Definite classic, those transformation effects were groundbreaking at the time [Reply]

Been a while since I've watched that one, but if memory serves I'd have to agree... speaking of great horror movies you nailed another one, The Thing is outstanding
And the reboot actually wasn't half bad either IMO [Reply]

It was actually a prequel. I enjoyed it as well. Wasn't nearly as good as the '82 film, though. [Reply]
The Thing (one of my top 10 favs), Dawn of the Dead/Day of the Dead, Halloween. Thing is, I watched them all when there were no sports so I don't know if I'll watch them this year. [Reply]

Heh. I think that shit would have given me nightmares at 9, but it's a different world now. He probably sees worse shit than that in video games. [Reply]
Every Saturday night during October I stay up as late as I can and watch as many different scary movies as I can. Then wake up and watch NFL all day. One of my favorite months of the year! [Reply]

Great choices!
Pyscho II is a pretty damn good movie too. [Reply]
A few years ago, I finally watched the Exorcist with a friend and his adult son, all the way through.
Having never seen it mostly and the fact it was from 70s, something stood out that was hilarious.
When the mom is in the doctors office..he's sitting there in his office, smoking a cigarette!
As soon as I realized that, I laughed and cheered and fist pumped! Such a 70s moment in film!
And then we saw Young Frankenstein. :-) [Reply]
