Just like how Halloween 3 stuck with me. But when I saw these I was a kid. So I guess that helps.

I do like Halloween H20. I think I prefer that to Halloween 2018. But I need to see the sequel. I'm not sure I like where that series is headed. I thought Myers should not have escaped that basement after all of Laurie's planning.

I guess the problem with every great movie is, it is so difficult to make lighting strike twice.

Maybe Michael doesn't escape Laurie's basement. I think the ending indicates the little girl will become The Shape... the way they show her holding the knife.

I didn't know Predator had so much love. Or is it Haunting doesn't have that much? = p

This is our highest vote total so far. I'm gonna call it here. Fright Night nicks past Salem's Lot. I was a little surprised Predator inched past The Haunting; I don't think we would have seen that last tourney, well mostly because of the 13 folks who submitted films, Predator wasn't even on anyone's list.
