Halloween Movie Reviews 2003The meadhall tradition of the October horror review marathon began in 2003. Since later seasons would be known as Halloween Horrorama I, II, III, etc., you can just pretend this is a cash-in prequel to later, cooler Octobers.
If you are a complete idiot, you will not read more.

I kicked the review into the river. HAHAHA Clive Barker's above-underground horror franchise exploring the underpinnings of urban myth returns with a 3rd installment, at least on cable. This series, in addition to having some of the best locations for the genre, has many academic statements to make, and really, have you ever slammed a film for exploring the underpinnings of anything? Huh uh.
The dynamic duo take on the gizzliest beast of them all. Come on, Vampires vs Werewolves? You had to see the semi high score coming. Combined with ancient blood feuds, twisting conspiracies, cool punk gothic universe, and some badass blood transfusion type stuff it's almost inevitable. Of course the movie gets points docked for copying off of things in the White Wolf universe, not that that's a bad place to copy from, but they don't even admit it! There are some holes here and there, nothing gaping or hard to accept, mostly it's just things that are obviously setups for the oh so obvious sequel that will come out. Some vixen vampire is still after a magical black cross that would allow it to walk in the daylight. Vampire hunters are dispatched and rehashed hijinks ensue. |

Trying to remember what I thought of the Tekken anime movie...they made a few interesting changes, but it was pretty forgettable. Schweitzer - January 6, 2009 Comic Classics: "Pride and Prejudice" Hmmm... Somehow PBS stretched that out to 300 minutes? Must be a lot of fluff. Furor Thompsonicus - January 4, 2009 Comic Classics: "Pride and Prejudice" And Furor never Painted again. Nicely done. unspeakable - January 4, 2009 Comic Classics: "Pride and Prejudice" If only Austin was more like this, we might not have ever had that whole Feminine Victorian Literature debacle.
