Create Your Own Double Feature: The Horror Version

[Sinister]

I almost put this in the Horror Movie section, but it's a game after all, so we once more pad this particular part of the forum. :D

Here's how it goes. You post two Horror films that would go together in a double feature. The rules are there can't be an original with one of it's sequels or the same series sequels back to back. So no Friday the 13th paired with Friday the 13th part 2 and that paired with Season of the Witch unless it's Romero's version. Also there will be no remakes paired with originals. Time to get creative guys.

There will also be a General Movie double feature if if this thread takes off. I will go ahead and kick off the festivities with:

Dog Soldiers and Predator.

[Frighteners Entertainment]

Texas Chain Saw Massacre (03) and Blade: Trinity

[Mr Unpleasant]

It's the quiet ones you have to watch out for

[Frighteners Entertainment]

Angel Heart and The Devils Advocate

The Devil made me do it!

[Sinister]

Dawn of the Dead (2004) and Return of the Living Dead

If you see a bunch of unidentified smelly people running screaming in your direction, run away as fast as you can! It's most likely not an 90% off of regular store prices, everything must go sale at Wal-Mart.

[Sinister]

Poltergeist and The Ring

A good solid argument against kids spending too much time in front of the television...and in it!

[Frighteners Entertainment]

Here we go!


Dark Night of the ScareCrow(81) and ScareCrows (88).

What scarier then a Scarecrow in a corn field?

[Sinister]

What scarier then a Scarecrow in a corn field?

A sweaty, hairy bald dude jogging along an expressway wearing speedos.

I figured I owed you for that evil visual you gave me this morning before my Coke and Smirnoff. :D Now back to the game. :D

Blacula and Vampire in Brooklyn

Who said all cool Vamps had to be white and from Romania?

[Sinister]

Night of the Demons and House By The Cemetary

When people say a house is haunted or cursed, there's probably a good reason for it, so stay the fuck away from these places.

things that go Squish in the night.

I can tell we're going to get along quite well...

Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl and John Carpenter's The Fog

Zombie Pirates out for revenge against landlubbers!

[Lazario]

(I didn't know Pirates of the Carribean was a horror film - maybe I should really see it now)

[Sinister]

In it's own way, POTC counts as one. There were definite horrific images to be sure.

LMAO!!!

[Lazario]

Nosferatu, The Vampire and Wolf

Two remakes of classic Horror films that the people responsible should be lined against a wall and shot.
Are you talking about the Jack Nicholson Wolf movie? Have you actually seen it?

[Sinister]

I am talking about that very film. I have seen it and wouldn't have commented on it had I not. There's probably/maybe a dozen or so good werewolf movies out there in existence and Wolf definitely isn't one of them.

[Sinister]

Frankenstein Unbound and The Haunted Palace

Two of Roger Corman's best!

[Lazario]

Tamara (2006) and Pet Sematary Two (1992)
(living dead girls)

There's probably/maybe a dozen or so good werewolf movies out there in existence and Wolf definitely isn't one of them.
How do you figure?

[Sinister]

How do I figure what? My theory about werewolf films, or that Wolf is a silly, melodramatic, snoozefest?

[Lazario]

I don't know your theory on werewolves, so how do you figure Wolf is silly, melodramatic, and sleep-inducing?

[Sinister]

It was basically a re-working of the classic 1940's Universal monster flick, The Wolfman. It tried too hard to make a sympathetic character out of an actor who is rarely, if ever, in Jack Nicholson. It was overlong and drawn out. Pfieffer and Nicholson have absolute ZERO chemistry. If not for the fact that Nicholson transformed (ratherly poorly, I might add) into a werewolf, then this could barely even be construed as a horror film. The only saving grace of this pile was James Spader and even his performance seemed watered down in comparison to some of his other roles.

[Lazario]

Well, I thought it was a very sophisticated but biting, intriguing, and ultimately convincing horror film. I'm not down with the pretentious people always trying to define and redefine what is and isn't horror. No point in that other than to be an elitist, and horror rarely works when it's elitist. This was a classy film with some very interesting themes and I come out of every one of these viewings feeling satisfied. You have a point in regard to Jack Nicholson. But he's the only thing in the movie that actually slows it down. It's character-driven, so I guess if you can't keep up with them - you could find the movie boring. Movies like this help give some nobility to horror and make it enduring.


Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Mary Reilly
(scary Mary's)

[Sinister]

I take it from your post that you are calling me elitist, pretentious and right out stupid for not being able to keep up with something that is "character driven." Is that about the long and short of it?

[Lazario]

Are you serious?

In my vernacular, this is how I would say "you are elitist, pretentious, and stupid" : "you are elitist, pretentious, and stupid." So since I didn't say that in that manner, that's not what I meant. However, I do feel what you said was definitely on the road to pretentious and elitist. Perhaps you didn't know it. But I do suppose I have to say that my diagnosis of what you said is just my opinion. I'm sure that to you, these words have somewhat different meanings.

[Sinister]

You didn't come right out and say it, no, but anyone reading it would have gotten the impression you were definitely hinting at it. It is as you stated above with your "diagnosis," my opinion on that flick. I didn't imply once that my own observation was the begin all end all of the subject at hand. Everyone has their opinions about what is good and what's not and I will defend their right to say so no matter what. There are those who love The Blair Witch Project and for the life of me, I can't understand why. I find it uber dull and illogical, but that's only my opinion. :D

If this proceeds farther in this type of manner, I recommend we take it to the PM's. No sense in getting off topic when a disagreement that has a potential to get out of hand will spoil the fun for everyone, don't you agree?

[Lazario]

Yes and no. Yes, along the lines you've suggested - if I can help it, I wouldn't spoil others' fun. And no, my intention was never to suggest anything negative about you. Just the direction in which your opinion was headed. If you think the movie's boring, honestly, that's a matter of taste. And there's nothing I can think of that everyone likes the taste of. So, from here I should imagine the discussion's over.

I think they need to combine Friday the 13th and Blair witch project in a way that sort of resembles a homemade film by students at a local college, that make a documentary about the legend of camp crystal lake and the events that occurred, most importantly Jason voorhees. They start filming in an abandoned camp (crystal lake) talking about the killings that happened.
They are locked in mysteriously not knowing what they just have done
(entering camp).they are trapped for the night and keep the camera on , and film's the ramains of the camp. They are figuring out ways of escaping .
But during their attempts they are stalked hearing noises that are noticed by one another. Each person is killed one by one, eventually leaving the camera man by himself. Then the end of the movie Jason is revealed to be the killer and kills off the last person in a gruesome way that shows up on the camera trying to defend himself the victim tears of jason's mask (a sack like from part 2) and the camera focuses on Jason's horribly disfigured face, which notices the camera and looks at it and then destroys it. He then drags the body of the last person and the film stops. Leaving it the only evidence of the event
