Halloween week continues with:
John Carpenter's THE THING (1982)
A true classic of the genre, about scientists in the Antarctic who face off against an alien that can shape-shift and take on the appearance of its victims. Stars Carpenter regular, Kurt Russell in one of his best roles, as a helicopter pilot and reluctant leader. Features groundbreaking effects by Rob Bottin. 9/10

I have all three McFarlane figures of the Thing (two were packaged together). Last night, I watched the old Spawn movie from 1997. Haven't seen it since 1997. Time has not been kind to a lot of those "revolutionary CG effects." Oh does that ever make me feel bad. That movie's old--and that's when I graduated High School. Ugh. |

I have the Blare creature that came packaged with the spider-head thing. ;D The problem with the SPAWN CGI effects is that some of them were not that great to begin with. So, I'm not surprised to hear that they're kind of shakey now. |

Okay, while I'm sucking some major ass in the Guess the Classic scene thread, at least I know this:
Norris Monster came packaged with the head--it stretched from the burning alien. Blair was the gigantic monster at the film's climax with the dog sticking out of it.

You're right, it's Norris, not Blair. Got the names mixed up.

Watched Queen of the Damned (for the millionth time...) yesterday on SciFi. I have a gut instinct as to why you watched it,. So, what did your gut instinct tell you? |

Watched last night: Hellraiser on AMC Edited and with commercials?? YUCK!! I can't stand watching movies, especially R-rated movies, on regular tv. AMC used to be pretty cool, showing unedited old classic movies. Then they started showing modern movies, but with commercial interruptions. TCM (Turner Classic Movies) is also on my basic cable, but they're much better. Not only do they show films unedited and with no commercials, but a lot of times they even show them in widescreen. |

I'm the same way. Can't watch a damn thing on regular TV--the editing for time, content, commercials. That stuff ruins the feel of a movie for me. |

Mini classic "Wait Until Dark" with a blind Audrey Hepburn at the mercy of scheming thieves including a young(ish) Richard Crenna and Alan Arkin(who does a classic psycho turn) with a finale that (even down to some of the piano cues) must have had a bit of influence on "Halloween".

THE EVIL DEAD (1981)
A cabin in the woods, The Book of the Dead and Bruce Campbell? Let the good times roll!
High school play level acting and some unintentional laughs along with Sam Raimi's kinetic camera style and buckets of fake blood and gore, all helped to make this a horror cult classic.
Made Campbell a B-movie god and, eventually, Raimi an A-list director.
7/10

Donnie Darko and The Shining---at our Campus Theater. Haha. They were great.
Donnie Darko's pretty funny.
The Shining still scares the bejesus out of me. Damnned Kubrick.
