This movie was actually originally intended to be a TV show. That's why they have elements like "Zombie kill of the Week" in it. I think this would have gotten old as a TV show, but works very well as a movie.
Between 1 and 2 they did a pilot with a different cast for some streaming platform... and it didn't get made because they picked a political sit-com from the guy that did Dunesberry.
Very possible, but knowing what type of movies Cassie watched before starting this channel, I'm guessing she's recognizing Abigail Breslin as Ryan Reynolds' daughter in Definitely, Maybe.
Cassie, I am so glad you reviewed this movie! I was actually a Zombie extra in the amusement park scene later on. That was one of the coolest things I have ever gotten to do. Fun fact: Those scenes were not filmed in Alberta but they were in Valdosta, Georgia. Enjoy, everyone!
"It's a comedy it can't be that scary right? I'm like a pro now." 2 minutes in "I really don't want to see anymore. " I love how you are able to put yourself into the characters shoes. It makes your channel the best reaction channel I've seen.
Zombieland is one of my ALL-TIME favorite movies. Considering the cast... I'm always surprised that people are "SURPRISED" at how good this movie is. Glad you gave it a chance.
I love how Cassie’s become that “group project” friend where everyone tries to desensitise them to horror/gore 😂 Was Warm Bodies on the horror lite list? I feel that’s a zombie flick Cassie would like.
Someone needs to start a "Who's so and so" list for her reactions, lol. Between "Who's Van Halen?" and "Who's He-Man?" (from her Ghostbusters 2 reaction)... I feel like there have been a lot more of these that would hurt my vintage 1980's heart. 🤣
The opening credits with Mettalica's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has to be one of the best openers. Cass, your astonishment at the gore and kills is always entertaining lmao
29:23 Believe it or not, this movie started out as a film adaptation of the video game "Left 4 Dead" which is a four player first person shooter taking place in a zombie apocalypse and had the same atmosphere as this movie. The L4D adaptation evolved into Zombieland.
This movie reminds me of Shaun of the Dead That's how good the first zombieland is same for the second one when we had to wait 10 years for it to come out still a really good sequel for what it was! ❤️
I like the Frighteners but feel it is not for Cassie. She should seriously take a gummy before watching that. Not my fave MJ Fox film but not the worst, that would be Bright Lights.
I 100% agree with you waiting 10 years for the sequel was worth it still a good sequel not as good as I thought it would be for the sequel but I saw both movies in theater the first one and the second one totally worth it no matter what bottom all day one on 4K disc for my movie collection this movie reminds me for the first one of Shaun of the Dead like a cult classic❤
The first one may be the best but the sequel was still a blast and it was so great seeing this cast/characters back together on the big screen. A worthy sequel and a good time even if the first is better
Funny thing about Woody Harrelson, when he played on Cheers ('80's sitcom) his character actually said that Snoballs were the best and proceeded to put a whole one in his mouth. I've always wondered if his character hating Snoballs in this movie was a node at that.
"Oh my god. What did I just watch and why did I like it?" Because it's hilarious and has a heart. "I don't know if I'm ready for this... It's still September." Now why didn't the filmmakers find a space for THAT line in their movie? Commentaries are just as good!
The scene where Columbus realizes that Buck was not a puppy but a little boy was so surprisingly moving for a film like this. Marvelously played by Woody Harrelson.
In 2002 I saw Woody Harrelson in London, and he refused to give me his autograph. 😕During his 2-month stay in London he wore a motorcycle helmet every day so photographers couldn't take pictures of him. 😂
Fun Fact: Patrick Swayze was offered a cameo role as a zombie before his cancer diagnosis. His scene would have parodied other Patrick Swayze movies like "Ghost" and "Dirty Dancing". Zombie cameo roles were also offered to Joe Pesci, Mark Hamill, Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Bacon, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Matthew McConaughey. Also, Zombieland is a love letter to zombie movies. It embraces the fandom around it along with the troupes and "rules" of the genre. It's the zombie equivalent to the original "Scream".
I knew this would be a good one for you and you didn't disappoint!!! You got it exactly, over the top gore but so exaggerated and with the humor you don't take it seriously, and the cast, ABSOLUTELY!! First class all the way. Loved it.
NO ONE ever knows The Frighteners! You may be my new best friend. You are literally the 3rd person I've ever met that already knew that film. "met." DEEPLY underrated and unknown film. It's got Michael J Fox in it for crying out loud. Directed by Peter Jackson no less! And Sean Astin's dad John Astin.
This movie is like a concert. High Energy from the beginning to the end, with a bit of relax in the middle. One of my favorites for this season. Is fun as hell.
Adventureland is outstanding. A film that references semiotics, Melville and Trotsky, and has Husker Du and Yo La Tengo on its soundtrack. As always, Martin Starr steals the show.
"I avoided people like they were zombies before they were zombies. And now that they're zombies, I kinda miss people." That hits differently during and after 2020.
I dunno about you, but nothing changed for me during the pandemic. I stayed home most of the time, I went to work every day since they refused to go work from home, I ventured out to the grocery store every couple weeks to scavenge for something edible... Nothing has changed since then either, I just spend even more time alone at home. It's relaxing, and when I need human interaction, I can go on social media and talk to my friends. People who need more than that are weird.
"What did I just watch and why did I like it?" My sentiments exactly. I think it had as much to do with Cassie's commentary and reactions as it did with the movie.
I had heard the title of this movie many times but never actually knew what it was about; seeing that you had a reaction to it made me decide to watch it, and gotta say I don't regret it cause this movie was a trip!
Zombie movies that are really good are highly underrated. Most people think its just blood/gore and violence. But the real deep ones reflect on life and who they are as person. Its take the end of world and having no where to run or hide to face themselves. Unlike other horror movies its a waiting game and the monster isn't chasing all the time. Its great and tragic because some reveal that they would be selfish and cold hearted at the end while in normal life they may be opposite happy caring people. And others who have not been good people or made mistakes are willing to self sacrifice and do the right thing when it matters most.
Tallahassee is basically the way most people play zombie video games. Zombie massacres including an interesting choice of weapons and searching for rare loot in his case a Twinkie.
I don't think I've ever seen you more happy than breaking into Bill Murry's house. ...followed by a close 2nd when he finally got to put Emma Stones hair behind her ear. :)
23:17 Closing an eye may be advantageous if you're doing range/competition/precision shooting; in a zombie apocalypse (or in the army, police or for self defense), it may cost you situational awareness. Probably worth teaching both eyes open in this case.
Cassie: “Who’s Van Halen?” Tallahassee: “Hey, I’ve never hit a reactor before…..” Someone doesn’t know who Eddie Van Halen is. I am officially old now.
@@dukenukem-c2e I was born in the 80's. I have no idea how she could possibly not know who Van Halen is. She's so sheltered, she's like a 13yr old in an adults body.
@@dukenukem-c2e Even if she wasn't I can't imagine she was born too long after. So the fact that she doesn't even recognize the name Van Halen absolutely blows my mind. Literally one of the most famous rock bands of all time. I just can't fathom how she's lived somewhere around 3 decades without ever even hearing the name mentioned before somewhere.
11:33 Abigail Breslin. I first saw her when she played Mel Gibson's daughter in signs. The kid with the fixation on her water being contaminated. She's also in the excellent little miss sunshine and underrated movie Keane.
Performances and story are great in this movie. The gore is so over the top that it makes it less disturbing. Really glad you liked it and that it doesn't give you nightmares. "Interview With the Vampire" and "Lost Boys" should go on your list of not too scary movies
This movie was one of the rare awesome surprises of a finding a movie I had never heard of and loving it. I watch so many movies that between previews, commercials, and online trailers there has only been a handful of movies that I knew nothing about and ended up loving.
Best thing about growing up in my household is that we've never had any kind of entertainment that includes commercials for as long as I can remember. All of our streaming services have always been commercial free, ad block on all the phones and laptops, commercial free music, etc. And anything that does have built in or unskippable ads, neither me nor my dad would ever use. I have to go out of my way to see trailers for movies, and because of that, if we go to see a movie, I'm almost always going in blind. It's nice not to be spoiled by trailers and commercials.
Cassie, I was excited to see that you got to see this movie tonight. Its a special movie for me but for a weird reason. When it was in theatres I was on vacation and we had a rainy day so outdoor plans for the day were ruined. The group I was with went to the local theatre. Everyone we were with decided to see Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs except for my Uncle and I. We picked this movie. We both loved it!!! The other group was not so impressed with the other movie. My Uncle passed away of cancer not terribly long after that and I think about him every time I watch this movie and the fun we had that afternoon. Fyi, I know you love Harrison Ford movies and I recommend Six days Seven Nights. Its got a Sabrina feel that I know you'd like.
"You got a pretty mouth" is a quote from the movie Deliverance. So is the banjo. I recommend you do NOT watch Deliverance. Not that scary, as you jump every time there's a jump scare. Eddie Van Halen was the greatest guitar player ever and formed Van Halen with his brother Alex, Michael Anthony and David Lee Roth. He passed away in October of 2020. Watch a video titled Eruption and you'll learn who Eddie was.
23:16: Technically, proper shooting is done with both eyes open for depth perception. Personally, I find closing my non-dominant eye works a lot better, but that might be a "to each their own" thing.
Also for horror movies, watch "The Mist". It has the single most shocking ending in cinema history (along with an amazing soundtrack), so much so that Stephen King (the author of the book which the movie is based on) wished he thought up of the ending himself.
This/Tucker and Dale are so good!!!! 32:06 - Enjoy the little things! You will understand this the older you get! No matter what others say or don't say about your 'little things'. They don't hurt anyone, it is just a Twinkie or Lego or Drumming or whatever!!
"Dawn of the Dead" George Romero and the remake by Zack Snyder. Both are very good movies. "Warm Bodies" might be an easier film to take. It's cute and doesn't have as much gore. There are tons more. George Romero is a legend
I've warmed up more to the original in recent years, but I LOVE the 2004 remake. The cool thing is, you can watch both, and you're not really spoiling anything.
The Frighteners is a forgotten gem. Probably industry ego held this one back. Another forgotten gem is Frailty. Both are movies that just disappeared that I loved when I first saw them. This is just in my era. There are generations of movies like this.
I got a suggestion that will be perfect for you this Halloween season. Check out "Warm Bodies" from 2013. Another zombie movie with a rom-com twist, partially told from the Zombie's perspective.
I remember renting this back right after it was out of theaters and I also wasn't expecting much. I loved it. The gore was meant to be comedy-gore, the characters were great, and it has great heart.
I also love this movie as well as Tucker & Dale vs. Evil. Once you've seen enough horror movies to know many of the tropes you need to watch Cabin In the Woods; it also has a lot of gore and jumps, but it is also extremely funny - but in a much more subtle way. If you don't know the tropes you won't find it very funny 😁
I was in this movie. During the amusement park scene when Emma Stone is stuck on the ride. Lower right corner when they show the zombie hoard from above. I lived near Valdosta which is where this was filmed.
I like when Talahasee hits Columbus for spraying him with cologne, Columbus staggers and hits the display table. Wichita looks up, and Talahasee quickly smashes another souvenir to save face for Columbus, revealing his soft heart.
I live in the Dallas area, and I remember seeing this at midnight the day it was released and the biggest laugh in the theater was “That’s actually just Garland.”
Not even through the opening credits and I can already tell this is going to have a lasting effect on ya. As for The Frighteners, it is nowhere near as scary/gross. It is more light hearted and has more of a mystery aspect to it which I LOVED (and put up a video on a while back). I really love October for Reactions. So many of my favorites showing up on these channels. Some from back in my childhood (80s horror) mixed with lots of newer stuff which has had traction recently.
Zombieland is definitely one of my favourite movies and it’s always a go to as it’s just so easy to watch multiple times, you should also watch zombieland: double tap that’s also a great movie I love that film too
One of the great Horror/Comedies ever. The sequel was also good. I'd also highly recommend a movie in your poll, "Tucker and Dale vs Evil" as it is also a Horror/Comedy that is so worth your time. It is an underrated gem and one you will love.
20:57 Eddie Van Halen was the lead guitarist in the rock band Van Halen. If you’ve ever heard the songs “Hot for teacher”, “Panama”, “Eruption”, “Dance the Night Away”, “Jamie’s Cryin’”, or others, then you know Eddie’s work. He was one of the best guitarists of all time.
Part 2 is as good or even better imho. There's a new character named Madison that steals every scene she's in. Its just weird seeing a 20 something "Little Rock" lol.
I had to laugh when you said, "I haven't had a Twinkie in 20 years and now I want a Twinkie." I used to work as non-union, behind the scenes jobs and one of those was securing product placement in movies. Your response to that Twinkie, made me realize that what I did, worked. LOL
Eddie Van Halen was the lead of the band Van Halen. Even if you can't think of any of their songs, I know you know at least one. "Might as well jump! JUMP!" Ironically, he's a zombie now. Died in 2020 of a stroke.
Not an October movie but one you would like if you like this one is the 2004 Bruce Willis flick "The Whole Nine Yards". It is actually a double rom-com with a twist and a lot of dark humor. The sequel to it, "The Whole Ten Yards' is pretty funny also.

Tucker and Dale vs Evil is the most wholesome horror movie ever made. You need to watch it ❤
This!
There is gore, but not scary gore, like the gore in this movie.
Yeah also evil dead
Absolutely. It’s gruesome and wholesome at the same time, somehow.
True true.
This movie was actually originally intended to be a TV show. That's why they have elements like "Zombie kill of the Week" in it. I think this would have gotten old as a TV show, but works very well as a movie.

When you said, "Who's Eddie Van Halen", it made me feel like Woody when she didn't know who Bill Murray was. 😆😆😆
“Now, I’ve never hit a reactor before…” 😂
@@CoffeeMatt10 I wanted, really wanted to say it, but I'm glad somebody did. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I feel like tallahassee when she said who's Eddie Van Halen
Same here. I wanted to post a link to their entire collection of videos from the 80's.
@@CoffeeMatt10Same thought! 😂
The younger girl was played by Abigail Breslin. You might remember her for her brilliant portrayal of Olive in "Little Miss Sunshine" from 2006.
....and Signs
Very possible, but knowing what type of movies Cassie watched before starting this channel, I'm guessing she's recognizing Abigail Breslin as Ryan Reynolds' daughter in Definitely, Maybe.
Also really good with Matt Damon in Stillwater.
I know her from The Call (2013) starring with halle berry. Great movie too
Cassie, I am so glad you reviewed this movie! I was actually a Zombie extra in the amusement park scene later on. That was one of the coolest things I have ever gotten to do. Fun fact: Those scenes were not filmed in Alberta but they were in Valdosta, Georgia. Enjoy, everyone!
I’m jealous! That must have been so fun!
Was it the same set they filmed TWD on?
@@ct6852 good question! I doubt it but if it was that would be an amazing job they did. I look forward to the answer!
That's awesome!! One of my fav zombie comedies ever!! So glad u got to be a part of it. I have always wanted to be a zombie Xtra in a movie, so cool
@@ct6852 No Valdosta is south Georgia. Walking Dead was filmed in places near Atlanta like Grantville, Senoia.

Zombieland has one of the coolest opening credits scene ever made. The slo-mo with Metallica is just awesome.
damn right
Yes the opening credits to this movie are epic.
Zombieland is one of my ALL-TIME favorite movies. Considering the cast... I'm always surprised that people are "SURPRISED" at how good this movie is. Glad you gave it a chance.
The scariest part of this all was when you said you don’t know who Van Halen is😳😔😢😩 Like a wooden stake through my heart.
Time for Popcorn in Bed “first time listening” reactions haha
I GOTTA AGREE WITH THAT.
I HAVE TO ADMIT, YOU BROKE MY HEART !
I was like, awwwwwwwwwwww wow. I think she would really like Van Halen.
Oh, oh, oh, Jamie's cryin'
"Take away a man's son you've truly given him nothing left to lose." That hit me hard.
Tucker & Dale vs Evil is hilarious. You should DEFINITELY watch!
Agreed.
I love how Cassie’s become that “group project” friend where everyone tries to desensitise them to horror/gore 😂
Was Warm Bodies on the horror lite list? I feel that’s a zombie flick Cassie would like.
She would love Warm Bodies! Even more of a love story, and the gore is less intense 👍
Oh yes! Always wondered how Nick Holt manages to express so much more emotions with one grrr, than Robert Pattinson does in the whole saga.
Her and Carly need to watch it.
And i want her to watch train to busan too
To someone my age, not knowing Van Halen is the equivalent of not knowing who Taylor Swift is.
Isn't she that chick that's going out with Travis Kelce?😆
Right
hurts to hear someone say that doesnt it, damm im getting old
Yeah, he was great in Back to the Future as well.
@@JackRabbitSlim😂😂😂
Someone needs to start a "Who's so and so" list for her reactions, lol. Between "Who's Van Halen?" and "Who's He-Man?" (from her Ghostbusters 2 reaction)... I feel like there have been a lot more of these that would hurt my vintage 1980's heart. 🤣
Oh man, Tucker and Dale vs. Evil and The Frighteners are both great.
Fun fact: the guy in the bathroom, also the garage earring scam victim: he was a contestant on _Survivor_ and did well.
The opening credits with Mettalica's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has to be one of the best openers.
Cass, your astonishment at the gore and kills is always entertaining lmao
Chemistry between great actors. This is how its done. This is one of my favorite movies.
Mine too. Have you seen Zombieland 2 ????
29:23 Believe it or not, this movie started out as a film adaptation of the video game "Left 4 Dead" which is a four player first person shooter taking place in a zombie apocalypse and had the same atmosphere as this movie. The L4D adaptation evolved into Zombieland.
Re-watching this with you, I realize what a good movie this is. I mean, it's pretty much expertly-made, written, and acted.
This movie reminds me of Shaun of the Dead That's how good the first zombieland is same for the second one when we had to wait 10 years for it to come out still a really good sequel for what it was! ❤️
And who said, Amber Heard didn't show her true face. 08:27
That's why I love a good reaction. When a movie is good, it shows just how good it is.
Bill Murray is the only good thing about it.
Also Bruce Campbell in Army of Darkness. Funny with a few jumps scares.
The Frighteners and Tucker and Dale are both ABSOLUTE musts!
Love both of those movies.
My favorite Michael J Fox movie of all time.
I like the Frighteners but feel it is not for Cassie. She should seriously take a gummy before watching that. Not my fave MJ Fox film but not the worst, that would be Bright Lights.
Glad you liked it, and you're really lucky, you don't have to wait TEN YEARS to get a sequel like we did, haha.
I 100% agree with you waiting 10 years for the sequel was worth it still a good sequel not as good as I thought it would be for the sequel but I saw both movies in theater the first one and the second one totally worth it no matter what bottom all day one on 4K disc for my movie collection this movie reminds me for the first one of Shaun of the Dead like a cult classic❤

Could be.

Because it's hilarious and has a heart.
"I don't know if I'm ready for this... It's still September."
Now why didn't the filmmakers find a space for THAT line in their movie?
Commentaries are just as good!
“Gotta take the browns to the Super Bowl?” Realisation hits” oh my goodness” the look of disgust onCassies face. Classic.
It's surprising she's never heard that before...Canadians!?
11:30 It's that little girl from M. Night Shyamalan movie Signs (2002). Abigail Breslin
Such a fantastic movie. And Woody Harrelson is so great.

Watch Zombieland: Double Tap. Same cast, writers, & director. A satisfying sequel. There's also a bonus scene during the credits you can't miss.
Another great film from the same period with Jesse Eisenberg is Adventureland. No zombies, just a funny, bittersweet coming-of-age film.
Love that film. So. Good.
Adventureland is outstanding. A film that references semiotics, Melville and Trotsky, and has Husker Du and Yo La Tengo on its soundtrack. As always, Martin Starr steals the show.
This guy's been in TWO "-land" movies? Pretty niche typecasting
Great movie!
Absolutely an underrated film, Ryan reynolds and Kristen Stewart were great too
As a huge fan of horror I always appreciate the effort you put in Cassie watching films you would normally avoid.
Tucker and Dale vs Evil is fantastic. You should watch that next.
"I avoided people like they were zombies before they were zombies. And now that they're zombies, I kinda miss people."
That hits differently during and after 2020.
Maybe for some. I didn't miss people before _or_ after 2020! I like my solitude! I have quite enough friends living in my head. ✌🤓

The Frightners is one of my favorite movies, totally underrated!! It made a big leap forward in cgi for the time.

When it was in theatres I was on vacation and we had a rainy day so outdoor plans for the day were ruined. The group I was with went to the local theatre. Everyone we were with decided to see Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs except for my Uncle and I. We picked this movie. We both loved it!!! The other group was not so impressed with the other movie. My Uncle passed away of cancer not terribly long after that and I think about him every time I watch this movie and the fun we had that afternoon. Fyi, I know you love Harrison Ford movies and I recommend Six days Seven Nights. Its got a Sabrina feel that I know you'd like.
I second Six Days Seven Nights, bush tantrums are the best tantrums
"You got a pretty mouth" is a quote from the movie Deliverance. So is the banjo. I recommend you do NOT watch Deliverance.
Not that scary, as you jump every time there's a jump scare.
Eddie Van Halen was the greatest guitar player ever and formed Van Halen with his brother Alex, Michael Anthony and David Lee Roth. He passed away in October of 2020. Watch a video titled Eruption and you'll learn who Eddie was.
You will love Dale and Tucker vs Evil. Mark it on the Calandar.
23:16: Technically, proper shooting is done with both eyes open for depth perception. Personally, I find closing my non-dominant eye works a lot better, but that might be a "to each their own" thing.
Also for horror movies, watch "The Mist". It has the single most shocking ending in cinema history (along with an amazing soundtrack), so much so that Stephen King (the author of the book which the movie is based on) wished he thought up of the ending himself.
Can confirm, absolutely the most fucked up ending I have ever seen to all degrees.
That ending, holy shit. Horribly heart breaking and, in a sense of my twisted black humor, very funny. 😅 If only he had waited a one single minute...
This/Tucker and Dale are so good!!!! 32:06 - Enjoy the little things! You will understand this the older you get! No matter what others say or don't say about your 'little things'. They don't hurt anyone, it is just a Twinkie or Lego or Drumming or whatever!!
"Dawn of the Dead" George Romero and the remake by Zack Snyder. Both are very good movies.
"Warm Bodies" might be an easier film to take. It's cute and doesn't have as much gore.
There are tons more. George Romero is a legend
I've warmed up more to the original in recent years, but I LOVE the 2004 remake. The cool thing is, you can watch both, and you're not really spoiling anything.
Agreed

The Frighteners is a forgotten gem. Probably industry ego held this one back. Another forgotten gem is Frailty. Both are movies that just disappeared that I loved when I first saw them. This is just in my era. There are generations of movies like this.
I got a suggestion that will be perfect for you this Halloween season. Check out "Warm Bodies" from 2013. Another zombie movie with a rom-com twist, partially told from the Zombie's perspective.
good movie.
Really good movie. Malkovich is great in it. Really fun twist on zombie films actually.
“…it’s still September.” …lmao
I remember renting this back right after it was out of theaters and I also wasn't expecting much. I loved it. The gore was meant to be comedy-gore, the characters were great, and it has great heart.
I also love this movie as well as Tucker & Dale vs. Evil. Once you've seen enough horror movies to know many of the tropes you need to watch Cabin In the Woods; it also has a lot of gore and jumps, but it is also extremely funny - but in a much more subtle way. If you don't know the tropes you won't find it very funny 😁
WHO IS VAN HALEN?!?!
What a fun scary movie! ❤ The young girl played the daughter in 'Signs' (who thought the water tasted funny/old/contaminated).
This and Sean of the Dead are the best two zombie movies ever.
"Shawn"
I really wanted to like Shawn of the Dead... I just didn't think it was all that great.
I was in this movie. During the amusement park scene when Emma Stone is stuck on the ride. Lower right corner when they show the zombie hoard from above. I lived near Valdosta which is where this was filmed.
This movie is just one hell of a good time. Adorable cast + zombies with a slight mix of Bill Murray is just pure win.
I like when Talahasee hits Columbus for spraying him with cologne, Columbus staggers and hits the display table. Wichita looks up, and Talahasee quickly smashes another souvenir to save face for Columbus, revealing his soft heart.
another absolutely adorable but (in this case) underappreciated zombie movie is warm bodies. you should definitely check that one out, it's cute
The guy who gets scammed by the girls with the engagement ring is the same guy who gets eaten in the bathroom.
I live in the Dallas area, and I remember seeing this at midnight the day it was released and the biggest laugh in the theater was “That’s actually just Garland.”
Your hubby's a lucky guy. You have so much empathy.
How on Earth can anyone in America who is in their 30's not know who Van Halen is?!!!
Saw this at a midnight showing at the Atlantic Film Festival in Halifax in 2009. Loved it.
Not even through the opening credits and I can already tell this is going to have a lasting effect on ya.
As for The Frighteners, it is nowhere near as scary/gross. It is more light hearted and has more of a mystery aspect to it which I LOVED (and put up a video on a while back).
I really love October for Reactions. So many of my favorites showing up on these channels. Some from back in my childhood (80s horror) mixed with lots of newer stuff which has had traction recently.
Zombieland is definitely one of my favourite movies and it’s always a go to as it’s just so easy to watch multiple times, you should also watch zombieland: double tap that’s also a great movie I love that film too
Return of the Living Dead is pretty funny too.
I saw this in theaters, and actually started crying from laughter when they killed Bill Murray. Such a funny cameo.
One of the great Horror/Comedies ever. The sequel was also good. I'd also highly recommend a movie in your poll, "Tucker and Dale vs Evil" as it is also a Horror/Comedy that is so worth your time. It is an underrated gem and one you will love.
For something a little different, I recommend Warm Bodies. It's a zombie love story from the POV of a zombie.
It was so fun watching you enjoy this movie, Cassie! 😁
20:57 Eddie Van Halen was the lead guitarist in the rock band Van Halen. If you’ve ever heard the songs “Hot for teacher”, “Panama”, “Eruption”, “Dance the Night Away”, “Jamie’s Cryin’”, or others, then you know Eddie’s work. He was one of the best guitarists of all time.
Part 2 is as good or even better imho. There's a new character named Madison that steals every scene she's in. Its just weird seeing a 20 something "Little Rock" lol.
It was utterly bizarre to suddenly see little miss sunshine with giant boobs.
I have never felt so conflicted by the presence of boobs.
Such a great cast for this kind of movie. It's a pretty tough tone to pull off. But they were all perfect for it.
An awesome movie...Never gets old.
I had to laugh when you said, "I haven't had a Twinkie in 20 years and now I want a Twinkie."
I used to work as non-union, behind the scenes jobs and one of those was securing product placement in movies. Your response to that Twinkie, made me realize that what I did, worked. LOL
This and the sequel are two of my favorite Zombie movies ever. The comedy angle and the way it's played by all the actors is just on point perfectly.
I kind of forgot how violent this movie is lol whenever I think about it I just remember the comedy stuff
I love this movie and it's good that you liked it too. Now watch Zombieland: Double Tap. It'll bring things into a better place.
THE FRIGHTENERS!!!! I loved that movie as a kid. Definitely need to watch it on the channel!
I love this film, there is a sequel Zombieland: DoubleTap - in my opinion it is an excellent second film, and a great way to end things.
It's as much fun, if not more, than the first!
Eddie Van Halen was the lead of the band Van Halen. Even if you can't think of any of their songs, I know you know at least one.
"Might as well jump! JUMP!"
Ironically, he's a zombie now. Died in 2020 of a stroke.
I want to thank whoever wrote "Little Rock explains Hannah Montana to Tallahassee"
Not an October movie but one you would like if you like this one is the 2004 Bruce Willis flick "The Whole Nine Yards". It is actually a double rom-com with a twist and a lot of dark humor. The sequel to it, "The Whole Ten Yards' is pretty funny also.
