A pretty meh group.  I think I saw more than I voted for.  I always felt HOWARD THE DUCK was under-rated, despite it's problems.
If you want to view paradise . . . simply look around and view it!

10/20... new record for me  

big nostalgia soft spot for POLICE ACADEMY 5, I know they're all pretty terrible but I can still watch that one.

JASON TAKES MANHATTAN - always enjoy this. strangely underrated within the F13 franchise I think... ditto Part 5. two of the best entries imo

GHOULIES 2 - trash but better than part 1 and part 3 -- (I'm convinced part 4 was a completely unrelated film that somehow got wedged into the Ghoulies universe at the last minute. I actually like it, but it is never a 'Ghoulies' movie)

Howard the Duck and  Jason Takes Manhattan

I saw Jason Takes Manhattan on tv as a kid

it was so bad it turned me off of horror films for a long while
Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa, Villeneuve - the elite



I believe in the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Only seen JASON TAKES MANHATTAN (awful!), POLTERGEIST III (also awful), TROLL, and ZOMBIE 3.
Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)

Lugosi-"No. Dracula-never ends."

I could be wrong but I don't think Zombie 3 (1988) had an official US release until Media Blasters released it to DVD in the early 2000s? Pretty sure I never saw it on VHS at the rental store back in the day. I do know it was available on VHS in mail order days, usually some european or asian release with burned in subtitles.

Slumber Party Massacre 2 is one of my favorite "maniac with a sharp object runs around killing girls in their underwear" type movies. 

It gets extra points for the killer being a rock and roll black leather jacket wearing greaser with a drill attacked to his electric guitar as a weapon.  He also came out of one of the characters dreams with no explanation who he was or where he came from.  It was just great. 

As a bonus, the back of the case uses a screenshot showing a stuntman in a mask.
