Update-athon (Part 1, 80's slashers).

Happy Halloween!!!! 
(Hell yeah, ya fuckin boogins!!!!)

Yeah, I'm using this post to remake the original into a prettier streamlined version. ;)

Happy Halloween!!!

• A Nightmare On Elm Street.
• Friday The 13th.
• Hellraiser.
• Halloween.
• Child's Play.
• Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
• Evil Dead.
• The Hannibal Lecter series.
• Re-Animator.
• Alien.
• Predator.
• Phantasm.
• The 90's bring the pain.
• The 00's bring more pain.
• Uncle Robert saves the day!
• Honorable mentions (part 1).
• Honorable mentions (part 2).
• Sequel-itis.

(I put those back into the order I posted them in. Screw that "the release order of the first chapter", bullshit)

Now, the sequels in Halloween 2.

• Slacker-age Slashers Shindig! The second!
• Slacker-age Slashers Shindig! The second! (Addendum).

And, the sequels in Halloween 3. (and a little after)

• Freddy-verse lives!
• I REDO the Jasons!
• I REDO the Freddys.
• Slasher mashes! (Hatchet III rocks)
• Post-Halloween update (Part 2). (Curse Of Chucky sucks)

Newer stuff.

• Flicks I've watched (Part 26) (Moleman sucks)
• "You play a good game, boy!!" (updated!!) (Phantasm Ravager)
• Okay, Evil Dead fans, here's where we are. (update)

Slasher-age nostalgia documentaries/books.

• Electric Boogaloo.
• Rewind This!
• Adjust Your Tracking.
• Phantasm Exhumed.
• Unearthed & Untold.
• Invaluable.
• Leviathan.
• There is no Jesse.

And...that's it.
Unless "Before The Mask", ever comes out, that about does it for the classic franchises, and the classic Freddy/Jason/Chucky/Leatherface continuity.

Robert Englund has "Fear Clinic", coming out.
Not holding my breath on that being good after "Inkubus", and "Moleman".
Willing to be wrong, but not pinning hopes on it.

I'm sure some cool new retro-80's franchise will come along.
But, for now, we're in a holding pattern.

Tomorrow, the classic monsters again.

Halloween Four!!!!

Yep, once more, as it was last year, and the year before, tomorrow is October, so the Halloween marathon has rotated back around yet again.

So, here's the previous ones again if you want a refresher....

Halloween 1, 80's slashers.

Halloween 2, classic monsters.

Halloween 3, Masters Of Horror.


And, like last year, I jumped the gun, and did a shitload of reviewing, and had an early En-Mike-lopedia.

Here's that.

En-Mike-lopedia 4.

So, most of your Halloween goodies are already in there.

Now, as I announced here, the bigass marathon you're used to is cancelled.

The topic was supposed to be "Based On A True Story", and I made a two part mission statement on what that was supposed to entail.
Here, and here.

Meh, I figure with that ranting alone, I covered what I wanted to say with it. Going through the motions of the reviews would just be repeating myself while adding gloomy drudge work.

So, what I'm gonna do instead, is update the topics of the first 3 Halloweens over the next 3 days or so. Those are the Halloween subjects I enjoy anyway.

See you tomorrow.

Happy 20th anniversary, Ed Wood!

Crossovers #40!!

Yeah, I said no more crossovers, but I also said...

The only ones I really want to update, are the Simpsons/Family Guy and Simpsons/Futurama episodes when they come out.

So, here we are.


Family Guy: 
The Simpsons Guy (2014)

It just aired, and I loved it.

Was it the best episode of either series?
No.
Did I expect that?
No.
Do I think less of the intelligence of anyone who did?
Yep.

As a crossover, however, it was perfect.
Everything you'd want.
Similar/parallel characters meet, funny interactions, everything you'd want them to say or do was done, both series brutally roasted, Homer and Peter fight, etc, etc.

It was the Freddy vs Jason/World's Finest/Batman vs Hulk of animated sitcoms.

And, it felt so...RIGHT.
I wanted the shows to permanently fuse, they belong together.
I felt the same way about Superman/Fantastic Four.

Now, bring on Simpsorama!

Happy 3rd ThatGalaxyNextDoor Day!!

You made it, Hyla!
Yours is as old as mine was when we met back up.
You're an experienced veteran now.

His own retrospective is up now, so hop on over.

Linky!!
