1. Evil Dead 2

I read on HorrorDVDs people talking about how the movie was going to end at first. And what the people making the movie had in mind for the sequels. The sequel is supposed to deal with the town's reaction to the killings. Basically all three movies are supposed to take place on Halloween night. Even though the first movie ended fairly late at night. Honestly, I just don't want to see Laurie possibly die.

I can't remember a scene with a little girl holding the knife. I thought the movie ended with Laurie and her family saved by the people in a pickup truck. I watched the movie twice. I lean towards liking Halloween H20 more just because it's more fun to me. But Halloween 2018 feels like a true sequel to the original or even Halloween 2 more than H20.

Round 3 Group AB:

1. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)


Evil Dead II was tons of fun, but Invasion was sincerely scary.

2. Psycho (1960)


I've never been that into Halloween and maybe I'm sometimes a bit more partial to older films that still hold up.

3. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)


This is a tough choice. Candyman is a great film, Tony Todd is a badass and I'm looking forward to seeing the remake. But TCM just has a little bit more of everything.

Will rewatch Candyman, though.

4. The Exorcist (1973)


Scary, legendary, still holds up,... As much as I love Bruce Campbell, Evil Dead can not compete with that.


5. I love them both and for different reasons, so... Too close to call.
