I think that you should follow the ancient tradition of bedecking the proverbial Christmas Tree with candles by
setting your roommates on fire.

Sounds great, Gore... You'll have to remind me and I'll try to stay up late to catch your show (I'm a bad Forum Stalker - I have YET to hear your show :p)... If I miss it - Post your results... We could make a thread out of this (I'm sure THAT'S never been done this time of year - ha)

I would watch Black Christmas, cause I love it, but it's on tv once a week from Halloween until Christmas. Looses it's fun after a while. Maybe I'll check out the remake. Obviously not as good as the original but is it any good?

Yes, yes you
should see Scrooged. Oh, sweet Bill Murray in his goofy slapstick prime... Classic.
And as for the remake of Black Christmas, honestly I was impressed.
NOTE: I always have to say this; you might want to take my take with a grain of salt because I LOVE slasher films (as in, when my boyfriend says, "THIS HORROR FILM IS AMAZING,"
I have to take it with a grain of salt because he loves big gory monster movies... a bit more than
I do)... I thought that the remake of Black Christmas was a GREAT slasher film... Definitely an archetypal slasher theme: Hot ladies being hunted down (setting is a sorority house with all of the sisters who stayed at school for the holidays)... The death scenes are delightfully brutal (not HUGELY gory, but enough to make me cringe).
That being
said... The killer/twist "reveal" was a little LAME, to tell you the truth, and the end was so incredibly long, drawn-out, and elaborate that it negated what I thought was a REALLY well-made film.
I'd say, DEFINITELY check it out if you like slasher films... I'm pretty sure that Horror Fans panned it when it came out, but the first 3/4s of the film are definitely worth it, IMO.
...
Just turn it off before the end. ;)
I'd actually be interested in what
other people think of the Black Christmas remake... The parts I liked, I REALLY liked... And so did my boyfriend... But I'm curious to see if people thought it was just cheesey.
I like the Crimbo concept, by the way MM... That's pretty spectacular... You need to post a pic of the woolly intimates... Are they available on mail order? ;)
