But Freddy’s revenge also had exploding parakeets and Freddy running around a pool party yelling “BOO!”. As a standalone movie regarding its subtext, it’s unique. But as a NoES entry, it’s terrible. Part 3 is the true canonical sequel that perfectly bookends the core Freddy mythology. Nancy and her father must return…

I would just like to gripe that the new Candyman was bad and incoherent. 

I don’t know about that the next match ups are Halloween vs Psycho, Friday the 13th vs Scream, A Nightmare on Elm Street vs Child’s Play/Chucky, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre vs Hellraiser. Both Halloween and Psycho have gone this far based on the merits of the original while the sequels/remakes have all sucked but…

The bracket is wisely set up so that The Big Four (Jason, Freddy, Michael, Leatherface) are a foregone conclusion, at which point a Freddy vs Jason scenario is more or less unavoidable. But like any good slasher series, the predictability is part of the fun!

Unpopular opinion: Halloween feels like the dad rock of horror films nowadays. I watched a double feature of Halloween and Texas Chainsaw Massacre at the theatres last year, audience was full of excitable uni kids and others expecting a fun camp (date) time. This persisted all the way through Halloween - everyone…

Most of these are correct. Then again, there was a lot of chaff in there that shouldn’t have survived the first round of culling: Leprechaun, Slumber Party Massacre, Silent Night Deadly Night. So a lot of tonight’s eliminations are no-brainers.

I give Jeepers Creepers credit for its great tagline:

No! Black Christmas is amazing, the original film does so much with so little that it negates the other versions! So creepy. Please rethink this!

The Friday movies are relatively consistent, but that’s a low bar they are clearing. Just mostly interchangeable, cheap-ass, crap-ass movies.

Too high: Succession, 10. Too soon.

That’s just a timing issue. kind of how the Stone Roses made it so high in the British music press’ “top of all time” lists in the early 90s

I don’t know if Making a Murderer had much international interest?

I’ve seen a total of 17 shows from this list, and the entire series of only seven. I feel like I’m missing a lot of really good TV, especially considering how much I enjoyed the ones I have seen.

It was nice to see Planet Earth on the list.

IMO shows which aren’t done shouldn’t even be ranked. They could easily have a huge drop in quality in later seasons.

OK, that definitely sounds like my thing. I’ve read & seen The Road dozens of times, it’s one of my all-time favorites, so I am very much a person who connects with constant misery in my leisure time.

I mean, it didn’t do that well in the regular era. Good word of mouth kept it barely alive, but it skated along as a bubble show right up until a third season cancellation.  

I thought I would have seen more shows, but I clocked in at 30 watched all the way through, with another 10 or so that I would say I watched until the quality plummeted. Clearly, I’ve got some work to do.

It's good, possibly great, but it's WAY too early to say it's a top 10 show.

I watched the very first episode and tuned out because of Kieran Culkin’s character. I was already watching Billions and I couldn’t put up with another rich douche bag, asshole.

Legend of Korra is...rough. It covers a lot of ground, but never feels as tightly plotted and well thought out as atla
