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)
https://nofspodcast.com/wp-content/u...tchers-gif.gif

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

2. Psycho (1960)
https://i.makeagif.com/media/10-26-2015/bR8n4g.gif

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)
https://68.media.tumblr.com/bfe0cdfb...0vkjo1_500.gif

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)
https://pa1.narvii.com/6379/7caf62ca...a5726cd_hq.gif

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.

A new record number of votes in this tough round...

I feel like some of these could have been the final vote, like Halloween Vs Psycho, and particularly Evil Dead II Vs Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), where ED2 takes the last 3 votes to win a nail biter. Adding the votes, I thought Candyman was going to take Texas Chainsaw, but TCM sweeps the last 4 votes... it's good to have these big votes from a wide variety of Horror aficionados. Elm St takes out perennial favorite Dawn of the Dead. Wouldn't have been shocked if Evil Dead nipped Exorcist, but the masterpiece still haunts.

You all leave me the impossible decision between Halloween and Psycho... two of my favs that are tied 6 to 6. I think Halloween has many fantastically visceral moments especially with sound and music, but I think Psycho is much more precise consistently throughout the film, punctuated with an all-time memorable ending. I vote Psycho.

I've seen both but it's been so long that I don't really remember either. I'm going to get back into both series. I think I remember more from Jaws 3 than anything. But that's just because I remember it was at a Theme Park type location and in 3D.
