I'm having a movie night tomorrow. It's starting at 6PM, and hopefully lasting until 3AM. That's 9 solid hours of feature film fun; give or take. The theme at hand: Slashers of the 70's & 80's. I'm not talking Halloween, Friday the 13th or A Nightmare on Elm Street. My audience is too familiar with these.

The list of available titles are as follows:

The Burning (Uncut) 1h 30m
Re-Animator (Uncut) 1h 30m
Slumber Party Massacre 1h 10m
Maniac! 1h 30m
Prom Night 1h 30m
Demons 1h 30m

I haven't seen any of these listed titles. Only the trailers. What are your opinions?

I'm most interested in... The Burning, Re-Animator and Slumber Party Massacre. Is Demons a gore-fest? I though it was, but the trailer doesn't even look horror-ish. Prom Night also looks quite good.

What's the best way to organize these?

I was thinking...

6:00 - 7:30: The Burning
8:00 - 9:30: Maniac!
10:00 - 11:30: Prom Night
12:00 - 1:30: Slumber Party Massacre
2:00 - 3:30: Re-Animator

PS. Boy, the trailers for these are classics. They are so much better then those fake trailers created for Grindhouse (with the exception of Thanksgiving... please make it.) I honestly thought those trailers were comedied-up, but honestly... I laughed my ass off more watching these ACTUAL trailers. If only today's cinema was as fine as this. And Edgar Wright's trailer was so based off of the original The Burning trailer. I hope I'm not the last to realize this...
