Black Christmas (1974)

I really think this is a movie that's best watched late at night during the colder months, not in the middle of a sunny summer day - there's no other reason I can come up with for why I didn't like it as much as I did the first and last time I saw it.

Of course, a big reason I liked the movie the first time I watched it was due to my initial exposure to the killer's insane ravings and the emotional reactions they inspired; knowing what to expect may have diluted it for me this time around.

Prince of Darkness (1987)

Definately one of Carpenter's best made movies; there's only two things I'd change - I wouldn't have shown the Anti-God (that glimpse of a stereotypical red devil hand really tainted the mystique of the entity) and I probably would have dropped that bit about Jesus being an alien.

Dawn of the Dead (1978)

This movie is - to put it bluntly - overindulgent, overlong, and overrated. Hell, I won't even stop there; this was even worse than Land of the Dead, and it has just as much reason to exist - namely, none.
