I like the movie, but I just don't see it as particularly awesome. I actually prefer The Prowler - no idea if that's a hot take or not, and I'm too lazy to compared ratings on IMDb or Letterboxd.

Evil Dead II.

did you say "rise"? bold choice. but i can dig it.

I guess I should throw a list together though. I'll see what I can cobble together before I get back to my other personal projects.

No idea, but I think we can all probably agree that 1981 was the best year for slashers

Also a great year for horror in general.

I'm beginning to think if movies are loved then they probably shouldn't get remade.

i think remakes bring more attention to the earlier film. happy birthday to me needs that.

also, the blob and cat people are loved, and the remakes are better in both cases. i'd add the fly to that too, but i don't think the original is held highly. anymore at all.

Someone needs to start a streaming service and just call it "Better Than All the New Bull Shit" and just air classics. Is Phantasm better than all the new bull shit they show today? (yes), then it's definitely streaming on "Better Than All the New Bull Shit"

I find the OG Fly far better than the 1986 movie. fight me fam.

i don't like the way this conversation is going.... i guess you're really bitter about me pushing for ginger snaps. i get it.

It's actually a frontrunner and will probably pass The Omen (I'm guessing) for the #24 spot, possibly even higher. But I need to rewatch it along with three or more others.

see! the new shit isn't all bad.

I did mention earlier in the month that When Evil Lurks was possibly the best horror movies of the new millennium. After more thinking, it is probably #2 or #3. Ginger Snaps is definitely #1. When Evil Lurks, American Psycho, 30 Days of Night and Cabin Fever are some other quick favorites from just the 2000s that I can think of.

It's 25 years old. That's a quarter of a century.
