This was a really good time. Reminded me of Lost Boys, Return of the living dead and Gremlins (three movies I love)
Really love this particular vibe, particularly around Halloween. The Monster Squad, The Blob ‘88, Night of the Creeps, and Killer Klowns from Outer Space also fit nicely in this groove.
Love the original Fright Night. Gonna give the 2011 version a try tonight.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I've heard good things.
The remake is great, almost as good as the original
Surprised to see so much Sleepy Hollow hate. I really like it, stunning gothic atmosphere. The script kinda sucks but whatever, that’s a secondary consideration when your movie looks that good and has Ray Park graphically decapitating people

I also have a special little nook of appreciation for that movie in my self. It has a real feel to it.

Sleepy Hollow is great. I remember being blown away by seeing Palpatine in a different role.
