There's two sequels. The 2nd one is a slasher musical that has it's own share of fans. Then you have the Sorority House Massacre series which is basically the same movie and uses footage from the original Slumber Party Massacre. The 3rd Sorority House Massacre movie is a rip off of Die Hard.
Are you mind fucked yet?

I watched Sorority House Massacre 2 and Hard to Die with my grandpa when I was a kid.
They're both full of titties but he didn't give a fuck.

No I was aware of the first two. The first sequel I find stupidly funny when the killer starts breaking into song. No I mean I didn't realized their was a recent sequel. Which sounds like woke trash.

I got around to seeing Halloween Kills, I thought the 2018 one was decent but Kills comes across like a filler episode in an anime series. They should've just filmed two movies and been done with it or they even could've ended it with the 2018 one if they felt inclined to do so.
It had potential to be much better especially with some of the changes @Internet War Criminal suggested but the rushed nature of it makes it feel like The Hobbit trilogy.

Halloween Kills has the exact same set-up problem that doomed Resurrection, which was Michael fuckin' died at the end of the previous movie.
Does nobody else remember Halloween H20? They brought back Jamie Lee Curtis, brought back other actors for cameos, they tied up the loose ends, it was a little bit on the meta side (that was the era, thanks Scream) it was budgeted and shot well, and overall was a good capstone that completed Laurie's arc with satisfaction. Then it had to go and make a shit-ton of money.
Thus the horrible sequel with Laurie being killed in an asylum, Busta Rhymes doing karate, and a painfully dated streaming video concept came into being. What a terrible movie.
Same issue here, the emotional and character arcs are stuck in a nearly episodic loop where we keep seeing them accomplish their goal...until the next movie where everything resets. It's just unsatisfying.

Sorority House Massacre 2 is the apex of cheeseball slasher movies. It's even more "exactly what you'd expect" than all the other movies with titles like that.
Slumber Party Massacre 3 is interesting (sort of) because it has possibly the most retarded victims of any slasher movie. Among other things, a group of them just stand around in the next room watching while one of their friends gets slowly murdered. They don't fight back or run away or say "please stop doing that" or anything. I think it's a problem with the editing or something, because even in a movie that goofy I doubt they'd have scripted something so dumb.
Near as I can remember, every single Halloween sequel has had to undo the ending of the prior one, or else ignore the previous movies altogether. Even H2 changes the ending of H1.

Reviews for the last two days, before I get on with tonight's movie:
The Final (2010) is the story of some malignant nerds who can't take a beating or bullying like a normal person, and resort to torturing the bullies who made their lives hell by pointing out they were nerds worth bullying. Acting is absolute shit, and you can tell the writer/director was cryjerking when typing this story
Meander (2020) some French dude saw Cube and was like 'Lez make eet, buht vit only vone acteress and its in a rectangul inzted of a sqvare. GEENYUS'. It might not be genius, but it's great especially if you are claustrophobic, and thankfully the dialogue is minimal (and half in English). Really worth a watch. 4/5
Tonight I'm not sure, but I might go for The Sightseers

Has anyone seen the new Chucky series? I gave it a go since the first two episodes are up for free on youtube and holy shit it's awful, with the exception of Brad Dourif the acting is atrocious, the characters are all retarded and behave in ways that just make no sense whatsoever, even by horror standards. The second episode is already foreshadowing the return of Chucky's genderspecial kid from Son of Chucky so I'm probably gonna stop here before seeing how this franchise sinks to new levels of shit.
It's a shame too, I liked Curse of Chucky and felt kinda bad for Don Mancini after no one consulted him about the Child's Play remake but then he just went full retard again with Cult of Chucky and this new series.

My October dues are all paid up...
21) Terror Creatures from the Grave (1965) - Poe-inspired Barbara Steele movie. Pretty racy stuff for the 1960s. There's a gore shot of intestines that probably wouldn't have been allowed in an R-rated American film in the 1980s. If you advance frame-by-frame you might even see some black-and-white nip. Not nearly as artful as Black Sunday or Nightmare Castle.
22) Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism (1967) - Beginning to think these movies have an anti-capital punishment moral to them. Do not execute criminals, even if they worship Satan or bathe in the blood of virgins or whatever, or they absolutely will return from the grave and exact their revenge, no exceptions. The movie looks great, like Hammer meets Italy (it's German), but plot's almost too dopey even for me. Christopher Lee plays the villainous Count Regula... must've taken them all night to come up with that one. Great imagery, great music, but all the talking parts really need help.
23) Zombie Holocaust (1980) - Rewatched this zombie/cannibal mashup for first time in ages; somehow, this movie has stuck with me, and hell if I could tell you why. The image of a stunt double dummy's arm breaking off by accident is surely unforgettable. The plot: a rash of cannibal immigrant attacks in New York prompts a party of doctors to travel to a mysterious island and investigate. I do not know why this is their job. Some of the gore effects are fantastic. If only the corpses didn't blink. Eventually we learn that a mad scientist is taking the brains out of zombies and putting them into other zombies to create a race of super-zombies, or something. The zombies don't kill anyone: it seems the so-called "zombie holocaust" never happened.
24) The Werewolf and the Yeti (1975) - Paul Naschy is lost in the Himalayas. Two werewolf women have sex with him and turn him into a werewolf as well. Then he gets captured by bandits and their female leader tries to have sex with him, but he resists. Only his true love, who he also has sex with, can cure free him from his curse. Features a werewolf/yeti fight and a lot of nods to the Universal wolfman movies, especially Werewolf of London.
25) Exorcism (1974) - The Exorcist was okay, but this film demonstrates how it would have been way better if the girl was a little older and better-looking and participated in Satanic orgies. Playing against type, Paul Naschy portrays a celibate priest.
26) Doctor Butcher, M.D. (1980) - This is just the American cut of Zombie Holocaust. I thought it would be more different. It seems like American audiences demanded a much shittier soundtrack plastered over the old one, and there's some generic zombie footage before the opening credits (recycled from an unreleased American film) that has nothing to do with anything, and that's about it for changes. btw it's redundant to use both "Doctor" and "M.D." at the same time, you're supposed to pick one or the other. That was a running gag on Garth Marhengi's Darkplace, like, the joke being that the writer is a dumbass for not knowing this, so it's not a great sign that the distributor did it unironically.
27) The Devil's Possessed (1974) - Paul Naschy stars as an insane nobleman who sacrifices young women to Satan, but only after having sex with them. There's also a band of Merry Men revolutionary bandits out in the forest, and this movie has more swordfighting than horror, but the swordfighting is actually really good.
28 ) Puppetmaster: Axis Termination (2017) - Probably the least-worst and most eventful of Puppetmaster's "Axis trilogy" but good grief I don't even care anymore. Starts off by establishing that nothing from the last two movies even mattered. Why have all these characters with German and Russian accents, when the actors can't do them?
29) A Dragonfly for Each Corpse (1975) - Paul Naschy stars as the most straightforwardly heroic detective you're likely to see in a giallo. He's married in this one, so he only has sex with his wife - in fact, he turns down a prostitute.
30) The Wolf Man (1941) - There was a full moon, so I tossed this on. How come Bela Lugosi turns into a regular wolf, but Lon Chaney turns into a wolf man?
31) Hunchback of the Morgue (1972) - Paul Naschy plays the hunchback, a lowly, hated, outcast freak of nature mocked and despised by society... who has sex with a beautiful woman. Yes, even in this role, Naschy's character is still somehow an unfettered god mode self-insert mary sue. His characer is forced to procure raw materials for a Frankenstein-like mad scientist who promises to revive the hunchback's deceased one-itis. Actually, this movie is completely insane and thoroughly entertaining. TW: actual cruelty to rodents.
32) Brain Damage (1988 ) - Only on my 20th viewing of this masterpiece do I notice that this is that rarest of horror movies where the black dude dies first.

Watched American Werewolf In London. This movie always had a special place in my heart because this was my mom's favorite movie and had a poster of it. As a kid it scared me. On top of that, my favorite song in my teens was by The Browns called an American Werewolf In Calgary. This movie has been a part of my life for a while.
I want to explain that despite this I have never seen the movie until now. This movie came out in 1981 and fuck, the effects still look astounding. The transformation scene was fucking disgusting.
By far the worst part was seeing the Ghost of the backpacker in the hospital. This isn't a typical ghost, this is the soul of a man that looks exactly like how he died. Muscles can bee seen under exposed flesh and all.
The entire scene of the first attack is built perfectly and is actually dread inducing.
I rate it a 8 out of 10.
And for a fun story, I texted my mom that I finally watched this and shared a funny story. My mom and dad went on a date to this movie. My father is six foot two and was an amateur boxer at the time. My mom asked if he'd get scared and he said "it's only a movie. "
Apparently my dad is full of shit and ran out of the movie after the subway scene and vomited outside the theater.

Body Parts (1991) - A somewhat unremembered but solid horror film, starring Jeff Fahey. Features an automobile chase complete with "ill advised but still cool practical car stunts".

I accidentally rented this one. I meant to rent Body Bags, the anthology horror film with John Carpenter as a host, but came home with this one. I was pleasantly surprised. It's easily the best killer hand movie. When I returned it I then immediately rented Body Bags and was supremely disappointed.
Incident in a Ghostland. I hate to say it, it starts out really well, but it completely lost me when it subverted expectations and then subverted the subversion. You can only pull the rug out from under the audience so many times before they stop caring. 6/10

I didn't even know there was a remake.
I saw the first Sorority House Massacre last week. It was worth it alone for the 80s wardrobe. There's even a scene where they try on a vacationing roommate's wardrobe then proceed to eat all her ice cream.
It has that typical "Somebody warns everyone how dangerous this mental patient is but no one tries to stop him until it's too late" thing going on. It was like Halloween but with a psychic connection. Plus the dream kids reminded me of the ones in Elm Street.
That one guy seemed totally unfazed that his girlfriend just got hacked up in a teepee.

Body Count AKA Camping Del Terror. The mid-late 80's onwards was not a good time for Ruggero Deodato and he tries his hand at the great American slasher film with this entry. I want to say that I've seen it before but I can only briefly remember the opening scene and that David Hess is barely in it so I don't consider this to be a re-watch. The gore is very average and light on sleaze and nudity. It's a very average slasher with nothing of note except for the casting of David Hess. The mask on the killer is okay. But it's kind of cozy in it's averageness. Making for decent background noise if you enjoy slashers set in the woods. It's still better than absolute bottom of the barrel garbage like Evil Laugh or Memorial Valley Massacre AKA Son of Sleepaway Camp.

The only things memorial valley massacre has going for it is the killer is unique in that he's essentially a killer caveman and that some versions splice in clips from porn for sex scenes.(which I only know based on an old episode of the Cinema snob reviewing way back when)
