The Brainscan theme tune sounds cool.
Never seen the movie but i think that i´m finally going to get the dvd.

I would also like to get The Unnamable and Phantom of the Opera.

definitely worth getting atomik,i reckon you would really like it.
the unnamable(i have the region 2 uk double disc from anchorbay which also includes the sequel) and phantom (i have the region 1 disc from mgm,it's the cut r rated version but that seems to be the only version in circulation at the moment ,both of these are also a lot of fun .

if you don't mind watching it on youtube here's a link to brainscan entire movie - http://youtu.be/hbH-XgvR8eY .

Day 24:

Friday The 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan

Not a classic by any means, but it does have a few good kill scenes: Julius on the rooftop stands out for me.

Mr McCulloch being drowned in toxic waste was another highlight.

I love this time of year! Watched a few movies lately: The Stepfather, Fortress, Nightmare On Elm Street Parts 3-5, Wrong Turn, and Friday The 13th parts 1,2,3,and 5. I somehow don't have part 4 but will be trying to rectify that this weekend. Planning to save Halloween, Near Dark and The Monster Squad for the 31st.

I love Wrong Turn. I know it's kinda B-grade but I just love it. The noises the freaks make are funny though.

watched robert englund's 976 evil http://youtu.be/DjxqnUBV0Wc with stephen geofreys,remember when i first watched it back in the late 80s feeling a bit dissapointed with it but after watching it again yesterday have changed my oppinion completely,it's actually a pretty cool and fun horror flick,enjoyed it a lot!

also watched x-ray aka hospital massacre a low budget 80s slasher from cannon pictures,really daft slasher this one but one which also happens to be very entertaining, directed by boaz davidson and starring the very attractive barbi benton.

http://youtu.be/Xly7Kt8jwEM - bikini contest from fantasy island featuring barbie benton .

i purchased a dvd-r of this of someone on ebay as it's never had an official dvd release, i always thought i had the uncut copy of this but it turns out i have the heavily edited 77 min version and that there's a uncut version out there on the mgm label that runs for 89 minutes, i'd like to get my hands on that.

last one i watched was mother's day http://youtu.be/EhdAn-alJDI starring rebecca demornay,pretty decent flick this with some real gruesome torture scenes that will probably make even the most hardcore of horror fans cringe.

next one on my list to watch is link from 1986 starring elizabeth shue and terence stamp,not seen it since it's original release in the mid 80s.

Blind buy # 1: Dead Snow (2009)

A ski vacation turns horrific for a group of medical students, as they find themselves confronted by an unimaginable menace: Nazi zombies.

A really well made Zombie flick. After seeing the cover, and reading a bit more about this -- how could I not buy it?

This is well worth buying on Blu-ray -- it looks stunning.

Norway is a very beautiful country, and they really show it off:

-- A possible holiday destination????

..Maybe not!!!!

I'm being a little harsh here, I mean it wasn't that bad. It's just that for the majority of the movie, you couldn't see what the hell was going on.

Day 30:

Tonight I decided to watch:

It takes a bashing from Halloween fans, but I actually kind of enjoyed it.

To be honest I found it more interesting than some of the sequels. The soundtrack was also excellent -- very creepy.

Tom Atkins watching some movie:

Halloween III is definitely worth watching.

Ever since Ronnie mentioned "Deadly Friend" in the Zombie thread I've been wanting to watch it again. Finally got a chance on Friday night to kickoff my Halloween weekend.

Watching it was a blast! Was anyone else surprised to find out that Wes Craven directed "Deadly Friend"? Though watching the homage to the basement boiler room and burning up one of the characters should have been a tip.

While "Deadly Friend" is best remember from your childhood and that infamous basketball scene, I must say it was fun to watch after several years and appreciate it for the 80's elements.

In the 80's.. Matthew Labyorteaux was the reason so many people went to see this movie, but Kristy Swanson was the real star and did a fantastic job considering she was only 16 and fairly new on the scene. My favorite character was actually Tom played by Michael Sharrett. I had totally forgotten how much humor he added to this horror flick. Plus, Tom had an awesome Pat Benatar poster on the back of his bedroom door!

And it is definitely great to watch for Halloween especially with a cool Trick or Treat scene that ends with a Goonies gone bad twist!

I've decided to stir some memories with friends from my neighborhood as a kid and watch "The Monster Squad" as I fall asleep tonight.

Anybody wanna borrow my t-shirt? [Wink]

All true... completely agree. [Smile]

Valley, nice stuff on Deadly Friend. Great movie... did you remember that it's BASED ON THE NOVEL "Friend." That would be interesting to read.
I know you and I both love the music in the movie as well.

So judging by the picture above, Paul wasn't into trick r treating eh? He's not dressed up! He could have easily thrown on his lab coat and gloves, and been a doctor for Halloween, ya think?

I've always loved the face Sam makes after she blasts Mama Fratelli with the basketball. Sick I know, but still... [Wink]

The Hand (1981)

"Jon Lansdale is a comic book artist who loses his right hand in a car accident.
The hand was not found at the scene of the accident,
but it soon returns by itself to follow Jon around, and murder those who anger him." (IMDb)

This was a great old school horror thriller directed by Oliver Stone.
Michael Caine gives a good performance although he said in a TV interview that the only reason he did this film
was to earn enough to put a down payment on a new garage he was having built.

Stone has a fun cameo scene and there´s a cool sequence which includes Blondie tune "Union City Blue".
