We have a lot of fun with those. And yes, Karl Urban is approaching Norris-level in our eyes.<br /><br />I've got It Follows in my queue as well. I can't wait to give it a try.<br /><br />JD - great idea to revisit Elm Street, too. And Christopher Lee!

Watching Halloween makes me curious about other first movies in horror franchises. I'll take JD's recommendation and try out the first Nightmare on Elm Street (also available at my library and no wait to get it!). <br /><br />It looks from the labels like Karl Urban is the Joseph R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13747631029262485742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9005065286385049850.post-81300448846309903762015-10-23T13:14:10.428-05:002015-10-23T13:14:10.428-05:00The Devil Rides Out has been on my list since I re...The Devil Rides Out has been on my list since I read about it when Christopher Lee died.

But that's because Craven, like Carpenter, weren't just making mindless slasher movies, they were trying to make movies centered on a boogie man that had to be stopped. Crosses actually hurt Freddy Kruger, for instance, is that well JD Cowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03548340507655076198noreply@blogger.com
