The happy birthday vhs always used to scare my ass along with demons vhs cover.
I thought Zombies Halloween 2 was even worse than the first one. The movie was just pure shytty filmmaking from top to bottom.
I'm a total Zombie apologist, aside from House of 1000 Corpses. I like the small things, like how the best friend's face is still covered in scars from the attack on her in the first movie. Brad Dourif, great as always. The use of "Nights in White Satin" as a musical motif. Ending the movie with "Love Hurts" felt like a real punch in the gut when I first saw it. It's all a collection of stuff Rob Zombie likes but it all comes together into a messy film, which I think works fine for a movie about broken scarred people.
I still think the best thing he's done is Lords of Salem. Turns out he's good at channeling Polanski.

Fun fact: Slumber Party Massacre's screenwriter was feminist writer Rita Mae Brown. The way she wrote it, it was a parody of slasher flicks. The producers wanted to play it more straight. As a result, the movie comes across as both a parody and a straight slasher.
I hated everything he did in both of those movies especially his music choices...his use of "Love Hurts" was so cheesy and amateurish. The Annie character was full on exploitation in both movies. She was used to titillate in the first film (Look everybody! This child star is all grown up and hot now! Look at her titties!) and then her murder in the second film was just an exercise in directorial self-indulgence.
And all that being said, Lords of Salem was even worse than his two Halloween movies.
I am not a Zombie fan for the most part in case you couldn't tell. The only one of his movies I enjoyed in any way was The Devil's Rejects.
SSM is one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies.

what yall know about shot on video slashers though?
The way I see it, Halloween is different from, say, Friday the 13th in that where Jason hates teenagers and all the shyt they do, Michael Myers laments the fact that kids have to lose their innocence and grow up in a world filled with terrible adults. Zombie casting a former child star who was also in previous Halloween movies works on that level, I think. There's also something to be said with how Zombie chooses to have the actors portray their death scenes, with them crying, screaming and crawling, almost as if they've regressed back to babies. It's a slasher movie so the way that people die is pretty important, of course.
But I recognize that I'm in a minority when it comes to Zombie's movies, especially his Halloweens.
When I first heard about Slumber Party Massacre, on paper it sounded like some really interesting shyt. I mean, it's still good but I built it up in my head to be something else. Never seen the sequels though.

VHS movies looked like shyt.. but in a wierd way they add to the violent parts of the movie... the fact that shyt wasn't as clear as Blu Ray, HD or even DVD formant somewhat added to the grimyness to the violence to me when I was younger.
Also.. the covers for the movies were always creepy as fukk back them.. I remember being able to just walk in those stores and pretty much rent any thing outside of the little room with the Porn flicks in them with no problems.... long before they started enforcing the R rating bullshyt....
