Only 9.

...oh hang on we're not playing that game 


EMPIRE OF THE ANTS and DAY OF THE ANIMALS... I'll never stop watching those 2 on a regular basis. Top drawer bad movies


also 3 movies from William Girdler in there... I think he might've gone on to be a major director in the 80s. Maybe even a Spielberg (or a b-movie version of)

Wow, there are some very GOOD movies on most of those bad movies lists!  Maybe that's just my questionable taste...

However, I've only seen one selection (iirc) from Rev's unseen list... near the bottom (worst of the worst):
>>>Dark Harvest II: The Maize (2004)

.......Shot about 25 minutes from my house... pretty Bad bad indeed....... and it's not even that director's worst film!

[RCMerchant]

^ I thought Rev's pick HALLOWEEN 3 was a great movie, and the only good HALLOWEEN sequel.

[zombie no.one]

ABBY (1974) was a Girdler movie I listed!

oh yes. one of his I haven't seen...

[Rev. Powell]

^ I thought Rev's pick HALLOWEEN 3 was a great movie, and the only good HALLOWEEN sequel.

I think it's a good movie too, but I think it's generally considered part of the bad movie universe. IMDb rating is 5.1, which is well below average.

[zombie no.one]

I get 'tv movie' vibes from part 3

seeing as I'm too lazy to pick 31 films, here's my ranking of the HALLOWEEN franchise

PART 2 (ooh controversial)
PART1 (slightly overrated but still really good)
PART 5 (mad and bad)
RESURRECTION (utterly stupid but quite fun)
PART 4 (just about okay enough to be watchable)
PART 3 (original but a tad repetitive)
H20 (bland but watchable)
THE CURSE OF (directionless and weak)
HALLOWEEN 2018 (not what I wanted from a comeback)
BOTH ROB ZOMBIE ONES (just horrible)

not seen: KILLS, ENDS

[RCMerchant]

^ What did you think of Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN?
I liked the poor white trash vibe.

[zombie no.one]

I respect that he did his own thing with them, but I found them both totally awful... unwatchable. 2nd one especially.

Sadly I might have to do only 13 Films for Halloween this year due to a new job with little time off.

I'm also taken back when you post a picture of yourself, RC.  I always picture you in my head as looking like a later in his life Bela Lugosi.
