Night Of The Demons (1988)

Today was strange.

Weird. Awkward. Good. Bad. Ugly. Useful. Productive. Not productive. Strange.

Seems like a perfect fit for Night Of The Demons. I'm not exactly sure why at the moment, but I'm sure it will all make sense in the end. Did this movie turn into a remake? I'm not sure yet - in fact, I don't care. At this point, I'm looking for straight up entertainment and I think this movie promises to be just that.

I've passed by this movie cover for nearly 15 years (and it scared me every time), it's about time I check it (and research some of it's history) out.

See you spooks all after the show!

Update:

I'm not sure if I'm halfway through the movie or not yet - I sense that I am but it's difficult to say because so far it's a beautiful mess and I had to get some sleep. It seems to follow some similar characteristics as The Evil Dead movies...just throwing that out there.

And I have three favorite quotes so far:

• "I found it in my mother's closet. She used to be an acid head"
• "Eat a bowl of f***"
• "I live  in a nice place, you know, with slip covers on the furniture"

The background/mood music sounds like it belongs with the ABC after school special soundtrack collection.

Oh my oh my. I'll try to finish this lovely up as soon as I can! In the meantime, I enjoyed the beautiful mess and I'm not sure what to do with it but pat it's head and say "So pretty."

The Evil Dead (1981)

The Evil Dead is one of the best horror movies ever made. Period.

Here is what the DVD case has to say:

"In the summer of 1979, a group of Detroit friends with $375,000 raised from local investigators headed for a cabin outside of Morristown, Tennessee to make a film about five college studies possessed by an ancient 'Book of the Dead". The filmmakers' goal was to create the 'The Ultimate Experience in Grueling Terror,' a movie so relentless that it would stand forever as a landmark in modern horror history. When it was released in 1982, it was immediately recognized worldwide as one of the most ferociously original films ever made."

This movie is an over-the-top explosion of gore, demons who think they are hilarious, creative deaths, and nail-biting entertainment. A must see. A must own. A must share.
