GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

Well, it seems halloween is over. Before I start, picture of me and my zombie costume:

So yeah, that's over, and i'm happy to be off of halloween movies. Few people have requested me to name the best I've seen, so here:

Best zombie movie:
Dawn of the Dead. It was a tough call between this and 28 Days Later, I really do recomend both, but 28 days later involves a lot more other factors. When you get right down to the zombie action, Dawn of the Dead wins it! With it's great setting for an intro, it's set up of survivors, and the twist and turns the story takes, this is what defined zombie movies. Sorry Night of the Living Dead, these zombies are powered by something better than cosmic rays from Venus.

Best Stephen King:
The Mist. I had a lot to choose from, and many wont like my choice here, but oh well. Anyone can make a ghost movie, I was pissed that IT turned out to be nothing but a giant spider in the end (though I loved everything up to that). This however kept a consistant nice feeling of suspense and what's next. It was a monster movie, so not as deep as other stephen king works, but damnit, it was well done.

Best slasher:
Nightmare on Elm Street. Slashers will always be generic, but this man could strike fear into the one place you're supposed to be safe. To be honest, it's slashers that weigh down horror movies as "crap not worth seeing". I really didn't like many of them at all, but of the pile, this one was at least decent. It didn't break trends, it just made something good out of trends.

Best old film:
Psycho. I once heard any argument over what psycho was worse, the Jason kind or the Micheal Myers kind. I jumped in and said "The Norman Bates kind". Is there anything worse than getting stabbed by a believeably psycho man (not just some man who wears a mask and acts crazy) dressed like his mother stabbing the people paying him to be at his motel?

Best misc:
Shaun of the Dead. This is a hillarious take on the zombie apocolypse that in some ways, is even more believable than most of them. Best part about it is, the zombies aren't changed to be funny, the situation is set up just like dawn of the dead, what's hillarious is the witty set up of characters.

Favorite movie I saw:
Sweeney Todd. Getting together with my brother, he and I agreed, this was the best. All the random musicals, the crazy theme, the beautiful art. This isn't a movie for everyone, but it was definetly a movie for me. People have turned a lot of things into scary people, but now even going to shave is a flash back to horror. Now if you don't mind, I'm sick of horror movies. I need some good action in my diet.

On a side note, I'm hating gamespot more and more each day. Where's the reviews? Why is cl&ssic and stile banned words? Why is my blog and my signature options so laggy?

Halloween was really slow, and had only 4 deaths. Halloween 3 was terrible. 2 I would agree is better but I didn't see that one over this october.

And anyone can make a cool ghost story, it takes a real pro to get rid of all the cheesiness and make an amazing monster movie.
