While I still haven't forgiven them for screwing up what COULD have been really scary in the first movie (scary ass truck, creepy as hell bad guy who looks like a professional wrestler throwing bodies down a sewer pipe), Jeepers Creepers 2 actually accomplished a first in my opinion. The first horror movie sequel to actually be BETTER than the first movie. And mind you, the first movie was creepy as HELL...for the first 45 minutes. The next 30 were so incredibily INNANE as to cause one to want to use a spork to remove one's eyes out of sheer boredom. But that was the first movie. The second one was much better, and featured a veritable buffet of asswipe characters you were just PRAYING would get whacked...you were making a mental list, hoping one would get eaten before the other. In fact, if anything was wrong with this movie, we didn't see ENOUGH of the asswipes get eaten...we just assumed they did because they didn't come back at the end of the movie. Oh, and they killed off the scary busdriver, who IMHO would've made a better 'keep the kids safe' character, only to get eaten later. That would've helped the plot LOTS. That said, there was also a trailer for the remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. 'Based on a True Story'. Oh god. Here we go again. If folks start screaming that their brother was in prison with a guy who was the Real Leatherface, I'm gonna hack up a lung or something. TCM, while being one of the scariest movies to ever come out of the 70s, was NOT exactly as promoted. The writer got the idea after hearing about the freaky old Ed Gein, who liked to dance around in a suit made from the skins of female corpses that he'd dug up. He only killed a few women. Mostly he was a big old freaky whacko! But I digress, and look forward to seeing it anyway. Oh! Speaking of 1970's movies. And they're rereleasing a remastered version of Alien. Folks, this movie was made in 1979. I want you to keep that in mind when you go see it. That is the FUCKING SCARIEST MOVIE of all time. Dude. 1979. Most movies made today don't look that good or keep that much suspension going in a movie with a plot...a simple plot, yes...but I bet you wished YOU had Depends while you were watching it to! I never saw it on the big screen...I was too young when it came out to get someone to take me, but I remember clearly sitting up all night after I rented it when it first came out on VHS...fearing that there might be one of those in my neighbors' skanky swimming pool! And speaking of scary? The ONLY freaking thing on tv? The Chieftains ('Celtic' music) vs watching doctors attempt to remove a 200lb tumor. BLEARGH! Ugh. Looks like we're gonna watch the 200lb tumor after all. The Captain
