II. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7099613/

Ghosthouse (1988)
Umberto Lanzi delivers what was strangely retitled as The Evil Dead III (Unofficial sequel, mind you), with a mixture of supernatural with slasher horror. With strangers that foolishly enter in the deserted house that is haunted by a ghostly girl and her morbid doll. Resulting in meeting their grisly demise. Once lost in VHS obscurity would later be rescued on DVD by Rifftrax, and later on Blu-ray double feat with Witchery by Scream Factory!
Maniac Cop (1988)
We'll we're at the height of the controversy of police brutality and militarization of our law enforcement, let's rip this band aid right off and get with the movie where the slasher villian is a cop. A string of murders resulted in one officer Jack being framed for murder of a female officer. It's up to him to figure out who set him up. While this happens, more people are being murder by a faceless homicidal cop. Bruce Cambell vs. B-Movie star Robert Z'Dar,
Cannibal Girls (1973)
They're young, they're beautiful, and they're very, very sexy. They love every man they meet to death....... And then for dinner. Now who else would direct this exploitation movie involving girls killing and eating men? Well, that would be Ghostbusters director, Ivan Reitman! His film title was even referenced in Ghostbusters II if you have a good eye.
Burnt Offerings (1976)
It's a rare occurrence we would have a very good haunted house movie. A family makes a big mistake moving into a haunted house, it's malevolent spirit hell bent on picking off the family one by one. Can they make it out alive??
The Monster Squad (1987)
What happens when a group of horror fan kids suddenly realize the Monsters have come to bring doom to the world? Well, put a stop to them! Count Dracula groups up with The Wolfman, The Mummy, The Gillman, and lastly, Frankenstein's monster, to retrieve an amulet which Dracula seeks to rule the world. Can the kids put a stop to him in time by testing out Hollywood monster movie tropes? Fred Dekker returns to give us a monster movie that is precisely just right for Halloween. Everything that is a great homage to the classic Monsters we feared. The monsters specially designed by none other than Stan Winston and his crew. Created uniquely to differ and give Universal's famous monsters a modern look! This relic of a movie is definitely important for you to watch. If you haven't seen it yet, sharpen your stakes, load up on silver bullets, binge watch on monster movies, and slip on a "Stephen King Rules!" shirt, you're about to join The Monster Squad!
Radical Remakes: The Evil Dead (2013)
Now, I will always be a worshiper of the original. As it is the most important horror movie ever made. When the remake was announced, yes, I was outraged consider how most remakes in this 2000s era sucks. However, upon seeing it, what I watched was the definition of what a Horror Movie should be. The story is different following a group of teens helping the girl kick her drug habit by going out on vacation at a cabin. Of course, one of the teens discover an ancient and grotesque book-aaaand you get the idea where this is going. After the neat opening movie before the title card, it had a rocky start before it finally picks up where we waited for, and it pays off good.
Hauntingly Obscure: At Midnight I'll Take your Soul! (1963)
It was a matter of time before Brazil finally get themselves their home grown horror movie. Jose Mojica Marins delivers Brazil's first boogeyman Xe Xe Do Caixao, roughly translated, Coffin Joe. The Unholy Undertaker terrorizes the catholic town in brutalizing locals while searching for the perfect woman to bare his child. This film jump way ahead from what most horror movies would do, heavy violence and gore and cruelty. The film would be followed by four sequels, including the latest 2008 film Embodiment of Evil. Replaying Coffin Joe role once again.
Happy Halloween, everyone!
