i love haunted house movies i liked the first one but i thought the remake was better , dont usually go for remakes but in this case was made really well.

It has to be Amityville 2:The Possession. I grew up watching all these movies so they mean a lot to me memories wise. I doubt I'd enjoy them as much today. Sorry leezuki but I hated the remake.

I do have to admit that the remake was good, but I'm just a classic junkie

This is similar to the 'Which is your favourite bowel movement' thread ?..

With the exception of the ones I saw they were all pretty shite - I thought the 2nd was ok but I've not seen it since it came out.

hahaa i actually lol-ed at this...
i do find some of the others amusing.... but yea they were terrible

thought i didnt think that Possession, The Evil Escapes or dollhouse were particularly terrible, just corny
