I kind of figured that would be the case.Yes, we did. It wasn't too great
Not that any of them are masterpieces, but figured they'd ratchet up the gore, even for that series.
What a lovely memory Snowflake. That really took me back to video stores. A time before streaming!!!There is a marathon on, I will probably watch a little!
My childhood girlfriend messaged me this:
We used to rent the movies from the grocery store down the street from her house, fun creepy memories!!
Happy Friday The 13th, Sam!!
Yes! Wasn't it great to go to the video store on a Friday night and browse through the selection?
I would spend hours there. It had to be the right movie to fit the mood
I used to look forward to that so much! Always got a can of pringles to go with it too!!
The first one wasn't too bad, but then they got out of handI kind of figured that would be the case.

Cheesy & gory!
I miss video stores, too!
We actually still have a Family Video in town =]
It's pretty quiet when I drive by, I wonder how they survive.
It was the best!
The kids today will never know...
MM is the best.
I shall.
I haven't seen it in years either. Maybe it's time to go back and watch a few.
You guys had Blockbuster several years ago?
We had Blockbuster in Vegas, not sure about here.
The only one I've seen since we lived in EC was Family Video.
Oh we had Blockbuster here. Kind of sad when they went out of business.
It is sad- end of an era.
Yup and as you and Ryan were saying horror movies these days just aren't the same. I always found MM more scary than Jason because of that slow walk, the anticipation is more scary than just someone who runs after you with a chainsaw (although I'm not saying I'd want someone chasing after me with a chainsaw.
Halloween is genuinely terrifying, where Friday The 13th is campy! A few jumps, maybe. But mostly just senseless gore.
Halloween has a creepy psychological aspect, and it's also everything from the music, filming style, set/scenery, etc.
It was the original, ground breaking horror movie! Michael Myers IS the boogeyman!
Agreed!
I agree with y'all on Halloween. After several years of @snowflake22 toutingnitsnoraises, I finally saw the original Halloween just last year! Can't believe t took me so long. I was shocked at how restrained it was. As noted, suspenseful and atmospheric, but not overly gory. I loved it!
