Watch Halloween H20 and I Know What You Did Last Summer last night.
1. Jamie Lee Curtis and Adam Arkin make the least appealing screen couple ever.
2. What the fuck was wrong with Josh Hartnett's hair?
3. Why is it apparently so goddamn hard for anyone to make a good Halloween movie? That shit should make itself!
4. IKWYDLS was way, way better than I expecting. Good direction, strong performances, surprisingly brutal, always compelling. I could have watched the opening aerial shot set to Type O Negative's "Summer Breeze" for hours. And the way it morphs into score that still matches the tempo of the song? Beautiful.
I love zombies halloween. At least the first 1.
I think Zombie's Halloweens are mixed bags. Lots of good stuff, but they still don't soar like I want them to. Honestly, Season of the Witch is probably my favorite Halloween movie. Getting away from the trappings of Michael Myers seemed to work better for me.
I really appreciate that you italicized the "Halloween," but not the "s". My opinion of you just went up a few notches.

Watched "Creep" and "The Awakening" recently.
Creep was interesting, but I'm kinda over the low-fi take your camera, and have it recording, horror movie thing. It was cool with like the first Paranormal Activity n'all, but it's gotten old. Having said that, the idea of the movie was kinda cool. I feel there was potential there, but it fell a bit short.
The Awakening was ok as well. Nothing special but kind of intriguing. I always like good 'ol spooky / haunted house movies, and this stuck with the formula, while trying to blend more modern day twists. Another thing I'm over is the ghost/demon suddenly appearing in the camera with the abrasive "scare" sound. Yawn. Everyone does this, it's becoming akin to the Wilhelm scream. This drug the movie down for me, but it was still an ok watch. McNultey was in it.
I started it then fell asleep. Now that I got a new tv ill be jumping on that after i get back from my trip to austin! need to get back into horror films for the final run towards Halloween.
