huge bowl of awesomesauce.

World War Z wiki page sums it up pretty well.

Oh, another great movie that I guess almost wouldn't qualify as horror as it's so bad it's awesome is Undead. I just bought it and can't wait to watch it again.

I saw Undead when it first came out on DVD, it was fun! Unless I am mistaken, that is the one with that giant invisible wall. I can't remember exactly what that dude looked like, but I think that I have longer hair and a better beard

For sure on both accounts.

And the wall wasn't so much invisible. More like a giant trap to keep people from getting in or out. And the aliens sucked people up into the clouds and the one beauty queen was trying to keep it from happening til she realized the aliens responsible for the zombies were trying to clean up, lol

My favorite is still the Evil Dead series. I also loved Aliens, Predator, Silence of the Lambs, and the Exorcist. I'm a huge fan of all horror movies, but most are just entertaining and not truly worthy of a second or third viewing.
