marylovesclassics Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Am I the only one who dislikes Halloween and has to tune out of TCM during the month of October with all the campy "scary"movies they run? I will admit this time around, they don't show as many during primetime. For that, I thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamradio Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I like the first John Carpenter's "Halloween" (1978) for its atmosphere and is quite mild for an R rating (I think it be PG-13 today). But the 2007 remake is way too sadistic and bloody. Guy certainly have a hangup about sisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marylovesclassics Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hi there. I should have been more specific..... I dislike the holiday in general. Not necessarily the movie, "HALLOWEEN" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepiatone Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I was just last night watching some reruns of MODERN FAMILY on the NCIS---er, the USA channel. In one episode, Phil and Clare Dunphy were touting their one shared "guilty pleasure", cheezy cinema. "Not the first one" said Clare, "But the follow-ups. Like number three or four" Said Phil, "Or by the 5th sequel when all the cast members are changed. THAT'S when the magic happens." Indeed. HALLOWEEN, FRIDAY THE 13th, NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and many other would have done well to stop after one. Can anyone here imagine THE HAUNTING IV, or HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL XII? Thought not. Probably by not wanting to seem tedious, many broadcast channels who usually try to cater to Halloween "scary" movie lovers, parade a troupe of "low rent" slasher-thrillers to fill in the time and pretend to offer a wider variety.
