The only good point of Friday the 13th part 3 was the introduction of the hockey-mask, but I still prefer the burlap sack. The harpoon kill was kinda neat too I guess, also the only good 3D part of the movie. "Hey let's juggle fruit and play with yo-yos and shit!"
"Sure, why the fuck not!"
"We spent the money for 3D conversion so let's use it as weirdly and random as possible!"
Now I'll review some horror movies from my take, I'll be using the "out of ten" scale. Every film is the original unless noted otherwise.
Creature From the Black Lagoon: my personal favorite Universal monster movie, by no means scary anymore, but enjoyable and surprisingly strong practical effects that are still admirable. 8.5/10.
Night of the Living Dead: the first zombie movie, with a strong and at the time break-through casting for lead actor. Creepily simple and effective gore effects and a sense of impending terror set up great atmosphere. 8/10.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre: firstly a budget movie, but what a movie it is. An immediate feeling of being isolated from the refined world and one hitchhiker later sets up exactly what they wanted you to feel here. The use of cheaper more realistic effects produces much less buckets of blood than any other slasher film, but comes off more real which is more terrifying in and of itself. The scene when the guy first enters the house and we're jump-scared with Leatherface's mallet to the face is disturbingly real in the performance and a classic scene of the film. 9/10.
A Nightmare on Elm Street: Christmas sweaters weren't scary before this film, and now the fedora is either the mark of an adventurer or a serial killer of children. Freddy Krueger has become the next Dracula of horror films, being even scarier and has a sadistic sense of humor to cause, well ya know, nightmares. That knife-glove-thing has become an icon of its own, and way to send Johnny Depp out of his very first movie roll with a splash (heh heh). 9/10.

Okay that's it for now, I'll review more later. Pretty much just because I can and I'd like you all to know how I feel about these movies.
