awakened us from our ancient slumber?
... like the others before you,
one by one, we will take you


#23. the Evil Dead

I think Sleepy Hollow is decent, and Shaun of the Dead is very good, not seen any of the 'Dead' films yet. This should be a very interesting list to follow, I look forward to what you have coming up

The Evil Dead is one of my favorite horror films. I strongly prefer it to it's sequels and the remake.

I really liked Shaun of the Dead and haven't seen Sleepy Hollow.





Mr Vincent, i've seen all of your films,
and i found them... very amusing!

and says his prayers by night

may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms,
and the autumn moon is bright

Love Night Of The Living Dead and Dracula. Really like Poltergeist, while I like, but never saw the cult appeal of Fright Night.
