C'moooooon....H20 is great if you like that 90's teen post-modern horror kinda thing. It stuck to the formula perfectly...even had the "Big Name Star" death in the first 15 minutes. though Im not sure Joseph Gordon-Levitt qualifies as a Big Name anymore....though he was in 98'.
Has anyone seen the rare-bootleg "Directors Cut" of Halloween 6? its a completely different movie..makes abit more sense even

My favorite is Halloween 4
Matt, my favorites are 4, 5 & 6. Despite any cheesiness, these are the most fun and creepiest IMO. I can't stress how much I LOVE these films.
H2O didn't really do it for me and the last one was crap. No way Busta Rhymes should be talking smack to Michael Myers...they should have had him get decapitated or something awful.

The late 90's post-modern bit was cool in Scream I thought, but damn that got really tired after awhile. I don't even mind "I know what you did last summer" or "Urban Legend", but I'm glad that formula is done with for the time being.
Directors Cut for Halloween 6? What in the name of all that's gory...? I have *got* to find this! Tell me more!

"The more Christopher Lee (now my favorite Dracula of all time) the better."
I have all of these on tape. Love some of 'em, enjoy others despite themselves (heehee). One unfortunate problem there seems to have been at Hammer was, they had several well-written vampire films, but most of Chris Lee's Dracula films are not among them. It makes me think they had a budget for a good script-- OR Chris Lee-- but not both!
When I saw Lee's cameo in SLEEPY HOLLOW, it made me dearly WISH he could be in a Dracula movie with that level of production, and that intelligent of a script! (My favorite recent STAR WARS moment was in Episode 2, where you got to see the sword-fight-- between "Miss Piggy" and "Count Dracula"!)

I'm a little partial to the original Halloween movie. It was the first horror movie I ever watched. I was 12 to 14 years old, at home, alone, on Halloween night (my step mother wouldn't let us kids go trick or treating... something about not recognizing the devil's holiday, I think my sisters snuck out anyway which is why I was home alone).
I watched that movie by myself and it scared the crap out of me. After the movie, but before I went upstairs to bed... I had to check the patio door to make sure it was locked. Pulling the drapes back was probably the bravest thing I've ever done in my life. Some twenty years later, I look back on the viewing experience for the great atmosphere that it was (If only I had grown up in Haddonfield, Illinois instead of Fort Wayne, Indiana), but I was scared to death when I watched it as a kid. No movie compares to how scary that movie in that setting was... no movie. Although Showgirls is pretty scary too.

I got a very very dodgy copy from some rogue trader at a convention in San Francisco back in '99...Im sure you can find it if you look....probably next to the original-lets only make it to reatain the rights-Roger Corman "Fantastic Four" movie (on DVD in December? ), "Legends of the Superheroes" and "Return to Riverdale". (I passed on "Return to Riverdale" but damn if "Legends.... isnt sweet as'. Expecially drunk.)

Unfortunately the recent bombings in Amman has taken the life of the executive producer of the Halloween films as well as that of his daughter. Moustapha Akkad, who financed the original Halloween and produced all the other films, died of injuries he sustained when a bomb went off in the lobby of the Grand Hyatt. His daughter was killed in the blast and Akkad was critically injured. I understand that a heart attack resulted in him not making it.

Oh My God. I didn't hear about this. I remember wondering who he was for years as a kid, believing him to be some sinister guy who created these scary movies. I later saw tons of interviews with him and he was such a cool guy, who promised to keep making Halloween movies for the die-hard fans if we kept watching them. As a producer, one can't argue that he went his own way and did his own thing, which I feel is the most important characterisic for anyone producing any form of art. I can't believe he died in the bombings. He'll be missed.
RIP.
