I love the opening shot where it's a black and white photo of the movie theater and it transitions to present day color.

Prison of the Dead. But I have other three packs. One with Killer Eye and some others.

The Dead Hate the Living! was still enjoyable. It's bad but it knows its bad and has redeeming qualities. I've enjoyed every single movie this challenge and that movie far exceeded expectations. Talk to Me is not far above it. Lol
well update it then. i don't see talk to me included. glad you're enjoying everything though, despite my spitefulness. :P
This is how I intended it to look. I'm updating the table separately and just logging in every movie I see. Substance is in this one twice though since I'm literally logging every movie in order.
that table looked pretty good. basket case and dolls both with top scores will satisfy for now. :P
Basket Case, Salem's Lot and Dolls are the three top movies so far, but I've seen them all already so they don't get a special prize for favorite viewing or anything. :P
new or un-new, a best watch is a best watch! :P

Googling the runtime for IT 1990 and it says 3 hours and 12 minutes but the bluray says 3 hours and 7 minutes. Gotta go with the actual runtime. Wonder why google has it wrong, unless there is some super secret version with an extra scene I'm unaware of.

I am of the opinion that young Eddie looks exactly like a childhood version of Chris Cooper.

"It was decent. I feel like I needed to drop acid to truly appreciate it, though."

Literally the first thing I said after watching Mandy for the first time. lol

The way Georgie's newspaper boat travels along the stream without tipping over or getting soggy always impressed me.
