I'm calling it out

Halloween I & II (shot at the same time, also known as the babysitter murders) is by far the best single horror film ever made. It's my opinion, and I haven't researched anything extra new or rare in a while. So, if you disagree with me... fine. What's yours. Educate me on some next level shit. But, that movie still freaks me out.

Halloween is one of my favorite slasher series for sure, but I don't think I'd put them at the top of my list...

1-Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original)
2-Dawn of the Dead (original)
3-Night of the Living Dead (original)
4-Demons
5-Halloween


Those are probably my top 5 just off the top of my head.

wtf is demons?

I totally agree with all your picks, but what is demons? Is it like that fucked up Italian movie Zombie? What's the story?

Oh, that's 1 you should check out. The story is very, very basic but the cheesy acting and sloppy gore makes it one of my favorites. It's Italian but you can find it dubbed in English probably easier than you could find it in Italian. The premise is basically this...

Zombies run wild on an audience full of people locked inside a movie theatre. If you like movies like Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, Bad Taste, Dead Alive, etc... Then you'll probably like this. It's along those lines of gore & cheesiness.

Hey....I gotta educate you on some next level shit, man.

Actually, Halloween and Halloween II weren't made at the same time; they were shot a couple of years apart.

Wow...

Gotta check out Demons... you sure about Halloween? I took this crazy horror films class at school and my Prof. swore by that shit. It doesn't mean he might not have been full of shit, but that's what I had always heard about Halloween. Again, that is why I am here... to learn.

Yeah, I know, I'm being silly. But it's true, they were made separately. I like them both though. The first one's a classic and the second one captures some of the atmosphere and functions as a decent followup.

The third film is a little nutsy kooky but I liked that one a lot too. Also very atmospheric.

Your professor was flipped out of his MIND, man, his MIND. His brain was in the stratosphere. He was wrong on that one. That's okay, teachers are human, I'm sure it was an honest mistake on his part. But yeah, I love the first 3 Halloween films, I'm not too crazy about the other ones. But the first ones are sweet.
