The others have different aspects I like that put them ahead of Part II but just in terms of how scary they are, Part II is tops for me. The sack is scarier(probably because I grew up with the hockey mask and it became ubiquitous), and the way Jason is still very human and moves around like a regular dude trying to murder people is also scarier than what Jason became later. it absolutely is the scariest and best of the series

Why only one eyehole though? Is Jason blind in his janky eye?

Basebf555 posted:I knew people said that Silent Night, Deadly Night 2 was a lot of footage from the original but holy hell, that was completely insane. Literally half the movie(or more?) is recap. gey muckle mowser posted:the worst recap offender I've seen is Dollman vs Demonic Toys, which is only 60 minutes long and contains about 20 minutes of footage from three different previous films. Add to that a ridiculously long opening credits sequence and tons of scenes that are nothing but Dollman standing next to comically oversized props or the Toys just sitting there making goofy noises and you are left with like 25 minutes of actual movie. I still think Boogeyman 2 has them beat for most use of previous film footage.

Splatterhouse owns, I probably never would have heard of it (and Chiller) if the local parents hadn't protested outside the local arcade until both were removed.

M_Sinistrari posted:I think in general it's worth it to track down any book that a movie was adapted from or a movie's novelization. At the very least it's interesting to see the differences between the two like with Slither, or there's additional information that explains things like with Funhouse. If you're talking about the Tobe Hooper movie, Dean Koontz was very clear that he had to make up all that additional information because there was only enough plot and characterisation in the movie to fill a cocktail napkin. And if you want to know what that would be like, read the novelisation of NOES - or more accurately the pamphletisation, because it's actually the first three movies in one book that is less than 200 pages long.

I used to have that NOES trilogy book, it owned. Also included that dope prequel short story about Freddy's origin. I did not know Dean Koontz wrote the novelization of Funhouse, that rules

Halloween Jack posted:Woah, I hosed up. I'm going to have to watch a marathon of all the F13s now. Man gently caress Halloween 6. Watch some paint dry instead, it’ll be more satisfying. And I watched the “fixed” one! Anyway maybe it’s because I went into NoES 5 with really low expectations but I didn’t think it was that bad. Well, it at least wasn’t that boring. I was mainly wanting cool visuals and it pulled that off.

I'm laughing at all the posers in this thread that aren't listening to the podcast In Myers We Trust. Only posers don't want to listen to 4 hour episodes of cozy conversation about each Halloween film. They did two episodes for Part 6, for the theatrical and producers cut, so that's more like 7 hours. The H20 episode is pretty fun, because they make a lot of comparisons of H20 to Friday the 13th Part 2, since both are directed by Steve Miner. edit: I could be wrong, but in Jason X, doesn't the doctor mention he's blind in his eye when she cuts the mask off his face and starts digging in his head with forceps?

I just assumed it was because Jason is an undead and/or aquatic manchild monster and didn't really have the patience for two eye holes

Why did he wear a mask at all? It's not like anyone could have identified him. And his being a victim of bullying for looking different didn't show up until FvsJ, so it ain't that.

Like I said, that poo poo didn't show up until FvsJ. According to his mom, dude was just ignored by the counselors assigned to watch him, probably because they were off banging somewhere. Nothing was ever implied that he was being mocked in any of the other sequels either.

Okay... Then why does Michael Myers wear a mask? Why does Freddy use a knife glove instead of literally anything else? edit: I guess my issue with the question is this: Jason is deformed, which we know from the very first film. No sequel specifically mentions him being bullied until FvJ, because that's the first film to show Jason alive as a child, in a dream flashback. So in every picture of Jason, artist rendering, etc, he's deformed. So why do you need a specific person referring to him as being bullied in an earlier sequel, instead of the implications through context? He was a 12 year old boy with deformities and possibly learning deficiencies, at a summer camp in the 1950s. PC culture wasn't as strong, and kids are assholes who bully. So him wearing a mask isn't that crazy. Do you want a boring practical explanation? It's faster and cheaper to have a masked character instead of prosthetics.

Even in the original Halloween it seems pretty clear that Michael wears a mask because he’s a soulless shape instinctually replicating what he did on Halloween 1963. Jason wears a mask because Michael wore a mask.

And informative, like going into explanations and fan theories about Jason's deformities and why he wears masks. Also, it's just really funny. Paul Rust and Matt Gourley would be wonderfully entertaining people to talk horror movies with.

It’s because of that show that there’s finally a suitable fan theory for how Jason drowned in 1 but didn’t really and lived in the woods (the butt worm from Jason Goes to Hell went into the corpse and reanimated it).
