I used to think it was a shame the series only went on for seven seasons, but now, I think it went on just long enough. No series should be more than 7-10 seasons.

Ha! That's hilarious. That dude obviously got a lot of work before Bond. One of my favorite movies when I was younger was A Kid in King Arthur's Court. Caught it recently on tv, and guess who popped up in that one? Daniel Craig, with a mop top if I recall.

Anyhoo, new season of Supernatural apparently started. Made me sad to see a clip for it at the end of my Flash recording. That was my all-time favorite tv show for the first two seasons. Every episode was like a 43 minute horror movie. And then they stopped doing "creature of the week" and suddenly every villain was just a bunch of old white guys in suits. So lame. I roughed it out through the end of season 6 because I still liked the comedic episodes they do a couple of times per season, but I couldn't take it anymore after that. It devolved to the point where the brothers would seemingly take turns dying each season, and then getting resurrected at the beginning of the next. Now I guess they just take turns becoming demons.

They're up to, what, season 10 now? They should've quit after Jeffery Dean Morgan asked to be killed off.

Still like the car, though. Bought the Greenlight diecast Supernatural Impala not too long ago.

That was a great show, it's amazing to go back and see all the huge actors that got to do episodes. did anyone ever make a Crypt Keeper figure? That's one character that would be a great retro Mego style figure.

I'm pretty sure there's a variety of crypt keeper figures to choose from. I don't know that any are mego style, maybe we could possibly see one from NECA in the future, but I don't know if they have the rights/permission to work in that license.

Return of the Living Dead 1985 (Great soundtrack)

Hellraiser (classic to me)
Nightbreed
Alien
Jaws (scariest movie in the world because it is real)

Jaws isn't real, a great white that large would never come as close to shore as it did in that movie. Also at the beginning when it makes its first kill, which is one of the coolest/scariest parts of the film, sharks don't thrash their food and run laps with it in their mouth. Sharks just bite into whatever it is they're eating and pull down. It's a great movie and I really like it, but it's not the most realistic of all. I'd say movies like Last House on the Left, Psycho, or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre are more realistically handled and possible (the latter two films being inspired by real life serial killer Ed Gein).
Talking about Tales From the Crypt, who else remembers Creepshow, the movies? These were basically the R-rated versions of TftC (Tales only had one R-rated film and its original film from before the show was only PG). The first Creepshow was written and directed by Stephen King and George A Romero, pretty neat movie and worth a watch from Crypt fans. I also remember Tales from the Darkside which was basically just the TV-14 version of Tales from the Crypt, some of those stories were really weird though and seemed like they wanted to have a moral but that's not what people watching the show were looking for.

[kylactus]

Demon night and bordello of blood were both R-rated TFTC movies. what Tales move came out before the show?

If you want a believable premise, and sheer terror, this is the best Horror movie ever: Shakma (1990) - IMDb

The scariest part of the movie is the fact that the baboon gets an erection every time he attacks. I for one would f with a group of sharks before I mess with a mad Baboon wit a hard on.

also there is evidently a TFTC movie called "Ritual" that came out in 2002 I've never seen it though.

Funny, I just ordered "ritual" from best buy but it's on backorder. Never seen it though.

Tales From The Crypt came out in 1972 and is based on the premise of the original comics which was later then made into the show. I guess what I mean when I say that Creepshow is R-rated TFTC, is that it's multiple stories along the same horror theme as TFTC.
Ritual? That's the book that The Wicker Man is based on (the original 1973 is a horror classic, don't even bother with the 206 version unless you wanna laugh at Nic Cage running around in a bear suit). Never heard about any Crypt based version or film with similar title.
If you like horror films and also like to point out all the stupid decisions and characters go check out HELL NO: the sensible horror movie on Youtube. It's only 3 minutes, but it's funny and worth a watch. I also recommend Tucker and Dale VS Evil as a sort-of horror comedy that plays role reversal, it's more comedy than horror.

You ever watch Shark Week? Jaws is more real and more of a threat than another other horror movies stuff I can think of. . Realistically I could go into the ocean and get bitten by a 20 foot Great White much easier than I could get chopped up by crazy person in some weird remote part of Wisconsin. That's for me. A middle aged dude. Now maybe if I was some hot college girl hiking through the woods by myself then I might reverse the story lol. Either way Jaws scared the living daylights out of me. I hate going into the ocean or even fresh water sometimes because of Bull Sharks. I've never worried about wondering into the woods. That's just my fear.

You should be more afraid of bull sharks and tiger sharks or box-jellyfish than a great white unless you plan on going out to sea just for a swim. If somebody said would you rather get into a tank with a great white or a crocodile, you'd be safer with the shark unless you're bleeding. I guess the ludicrous part of Jaws is how big the shark is and then how close it comes to shore. Good movie still, but like all horror films it has an element of unreal. I'm afraid to go into the ocean because of box-jellyfish and squid, which is weird since I don't think either of those could get to me on the coast of Texas. I find though that every creature that scares me as a predator is also something I find very cool and admirable for their evolutionary prowess as killing machines.

Don't know if anybody's said it yet, but The Hills Have Eyes was a great horror classic. We've talked about some classic and great horror films here. Now let's talk about the crappiest, almost so bad they're good type films. You've got yer Trolls 2 "they're eating her, and then they're gonna eat me, ohh my gawwwd!", Maximum Overdrive on concept alone, Shocker, was this even supposed to be a horror?! Manos the hands of awful, Squirm was funny-bad, Devil Fish was supposed to be horror but comes off as soft-core porn, Touch of Satan, every Syfy original ever (way to ruin the Wrong Turn franchise).

Worse... Back in the 70's, two Mexican wrestlers (el santo & blue demon) became very popular to the point that they became "movie star idols". The only problem was that they had the worst budget, the worst special effects and sound effects ever! Lol, the funny part is the movies were meant to be horror (imagine two wrestlers fighting mummies and vampires and werewolves, you name it) but they just turned out to be the funniest classic movies ever. They did so many I lost count but they are all equally bad! Lol, believe it or not people would love them.

[En Sabah Nerd]

It's like Abbott and Costello meet (insert monster here), but instead with Mexican luchadores and the laughs aren't intentional this time around.

Jaws was based on real shark attack that happen in the 60's on the Jersey Shore.

Jaws is based on the novel Jaws based on the Jersey shark attacks of 1916. The great white in those incidents was only about 10 feet long hence it was able to come so close to shore. Saying that Jaws is 100% based on those incidents would be comparable to saying that Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the life story of Ed Gein.

I usually just leave them in pencil, I sketch 'em and move on to the next page for something else. I've thought about going back eventually and coloring some but definitely not all.

[3233rafael]

Remember this one... wanna see something really scary?







If this one didn't scare you at the time, then you're a log... Lol

HAHA my dad use to turn off the lights in the car at night like that first scene when me and my brother were kids. My mom would would be screaming "Keith turn the lights back on your going to kill us" and my dad and us would be laughing our heads off.

[Bradsdadg]

Wow, I forgot about that movie. Creeped me out as a little kid, lol

[CMIII]

The inspiration for JAWS came from the 1916 Matawan Creek Shark attacks. A young boy (Lester Stillwell) was attacked by a Shark (likely a Bull Shark) in a a fresh water creek that flows into Ratiton Bay. The would be rescuer attempted to save him was also attacked by the same Shark. Later that afternoon another boy was attacked just down stream. The towns people began shooting guns and dropping Dynamite into the Creek and began using shark nets to capture the shark. Several days later a Small Shark (Great White) was caught with Human remains in it's belly. At the time several Shark attacks had been reported from Atlantic City, New Jersey to Mantauk, New York, the majority in NJ. This Animal attack still remains unsolved 98 years after simply because the Great White was tried, convicted, and found guilty because of what was in it's stomach and not on the true facts
