Oh yeah. Hell, one of the episodes I watched last night had Daniel Craig in it. It is funny that I did not realize how far back I knew that guy before he became Bond. I thought Tomb Raider was the earliest I had seen him in, but nope, when S7 came out on DVD several years ago I discovered it was TFtC that I first knew him from.
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. 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. |

I've got the first seven seasons of Tales from the Crypt on DVD, I've never seen them on Blu-ray. I'm not sure if Blu-ray would even add anything to it. for me the 80's/ 90's slight soft blur o-vision look is part of the feel of the show. 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 not a big horror movie fan in general but these movies are fun to watch over and over.
Return of the Living Dead 1985 (Great soundtrack) Scream (I don't know I just like it even though it's goofy) Hellraiser (classic to me) Nightbreed Alien Jaws (scariest movie in the world because it is real) 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.

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.

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.

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. |

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.
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.

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 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.

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.

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
