[QUOTE="spiney, post: 274966, member: 192438"] Yeah! I didn't much like the original, either, couldn't see the point, but at least it WAS the original. Not at all slick, in fact almost incoherent, making it hard to believe Tobe Hooper had anything to do with the extremely slick "Poltergiest". My fave is The Evil Dead, although the tree rape scene is these days usually cut out. A pity, because that's one of the best satirical bits. Pretty much the inspiration for all those (nothing like as good!) later "knowing" (nudge, wink) teen slasher horror movies, like Friday 13th, Scream, etc ...... Evil Dead featured The Necronomicon, H P Lovecraft's fictional creation (a book on necromancy), after seeing which, many people belived it really existed! Of course, not long afterwards, a "translation" got published ..... ! [/QUOTE]
