Noted. Let me know if you can think of two more movies. ;)

And get your ass to picking some movies, Desensitized/Spark!

Spark Of Spirit

Problem is the ones I want to list aren't easily available. Like The Devil Rides Out.

It especially doesn't work with this movie because the ending we got is a huge plothole that contradicts the means he was defeated.
Sort of like how they went out of their way to kill the Dream Warriors in part 4.

So, what was the point of part 3, then?

Well, not easy to watch legally, anyways. :sly:

But there aren't any other more commonly available Halloween-appropriate movies that you had in mind? Remember, you don't strictly have to stick to pure horror.

I can still think of a bunch that I like, myself, that qualify:

David Cronenberg's The Fly (more Sci-Fi than horror, but it still fits)
Night of the Creeps
The Others
Beetlejuice (Fits the Halloween theme)
28 Days Later
The Conjuring
Insidious
Sinister
The Sixth Sense
Signs
Gremlins/New Batch (once again, it fits the theme)
Rosemary's Baby

And that's just off the top of my head.

I'm sure that you could think of a few still not nominated that are easier to find, though I'd still accept your more obscure picks, as well.

Rynnec

Picked this one on a whim, but in honor of Christopher Lee, I'll nominate City of the Dead/Horror Hotel.

And if Spark has nothing, and if we're going with "Halloween appropriate" rather than full on horror, then I'll nominate Blade and Blade II.

According to the producers, the point of it was money. But I like that Craven legitimately tried to being back dignity to the series and end it with 3. That was one of two sequels in this series that was actually good.

Rosemary's Baby


How on earth did I not nominate this movie last year?

Spark Of Spirit

The Devil Rides Out
Deliver Us From Evil (2014)
Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed
The Mummy (1959)
Abbott & Costello Meet the Invisible Man

That should be enough, I think.

I almost said An American Werewolf in Paris, but I decided not to be a jerk.

Well, actually there us a 3 film per person limit in place for right now. :sweat:

Could you pick the three out of those that you want to be included the most? If not enough people pick anymore movies within a week of October, then I'll include anyone else's extra picks, including yours. ;)

You didn't nominate it this year, either. :>

Spark Of Spirit

Alright, I'll pick the first three, then.

BTW, Rynnec, I forgot to mention the three film limit to you as well. You picked two horror films and two Blade films. I can include all of those except for one (at the moment). Which three do you prefer?

Tucker & Dale vs. Evil
The Happiness of the Katakuris
Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein

Good choices! :thumbup:

I love AACMF. It reminds me that I need to see more of their stuff as well, including AAMTIM, which Spark brought up earlier.

Thanks! AACMF is one of my all-time favorite films. I used to watch it over and over when I was little. :joy:

Dr. Ensatsu-ken

It was one of my first introductions to the fine art of horror spoofs, as well as parodies in general.

I'm glad to have an excuse to re-watch it, soon.
