Exhumed Films' 25 Hour Horror-Thon 2008 Part 2

7:55pm: "That's right... it's only a dream!"


5th Feature: Phantasm II (1988)

Quite a departure from its 1979 predecssor Phatasm II had a bigger budget, a recasted Mike and a tonal shift towards action. I love this flick! It also features the best on-screen chainsaw duel from a movie that doesn't include "chainsaw" in the title.

9:30pm:
Previews of coming attractions for: Frogs, Night of the Lepus, Night of Dark Shadows, The Exorcist, Friday the 13th, Friday the 13th Part 3, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3, Last House on the Left.

9:45pm: "One, two, Freddy's coming for you."

6th Feature: A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

A slasher classic. Nuff' said.

11:20pm:
Classics Dark and Dangerous short film Mannikin (1977)

11:45pm: "You're so cool, Brewster!"

7th Feature: Fright Night (1985)

Proud to say that I called this as one of the films that would be shown. Fun vampire flick that features the great Roddy McDowall and a perfectly cast Chris Sarandon.

1:30am: "Welcome to Potters Bluff"

8th Feature: Dead and Buried (1981)

Featuring a script penned by Alien scribes Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett, Dead and Buried might have you avoiding small towns after viewing. This incredibly effective movie really succeeds after the reveal.

2:05am (clocks turned back at 2am):
Previews of coming attractions for: Spirits of the Dead, Terror-creatures of the Dead, Black Sunday, Beyond the Door, The Ghost, Blood and Black Lace, Schizoid, Demons, Suspiria.
