It was a perfect storm for me. The Halloween movies are my favorites of the "classic slasher films" especially 1 & 2...I liked 4 & 5 as well, but after that, I could take them or leave them. Since that era of horror movies, no one else has really done it for me until Rob Zombie came around as a director with House of 1000 Corpses and The Devils Rejects. Like you, me and Megan LOVE those movies. So when I heard that he was doing Halloween, I knew I'd love it...and I did :) <BR/><BR/>Glad to have you back :)chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-73426445717924485232007-09-03T16:46:00.000-06:002007-09-03T16:46:00.000-06:00I've only had that happen once, when we moved and ...I've only had that happen once, when we moved and couldn't get our cable modem for a week.

Yes, Rob Zombie does a great job when he loves something....and horror movies are a big love of his! It's still a slasher movie...just a slicker, cooler slasher movie, with a plot! <BR/><BR/>Melody - Thanks! After perusing your blog, I'm definitely adding you to my roll too! I love the Japanese horror movies, although when they are remade in the US, they never seem as good. Except for The Ring, which I thought was really good!!<BR/><BR/>Gentle Reader - Thanks!! I know what you mean about technology!! You should have seen me on the phone for HOURS with tech support trying to get the issue resolved! <BR/><BR/>Marg - That is probably the best quote EVER!!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055676171075203563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-15898341109041042982007-09-03T07:59:00.000-06:002007-09-03T07:59:00.000-06:00and you didn't get nightmares from house of a 1000...and you didn't get nightmares from house of a 1000 corpses...!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-91288825519219077082007-09-03T06:43:00.000-06:002007-09-03T06:43:00.000-06:00well i do read more when my computer is down for a...well i do read more when my computer is down for any reason.. more tv too.. and yes more cleaning... but none of it is without my stomach churning and not sleeping well because my computer is down!

This way I can connect via wifi if for whatever reason I can't connect at home. I hate being cut off (and maybe that's one of the reasons that M.T.

I loved his remake of the song 'Brick House', even though I'm not usually a fan of his music. He just really got it right, ya know?<BR/><BR/>I'm embarrassed to say that, although I love horror movies, I've never seen "Halloween", so I might have to watch that before I see this. Glad you liked it though, it bodes well for me.kookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00994570192941993135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-76749923548140406552007-09-02T16:40:00.000-06:002007-09-02T16:40:00.000-06:00Kelly - I would hate to have unreliable internet!!...Kelly - I would hate to have unreliable internet!!

We have bought a collection of gadgets over the years, have new wires coming into the house, and even have a power booster. I have just gotten used to sitting here nice as can be and having everything stop working. Even when it is working, if things run slow I get really paranoid and think that things are about to die on me! Lately it has been working fine, but that happens sometimes, and then something will happen and we will lose everything!Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-55386906917817263082007-09-02T14:53:00.000-06:002007-09-02T14:53:00.000-06:00Chris - Thanks!

It's seriously violent and twisted, but it was meant to be a tribute to the 60's and 70's B-Horror movies. And that's certainly what it was!! <BR/><BR/>As far as the remake, I really did like it. That kid creeped me out to no end.

'cause i agree, you can't really make a better version, but you feel that zombie certainly has something to give to the franchise. so i'm looking forward to it! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
