I've never seen them but weren't the original Halloween and Nightmare movies supposed to be genuinely good?

I thoroughly enjoyed Halloween & Nightmare, but I don't have anything against any of the classic horror movies so I might not be the right person to ask.

The first NoES is good. The third one (Dream Warriors) is probably the best. Much later on New Nightmare was fun. The rest are complete dumpster fires.

Halloween is a classic, it's a great movie. The second is good too. I like the third even tho it had nothing to do with Michael Myers. The rest are terrible, wgaf entries. At a stretch I would say I like H2O out of nostalgia and that Rob Zombie's (first) remake wasn't as bad as people say it is.

We won't even talk about the Helllraiser movies.

I am the only person on the face of the earth that will say that they liked Inferno and Hellseeker.

They aren't terrible horror movies, they just aren't so Clive Barkerish.

Now if you said you liked Hellraiser:Revelations or Hellworld, then I wouldn't be able to stop laughing.

Yeah, I guess that's accurate. They definitely weren't good Hellraiser movies.

Did you read the Scarlet Gospels?

I don't think I ever watched Revelations, but I saw Hellworld just because of Lance Henriksen being in it. Not even he could save it, and he alone can usually save a shitty horror movie for me.

I haven't red Scarlet Gospels yet- I'm actually working through his Books of Blood right now, since it's easier to focus on short stories when things are busy.

I dunno, I'm kind of feeling it. I love Magik and Cannonball, and I'm assuming that was a shot of Sunspot in the dryer. And Maisie is definitely going to do a better job with her role than Sophie did as Jean Grey. I always really liked the offshoot teams when I was a kid for some reason. New Mutants, X-Factor, X-Force, X-ETC. I liked a lot of the tertiary characters that were never on the main team. I just wish Marvel could use Cable and Domino for this.

I read the New Mutants, X Factor comics quite a bit as a lad ... but I don't think nostalgia will make me watch this movie.

Does make me want to dig out my old comics and admire Rob Liefeld's disproportionately laughable human anatomies though ...

And pouches. NEVER forget the pouches.

Naturally, along with the excessive guns that every all-powerful mutant would need...
