Perched for Paris's haunting performance.

[Cal.]

Why is there way more slashers than like supernatural

Because slashers are way better.

[Daniel.]

Best actress of all time :love: :love: :love:

[Daniel-X]

That list is great. A lot I haven't seen so I can't wait :love:

[Daniel.]

Because slashers are way better.

Depends, there all very similar :/

[Cal.]

Is everyone okay with the 3 Final Destination's being on there?

[Daniel.]

Yeah but the third is the best one.

[jackc1806]

jackc1806 to sue?

http://i.imgur.com/z6JjyZv.gif

[Daniel.]

[2]

Replace ha with Sinister!

[Cal.]

No it's my personal pick and a guilty pleasure.

[Xtopher]

I'll take part. I've already seen every film on the list anyways.

[Lostie!]

Yeah but the third is the best one.

I think the second is the best.

I haven't seen 4 or 5 yet.

[LukeB]

I'm in

[Daniel.]

Most are your personal picks

Whose idea was it?http://i.imgur.com/bvJsLsY.png

[Daniel.]

Mine x

[Daniel-X]

Final destination 1 is a flop thinking about it tbh but 2 and 3 are fab

[LukeB]

The Descent is good
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51478F2H8EL.jpg

[Xtopher]

2 is my favorite from the series. so underrated imo.

[Xtopher]

The Descent is good
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51478F2H8EL.jpg

Saw it in the cinemas, when the first creature came out my cousin jumped up and slapped me. Then was hiding behind her jacket for the rest. :laugh:

:joker:

I was like 12 when i first saw this and i couldn't sleep haha

[Tom4784]

I'll take part, I think it would be better if there was less slashers and a wider variety of horror films though tbh.

[Cal.]

Added, and I've gotten rid of some of my picks (Cherry Falls, Soriority Row) and replaced them with the requested The Descent and Sinister :)

Also replaced You're Next with The Amityville Horror (another ghost film - sorry to who suggested it)

[Cal.]

I'm hoping there's more of a variety now. Some (The Strangers, When A Stranger Calls) are more thriller than slasher. Final Destination 1-3 are more gory, and The Grudge, Sinister, The Amityville Horror are more supernatural.

[Dollface]

ME ME ME

but i've seen pretty much every film on the list :laugh:

[Dollface]

btw i'm so happy the strangers is on that list, that movie inspired my username :D

[Cal.]

ME ME ME

but i've seen pretty much every film on the list :laugh:

Do you have any films to suggest you like/wish to see? Preferably not slasher? I'll replace some of my picks with it x

[Lostie!]

YES YES YES!!!!!

How amazing, add me to the this please! This reminds me of BBC2's fright night they used to do

:worship:

[Benjamin]

Oh if there is a day free may I suggest Cube?

[Cal.]

Added and yeah I'll add it in and replace it with Freddy vs. Jason since no one was here for that.

[Dollface]

Do you have any films to suggest you like/wish to see? Preferably not slasher? I'll replace some of my picks with it x

like a ghost film?
i wouldn't mind watching Annabelle, The Conjuring or Haunting in Connecticut again :)

i would like to suggest Martyrs (if foreign films are allowed)

[Benjamin]

Added and yeah I'll add it in and replace it with Freddy vs. Jason since no one was here for that.

Oh I changed to Cube, but if we can have both>


Also Misery is a MUST for this.

[Daniel.]

The Conjuring! YASSS

[Benjamin]

OMG and IT!

My mind has just imploded at this thread

[Daniel.]

Bye we are not watching IT.

[Dollface]

OH and the ring

[Daniel.]

Shut up Ben the list is done now

[Cal.]

I've removed FD1 and FD2 because people were only here for 3 and I guess people want to suggest more films and there's no need for us to sit through 3 of them when they're not really horror anyway.

Since hardly anyone was here for Child's Play either should Ii remove this?

I'm gonna add The Conjouring and Dollface's other suggestion as well as Wolf Creek.

[Daniel.]

Iconic list

What about TXM?

[Benjamin]

I've removed FD1 and FD2 because people were only here for 3 and I guess people want to suggest more films and there's no need for us to sit through 3 of them when they're not really horror anyway.

Since hardly anyone was here for Child's Play either should Ii remove this?

I'm gonna add The Conjouring and Dollface's other suggestion as well as Wolf Creek.

Meh Childs play is **** tbf but can we add REC? That is amazing

[Benjamin]

Yes Misery in that list :worship:

[Dollface]

we need a zombie film on that list !!!

[Dollface]

hands up for dawn of the dead

[Benjamin]

Wait we have nothing for the 31st which is Halloween? :joker:

[Lostie!]

I've removed FD1 and FD2 because people were only here for 3

Oh, I think the first two are miles better (and only one person said 3 is the best from what I remember). :joker:

Doesn't matter though, I'll go with whatever others want. I can still watch the other films in my own time. :laugh:

[Cal.]

I thought people would be busy that day which is why we have the double feature of H1 and H2 (originals) on 30th.

[Benjamin]

That list though :worship:

[Dollface]

can't it be the Black Christmas remake instead of the original? :(

[Cal.]

can't it be the Black Christmas remake instead of the original? :(

NO.http://i.imgur.com/z6JjyZv.gif

The original is much more than a slasher it's chilling, the remake is just mindless death.

[Benjamin]

Are we seeing if we can atch in Plug? or just discuss in here and have a start time and a discussion thread?

[Dollface]

NO.

BUT THE REMAKE IS BETTER :bawling:

[Cal.]

I'm thinking we could implement a chat aspect whilst watching but people may be busy each night so might not be able to make it (idk)?

The rule was just gonna be that you had to watch the film and post a review within 24 hours (when the next film was posted) but a chat aspect could be cool if people are interested enough.

[Daniel.]

I'm happy with that list.

[Dollface]

im glad texas chainsaw is on there

[Dollface]

oh god not the blair lame project

[Cal.]

BUT THE REMAKE IS BETTER :bawling:

Sis omg no

[Dollface]

im sorry im a horror movie snob

[Benjamin]

Honestly that list (I'd replace Blair with REC) :clap1:

[Daniel.]

I think we should watch it then write the review and rate it. Then see what films got the highest score at the end?

[Daniel.]

Can we like cement that list?

It has a good variety.

[Cal.]

I think we should watch it then write the review and rate it. Then see what films got the highest score at the end?

Yeah I was considering a rating out of 10 aspect and then during the early evening on Halloween doing a rankdown of the films we watched based on all the scores of each film .

[Dollface]

Honestly that list (I'd replace Blair with REC) :clap1:

i'd replace it with dawn of the dead

[Benjamin]

Can we like cement that list?

It has a good variety.

I'm all for that, apart from Blair, it is awful. Dollface back me up that REC should replace that.

[Lostie!]

I also like the idea of keeping Halloween free because I might actually be doing something this year (for the first time in ages :laugh:).

[Dollface]

tbh anything should replace it but ok go for rec

[Cal.]

Okay since Tom who suggested Blair already has lots of suggestions on the list I'll remove it and replace it with a zombie film but you'll have to decide whether it's gonna be replaced with REC or Dawn of the Dead (original or remake?)

[Dollface]

REMAKE :wink:

[Benjamin]

Okay since Tom who suggested Blair already has lots of suggestions on the list I'll remove it and replace it with a zombie film but you'll have to decide whether it's gonna be replaced with REC or Dawn of the Dead (original or remake?)

Replace it with dawn and then put REC for the 31st for those that are not out. ;)

[Dollface]

lets have a vote ok, say worm if you want dawn of the dead, or say slug if you want REC

[Cal.]

I added REC to the 31st if people aren't busy and wish to watch it, and then replaced Blair with Dawn.

[Cal.]

Is everyone also okay with the double feature of H1 and H2 on 30th October - they follow each other and for most it'll be the climax of the countdown.

[Benjamin]

Yep, the best Halloween film tbf and only right

[Tom4784]

That's a much better list although I'd swap out two of the Final Destination films for something else. Once you've seen one of those films you've seen them all.

[Cal.]

They've already been swapped out. :)

[Tom4784]

They've already been swapped out. :)

:clap1:

[Ammi]

[Benjamin]

:clap1:

[Lostie!]

I'm so excited for this. :flutter:

Every year I want to have a horror movie marathon for Halloween but I never do, now I have an excuse. :love:

[Cal.]

I'm excited also<3

[T*]

That's a much better list although I'd swap out two of the Final Destination films for something else. Once you've seen one of those films you've seen them all.

:sad:

[Benjamin]

FD 2 is the best if not for the opening scene alone

[Lostie!]

FD 2 is the best if not for the opening scene alone

FD2 is my favourite definitely. I love how it ties everything back to FD1. FD3 is a perfectly enjoyable standalone movie though, but the first two are my favourites (haven't seen 4 and 5 yet).

[LukeB]

I love all FDs tbh

[Dollface]

FD 2 is the best if not for the opening scene alone

I agree about the opening scene, it's pretty great

[Dollface]

I love all FDs tbh

I love FD 2, 3 and 5 (wasn't keen on 4, and number 1 wasn't too great)

[Cal.]

I think 3 is the best, if not for the rollercoaster and then the tanning scenes<3

[Tom4784]

They all blend together for me into a giant ball of meh.

[Will.]

I'll do it! Can't wait!

So exciting! :love:

[Jason.]

Wow, this sounds really cool!

If it's not too late, can I take part? That's quite a line up of films :lovedup:

[Fat.Rat]

Me too! Love Halloween il join! Xx

[Dollface]

I think 3 is the best, if not for the rollercoaster and then the tanning scenes<3

Same :amazed: i remember once i was in a chatroom and people started talking about FD and i was like "oh i love number 3 the most" and they was like "lol well clearly you're not a good judge of films then because 3 is the worst. please don't call yourself a FD fan because you aren't one if you think that trash is better than 1 and 2" i was like oh

[Will.]

FD5 is really good.

4 wasn't that great.

1-3 were great.

[Dollface]

speaking of halloween, the other day i went shopping and the halloween sections in the shops were literally making me cry with joy *wipes tear* i ended up buying loads of decor for my room (yes i decorate my room with halloween stuff all year round) :flutter: it was like heaven

[Daniel-X]

Yeah FD2 is 100% best. Shame the loved ones didn't make the list it's a fantatsic film which most haven't seen and a 98% review on rotten tomatoes seems to agree

[Will.]

speaking of halloween, the other day i went shopping and the halloween sections in the shops were literally making me cry with joy *wipes tear* i ended up buying loads of decor for my room (yes i decorate my room with halloween stuff all year round) :flutter: it was like heaven

sounds fun, I think we put some decorations up in the house lol! I love making pumpkins.

We use to go to this farm, just outside of London and they had a huge Pumpkin field!!!

Halloween is so fun!

[Cal.]

All added :)

[Daniel-X]

Can we replace black Christmas with the loved ones or you're next please Cal :worry: It's just I think it's a bit crappy and I haven't seen anyone really mention it and if we do a Christmas countdown film fest maybe we could do it then?

[Will.]

All added :)

Can't wait for the 1st October now :laugh:

[Ammi]

...just to get into the spirit (no pun intended..)..I'll watch some other ones that I find ok...maybe The Fog, The Shining, Rosemary's Baby..American Werewolf in London is a good one so I'll try to watch these...

[Lostie!]

Anyone who hasn't seen Trick 'r Treat needs to watch it near Halloween! I don't mean as part of this (because I forgot to suggest it :fist: :laugh:), but people should definitely find time to watch it over the Halloween period.

I wouldn't personally call it scary, more entertaining (and VERY atmospheric for getting in the Halloween mood). :hee:

[Amy Jade]

[Cal.]

A few more days to go!

[LukeB]

Thursday :love:

are we all watching it at the same time or can we watch it whenever? Scream is on Netflix(USA one) idk about the uk one as i hardly use that now

[Cal.]

We don't have to watch it at the same time as long as the film is watched and reviews are posted before 8pm the following night. :)

[LukeB]

Plug dying when we could have watched some films together on that :fist:

[Jason.]

We don't have to watch it at the same time as long as the film is watched and reviews are posted before 8pm the following night. :)

Oh that's fine then. Cause I watched Scream 1 and 2 on the weekend so I'll just review them on the days they're due instead of watching them again. And I plan to watch Scream 3 and 4 this upcoming weekend too.

But looking forwards to this.

[LukeB]

Can I do the Christmas version of this or are you doing it? idm

[Cal.]

You do it chick x

[Jøsh]

Call it Christmas Film Countdown to avoid confusion.

[Daniel-X]

Call it Christmas Film Countdown to avoid confusion.

He won't launch it until Novemeber I'm guessing and even then I doubt he wouldn't name it Christmas film countdown to avoid confusion

[Cal.]

WHY ARE WE DISCUSSING IT WHEN THIS BEGINS ON THURSDAY

/teehee

[LukeB]

Marsh said he would like to do this too

[Tom4784]

I just remembered this started today.

[Benjamin]

Woop, have my snacks ready for this later :dazzler:

[Tom4784]

I don't think you could do a whole month of Christmas films as most of them are ****ing awful.

If a Christmas version happens then it should be over a week or two max.

[Benjamin]

I don't think you could do a whole month of Christmas films as most of them are ****ing awful.

Scream (1996)

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5127F505WAL.jpg

It needs to be said, Scream is an iconic film; a fresh take on the slasher genre that crossed over into the mainstream. This blend of tongue-in-cheek 4th wall breaking in a horror hasn't been done this successfully before or since, but this film spawned imitations and even a BLOODY PARODY FILM FRANCHISE (Scary Movie) - Y'all better love Brenda btw

The plot of this film is like your ordinary slasher film. Nothing too different. Mysterious murders happen one year after the death of Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell's) mother. The masked killer begins to stalk and pick off Sidney and her friends one by one. It culminates in a slasher house party. What sets this film apart from all the other slasher films is the cast. If you're a fan of slashers like I am, you'd probably know the cast in these type of films are low-budget, unknown z-list actors. Well, I think it's safe to say this cast was pretty stellar for a slasher film in 1996. You had Drew Barrymore - who rose to fame after her role in ET, 14 years earlier. Monica (Gale Weathers) yes, I just called her Monica, nuff said. Neve Campbell, David Arquette, and Skeet Ulrich, as well Rose McGowan :love: (not you Scott).

Thoughts on the film:
The cold opening with Drew Barrymore getting a call from ghostface/being murdered is one of the most memorable scenes in film. It’s great. I love how it turns from flirting, to creepy, to psychopathic rage.

Courtney Cox actually playing a bitch when we're so used to her as Monica in Friends <3

The janitor’s wearing an inexplicable Freddy costume. They’re actually the clothes from the movie. Nice cameo, Wes Craven.

A strong gimmick of the film is several characters’ knowledge of films and the horror genre, making analyses and references to many films along the way. It’s great on two levels.

The Killer isn’t physically strong and a bit clumsy (used for comic effect too) like running into an open fridge door and being afraid of thrown beer bottles. It also adds a dynamic of putting the ‘prey’ on an equal footing, apart from the knife, of course.

The last 40 minutes pretty much being a stalk and slash house party is brilliant.

Overall, it's a brilliant film and by far one of my favourite slasher films.

9/10

R.I.P. Wes Craven.

[Daniel-X]

Just finished, will post write up either later on tonight or tomorrow depending on whether or not I get tired soon

[Jason.]

Yeah lol sorry about my messy review. Will do a better one next time. I was rushing.

[Daniel-X]

Night one - Scream (1996)

http://images.complex.com/complex/image/upload/t_article_image/x8fwodcbsk8fums4jv4x.jpg

I've watched scream twice before but it must have been a good three/four years since I last saw the original so I was quite hyped for watching this.

The part what always sticks in my head and I'm guessing most other people's is the iconic opening scene with Drew Barrymore. This is possibly my favourite opening to any horror movie what I've seen and it always sticks in my head. The suspense built throughout the whole scene kept me gripped even though I knew what was going to happen so I guess I have to congratulate Craven on creating such a tense and exciting opening ambience for the viewer. It builds up in a matter of moments from being a chatty sort of flirtatious call to one of sinister and I think that's what really makes it brilliant.

What I really like about the film also is that is has quite a jovial tone behind it and there are some really hilarious moments e.g. Tatum's 'Ooooh what's this movie called I spit on your garage?' and Stu at the end 'My parents are going to be so mad at me' but also still has quite a dark feel to it and is still keeping the whole horror theme in tact and doesn't go too silly to the point where it becomes a bit of a joke and unrealistic. Randy's in depth knowledge and passion about horror movies also makes the movie hilarious and is a good way to break the fourth wall without purposely doing so and it making it blatantly obvious.

Sydney by far is my favourite horror movie protagonist. I usually find horror movie protagonists somewhat annoying but I love Sydney because she's so just so smart and is nobody's fool.

The twist at the end also with Billy being the killer is really great because it looks a little too obvious that it is Billy it becomes actually rather shocking when he is the killer as he almost becomes a complete non suspect for me in a way. I like the twist also regarding him being the murderer behind Sydney's mother so it all ties in really well together. Stu also being there for no real reason also adds to the comedy element like he says 'I was peer pressured' and it appears this way for sure :laugh2:

The acting and casting I think also for all the characters were spot on. Rose McGowan is perfect for the role of Tatum a loyal best friend with a sassy and fierce side which gets the better of her (oh and also her death in the cat trap is iconic and one of my favourite horror movie deaths). Courtney Cox as Gale Weathers who at first plays a villainous and antagonistic role but becomes the hero in the end and I really think Courtney played both sides of Gale perfectly. Not too mention Skeet Ulrich who plays an amazing psychopathic villain and even his facial gestures and body language make you genuinely believe that he is psychopathic.

My only very small criticism is that the chase scenes between Sydney and ghost face do become a little repetitive.

Overall - 10/10

A really enjoyable movie with a great twist and plot behind it! Definitely one of the best horror movie franchises

[Daniel.]

king blly is in it so 10/10

[Daniel-X]

Tbh I think scream may be favourite horror film after this (or one of them) I didn't really give it as much appreciation as it deserved before I watched it tonight

[Jason.]

Scream's in my Top 5.

<3

[Xtopher]

I'll try to write mine tonight.

[Daniel-X]

Yeah it's in my top five probably. I've seen Scream 4 which I didn't really like and I think I may have watched 2 but can't really remember much of it tbh if I have watched it.

[Jason.]

I re-watched 2 last week. I really enjoyed it, and I wasn't a big fan of it at first, but I like it now.

[Daniel.]

Billy was innocent

[Will.]

I love the killers in Scream 2

[Jason.]

Same.

Mrs L is brilliant. She's so hilarious.

[Will.]

Same.

Mrs L is brilliant. She's so hilarious.

Mrs Loomis :love:

[Daniel-X]

I think I'll have to watch Friday the 13th on Saturday along with House of wax as I'm out till twelve tomorrow. I might not be tired when I get back tho so I might watch it

[Jason.]

Live that party life ^

[Daniel-X]

Welp I asked my mum would she buy me drink and she said only either a big bottle of Smirnoff Ice or Carribean twist </3 I thought now I was year eleven she might let me drink a bit more but I'm still only allowed bloody alcopops </3

I asked for a crate of strongbow dark fruit but she said no </3

[Jason.]

Lol whenever you mention your mum, I think about expired Sunpat :laugh:

[Will.]

I'm happy with a J20

[Daniel-X]

Lol whenever you mention your mum, I think about expired Sunpat :laugh:

Lmao lit screaming :laugh2:

At least she hadn't bought an expensive jar of skippy from Costco otherwise she would lit scream

[Jason.]

Lmao lit screaming :laugh2:

:joker:

TBF to your mum, I don't think eating one month expired peanut butter would kill you. If it's more than 3 months then I'd be worried. But I was cackling @ when you mentioned prison sentences and killing the homeless people :laugh:

[Daniel-X]

I had an image of Phoebe McQueen when she was going through her homeless era keeled over dead in a street.

[Dollface]

Dollface's review of SCREAM

Slashers aren't really my favourite type of horrors, but Scream is one of the best (if not THE best) slasher film i've ever seen over the years. There's something really fun about the movie.
The opening is especially great, when Drew Barrymore (:love:) is being quizzed by the mystery killer on the phone. Straight away there's a creepy vibe, especially if you put yourself in her shoes, being home alone and having some weirdo call you on the phone asking about your favourite scary movie :worry:

All of the actors and actresses are convincing and give great performances. The characters were all interesting - Especially Billy (:flutter:) who despite being a psychopath is totally gorgeous and someone I ended up rooting for.

It's not perfect, it could have been better (creepier :fist:) but since it's a teen movie I wasn't expecting proper scares anyway :laugh:

The storyline is really intriguing. I love mysteries and Scream is a bloody good mystery the first time you watch it. I was happy with the killer reveal :thumbs:

So overall I think Scream is a really good film and worthy of a ... 8/10

[Dollface]

I'm excited for Urban Legend :love: haven't seen that in years

[Daniel-X]

I'm most looking forward to prom night tbh never seen the original before only the remake oh and house of wax because I've never seen it

[Will.]

Scream review

The film is a master of creating suspense and tense scenes. The characters are brilliant, especially Sidney.

The whole plot is intriguing and engages the viewer, it really captivates you.

The opening scene is iconic and really emphasises what a serial killer can do, it is also incredibly sad which a lot of slasher movies fail to do.

The killers identity is good, they were chosen wisely and they make great killers, realistic as well.

It can be a little dull in parts but the suspense and drama is never long away.

It would have be interesting to have a female killer but then it's the 90s, Gale is brilliant in the film, a great character.

The length of the film is perfect, it really is an iconic horror film, a true heritage to horror culture.

[Jason.]

Prom night is brilliant. It has what I consider to be one of the best ever chase scenes. It's like 9 minutes long.

[Dollface]

House of Wax is so good <3

[Daniel-X]

Prom night is brilliant. It has what I consider to be one of the best ever chase scenes. It's like 9 minutes long.

I shall be perched

[Dollface]

I'm excited for Prom Night too, I haven't seen the original either

[Will.]

I've not seen Prom Night

[Daniel-X]

I wish we were watching the original when a stranger calls because I HATE the remake and I watched it not that long ago so I may not watch it.

I really wish the hand that rocks the cradle was on this list its one of my favourite horror movies

[Jason.]

oPq9sgKDE8w

[Daniel-X]

Yeah it seems reviewers agree with me on the when a stranger calls remake tbh

[Dollface]

There's a couple on the list that I might miss out (:worry:)

[Jason.]

I like the When A Stranger Calls remake. It's actually one of the better modern horror films imo. I need to watch it again though, as I haven't seen it in years.

[Jason.]

Same Bex.

I'm not going to watch Black Christmas. That's one I like to save for Christmas season, so I don't want to ruin it by watching it two months earlier.

[Daniel-X]

I think I'll watch them all just for the fun of it tbh and most are actually quite decent films tbh. I won't be watching when a stranger calls though because I can't out myself through that again it's that boring and painful.

The hand that rocks the cradle >>>>>>>

The hand that rocks the cradle should replace it tbh

[Will.]

I might watch the original Stranger Calls instead of remake as haven't seen it.

[Jason.]

I love the trailer for the original

PVAx84hpo-c

[Daniel-X]

I have decided I may watch the hand that rocks the cradle on the night when we're meant to be watching when a stranger calls. You never know Cal may change for us the schedule hopefully :fc:

[Will.]

looks good

[Marsh.]

I want Billy to stab me in the bum.

[Lostie!]

:joker:

[armand.kay]

watching it now (emo)

Scream (1996) - Night One
http://movieboozer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/scream-poster.jpg

Rating - 9/10

This film is one of my favourite slasher movies, The opening scene was great where we saw Casey get murdered which we didn't see the killer stab her fully. I do think they should have been a few more murders because it was like 45 minutes after Casey's murder or less until we saw another murder. When i first saw this I thought it was Billy but also felt Stu was involved because he's Billy's puppet, It was a great idea to make 2 people as killers instead of one. Sydney is an amazing character too! Dewey and Gail are the cutest couple I've ever seen on a movie.. they had that spark and suit each other...

[Daniel-X]

I find it SOOOO cute also that David and Courtney were married in real life also

Shame they aren't anymore </3

Brenda shade

FUN FACT: Scream was originally supposed to be called Scary Movie, can you imagine?

[Lostie!]

I'm watching it right now btw. :)

[Jason.]

I'm watching Scream 3 tonight. Looking forwards to it, cause despite how inferior it is to the first two films, I do still quite enjoy watching it and it has some enjoyable moments, especially that massive chase scene in the mansion.

[Tom4784]

Scream

Scream's a beacon of light in the dark drudgery that was the Horror Genre in the 90's. It was a film that made old tropes fresh through satire and was actually very smart which was rare for horrors at the time. It's a well acted and well written film that revitalised the genre. Endlessly fun and it hasn't aged at all.

9/10.

[LukeB]

Brenda shade

FUN FACT: Scream was originally supposed to be called Scary Movie, can you imagine?

Brenda isn't in Scream.. she should have tho and survived every film..

and really D:

I found it amazing the title before we see the first kill was Casey's mother screaming and then we heard it again when she saw her daughter hanging from a tree

[Xtopher]

Scream.

It's cute.

9/10

:facepalm: Neither was "Cindy" (who was Sydney's parody in Scary Movie).

[Daniel-X]

Think you meant either Casey or Sydney Luke :laugh2:

[Xtopher]

I'll actually write one out for Friday the 13th. I felt lazy last night and this morning.

[LukeB]

:facepalm: Neither was "Cindy" (who was Syndey's parody in Scary Movie).

omg... I didn't realise i always spell it like that :worry:

[Tom4784]

My review of Friday the 13th probably won't be favourable, I always disliked that series and I doubt rewatching it tonight will change my thoughts on it.

[Jason.]

Not me and Jason both doing essays and everyone else doing a paragraph

ikr, lazy sods :hmph:

[Jason.]

Just noticed I made a typo on "Syndey's" name. It's actually Sydney. Pronounced Sid-nee

[Daniel-X]

Welp I have two films to watch for tomorrow unless I do a harrowing watch at 4 in the morning like Armand.

This list is really good tbh! Only ones I'll be missing out are sinister (watched it not that long ago), dawn of the dead and when a stranger calls.

[Xtopher]

My review of Friday the 13th won't be favourable, I always disliked that series and I doubt rewatching it tonight will change my thoughts on it.

Oddly, I feel the same way for the Halloween series. There's a couple entries I can watch but the rest is trash.

[Jason.]

The Halloween series is brilliant. My favourite horror series :hmph:

[Daniel-X]

Oh and I won't be watching the hills have eyes because nty

[Jason.]

I have like 5 horror films to watch this weekend. I brought a bunch of Blu-rays I need to watch. I finally have the Hitcher on DVD :amazed:

[Tom4784]

Oddly, I feel the same way for the Halloween series. There's a couple entries I can watch but the rest is trash.

The first one is great, the rest are trash though.
