Best out of the 3: Halloween, Friday the 13th, or Nightmare on Elm Street?

Nothing will be better than the original, but I like Rob Zombie's remake too.

I like the remake too. At least he stuck to the story with a little more added backround. But the second was just a piece of poo and shouldn't have been called Halloween 2, a lot like Halloween3: Season of the Witch.

As much as I like Nightmare on elm Street, and a original as the concept is, I've got to go with Halloween.

There may not be a scarier scene in cinema history than the scene when they are driving to the the mental hospital and all the patients are wandering around outside in the middle of the night. To me, that's a thousand times scarier than one of those "Boo!" moments where the murderer suddenly pops out. It's terrifying in a very subtle, Hitchcockian way, because if you were in that situation you'd be thinking, "How many escaped? Who escaped? What's going on inside the hospital? What happened to the staff? If we see them, where are the others we don't see? Are they all around me?"

Wonder what John Carpenter could have done if he'd have had Rob Zombie's budget.

"Halloween" was made on a shoestring (true of more than one Carpenter movie, honestly).

That's the beauty of some of these older films. Without a decent budget, filmmakers had to resort to -- gasp! -- great stories, direction and action.

Any of you guys who didn't have the fanciest toys as a kid should be able to relate. We didn't have cardboard boxes -- we had spaceships, cars and forts. When you don't have money, you're forced to work that much harder to make a film (or toy) work.

Very true. "Jaws" was actually made better because they couldn't do everything they wanted to do.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
