the running man was so awful it was brilliant. just look at all the one-liners coming from that film.

my particular favourite was 'that hit the spot'

"Hey Christmas Tree!!" Or "Sub Zero, now plain zero." Arnie's one-liners are terribly funny.

my all time one-liner though is from christopher lambert in highlander; "hey! it's a kind of magic"


sorry, i'll stop hi-jacking the thread now.

Haha. Looks like WE just about had the same thought. It was a toss-up for me between Hellraiser and Nightbreed.

and sho nuff, i was also thinking about 'rawhead rex'! if ever there was a movie i would have no problem with getting re-made, it would be the one starring that particular 7.5 foot flesh-eating phallic symbol. it was a terrible terrible film wasn't it, and such a good short story. books of blood weren't it? jesus i read a lot of barker now that i think about it, everything up to imajica anyway.. his tapping the vein comic books were AWESOME. if any director ever needed pre-made storyboards, look no further..

and thanks Aylmer, i fecked up the book's name, 'the hellbound heart' of course, of course. memory and motor skills fading these days!

Volume 3. Any story were the monster pisses on a priest as a baptism deserves to be retold. Scared the shit out of me.

"Queen of The Damned" was transitional murder. I'm not sure about the best because I'm afraid of books most of the time.

Yea how can you go from Interview w/a vampyre to that, good book with a film that was horribly executed.

best i can remember is Christine, the worst by FAR is "IT"
