Overworld theme of Terranigma deserves recognition. One of the best of its era alongside the Final Fantasy games and Lufia II.

Yes it's so freakin' good!

Oooooh hard disagree on Cult of Chucky! I found it to be an incoherent slog most of the runtime.

9/10

It would be hard to sum this game up in a paragraph but just the themes, presentation and sheer scope of this game are incredible, with elements of fantasy, horror, & science-fiction forming a near perfect amalgamation. Leaves you with tons of stuff to chew on long after its over.

As you know, this movie is entirely different from the original Cloverfield film. Halfway through this movie, there was a gentleman who stood up and said "Yo, where the dinosaur at?" and then he walked out.

I just think it lacked the satirical tight edge of something like American Psycho. Like, the characters are great but I think the film plays it all very straight, which is fine and I get the comparison totally but it just didn't have the boost I needed to elevate on my list a little higher.

Disneys the legend of sleepy hollow (1949)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGDWSy9Woug

(8/4/9 = 21)

This classic Disney animated film, based on the short story by Washington Irving (and packaged together with The Wind in the Willows), tells the story of Ichabod Crane, a dandy school teacher who moves to the town of Sleepy Hollow and promptly gets himself into the middle of a love triangle between Brom Bones, the town's local ruffian, and Katrina van Tassel, the daughter of a wealthy family.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is one of the most charming, autumnal, and Halloween feeling pieces of media you can experience around October. I think what I love about Sleepy Hollow is how many different genres it encompasses (romance, comedy, horror) while still being, at its core, a heart-pounding story about superstition, fear, and greed. While I personally think the short story does a greater job of descriptively gnawing at those things, there's something to be gleaned from the simplicity of the animated adaptation too.

Ichabod Crane is the protagonist, but not a good person. He's a greedy, gold-digging womanizer with an intense fear of the supernatural. Unlike most Disney protagonists at the time, Crane isn't necessarily likable. His failings make for an interesting contrast to Brom's idealized strength and bravery - but placing us in the shoes of Crane makes Brom out to be this roguish villain. However, it's Crane, who goes after Katrina not exactly for love but for her money, that ultimately suffers a true villain's end.

The film really comes into its own during the Halloween party. There's a jovial air to the event with Brom and Ichabod boyishly competing for Katrina, with Brom eventually discovering Ichabod's superstitions. And like any good Halloween party, Brom sings the tale of the Headless Horseman, who travels the woods of Sleepy Hollow looking to replace his missing head. Ichabod is terrified; even his own vanity and love for fortune isn't enough to belay his fears, as he flees home from the party jumping at every noise that echoes through the forest.

It's actually pretty chilling how purely Ichabod's fears are illustrated in breathtaking intensity in the final minutes of the short, showing how one's mind and the stories it comes up with are almost more frightening than what actually happens. What I love most though is Ichabod's mad dash from the Headless Horseman manages to inject both fear and comedy into the proceedings, which conveys the comical absurdity of his foolish actions and beliefs while also giving Crane a Gothically cruel end, if you believe he died that night. The film doesn't really have a decision either way - just rumor, and appropriately, superstition. The fate of Ichabod ironically fueling the flames of what he was scared of in the first place - and perhaps providing righteous justification for your own superstitious beliefs yourself.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a classic tale no matter how it's told. The film's rich colors & cozy atmosphere giving way to dark terror in the final moments is just what Halloween is made of. It's a story that provides valuable lessons for all ages, introducing us to the true perils of superstition and greed while simultaneously enlivening the very thing it's speaking out against.

What a fucking unnecessary sequel. The first one was a fine, fun film honestly and should've been left on its own.

Icon's out, right?

I realized a few days ago that whoever nominated that probably intended to be from the new Doom games, but in my heart I was saving Doom II demon-launching goat head every time...

I actually nominated him thinking of the Doom II version personally, since that one feels more like a Satan archetype.

Yup will do

Minion (Twisted Metal)

Yeah, nice winner in the side bracket!

Sorry about that @hylianknight3 I was busy tonight. I can get someone for you today or tomorrow if you wish.

Phantasm probably has some of the better sequels of any classic horror franchise too.

I was so surprised by Orphan too! As I said in the horror topic they pulled a Don't Breathe 2 on Esther but it really worked so much better. Movie's pretty damn funny too.

Good to know Dashcam is actually good since I was on the fence about watching it.

Minion (Twisted Metal)

Yessssss Raw, so freakin' good! I kinda feel like watching that again actually; one of the only movies to ever make me actually physically ill!

I'd sell my soul for a Ned Flanders as the Devil trade

Did I hear someone wanted to sell their soul? For Haxan?

That was a very fun contest! Thanks for running it. There ends up being a lot of interesting results when every entry in the contest is liked across the board, however small.

I totally get all the criticism and still thought this film would've been ranked higher.

Ned Flanders

Honestly LiS1 is the only one I really love. They were never able to top the time travel powers.

Yeah I looked up a lot of the spoilers for the rest of the series and I know I didn't miss out on anything. I pride myself on being an RE completionist but I just had the draw the line on this show. These adaptations are just tiring now. It was also pretty laughable how they tried to play this show off as "canon".
