Just a quick post to letcha all know that I am alive and successfully moved. Not in the mood for one of my usual lengthy posts. Just know that I had a good weekend celebrating my birthday (was barely hungover at all Saturday!), and was thoroughly entertained by that Friday the 13th flick. It was my first low-rent eighties slasher movie; who knew that all those jokes I'd heard about the conventions and stupidities of the genre weren't exaggerated in the least?

Friday the 13th = awesomeness.

Monica and I once spent a Saturday morning watching it. And eating. Popcorn, macaroni and cheese, ice cream, pretzels, nachos, you name it. And of course, giggling hysterically. As I recall, we ended up muting it at certain parts and making up our own disgusting dialogue.

You just made me nostalgic for a Kevin Bacon movie, damn you.

But on the upside, he did die in it.

Terrible slasher films involving camp counselors rule!

After all those posts you made about movies, I thought you were a *real* film aficcionado. But you've never seen any low-rent eighties slasher movies until now?? You've got some catching up to do. Here are some tips from a guy who went on a marathon of cheesy slasher flicks back in the 8th grade....
1) If you for some reason see the third "Halloween" movie, watch it with the understanding that it has no bearing on the rest of the series whatsoever.
2) Do not watch the third "Halloween" movie in the middle of the series as the numbers would dictate. Go immediately from #2 to #4 and don't look back.
3) In fact, it's best if you skip the third "Halloween" movie entirely.
4) And skip the third "Howling" movie, too.

Let me guess - the third "Halloween" movie is the one everyone hates because the killer wasn't even Michael Myers, it was that ambulance dude? See, I know a few things. =P I'm just not into slasher movies, that's all.

Thanks for the tips, though; if I ever lose change my mind and decide to go for it, I'll remember them. =)

*sigh* Okay, young'un, let Grandpa Creepy tell you kids about the good 'ol days of Halloween III: The Season of the Witch.
The biggest thing you'll take away from this -pedazo de mierda- is an annoying parody of "Merrily We Roll Along", with new lyrics for the late October season written by the Silver Shamrock mask company. In addition to snappy commercial jingles, the company is best known for its masks which turn people's heads into a mass of writhing insects and arachnids when worn.
...That's pretty much the whole movie. Michael Myers appears on a television set which is showing the first Halloween movie, just to remind the audience what a real slasher movie looks like.
As far as a movie where the killer wasn't the killer, it happened twice in the Friday the 13th series. You can just watch those for yourself.
