This is interesting (or, at least more interesting than you'd think): Mick Garris talks about the genesis of "Psycho IV: The Beginning" (1990).

Slightly crazy? A seven hour documentary about the history of the "Friday the 13th" franchise. Features over 150 interviews with casts and crews. It's narrated by ... Corey Feldman.

Holy overkill Batman!
I'll still watch it.
I'm getting my October Horror Movie Watch List together. I vow to watch 3+ horror movies a week with the GF.
Heh yeah I heard about that film. Sounds outrageously long but I want to see it. I love the F13th series.Quoting Irish (view post)
Also while my Horrorfest has been a bit slow I've picked up the pace recently. Still three reviews behind though. My latest write up was on The Evil Dead remake, which I liked despite going in expecting to hate it.

I didn't even WANT to like it, but after seeing it ... I picked up the Blu-Ray. (Hey, it was on sale at Target for $20!!)
Notice my avatar, even.
You guys are weird. The flick was meh. Opinion given.
It was terrible. Not even Meh. Doesn't deserve to be in my collection.
I gave it a big fat EH. It'll probably improve while viewing with the likes of Spun, bac0n, and perhaps our buddy Steve.

Oh so that's where its from. I couldn't really tell since the 160 x 90 format sometimes doesn't work with certain pictures.
Some aspects of the remake were pretty well done. Other parts, not so much. You can read my review on my blog if you feel like it.

Evil Dead remake was surprisingly decent. Not great by any means, nowhere near the original(s), but a case of "it could have been ssssooo much worse."
Jane Levy carried it well.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
:lol:
Rowdy Roddy Piper is a guest at the Mile High Horror Festival. Linda Blair is there too... I will not be there, sadly.
My Horrorfest is being slowed down by real life, sports, and work. Plus Netflix via DVD taking really way too long (two-three days) to reach me. I'll probably end up viewing into November again.

Posting this link while at work so 1) I can share it with fellow horror geeks and 2) I can watch the videos when I get home.

They have The Cat with Hands, which is one of my favorite horror shorts. Definitely check it out Bedfellows, too, if you have not.
Yeah, I think Alma was posted elsewhere on the site a while back, but that's excellent stuff as well.

Ugh?
I watched House (1977) this week. I'm... sort of speechless. Not at all what I was expecting, or in the mood for that night. My wife is still angry with me.
Mike: Hey, let's watch House tonight.
Val: Ooh, I like Hugh Laurie.

The original was lean and brutal.
That tagline worries me, like they're trying to appeal to a youngish crowd with "Wolf Creek 2: Spring Break."
Agreed on both counts.
One of my favorite memories from the first one:

“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, er... an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks and that's all.”
Loved the original. Why make a sequel though?
