I own the first two (the second was horrible, imo) and never bothered with part 3. THE MUTILATOR is playing near me on Halloween night in uncut form. Hopefully I will be able to make that screening.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-80384231422108514322015-09-19T09:48:28.807-07:002015-09-19T09:48:28.807-07:00As the Admin of a slasher dedicated blog, this has...As the Admin of a slasher dedicated blog, this has to be my favorite post from this blog. It justified the pros of these titles very well and though I don't agree with some of your thoughts ( I think H20 is overrated, Sorority Row is pretty awesome and so does the first Hatchet) I am glad to see most of my faves here.Kaijinuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11481843593274086819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-43400380282356946412011-01-08T12:37:54.305-08:002011-01-08T12:37:54.305-08:00@ Carl: THE FUNHOUSE--underused location???

I tried to keep the posters in the realm of the good ones, removing some bad ones and realized HOSPITAL MASSACRE was still on here. It's definitely a bad one, but in a good way.<br /><br />@ Skeme: After I posted it, I went and watched a couple back to back including JUST BEFORE DAWN and the HIS NAME IS JASON two disc documentary.

HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW is criminally underrated, and the remake is an offense to all things Horror. I have been wanting to see FRIGHT for years, but damn man, the price never drops online!!TOWER OF EVIL was a huge surprise, one of my favorite blind buys from last year. I still feel HALLOWEEN 2 is mediocre at best. Even worse is THE FUNHOUSE, which underuses the setting and has a laughable monster. Two words: MADMAN. Awesome. MADMAN remake coming this year!! You know I have a secret love affair with ALONE IN THE DARK. I appreciate aspects of CURTAINS, but it has never won me over. You'll have to use your imagination for the rest lol..I Like Horror Movieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15851268002582984544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-25989164487999977682011-01-07T18:13:50.435-08:002011-01-07T18:13:50.435-08:00Do you know if amazonUK ships to the US?

A list of favourites implies enjoyment. I'd be more than happy to listen to anyone attempt to explain to me how THE NEW YORK RIPPER can be enjoyable or entertaining.

At least one of yours are on my 'Worst' slasher list. I can't wait for RITUALS to finally hit DVD!!!<br /><br />@ Will: I have a lot of affection for FRIDAY 5. I don't think it's as bad as everyone makes it out to be and gets an unjustly bad rap. Agree also about the boobs!<br /><br />@ Doc: HELL NIGHT is one of my all time faves ever since catching it on HBO in '82 or '83. Scared the HELL out of me that NIGHT. VISITING HOURS doesn't get much mention and is a really good thriller. I love that secretary who strips down to nothing in EVILSPEAK, her shower interrupted by the hell sent pigs.<br /><br />@ Shaun: Thanks, Shaun! I first started this several months back, but everybody was doing slasher themed items at the time, so I put it aside. Been working on it a little bit ever since in between other things. FRIGHT and TOWER OF EVIL are two under appreciated little gems, especially the former. I've not seen ASSAULT. Is it on DVD?<br /><br />Yes, that's NEW YORK RIPPER on Lars list. Lars runs MACISTE & FRIENDS, a blog that's a comprehensive catalog of various sword & sandal releases around the world. I assume Fulci saw Lustig's MANIAC and wanted to one up him with his own brutal exercise in misogyny.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-4013935833099762562011-01-07T07:52:03.823-08:002011-01-07T07:52:03.823-08:00Do my eyes deceive me or as one of your other comm...Do my eyes deceive me or as one of your other commenters really listed THE NEW YORK RIPPER as their favourite slasher film?

I'm not a big fan of slasher films, but there were one or two I liked. I enjoyed both THE BURNING and THE PROWLER, and obviously HALLOWEEN is extremely well made. I was far happier to see the obscure British pictures FRIGHT and TOWER OF EVIL mentioned. Another Brit one of note is ASSAULT a 1971 flick starring Suzy Kendall and directed by Sidney Hayers.Shaun Anderson [The Celluloid Highway]https://www.blogger.com/profile/18066744649878418309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-75553724654504866592011-01-07T07:09:25.847-08:002011-01-07T07:09:25.847-08:00As always, a superlative list of superlatives, my ...As always, a superlative list of superlatives, my friend!<br /><br />Loved HELL NIGHT! Still own it on VHS! The only way to see it for my tastes! Makes me feel like I'm at an old assed movie theater with smelly seats, and rancid popcorn! YESSS!<br /><br />Visiting Hours was another kewl little didity too! I remember renting that on laser disc from Erols back in the day. Rented that and this movie about a demonically possesed computer called, um--EVILSPEAK! Oh, I'll never forget the wild boar scene in that one!<br /><br />Speaking of MADMAN, have you ever seen the charmin' film I, MADMAN starring the comely Jenny Wright?!

I tend to favor Slasher movies over other Horror genres so I enjoyed this a lot. I feel like most of the superlatives in the genre blur the lines of good and bad film making. Friday The 13th Part V--A New Beginning is my favorite example of a movie so slapped together it merits some real meditation. ( Also it has some great boobs in it!)<br /><br /> There are a few on this article that I have not seen, so that really helps.
