It's that time again for your inner gobblin to emerge and gather your minions for an evening of frightening family fun.

Zombies have taken over Hollywood

During my late night web surfing I came upon a website that tells you the movies that will be coming out in 2012-2013 and can I say WTF!!!! It has now become official Zombies have taken over Hollywood and they have sucked the original thoughts and creativity out of all the writers brains. The line up of movies to be released are just to name a few.....
-Dredd 9/21/2012 aka Judge Dredd which originally came out in 1995 with Sylvester Stallone which I actually liked but still its only 17 years old.
-Leather Face 3D 10/5/2012 Do I even need to say do we need another one.....
-Halloween 3 10/26/2012 originally came out in 1982 but there have been so many new "remakes" I don't need anymore.
-Red Dawn 11/2/2012 originally came out in 1984 and had a great cast (Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen) it was a good movie no need to make it again.
-Total Recall 2013 originally came out in 1990 was a great movie the only thing I can say with this one is they want to use the new graphics hopefully they don't mess it up because the original was really good and I'm not so sure Colin Farrel can replace Arnold in acting we shall see.
So then they re release this crap and make us pay more money to see movies we have already seen. What are they thinking and don't tell me they are trying to capture a new audience and bring it to the younger generation because that's bullsh@*! I'm only 31 and they're remaking movies that came out less then 20 years ago. I can almost guarantee the "younger audience" has seen the original and if they haven't there going to go tell there mom about the new movie coming out and she's gonna say that came out already let's go rent it. It's just redundant B/S that needs to stop, How about remaking movies that aren't well known or haven't been seen by mass audiences for example.....
-1970 Airport
-1981 the Funhouse
-1994 Evolver
or take another book and make it into a movie there are ones I have read and would like to see made into a movie like
The Vampire Academy series
Ava Delaney Series
And I swear to god if you remake The Crow,Rocky Horror Picture Show or Dirty Dancing you should all be fired.That is blasphemy on the highest scale I don't see you remaking Gone with the Wind. I consider those movies classics do not touch them. Also do we need to re release everything in 3D? I mean good god if it wasn't filmed in 3D in the first place it doesn't look 3D when you add the glasses.It's just another way to show you can't come up with a new idea. But you need to make money so let's just re release something in 3D. The sad part is we as movie goers are eating it up and are spending 12.00 a ticket too see an older movie in 3D. But don't be surprised when you come out disappointed you should have known better.

Thank You until next time Good Day.

Ode to Halloween Horror

Well as Halloween approaches I find myself craving the great Halloween horror movies more then I usually do but as I look on the T.V. I see that none of the channels that I pay extra for are playing any horror movies which makes me wonder if i'm the only one that thinks that for the whole month of October they should be playing nothing but Halloween themed movies I mean call me silly but I thought that would be a no brainer they do it at Christmas. So it got me thinking if I had to choose my favorite horror movies what would they be so I sat and thought about it and here is my top 20 favorite horror movies in no particular order.

1. 1975 Jaws:
The music and the half underwater half above water views scared the crap out of me. I still don't go in the ocean

2. 1984 A nightmare on elm st

. I find Freddy truly frightening and i loved that it was different from all the other slasher movies at the time he gets you in your sleep that genius you have to sleep .

3. 1980 The Shinning:

just a classic you can't go wrong with a psychological thriller. you watch him slowly go crazy.

4. 2003 Darkness Falls :

OK i know a lot of you are gonna say WTF but this movie scared the crap out of me so bad i slept with the lights on for 2 weeks. And yes i know it's about the tooth fairy but hey I'm afraid of the dark lol.

5. 1987 Hellraiser:

OK truly the goriest movie i ever seen and just creepy gross. The teeth chattering guy was so scary i had to hide under the covers when he came on.

6. 1973 The Exorcist:

OK back when this was made it was really scary i don't find it that scary but it is the best possession movie i have ever seen there just hasn't been anything this well done since.
