When I saw it wasn't coming on TV (it usually does on Halloween, on AMC the past couple of years) I went out and bought the DVD.
I need to upgrade to BluRay, they have a special "Silver Shamrock Edition".
Yeah, AMC dropped the ball by skipping 2 and 3. Honestly the only ones of the series that I like are 1-3 and Part 6(Producers Cut).
Yeah, I don't understand skipping 2 especially. To me the Michael Myers story is 1 & 2, as they feel like one continuous movie, and that's it. Everything from 4 onward I don't give two shits about. I don't know about H20, I remember seeing it in the theater, but I was a senior in HS, and I think a little inebriated, so I don't remember anything about it. AMC is skipping straight from 1 to 4.
I haven't seen the Rob Zombie ones yet, I need to, so I'm not including those in Halloween films I don't give a shit about."See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"0 -
The scariest movie I've seen is About Schmidt.
I still have nightmare about the Kathy Bates topless scene .... fucking MPAA should have made an explicit warning.

I did not like the R. Zombie remakes in the least bit. He tried going deeper with theorigins/meaning of why M. Myers came to be, basically making his family white trashy. This ruined the whole thing and in reality takes away from the mystery of the Originals. There is no real reason, he was just pure evil.SatansFuton wrote:Dr. Delight wrote:

Especially this part...

Woo!!! I'll probably stream it tonight too, thanks!
And
SO GOOD!!!!
I believe we call that "Zanetastic".
It's funny, William Sadler and Billy Zane star in this, and they were also the stars of my two favorite Tales From The Crypt episodes. Sadler as the guy who throws the switch on the electric chair but gets laid off when the death penalty is abolished, so he goes vigilante. That was the very first episode by the way. And Zane as the magician who takes on the 9 lives of a cat and does live snuff shows.
The one that still scares the shit out of me to this day though is the one where the crazy axe murderer escapes the nuthouse on Christmas Eve dressed as Santa. I remember seeing it on Christmas Eve as a kid, and instead of not being able to sleep because I was excited about presents, I couldn't sleep because I was worried about this guy hanging out around my house..."See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"0 -

Can I ask you a question or 3? I really love The Shining - watched it a bunch of times, and I always walk away with 3 very puzzling questions...and since you listed it, own the score - I'm assuming you are as big if not bigger fan - here it goes:
1) Early in the flick the manager tells Jack that Charles Grady was the caretaker who went crazy, chopped up his wife and kids and shot himself with a shotgun. Later on Jack confronts Delbert Grady and told him he was the caretaker who chopped up his wife and kids and shot himself with a shotgun. He recognized the name and picture from the newspapers. They are obviously the exact same person with 2 first names. Why???
2) Who lets Jack out of the freezer? Is it Delbert Grady?
3) Does Wendy also have "the Shining" like Danny as she sees the ghosts and horror at the end?
(I assume YES to the last 2 questions)
God I love this movie!!!! (Kubrick was a genius)11.30.93~10.2.96~9.13.98~9.1.00~8.25.00~7.3.03~7.5.03

I think the original Stephen King The Shining was better. I feel like the movie altered the story in a negative way0

Yes I LOVE the movie - I'm also a huge Stephen King fan so the book is also a fave. They are different in many ways if you haven't read the book. Your questions:
1) Hmm...honestly I never even noticed that!! The only thing I can think of is that Charles gave Jack the wrong name to throw him off? I'll have to look into that, good catch!
2) Yep, he lets him out so that he can 'take care of' his wife and son.
3) As far as I know Wendy does not have the 'Shining'. If you read the book - the hotel uses Danny's ability and it strengthens the evil forces inside of it. So I believe that Danny being there has made it stronger and that is why Wendy starts to see them.
So good!!!!!
