I think your opinion is dead-on, and that's really scary and too, too sad.

I don't think she would have dared speak of it to anyone if she had lived. So many victims are brainwashed into believing that it was brought on by some fault of their own, and/or are too ashamed to report it to the authorities or to anyone at all.

Not to mention but with Sylvia Likens, I believe her parents died while on the road and that's why they never came back to get her. She wasn't even aware of that little fact unless I'm getting it wrong because like I said, this was such a hard read that maybe I'm blocking it out. So had she lived, it's not like she had parents she could tell this story to so really, who would she tell and who would have even believed her except possibly her parents!?

As it stood, even with her death and the subsequent trial, people did not really believe the atrocities that occured in that home not to mention that they were perpetrated by children so young! This was unheard of during that time.

Besides Rob Zombie's Halloween, are there any good horror movies coming out before the end of the year?

Or are there any out now?

Because I'd like to know because I'mgoing in town tomorrow and I need to know which horror movie to get. I haven't bought a horror movie in a while and am craving for one.

So please give me some advice.

Rob Zombie's Halloween wasn't good

Hmm... I thought it was very good.
Not the best of 07' but pretty good.

A quick peek at my release schedule for the rest of the year turns up:

The Evil Dead - Ultimate Edition (12/18)
RZ's Halloween (12/18)
Hatchet (12/18)
Resident Evil: Extinction (1/1)

There are other horror releases, but those are the mainstream ones. I am looking forward to The Evil Dead release as well as the kick ass Blade Runner release on the 18th.

off that list, i'm interested in Hatchet. i'm not buying another Evil Dead. This is what, the 5th or 6th print they've released?

eh, to each his own

ehh... i suppose.

You dunno what you're missin'.

Hatchet is supposed to be pretty good. Nothing new to the genre but apparently capable and has all the requisite gore and some comedy, just nothing to special! Murder Party is definitely worth a purchase if you can find it. I loooooooooved Murder Party!!

December 11th

I'm curious about Hack and Undead or Alive is supposed to be pretty funny. Chris Katan is in it.

i'll be looking for:
Silent Night, Deadly Night (Unrated Intercut Composite Print) (1984)

Spending 20 more bucks on the same movie is not something i'll ever do. If they would include all of this on one set, and stop milking their fanbase dry, then I might buy it.

I think somebody is getting me Halloween, so i'll pass on that.

the Starlight boxed set looks good too.

I would like to check out Death Sentence and Frankenhooker this week.

Frankenhooker looks like the winner this week

Jan. 8th is also the release date for Danny Boyle's Sunshine - it's supposed to be a pretty excellent film. Part sci-fi part horror.

Yeah, that was on the list, but I didn't know if it had any horror elements to it, as it was listed under Sci-Fi.

Supposedly it does have elements of horror, my understanding is that the first half of the movie is sci-fi and the second half totally evolves into horror but since I have not seen it I don't know for sure, but have heard really good buzz about the movie.

Frankenhooker sounds like my kinda movie.

it's pretty funny

Frankenhooker is really funny!!!
