Glad people are catching up with Sleepaway Camp. I watched it a couple of years back on @SloameOcean’s recommendation :+1:

Lots of good songs in movies around this era

This is another one, from The Mutilator

Agreed - great era…

8 straight classics? WTF is this faint praise bullshit?!?

Dark Star - Assault On Precinct 13 - Halloween - The Fog - Escape From New York - The Thing - Christine - Starman - Big Trouble In Little China - Prince Of Darkness - They Live.

Plus he made Someone’s Watching Me for TV during that time…

ahh I haven’t seen Prince of Darkness yet (soon though!) and realllly didn’t like Big Trouble

#688

Prince of Darkness is patchy. Christine good but not sure I’d call it a classic.

#689

I love Prince of Darkness. Saw this when I was way too young to be watching this kind of film and it freaked me out so much. Always hoped there’d be a sequel but I guess that will never happen…

Was bigging up the Hypnogoria podcast on here the other day. He’s got one on The Mutilator. I’ve not listened to it but if it’s as good as his other stuff, it’s probably worth checking out if you’re a fan of the film: https://hypnogoria.libsyn.com/microgoria-82-the-mutilator

Didn’t he do an Elvis tv biopic with Kurt Russel too?

#692

Hi did indeed, but I’ve not seen it. First time working with Kurt Russel though, so the start of a beautiful relationship if nothing else…

#693

Yeah I’ve never seen it either

#694

Same here regards watching it far too young - think I badgered my mum into renting it because I knew it had Alice Cooper in it :grinning: Watched it recently and I think it’s an underappreciated classic.

As for a sequel, it forms part of Carpenter’s ‘Apocalypse Trilogy’ along with The Thing and In The Mouth Of Madness - those three would make for a cheery triple bill :+1:

There’s a few cool moments in Prince of Darkness (the mirror bit especially) but I would say it was lesser Carpenter. Thought it really sagged in some parts.

I really need to see In The Mouth of Madness. From everything I’ve heard about it, I’d imagine it would be exactly my cup of tea…

got so many fond memories of watching Dog Soldiers as a kid, classic sleepover film

the amount of times we rewound the tape to watch the I SAID HIT ME YOU PUSSY bit. fucking love Pertwee, this and Equilibrium in the same year, the man is a british institution.

Yeah. Great atmosphere, some amazing imagery, (needless to say) superb soundtrack, all-round air of creepiness and dread
…but there’s way too many characters and the climactic ‘action’ sequences suffer because of it. And Jack’s sidekick from Big Trouble in Little China gets saddled with some truly awful lines.

First time I ever saw it it was the (brutally) edited version, still sore about it.
