A bit of a deliberate change of pace tonight, a little something that suits my mood (In which this dreaded cold was going away and now has come back bigger and badder).
This is a story about ghosts.
Halloween
Night #21: A Nightmare On Elm Street
Being hungover today and slipping in and out of sleep was probably not the best way to watch this. But these are the sacrifices I make in the name of the blog.
Night #15: Friday The 13th: Jason Lives
Our journey, faithful reader, into the saga of one Jason Vorhees, ends here with the sixth installment in the series.
Jason Lives is, for some reason, the entry I’m most familiar with. It seemed like it was always the one that was getting aired on TV and it was the one I was looking most forward to in this re-watch. Gone is the psychological slant of Part II, out the window goes the sexually infused makings of The Final Chapter, instead we have a different beast entirely.
Night #14: Final Destination 5
Ah plans. There’s some saying about plans are the best way to make God laugh. And that’s what happened when I said I was going to view Jason Lives tonight. DVD problems prohibited that and for some reason all the films were taken off Netflix on the 1st October – great timing there.
So instead we’ll take a look at another long running franchise that reduces the slasher formula to it’s most base elements.
Night #11: Friday The 13th Part 3 (Yes Really)
I couldn’t help myself. My thought process was simple enough. I’ve seen the original, then I went and watched Part 2 last night. So what now? Hey I have Part 3 here too. It’s been a while, so why not. Those Friday The 13th films man, they’re just like [Insert drug of choice here].
Night #8: Friday the 13th
When is a classic not a classic? When it’s this film.
Pithy views aside. I watched this film with a certain amount of trepidation, having not seen it in a long time (Perhaps since video) and wondered if it held up at all. Then it dawned on me some part of the way in that in fact I have seen the film since, numerous times in fact. I’d just forgot about it each time.
It’s That Time Of Year Again….
Hello faithful reader, and hello to those unfaithful ones too (You know who you are) life has got in the way of this here little blog and…well I won’t bore you with the excuses and the reasons, but what’s more important is that we’re here now, ready for the best season of the year.
Is This Thing On?
