and long overlooked for this.
"Arise, Sir Dracula!"
EdiT: Totally agree with him about modern horror movies nothing is left to the imagination now and therefore leaves the viewer detatched from the movie.

I feel old these days, as I often don't have the stomach for the really gratuitous stuff. - Blood and gore is best left to the imagination
/this being said, I did rather enjoy the 'reimagining' of Halloween a couple of years back, even though I went into it wanting to hate it for spitting on the memory of my fave horror film of all time.

but that's because he hasn't gone full gore and stays somehwat truer to the original. I'd really like to see the sequal but we don't go to the movies due to James being a smoker - so will wait for the DVD.

not overly keen on seeing horror films at the cinema anyway ,as it tends to be filled
with far too many kids pratting about or texting.
Looking forward to the sequel as well, looks like it's following a similar storyline to the first sequel, following straight on from the first film, so could be good.
Speaking of horror 'reimaginings' steer WELL clear of the recent Friday 13th remake - absolutely dreadful. Still undecided by the trailer for the new nightmare of elm street series as well..

that Michael Myers is somehow possessed and supernatural yet doesn't go down the road of playing too heavy on that else it becomes too abstract and not social-real enough if you understand what I mean.
Edit: Yes I would imagine anything to do with Friday the 13th after that damn shit awful Sci-Fi one (was it Jason X?)in the series would be a pile of rotting crap!

I think I preferred Myers over any other 'horror killer' as there was nothing about him consistent, no real 'signature' - which made it far more creepy.

was that Micheal Myers was evil to start with and there was no explanation why, and he was human and not some zombie/reincarnate so therefore you had the feeling that perhaps out in the real world there was a real Michael Myers and that really made it scary. Friday the 13th was just nonsense, the killer in the first movie was his Mum you only see Jason right at the end - damn stupid if you ask me.

I STILL can't listen to THAT theme without getting goosebumps, and I've seen the film countless times now

I love getting some snacks in, some booze turning all the lights off and having a scarefest - this is my kind of fun!
What I also like to watch this time of year is The Thing - Halloween and The Thing would be my kind of night.

what's scarier is the treatment/premise for a prequel to The Thing (from Wiki):
"In early 2009, Variety and Bloody-Disgusting reported the launch of a project to film a prequel—possibly following MacReady's brother during the events leading up to the opening moments of the 1982 film— with Matthijs van Heijningen as director and Ronald D. Moore as writer. In March 2009, Moore described his script as a "companion piece" to Carpenter's film and "not a remake." "We're telling the story of the Norwegian camp that found the Thing before the Kurt Russell group did," he said."
"MacReady's brother"?!?!?
