The Final Week of Halloween-A-Thon #4 Saw series

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, it's time for an movie series that everyone has trouble stomaching & can't watch. One particular horror movie series comes to mind, Saw series. These are some of the most original as well as brutal & unforgiving movies. Saw series is very much in torture porn category for many reasons. These movies will give most kids nightmares for the rest of their lives. Yeah I couldn't exclude these classics from my marathon. What's interesting is all movies come out an year after each other just in time for Halloween. Which made it very obvious to me, Saw must be presented in my marathon.

Saw (2004)

The original Saw is one of the best horror movies of the 2000s to date. The story involves an photographer & doctor trapped in an huge bathroom. Of course Saw is widely known for a lot of things. Most traps are not only original but very terrifying & entertaining to watch. Many people can't stomach any Saw movies because of them. Saw is also known for having one of the best horror movie stories. Some of the best horror movie effects I seen in an long time. This doesn't even play out like an typical horror movie. You will witness some horrifying events involving death traps all set in an strict time limit & conditions. To sum it up Jugsaw Killer only puts you in those traps. He expects to see if you have the will to survive. Technically he isn't directly killing them but he is still responsible for their deaths. I always like how well written the characters are overall. Everything works a lot more than most expected.

Saw II (2005)

One of the best Saw movies in my opinion, Saw II is one of the best horror movies with 2 in the title. Starting with Saw II to up, each newer movie adds more story to previous movies. This is kinda mixed received. On one hand a lot of questions were asked by the fans especially on Dr. Gordon. Each movie in some way shad more light on it. The flip side is if you are watching these out of order & new to them. You will get confused very fast making it more frustrating to get into them in the first place. Once again we get an great cast in one of my favorite big traps of the series. An group of people are trapped inside an house. They have a few hours to get an antidote to nerve gas to survive long enough to leave the house. But all the antidotes are placed in every death trap. Although not all traps are revealed, it was confirmed each one was meant for each person. I would say this has the best acting of the entire series. Some of my favorite traps are present in this movie. If I have to name right off the bat I like it has to be death mask. Which is similar to reverse bear trap with an helmet variation of an classic death trap. One of the best stories in any horror movie sequels. Saw II is an worthy successor that set the standard for many things.

Saw III (2006)

Saw III is considered by some as the best Saw movie. Honestly I believe it's very close between II and III for many great reasons. The story centers around an man named Jeff whose trapped inside the main building for these death traps. Each trap plays an huge role in determining if he lives or dies at the end. An nice twist followed by another interesting twist. His wife got kidnapped by them to keep Jigsaw Killer alive which plays an role in Jeff's game. Just like Saw II, Saw III has some of my favorite death traps. Maybe not as intense as Saw II but this was one of the best horror movies with 3 in the title. You will learn an great deal about several characters in this movie. All flashback scenes are well done but I still prefer those in Saw II more. Saw III put a lot of thought in making this terrifying to people. In fact some pigs used in the judge's trap had real maggots. Every trap was personal to Jeff in some way made the movie more interesting to watch it all play out. This is one of the finest among torture porn movies. Saw III still amazes me with all that work put into it all within an strict time line of an few months.

Saw IV (2007)

 Some say at this point Saw series started to go down. Honestly Saw IV was the best out of the next trilogy of movies. It is the fourth best Saw movie in the series for many reasons. An swat member involved on the case since the beginning gets ambushed at his house. He wakes up to find out he's forced into another big game. Officially one of the last traps planned by the original Jigsaw Killer. This cop had to be the judge in most traps centered around crimes of others. Only to hope to survive & save another detective that went missing. This was the only big game where it wasn't in one building. By this point flashbacks are getting more interesting but some come off a little rushed. I am not saying they're bad by any means. I know they were trying to keep tradition to Halloween under such conditions. Traps unrelated to the big one are some of my absolute favorites. I really enjoy Cecil's trap which was very personal to Jigsaw Killer. For some having an advantage like this is stuff of dreams. Of course I'm not trying to get people to start GTA style our streets. I am stating he did what some really wanted to do but can't. This is also where other events in previous movies make more sense. Among horror movies that are technically fourth or has 4 in the title. Saw IV is easily one of the best 4th horror movies.

Saw V (2008)

In my opinion this would be the second worst Saw movie. But it is far from being terrible which is saying more than Saw VII. The story is following an FBI agent who caught on Jigsaw Killer's successor. In an time where people can finally move on from those murders. Surprisingly this agent gets two different death traps. Officially one of the few characters to survive an trap. The big game involves five people in an series of strict traps to survive. The longer it goes on, the more we learn of their connections to each other. If you think about it, you could consider these traps as torture porn Olympics. Although flashback scenes are done good, they didn't come off as important as previous ones. This reminds me of Maniac Cop III since it's cop against cop movie. Out of all the big games in the series, this is the worst. All of them were meant to be done as an team which wasn't clear until the very end. Considering how selfish most of them were, I felt even if they knew it still would end up that way. Not bad but I could've wanted a little more.

Saw VI (2009)

This is another great horror movie that a lot of people kinda over look for many reasons. The story centers around an insurance executive forced to make tough decisions in every traps. Each test he is given gets more difficult both physically & mentally as it goes on. Now that to me is why it works more than the previous movie's big game. This also marks the second usage of reverse bear trap. I felt the story in general was better than Saw V's. An bonus is this guy in the big game had an connection to the original Jigsaw Killer. Oddly enough his families makes the final decision to let him live or die. Just like what he done to him that led to the famous suicide attempt that changed his life. Easily one of the best horror movies that are technically sixth or has number 6 in the title. Saw VI is kinda underrated among newer horror movies. To some degree I can understand why but it deserves justice.

Saw VII The Final Chapter aka Saw 3D (2010)

This is not only the worst Saw movie but one of the worst that are technically seventh or has number 7 in the title. This also has one of the worst usage of 3D in horror movies. Before it Friday the 13th Part 3 & Freddy's Dead The Final Nightmare are some of the horror movies that predates it. The story is kinda an mess which I usually don't say about an Saw movie. The big game has an guy claiming to be an previous victim of Jigsaw Killer who actually wasn't got trapped inside an real game. The smallest personal connection to Jigsaw Killer as possible. All newer characters are done horribly with only two traps standing out. One of which was an dream sequence trap now that's sad. Jigsaw Killer's successor attacks an police station with an gunner robot. Which according to the rules his mentor lives by was going directly against. This guy's big test of all things was forced to remove all four his wisdom teeth to enter the combination to escape an room. In all honestly yes I do release how painful just one would be. You could've expected both bigger & more difficult to be his test. But forcing him to rip four of his own teeth out was stupid. Sadly the best part of this movie was the ending. I am not saying it to be an dick, I'm just speaking the truth. An very good twist that most didn't see coming. Most scenes were done on time but those with 3D technology took much longer than they expected. Instead of pushing it's release date back to improve the problem. They chose release it in the state it is kinda like Blood 2: The Chosen. Oddly enough both those sequels came out very close to Halloween. Little to nothing works in this movie at all. Jill gets killed by an horrible broken reverse bear trap death scene. Saw VII was very disappointing for an final horror movie. Easily among the top 10 of my list for all the wrong reasons.

Plenty of gore from blood spilling to explosions to body parts flying everywhere. We have yet to reach the most unexpected portion of my marathon. Come back tomorrow where I make a few calls. Yes that's your only hint on what I'm covering next. If you don't know it, shame on you lol.

The Final Week of Halloween-A-Thon #3 Maniac Cop series

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, shortly getting into an fan game called Terrordrome. I got interested in seeing Maniac Cop trilogy. To my surprise there were some of the best horror movies I seen in an long time. Maniac Cop steals the show in all three movies. I recommend not taking it too seriously on an late night with the lights off. The funny part is these doesn't come off like most horror movies. Which in reviewing all three of them I will explain why. I will say if you like cop movies or unnatural stuff. Chances are you probably would like these amazing movies.

Maniac Cop (1988)

This movie really blew me away for many reasons. Not many horror movies around the 80s had acting this good. The story is about an undead cop going around killing people for revenge. Bruce Campbell known for being Ash in Evil Dead series plays one of the main characters. This is on an thin line for being an horror & cop movie since it's both styles combined. Maniac Cop steals the show for almost everything he does. I like how they told the story as you kinda feel for Maniac Cop late in the movie. Of course logic does go out the door a little bit. Maniac Cop is an intense movie that many would enjoy watching. An great description would be imagine the movie Demolition Man turned into an horror movie. Honestly this is what you would get.

Maniac Cop 2 (1990)

One of the best horror movie sequels I ever seen. Maniac Cop survived the end of the first movie. Unlike the original where he barely speaks, he does talk a little more. He gets revenge on almost everyone he's angry at. Some of his best scenes are in this movie. Especially the police station part similar to that scene from The Terminator. Maybe not as good, it still had an huge impact in how terrifying he is. In an sense this is also similar to the beginning of Friday the 13th Part II. I won't spoil exactly how but you will be amazed at what he can do. In some ways this is better than the original. The original plays more on suspense while Maniac Cop 2 goes more direct horror route. You learn more about his past prior to his death in prison. The ending is very unlikely for anyone to expect to happen.

Maniac Cop III: Badge of Silence (1993)

The final Maniac Cop movie may stand as the worst. It is not an bad movie by any means, it just isn't as good as the first two. I will say for an third horror movie in an franchise this is one of the best. Maniac Cop III continues shortly after the end of the second movie. Possibly scariest look Maniac Cop gets in the whole series in my opinion. Most of his vengeance was done but he still had one more target. An detective rivaling his track record making him the best cop of his time. You finally find out how Maniac Cop keeps coming back to life. This is the most you will hear him speak with such an awesome voice. An very intense ending to conclude one of the absolute best horror movie trilogies in history. This movie is really worth checking out.

I will be back from the darkness to deliver more of the unimaginable horrors straight from Hell itself. Don't sell your souls because more of the madness is coming your way.

The Final Week of Halloween-A-Thon #2 Tales from the Crypt Movie Series

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, Tales from the Crypt left an unforgettable impression on me since my child hood. Easily one of the greatest horror shows I ever seen. Not many people who seen the show know there exists three movies. At some point as they were airing episodes of the show. They really tried hard to get three movies based on it to come out. It almost didn't happen but I felt we still got some great horror movies.

Tales from the Crypt presents Demon Knight (1995)

It's hard to believe until last year I haven't seen this movie. Hands down the best among all Tales from the Crypt movies. I would go as far to say even the best episodes of the show fail in comparison to this movie. I am not kidding it is really that damn good. The story is about an guy being chased by an powerful demon played by Billy Zane. Very quickly things get out of the control at an boarding house. Demons start coming after people with little to no way to defend themselves. Billy Zane gives an very impressive performance as the demon knight. Holy crap everything in all possible categories is really good. I am dead serious with one of the best stories for anything Tales from the Crypt. Of course I have to talk about the Crypt Keeper. I love it every minute of him being in Hollywood. It is easily in the top 10 most entertaining Crypt Keeper performances. I highly recommend people to go find this movie as soon as possible.

Tales from the Crypt presents Bordello of Blood (1996)

Believe it or not this was the first in this trilogy I seen. For a lot of people it's the same case as me. This is an vampire movie that some may or may not heard of. The story is about an private investigator gets hired to look into an missing person case. This involves him checking an unlikely location for an brothel in the disguise of an funeral home. In that regard it reminds me of Phantasm series. An artifact from Demon Knight appears as an means to control an ancient vampire. What's weird is originally in Demon Knight it held blood of whose currently in procession of it. Which kept demons out so it's weird they changed it into controlling an vampire. Dennis Miller does an great performance in this movie. Honestly this is an great movie but it doesn't blow me away like Demon Knight. The Crypt Keeper in both portions is playing against monsters. If you seen an particular episode called Cutting Cards. They are playing them to an even greater, more ridiculous degree than the two guys in that episode. Personally Cutting Cards all around is more entertaining than this movie.

Tales from the Crypt presents Ritual (2002)

This movie went through a lot of problems. Eventually it got released briefly under the title Tales from the Crypt presents Ritual. Shortly after that it got rereleased just called Ritual with Crypt Keeper portions removed. Regardless which version you seen the movie itself is identical. Not much changes besides those but due to those problems. At the last minute Ritual became an direct to video movie. They really tried getting it done for theaters but it never happened. The story is about an lady visiting an place. She discovers a lot of strange things going on all relating for the most part to voodoo. Who doesn't like a little voodoo am I right? I recommend any Child's Play movie even Seed of Chucky over this. Ritual in most areas isn't too great with barely any rememberable parts. I am not saying it is flat out bad like many would. Ritual is more of it's own thing than an actual story inspired or based on Tales from the Crypt comics. Not even Tim Currey could save this movie. Although he still was an great Pennywise from IT, an better movie with him. What's worse is there exist similar episodes to this theme on the show. All of those are done better including the episode with Whoopi Goldberg. Tales from the Crypt doesn't have a lot of stories with demons & vampires. An key reason why I prefer those movies over this one. Hell I also recommend another movie based on Stephen King's work called Thinner over this. Ritual is only for those into the show & other two movies. Not even Crypt Keeper portions of this movie does much to save it either.

The Crypt Keeper would be proud of these movies for what they are. Just don't fell into madness or go into insanity yet kiddies. I will be back tomorrow with another horror series that many enjoy.

The Final Week of Halloween-A-Thon #1 Pumpkinhead series

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, on this night of October 25th. I present one of the scariest horror movie creatures ever. I am talking about Pumpkinhead series that quickly got an strong cult following since the beginning.

Pumpkinhead (1988)

The original Pumpkinhead is easily best out of the series. The story is about an father and son living their lives. Until a group of teenagers came to town living close by them. An accident occurs killing his son causing him to do the unthinkable. He goes sees an witch about summoning Pumpkinhead on those kids. As soon as you see Pumpkinhead, those parts are some of the most intense in any horror movies. This creature will keep hunting you down until either it kills them all or it dies. To some Pumpkinhead is one of the scariest movies of it's time. An great story with an fitting ending some won't see coming. To simply put it in words, most aspects of this movie was amazing.

Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings (1994)

In some areas Pumpkinhead II is better than the original movie. I thought the story was a little better due to Pumpkinhead going after two groups of people. The only movie an witch plays an bigger role in any Pumpkinhead movies. One of the main characters had an connection with the person becoming Pumpkinhead was interesting. Some of the most gruesome kills in any horror movies. I also like some kills Pumpkinhead leaves blood wings behind kinda like how The Crow does that in those movies. This movie is an great sequel that more people need to watch.

Pumpkinhead: Ashes to Ashes (2006)

Around this time Syfy decided to make a few horror movie sequels. Our last two Pumpkinhead movies was made by them back to back. Usually for direct to video sequels this is an bad thing. Honestly I kinda like Pumpkinhead: Ashes to Ashes. The story is about an group upset by murders of high body count. One of them forces the others to go see the witch about summoning Pumpkinhead. Some interesting concepts made this more of an gem than bad horror movie. For example the people Pumpkinhead is going after are guilty of several murders. The doctor played by Doug Bradley aka Pinhead in Hellraiser series does an great job in his role. Yes I know there are better movies with Bradley but his character was interesting. This guy was killing people while no body expects he was the one responsible for that town's pain. Later on, he comes on to an possible way to kill Pumpkinhead. An concept done a few times in The Crow series. In most movies only one person feels what Pumpkinhead feels or the pain of his victims. Yes the effects are below average compared to the first two movies. I still recommend this to anyone into these movies.

Pumpkinhead: Blood Feud (2007)

The last of the original Pumpkinhead movies. Personally I don't think it as interesting as the last three movies. The story involves an girl upset by people close to her dead. She goes sees the witch to summon Pumpkinhead. More of an gang movie than an actual horror movie. This movie does give you an great deal what Pumpkinhead is capable of. Some kills are good while others are difficult to see. Mostly due to the fact in most parts with Pumpkinhead are dark. Not dark as in theme, more like it's kinda like an moonless night. Some sound effects are okay but the music is what saved it from getting too boring. I know I am hitting this movie hard but after see it for yourselves. You will understand some changes would've went an long way.

Don't worry folks tomorrow my marathon continues with another personal favorite horror movie series of mine. Don't go too far into the darkness, more chaos, carnage and bodies pulling up to come.

Jack Red reviews Horror Heroes Bundle (Bundle Stars)

Special Thanks Roll Down

Bundle Stars
Steam

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, clearly I needed more horror games. I don't get them as close as often as other genres. Regularly I play stuff like Resident Evil nonstop. An month ago I came across Bundle Stars looking at some of their bundle deals. Oddly Horror Heroes Bundle has been up for some time if I heard correctly. Regardless I recently bought it from Bundle Stars. I took an chance for many reasons but I'm glad I did. This is the best indie game bundle I ever had. I didn't own many indie bundles to begin with. What's interesting is most bundles I seen up til this one. Usually all are made or owned by the same company. In this rare case several companies are involved with this deal. Which by itself is close to insanity.

Spoiler alert: I will try not to fully spoil all the games but some facts I must talk about in my reviews.

1. Viscera Cleanup Detail: Santa's Rampage

This game is part of an short series where you can clean after the mess you see or go wild creating an bigger mess. In this stand alone expansion you play as an janitor elf cleaning up after Santa's rampage. There is a lot of blood & gore in this game so if you don't like that. Then this game isn't meant for you. I like you get to explore Santa's workshop. You get to listen to several songs unless you destroy the radio. This is one of the few games where dying doesn't set you back too much. In this particular case the only way as far as I'm aware of dying is getting blown up. Every time you get blown up, it creates more of an mess for you to clean up. You also can take the time to collect stuff for achievements including elf heads. Honestly for some reason this reminds me of Garry's Mod. You can go in your office either by selecting it on the main menu or clocking in when you're done. Surprisingly to clean or make more of an mess is simple as it quickly becomes addicting. Hell you could play this online with a few people that does spice the game up. Yes this takes place on Christmas which bags the question. Does this count as an horror game? I have to say this for two great reasons. I am aware many people are confused which holiday to category The Nightmare Before Christmas movie. I believe it does take place on both holidays. Considering Jack Skellington briefly took over Christmas to turn it into another surprise Halloween. I would personally category it as Halloween Christmas because of that. There's a lot of horror movies taking place on Christmas like Jack Frost series, Krampus and Black Christmas. If people already made horror movies based on such an holiday than this game should count. Second reason is just witness the amount of gore in this game alone. Most horror games doesn't go that far to gross you out like that. Usually some unexpected things that are disturbing or disgusting mostly in Silent Hill games. Here is an game with elves killed in a few different ways, some worse than others. The idea of one of the most peaceful creatures killed by Santa is mind blowing. The controls are very easy to memorize with an great sound track & good sound effects. I would say this is one of the best games in the bundle.

2. Belladonna

Belladonna is an point & click game that's inspired by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. You play as an reanimated woman trying to find out what happened. I really like the artwork of this game as it fits the theme perfectly. An great sound track with amazing sound effects. I am very impressed by the voice acting in this game. Honestly this game for it's kind was way too easy. I originally expected more of an challenge like Telltale's The Walking Dead games or Toonstruck. If you play your cards right less than an hour you will beat this game. Seriously it is very easy to memorize & guess what you're suppose to do. Yes there are some horror elements to classified it as an horror game. You get to poison an cat as well as robbing an grave for an head. Another problem I want with Belladonna is limited in content. This makes it harder for me want to replay it more often. I like it when games has plenty of unlockables. I would say this is an good game but there are better ones in this bundle. What's sad is this actually the most recent game in the bundle since it came out last year.

3. Dead Pixels

Dead Pixels is about your last chance to survive the zombie apocalypse. You are fighting waves after waves of them to get to safety. This game is strikingly similar to River City Ransom. Let me explain you do have melee attacks which are similar to River City Ransom but more limited. The actual sprites look kinda similar. In both games you can buy your stuff in stores to level your character. But the similarities end there folks. In places or stores you can find, buy or sell stuff. In order to advance your character further in the game. There is an great variety of zombies you'll face. I really like how well the controller support is. This game was also sold on Xbox Indie service. I got to be honest I don't have much to criticize here. Everything works incredibly well for what it is. I also like all the Resident Evil references in this game. Everyone knows Resident Evil is one of my favorite game series. You get an great variety of weapons with clear differences to help you realize them. Dead Pixels really blew me away as soon as I started playing. I am willing to say this not only one of the best this bundle has to offer. This also is one of the absolute best indie games I ever played. The only bad thing is when you get corned while zombies get very close. Your health will go down rapidly thus forced to use many medikits & firing to survive. Lastly I can't help this reminds me of Dead Rising series. Both Dead Rising series & Dead Pixels share some of the game mechanics. I am an huge fan of Dead Rising as well. I also would like to point out I beat it on two difficulties for this review.

4. Kraven Manor

Kraven Manor is similar to many horror games where you are exploring an mansion to find clues. This does start slow but suddenly close to half way through things gets crazy. Some of these puzzles are clearly inspired by Silent Hill & Resident Evil series. As an whole all of them felt meant to be there. You get to search around rooms with very few enemies. This game looks awesome for an indie game made by college graduates. One of the best horror games of this style I ever played. All the sound effects are right on with an good sound track. You can play two difficulties changing the game a lot. There's a few hidden stuff you can find with an great achievement system. Some puzzles mostly later on are complex & requires memorizing it. You can quickly die from fire & enemies in a few minutes especially getting grabbed. Thankfully the check point system works very well. I could play this again at an later date. It's difficult to state where I would rank this among the other games. I will say Kraven Manor did left an huge impression on me near the end of the game. I would say this offers more than Belladonna in a few areas.

5. 99 Levels to Hell

You are going through Hell itself to hunt the devil down. Play as four characters with plenty of weapons & power ups. Most levels are random generated making it different to keep it fresh. An great variety of enemies with amazing sound track. Most levels you are simply escaping from one room to another. Most bosses do the same stuff with some exceptions. Yes you can upgrade your weapons but dying once takes it away. If you want to save your process to come back later. By force you automatically lose one health. All levels are roughly the same size with some having depth of stuff. I do like the controls on keyboard and controller a lot. They did an great job making you felt like you're facing Hell. Although if you want an better more definitive experience go play Doom series instead. Honestly this was an great game but it's okay compared to other games in the bundle.

6. Blackbay Asylum

I got to be honest I'm not familiar with this style of horror games. I really came to like Blackbay Asylum. You play as Doug whose an patient of Blackbay Asylum trapped in an hellish world. Most of it's puzzles are inspired by Resident Evil & Silent Hill series. Honestly these were well thought out with some having death traps. Some levels are very straight forward with nothing to stop you at all. Which does hurt the game a little bit but I love being in first person in some portions. You get to play what feels like two different style horror games in one. I love a lot of the overall design as well as Doug's offensive jokes. This guy is quite an character as he clearly doesn't care for anyone but himself. In an way it reminds me of Duke Nukem, Caleb and Lo Wang. I would say this is more challenging than Belladonna with more reasons for me to keep coming back. My biggest complaint has to be no unlockables of any kind. Not even achievements which could bring more appeal to this amazing game. Some say this is worth being price as sixty bucks which I agree. Without question one of my favorites in this bundle.

7. Deadly 30

I am really impressed how good this game actually is. Deadly 30 reminds me of Dead Rising series for many reasons. Both share a similar leveling system you could build up with kills from zombies. You play as three different characters during the entire game. Each one comes with their own personality and weaponry. Very short areas with Black Forest having the hideout. You could go out to find the other characters & get more scraps for upgrades or risk it all by sleeping until night. I dare someone who wants an difficult gamer challenge to play Deadly 30 sleeping on every night. Basically you can't go out looking for scraps or characters. You can take a part trucks & tanks with chests to open. There is an serious learning curve as you can't rush the game or you will die a lot. For an indie game that has to be the one of the absolute best I ever played. Easily one of the best within Horror Heroes Bundle in my opinion.

8. Doorways Chapter 3: The Underworld

I haven't played any game in this series or of this style so I'm very new to this kind of experience. Doorways Chapter 3 is easily one of the scariest games I ever played. You can only escape from enemies with limited places to hide. Very impressive graphics with amazing audio to fit the environment perfectly. All of it surprisingly works much better than you think it would. Honestly this game is intense, an strict learning curve & I highly recommend not rushing if you are new to it. Doorways Chapter 3 has some great puzzles to solve. If you play Resident Evil or Silent Hill games then those will be up your alley. This game does an great job trying to scare you without forcing it on you. I do recommend this game to any horror fan. Hands down one of the must owns in Horror Heroes Bundle.

Now I will do an quick Top 8 with all games included to help give you an idea which are worth it...

Announcing The Final Week of Halloween-A-Thon

Hi everyone, I'm Jack Red, a few weeks from now will be Halloween. One of my favorite holidays that I love to death. I figured since a lot of people do their own Halloween marathons. Why not do my own this year? Starting on October 25th, I will be posting an compilation of reviews. I will be covering some of my favorite horror movie series of all time. I also ending with something not a lot of people will expect.

I know some are thinking, Jack aren't you ripping off Cinemassacre's Monster Madness by doing this? Hell no because all of mine will be blog entries not videos. Also to prevent possible controversiality, I won't be covering any movies doing in both Sequel-A-Thons James done. Yes it does make things a little challenging but not by much. I am an huge horror movie fan that's trying to find more of the unknown. I am still looking for the one horror movie that it's difficult for me to watch every single time.

http://cinemassacre.com/category/moviereviews/monstermadness/2011-monstermadness/
http://cinemassacre.com/category/moviereviews/monstermadness/sequel-a-thon-2/

Also no hints on what horror movie series will be covered this year. If enough people like my Halloween marathon. I will attempt doing another Halloween marathon next year.

Top 5 Reasons Why Sega Genesis is Better than NEC TurboGrafx-16 aka PC Engine

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I can only judge TurboGrafx-16 from footages many people put online. I did a lot of research on it for this particular blog entry. Now considering some consoles like TurboGrafx-16 are becoming more popular among collectors. I just want to point out I'm not writing these to piss those people or long time fans of TurboGrafx-16 off.

After all I am only stating my opinion why I prefer Sega Genesis over it. You are welcome to counter right back in doing this vice versa. You have my word I would check your blog or video on it out as soon as I'm told about it.

5. Better controllers & more variations

It's no secret Sega Genesis had so many variation of it's controllers. In fact some people are still making their own variation of them today. Not everyone will understand how an TurboGrafx-16 controller works. Even an original three button Genesis controller works better. More recently there are wireless Genesis controllers as well as controllers meant for different genre of games. Some fans go out of their way to do amazing custom repaint of Sega franchises. Of course everyone to an degree agrees that an six button Genesis controller is easily one of the absolute best controllers in gaming.

4. More variation of consoles with third party thrown in
Sega made two official Genesis models which back during my child hood I had both of them. Sega also allowed some companies over the years to do their own Genesis consoles. Very few weren't licensed by Sega but all of them allow you to play Genesis games like the first two models. Yes I should bring up Genesis 3 despite being made by another company is technically the successor to model 2 Genesis. One of the smallest Genesis consoles you ever see. I recently picked up AtGames Genesis model aka Genesis 4. Which allows you to pick any region of most games with over eighty built in games. Half of those are filter games that aren't even on bad Genesis game standards. Earlier models with add ons lets you play Sega Master System, Sega 32X and Sega CD games. Not many consoles can do this today.

3. Bigger game collection

Yes even throwing in every Japanese TurboGrafx-16 & TurboGrafx-CD games. Sega Genesis has over seven hundred games during it's run. Plus homebrew has an stronger impact on Genesis than it does on TurboGrafx-16. Of course I could throw in Steam rereleases & Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. But I'm not that much of an dick to over rate those. But Genesis games does get ported more often. Officially covering more licensed games than TurboGrafx-16. Sega Genesis had one of the finest video game libraries in history. You are more likely at places to getting more Genesis games than those of TurboGrafx-16. Yes TurboGrafx-16 did beat Sega Mega Drive in Japan but it won the rest of them.

2. Although some titles are present on both consoles, Genesis versions are better
An true Sega fan had to bring something like this up. Yes it's true some games are present on both consoles. Let's be honest majority of them are simply better on Genesis. Not because oh Sega made those games & Genesis of course it will be better. No different teams ported some of Sega classics like Altered Beast & Golden Axe. Most simply needed more time with some things worked out if you seen some of those comparisons. To sum it up if you own both versions among an handful of games on both consoles. I think you would agree Genesis knocks it out of the park in overall quality. I love it when people say Genesis had an terrible audio chip. Although I could list possibly forty games to prove them wrong. Usually in comparing other games not shared TurboGrafx-16 comes out on top. In this one regard I have to side with Sega.

1. Genesis as an whole has some of the finest 16 bit sound tracks in history
Sega Genesis has an high rated video game sound track overall. Often over shadowed by many consoles including SNES. But Genesis does have games that really impress people how great they sound. In fact if Sega would sell an few discs of those songs. You bet I would buy those in an heart beat. Even if TurboGrafx-16 were to get the same treatment. Let's be honest compared to games like Streets of Rage 2 and Rocket Knight Adventures it falls short in it's greatness. I could agree most sound effects do sound better on TurboGrafx-16. Genesis has plenty of amazing sound tracks to keep you going. By now everyone knows Genesis has it's own unique sound. Which is mixed among many gamers. Genesis has an impressive library of timeless songs you could listen to for hours nonstop.

I hope you guys enjoy this blog entry. Very soon now you should be getting Horror Heroes Bundle. As for Interplay Build Your Own Bundle. As of right now I'm not sure if that would be getting one now. So how about this, if I were to agree to reveal which games I got in that deal. Would anyone be interested in actually seeing an review similar to some I done before or no? Until next time I'm Jack Red and I'll see all of you later.
