MADE YOU LOOK!
Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) there will be no comedy marathons here!
Here, we are all about the dark and creepy stuff.
I had the day off, woke up early, ran some errands, got what I needed to take care of done and out the way, and decided to break in the new month with one of those long Netflix marathons I tend to do every once and a while. My heart was set on doing an 80's slasher marathon, but I wanted to do so, avoiding Jason, Michael Myers and Freddy, thus making the marathon more challenging and interesting.
I had a lot of fun ... and now that the marathon has concluded, I figure I'd post the results.

I Really enjoyed this movie. (hadn't seen it in a long long time) This was truly one of the last good slashers of the 80's. The movie starts good, and finishes very strong, with a nice twist (or two) in there as well. The acting isn't great, but it never really is in these types of movies ... who watches slashers for the acting?

The Burning is a camp slasher much like Friday the 13th. It's a pretty good underrated movie, having in my opinion, one of the best slasher kill scenes of all-time. (the scene where he takes out the kids on the raft) I also thought it was cool how some of the other characters (besides the main characters) made it through the film ... usually everyone outside of the main character(s) dies.

I'm on a roll with these slashers. I enjoyed this one also. Ultimately, this movie is about some creepy guy going around killing folks in a military uniform, which sounds like your typical slasher to me. (it actually has a pretty solid back story) Some of the closeup shots of the murders looked pretty real. (great jog special effects team)

Title: My Bloody Valentine

I'm really diggin' the back story (the tale of Harry Warden) in this movie. The miners outfit makes for a great slasher character . Although I enjoyed this movie, I thought the last 30 minutes or so kind of dragged. I actually saw the 2009 remake before I got a chance to see the original, and ended up liking them both.

Conclusion
In all, I had a very long, interesting movie watching day, and I had a lot of fun doing it! You'd figure by now, I'd be all "slashered" out ... interestingly enough, I'm far from it. I may throw in another one before hittin' the sake.
Anyways...
