Jack Red reviews Interplay Build Your Own Bundle (GOG)

Special Thanks Roll Down
Interplay
GOG

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I had close to an handful of Interplay games growing up. I heard a lot about them as time went on. Just before I considered this bundle, the sudden news of Interplay selling everything was sad. I figured to get Interplay Build Your Own Bundle before that happens. They give you close to forty games to choose from. You get to pick ten games to get all of them 90% off. I picked some games I had an connection with while others caught my attention.

1. Battle Chess Special Edition

Despite the title this is an compilation of three games. You get Battle Chess, Battle Chess II: Chinese Chess & Battle Chess 4000. The entire original Battle Chess series played through an DOSBOX emulator. All three games has an unique appeal for many reasons since all their themes are more different from each other. Battle Chess is medieval while Battle Chess II goes Chinese dynasty to finally Battle Chess 4000 futuristic space theme. As many of you expected, you are playing three different styles of chess. Surprisingly great AI in DOS games to constantly push you to do better. What made these games so famous in the first place was the level of violence. In regular chess when an piece is took down, they are removed from the board that's it. But in these games every time this happens, you get to watch entertaining battles with death scenes involved. Some of these are strange but it has some good humor. There is all kinds of possibilities to keep you coming back to play more. It's difficult to believe there exist not only an Star Wars game inspired by this but also an Terminator game as well. I recommend looking up the rules for chess & Chinese chess in advance. Unless you prefer to play things by ear. Let's get this out of the way Battle Chess 4000 does use claymation similar to ClayFighter series also owned by Interplay. I felt it had the weakest overall design as most death animations weren't as entertaining as the first two games. I can't help it that you get two identical guys on both sides that looks similar to Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear. Sometimes I have trouble making an move. Which barely happens in the first two games. I do like it's clocking how long all my turns are as well as those of my opponent's making it like competitive chess in real life. I wasn't too crazy for all the characters designs in Battle Chess 4000. Honestly for me it's very close between the first two games. If I had to pick one over the other, it has to be Battle Chess II. An very unique take on Chinese chess that ends up being surprisingly entertaining. This game nails everything the original does but simply done better. As an whole one of the best among my set for this bundle.

2. Redneck Rampage Collection

An friend of mine got me interested in these games many years ago. All three of them are among the last made on the famous Build engine. Which is similar to Duke 3D, Shadow Warrior & Blood with it's own differences. You are taking on rednecks, aliens and animals in all three games. Thankfully you do get an great weapon set to work with. The first two games share the same sound track that's my favorite for this series. I do like Redneck Rampage Rides Again sound track but it didn't feel complete to me. Most problems I do have with these games are shared. Some enemies like big aliens, dogs & alien ladies take a lot of ammo. Some enemies are quicker than you moving even with the power up increasing your speed to hit. Some enemies like small aliens & jackalopes gang up on you often. For those who doesn't know what an jackalope is, imagine an angry over sized wild rabbit with antlers similar to an reindeer. I am not going to lie there are some dirty jokes in these games. For example in Redneck Rampage Rides Again in some levels. Two enemies are doing sexual stuff close by. You don't see much but it's there in the game somehow. I also like the controls as it's similar to some shooters at the time. Some levels in Redneck Rampage Rides Again are very dark. No not gothic or horror dark, we are talking you have to move through very dark areas with limited lights. The bosses are okay for the most but I still prefer them over Shadow Warrior's. My biggest complaint against all three games that everyone agrees. I can't believe how massive a lot of these maps actually are. Yes Final Doom did that in both episodes but it worked a lot better. Especially in Redneck Rampage Rides Again, the levels are very large, difficult to memorize & confusing. Redneck Rampage Rides Again does allow you to drive an motorcycle and air boat. The first Redneck Rampage felt incomplete as it didn't bring the level of detail the later games had. Yes all three of them are tough games to complete without codes. I recommend if you are new or don't have the patience. You can cheat that makes it a lot more fun but in some ways more frustrating. It's better than no clipping in Shadow Warrior. Like Blood, Shadow Warrior & Duke 3D, Redneck Rampage does parody movies. Mostly camp cult movies like Toxic Avengers series which I'm an fan of. Although unlike those games, it's more of an parody on rednecks in general. Yes this is an controversial game that some are amazed it exists. Honestly I know I did hit these games hard. I do like them all a lot especially counting that bundle I got them in. I would say as an whole a lot better than Shadow Warrior. It will take time getting use to how these games works. Redneck Rampage got an great expansion from the same company who made the following expansions below...

1. The Cryptic Passage for Blood (My favorite of their expansions)
2. Duke it out in D.C. & Duke Caribbean: Life's a Beach
3. Wanton Destruction (Shadow Warrior)

These games aren't for everybody but those who like shooters or parodies like these or just want something different. I will recommend these weird yet good shooter series to you.

3. Earthworm Jim 3D

Earthworm Jim 3D is known as one of the absolute worst video sequels in history. Everything about it is so hilariously bad that I refuse to keep playing it. Especially despite what it took from the first two games. You really can't help noticing how incredibly different it is. Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts has an similar problem but an much better. At least that took parts of what made the first two games such an hit. Earthworm Jim 3D was made by an different team to create an full 3D Earthworm Jim game. Interplay wanted it to be similar to Super Mario 64 & Banjo series. The team clearly didn't pay attention to what made Earthworm Jim series an hit. What's worse is this originally got released on N64. I am playing it's PC port which isn't much better. According to many people it's worse but that's debatable in and of itself. The boss fights are all the same, all you have to do is collect an hundred orbs. You can do most of it without attacking the bosses until you have to. For me an boss fight should be you against them with real challenge. No real way around it, you take them on. Plus it really would help if all of them were different. Earthworm Jim 3D is so amazingly bad that I almost didn't pay it. Officially considering the bundle I basically got this for free. This game is just an cheap rip off of much better N64 platformers. The original team was pissed that they couldn't make this game. To date this move was one of Interplay's worst. You would think the gold stuff you're collecting opens levels & bosses right? No simply collecting regular marbles does that makes those gold things useless. I will say for those who enjoy or test their skills by playing bad games. You think you play games than by all means play games like this or Superman 64. I am not kidding it's almost as bad as Bubsy 3D on PlayStation. This is what happens when you change the teams with as little information and tight schedule.

4. Shogo: Mobile Armor Division

I knew about this game for many years. I didn't know until after seeing it among the selection of games for this bundle that Interplay owns it. Like many shooters having parody of movies. Shogo decides to take inspiration from mech animes like Gundam, Neon Genesis Evangelion & Robotech. I am going to be straight with you that I have a lot to cover with this game both good & bad. This was release an month before Blood 2: The Chosen with striking similarities. Just like Blood 2, Shogo does share some of it's issues. For example some of the absolute worst AI I ever seen. Their aim is deadly with an critical system affecting everyone is both an blessing & an curse. You could gun them several enemies much easier but they can do the same to you just as quickly. Both your character & mech get their own weapons which I like a lot. Some are mixed about why both of them play so similar even with differences considered. Some made an great point that back then no one nailed mech games that go into between several game play styles. Honestly I am happy with what we got. The story is okay with average voice acting. With the possible exception of people screaming, most sounds in general are excellent. All people models are heavily dated for it's era but I love all mech models. Most levels are short but easy to memorize. A few levels you will visit a few times but unlike Blood 2's train level. They made sure to keep it refresh to an degree. This also has two endings that determines who will be your final boss. Regardless both of them are real possibilities that could happen. I honestly didn't care for the main character. Sorry guys it's true, I find him boring & annoying most of the time. Most bosses are almost the same that is disappointing. How each level plays into their respective objectives does work a lot better than that of Blood 2's. This is one of my favorite games in the bundle. Shogo is best played either taking your time without cheating or go in gun blazing with codes. Both take time to get to but I recommend both ways of playing it. Very limited amount of enemy types compared to so many shooters. Roughly an handful that's it seriously go count them yourselves. I do like this more than Blood 2 but this is on the thin line of what I would rank an game.

5. Prehistorik 1+2

Can you believe the same company who made Superman 64 had good games? Yes it's true because an short lived game series called Prehistorik was among their most popular games. Surprisingly both these games are very different each other like comparing Duke Nukem 2 to Duke Nukem 1. Prehistorik 2 is an solid platformer that's still fresh today. Not everyone will enjoy Prehistorik 1 due to it's controls take longer to get use to. Both has great sound tracks with amazing sound effects for their time. For the most part you get from point A to point B. Both games has a loose hit system with barely any invulnerable period between hits. I grew up with an Genesis game called Chuck Rock which is similar to these games. Prehistorik 2 does have an password system. I felt if Prehistorik 1 had one, it would make the game a little bit better.

6. Earthworm Jim 1+2: The Whole Can 'O Worms
If you were growing up in the 90s. Chances are you probably heard of Earthworm Jim. An forgotten video game mascot whose success was short lived. Earthworm Jim got an hand of games and an cartoon during the high of it's popularity. The first two games were originally released on Sega Genesis. Still to this day two of the most popular among Interplay's games. Both of these games were amazing for their time. Controls in this version of both games does take time getting use to. Trying to change the controls can be challenging. Honestly both of them are very solid platformers that more people should play. Some of the weirdest level designs & bosses you will ever see. Earthworm Jim has an strange sense of humor that not everyone will get. What I really like about this port is both games has an password system. Of course not everything made the trip from Genesis to DOS well but considering the natural of these titles. I still give them praise for getting them there. Also I am not saying these are bad ports because they aren't. These are some of the finest within Interplay's collection of games.

7. Kingpin: Life of Crime

Honestly considering it's engine was already technically dated for it's time. The team behind this still made an very good game. All levels look more realistic compared to Quake with most characters being very well designed. Great controls with interesting game mechanics to keep things fresh & addicting. It is easy to cheat which makes Kingpin a lot more fun to play. Sometimes you will get confuse where to go or what to do. This game does allow you to recruit people to help even the odds. I like buying your stuff in stores which predates games like Resident Evil 4. Now I think about it this is more like Saint Rows series in so many ways. Probably the most mind blowing fact about this game is still an tough pill to swallow. The team that made Redneck Rampage series made this. Who later in an new company made Return to Castle Wolfenstein. After playing this following Return to Castle Wolfenstein despite both games run on different engines. You can't deny they're very similar in many areas. This is easily one of the finest among Interplay Build Your Own Bundle.

8. MDK

As an kid growing up with many game consoles. I did own MDK on PlayStation never getting far in it. After buying this bundle with my selection, I'm glad I bought MDK again. There are several notable differences between both versions. To me Kurt looks more like an real person in PC version but slightly compared to PS version. I would say PS version does have better controls but I do the PC version controls to an degree. It will take time getting use to but you're in for quite an action pack game. As stated earlier you play as Kurt with the sequel revealing a lot more about him. To sum it up he was an janitor that was forced to become the hero to save the universe from an tyrant. What is Interplay's deal with strange humor & cows? Seriously in just my set alone most of these games has an great amount of both. This was one of the first games to have sniping feature which was new back then. Sadly there is only six levels but each one can take an while to get through. This is one of the best games in Interplay Build Your Own Bundle.

9. MDK 2

An different team working on the sequel to MDK. Usually when an game company changed it's developers. Things get ugly within any fan base that it happens to. Lucky for Interplay, MDK 2 is an exception. You get to play as three characters during the entire game. Each one plays more different than the last as if this were three different games in one. Kurt from the first game is back for more action. Mostly the same arsenal with better controls makes it more fun to play. Max is an machine four armed dog humanoid that loves his guns. Interesting fact in the original MDK, Max was originally named Bones. Honestly Max does fit him better with an new personality. Dr. Hawkin is the joke character whose also an scientist. Most of his arsenal is stuff you find around the house. Sometimes you have to combine things but trust me by doing this. It will save your life many times. As much as it is fun to be Kurt, Max really addicting to play. You can easily switch out your guns at most of the time. Some areas are always filled with them making those much easier. If you are low on ammo in some areas as Kurt, you are screwed. They made the levels shorter but more interesting & better design. Everything works well but it does take time getting use to the controls. I will say this is hands down one of the best games Interplay ever made. I should mention this was BioWare's first game whose widely known for Mass Effect series.

10. Toonstruck

An forgotten point & click classic that surprised me it exists for many reasons. This is one of the few of those style games Interplay owns. As of right now the creator of Toonstruck is attempting to make an sequel after all these years. I should mention the main character Drew is played by Chrisopher Lloyd. What's interesting is Lloyd was in an similar movie to this game unrelated called Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Although he was Judge Doom the main bad guy in that movie. Lloyd is the hero of Toonstruck in such an weird game for it's time. I grew up loving slap stick comedy cartoons. They put a lot of thought in everything you can do. Memorizing is required with an great guide or video series. Surprisingly great voice acting with interesting art work for it's time. This game is the easiest in controls within this bundle. But you could easily get loss or confused during it if you aren't careful. You can explore several areas for items & clues to help you an idea where to go next. I highly recommend take your time as often as your patience allows. Toonstruck stands out in other ways too. Wacme is an reference to Acme from the Looney Tunes cartoons. Those two guys are some of my favorite characters. It's an shame they don't play an bigger part in it. Drew becomes likable during the entire game. Flux can be annoying but he sure has his moments. This is an game you could lose if you forgot one thing too many later on. I do recommend this to anyone into those style of games.

Now it's time to rank all the games from worst to best. Of course with an line up this good. Everyone will have their own lists but majority should have some in the same places.

10. Earthworm Jim 3D

I hope you guys enjoy this bundle review. They recently did it again with mostly the same selection. But I felt I got the very best & worst of this bundle. I am very happy with my first real purchase on GOG's service. Until next time I'm Jack Red & I'll see all of you later.

Jack Red reviews Indie Legends Pick & Mix (Bundle Stars)

Special Thanks Roll Down
Lab Zero Games (Skullgirls)
Minor Key Games (Super Win The Game)
Big Robot Ltd (Sir, You Are Being Hunted)

Bundle Stars

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, on Friday of the week Bundle Stars had it's fourth birthday. I was dead set on buying Batman: Arkham Knight Bundle. As soon as I seen Indie Legends Pick & Mix, my plans quickly changed. For those who are new to the term Pick & Mix it is another title for Build Your Own Bundle.

Just like Interplay Build Your Own Bundle from GOG, all of these were my selection out of fifteen games. I ended up buying eight of them for five bucks with all of them almost being an hundred dollars. I used the remaining amount of money to buy Second Encore update for Skullgirls. I really wanted the full experience with all these games.

They released this deal shortly after Indie Legends 5. Most of their selections were games included in previous bundles. Regardless one of the best selections for build your own bundle I ever seen. I highly recommend anyone with a little more than an day left to go buy this bundle.

1. Cook, Serve, Delicious!

This is an restaurant sim game where you cook, clean and make drinks. The goal of the game is do your best keeping up with your orders. The big goal not a lot of people can achieve is getting your restaurant five stars. At first depending if you played some games with cooking or haven't before like myself. Yes timing is everything especially during rush hours. You have to try your best to stay on top of it. Eventually with money you earn, there is many upgrades to your restaurant & menu. I got to say I was very surprised how good this game actually is. You have to pay close attention to some of the stuff you're serving. Let me put it into an different angle. Stuff like chicken tenders, lasagna & chores are the same exact thing every time. Some food has many options you have to pay attention to what each customer is asking for. An great example of this is baked potatoes. Later on you will unlock catering and carry outs. You can date someone during the course of the game. This is an amazing game you can quickly get use to as you're playing it. Yes to officially beat it you have to push yourself hard. Honestly it is just easier & better for your health to not take it that seriously.

2. Lethal League

Mostly an multiplayer game for both off & online play. There does exist single player in the form of challenge mode. Although this is an fighting game, your goal isn't directly fighting. Instead you are basically playing an game similar to dodge ball. You & your opponent hits the ball around until someone gets hit in the face. You or them have to do this several times to win the match. Very cool retro style graphics with some good songs. It is okay compared to Skullgirls but still worth mentioning. I also like you can play this with an controller. You only get to play as six characters with slightly more levels. I prefer to play with a little more characters with fewer levels. Of course there's plenty of options out there for fighting games. I will say Lethal League is an good game but making it only multiplayer does hurt the game.

3. Insurgency

Not to be confused by The Divergent movie or related mod called Insurgency. This is one of those only multiplayer soldier based FPS games. You can have a lot of guns in most modes. I could understand not having an single player campaign. But it really didn't make up for it being missing. An great mod that is worth mentioning that doesn't have an single player campaign is GoldenEye Source. Everyone knows how repetitive online play can be. Can you imagine how repetitive playing by yourself is in comparison? Counter-Strike that's widely known for it's repetitive game play works just fine playing by yourself. How did they screw something like that up is beyond me. You can go up in the ranks but unlike most FPS games. The only way to do that is to win matches. Good luck trying to get high in the ranking. Honestly this isn't much different from similar games. Yes I know I'm hitting this game hard but I do like the look of the actual game. The controls do work great with an workshop support makes it easier to come back to. It is difficult for me to recommend it as stated before. There are better shooters especially online exclusive games are better than this. Now for an indie FPS game it is good but not great. Lethal League was somewhat interesting in it's concept. I think they over hyped this game a little too much. I will say I do like it to an degree but isn't doing much for me.

4. Skullgirls

This is an amazing fighting game for it's time. For a lot of people it's difficult to believe an small indie developer made such an master piece. Skullgirls is one of the few exceptions to most fighting games. Usually most fighters are male with not many female ones. This game is the opposite having more female fighters with an handful male ones. I love I can play this with an controller. Everything possible way this game blew my mind with it's sheer awesomeness. Very impressive graphics with an amazing soundtrack & awesome sound effects. There is plenty modes to play to keep you coming back for more. I really can't say enough about this game. In fact I knew as soon as I saw it among the fifteen games I had to have it. I went the extra mile by buying all it's dlcs in one go to get the complete experience. It was really worth every penny, I highly recommend this to most fighting game fans.

5. Sir, You Are Being Hunted

The concept of this game is somewhat unique. Officially this is an hunting stealth game. You can change the other four islands you get to explore locations. This also allows you to change every enemy's AI from being gone to easy to difficult in that order. There are a few characters to play as with each having different starting inventory set ups. You can loot places for health, bandages & food. All of that by itself reminds me of Fallout series. It does take time getting use to the controls but they do work. This game requires a lot of patience & being in the right mindset to play. Sometimes trying to find an save spot can be tricky. Yes you have to pay attention to your health at all times. One minute you are fine then suddenly hunger kicks in. Your health starts falling down fast forcing you to work quickly to save yourself. I get why they done it that way to make it more realistic. When it comes to stealth games there isn't anything as close as good as Metal Gear series. I would say I could recommend it to people but an select few. To me this game does feel empty and needs some improvements.

6. Super Win The Game

An follow up to You Have To Win The Game. Both games are based on NES games of that style especially Metroid. You will quickly get use to each location with each new thing you gain makes the game easier. I should tell you that dying will happen more often than you may be use to. Thankfully someone made all the maps for this game. Some areas are massive & confusing to get there. Yet those weren't as close as annoying as trying to figure out what to do before that point. Seriously you need to have a lot of patience. Easy check points with the game always automatically saving your process. I am very surprised you never once in the entire game get an weapon. You have to constantly avoid enemies depending on areas can be tricky & in some cases frustrating. You could keep finding keys or buying them but you could save yourself all that trouble by buying an skeleton key. Some areas are very well hidden that I recommend using that website I stated earlier to help. I do like the sound track but sound effects are okay. Some abilities do make the game more fun like wall jumping or becoming immune to several hazards. This game requires a lot of memorizing especially near the end of the game. Also this game has the shortest ending credits I ever seen. In conclusion it is better than half this bundle but the other half being far superior in their own right.

7. Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition
I never thought I would play an game like Castlevania: Symphany of the Night ever again. Until I played Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition. This is the definition version adding more to the gold version. You play as an man who becomes an mexican wrestler to save an woman. But you have to deal with every obstacles in both the world of the living & of the dead. I like how they went about the map system very clever. Every upgrade adds more depth to the overall game. Impressive artwork with great voice acting. Some of the finest puzzles I ever seen in any platform game. You could take hours in most locations since even town maps are huge. Most important areas are massive especially the last couple. Each boss fight pushes you harder then you would expect. An great variety of enemies with an awesome soundtrack & sound effects. Not only this is one of the greatest indie games I ever played. This is now one of absolute favorite platform games. Plus you can add costumes for free from the workshop. This game honestly blows my mind how great it actually is.

8. Freedom Planet

An unique Sonic clone that surprisingly gave me the same feeling from first playing those classic Sonic games. The only Sonic clone so far to do that. Freedom Planet heavily inspired by those games with traits from other platformers. Very amazing artwork, graphics, audio and controls. You start out with two characters but can unlock an third one. Each character plays very different making the game more interesting. Great bosses that do require memorizing and patience. Carol can ride an motorcycle that makes some of her levels more fun. You do two versions of each character's game either in classic or adventure. Classic is like classic Sonic games with some cut scenes. Adventure does change the level line up with more cut scenes to give you more story about what's going on. Everything in this game is incredibly done well. I would go as far to say this is one of my favorite indie games ever. I am really impressed all the work that went into this. I should mention any dlc coming to this game will be free & automatically added now how awesome is that? Freedom Planet has some of the finest retro modern game levels I ever seen. They did an amazing job keeping the replay level high.

This following list going from the worst to the best. Now the lowest my bundle goes is okay meaning none of these sucks. I am very glad I bought all of them together in such an amazing bundle.

Top 5 One Piece Theories (Jack Red Edition)

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I been wanting to write this for some time. Everyone has some ridiculous One Piece theories. Of course I have my own that may blow some people's minds to an degree. All of these are completely based on my beliefs alone.

5. Big Mama is the most mentally disorder driven character
One Piece has it's fair share of personalities. Big Mama probably has the most twisted mindset to date. She has constant obsessive eating disorder even swallowing people without caring. She also suffers from what I now call Negan syndrome. Everyone has to work ignoring the true reality behind her actions. Anyone who opposes her, attempts leaving her crew or refuses to go to one of her tea parties are asking for death. She wants complete control over everything you do. She has one of the biggest armies in the entire world. She officially been married over forty men in her life time. Each marriage brought alliances but also different races into her family. Her dream is to me the most mess up among every One Piece character. She wants to have children of every race and yes I do mean every single race there is. Then she would increase their size to that of giants to have an family dinner. Is it me or does characters within Alice in Wonderland make more sense.

4. Kaido will come after Luffy sooner than most expect
It's no secret Kaido wants Luffy dead. Thanks to Law, the most powerful beast just loss some of his biggest supports. Caesar got kidnapped several times who made weapons for Kaido & artificial devil fruits. Doflamingo helped Kaido by giving him weapons & connections to powerful people. The Strawhat Pirates got two SAD machines destroyed. Luffy with his some members of his crew took down Doflamingo's crew in Dressrosa. All of this really pissed Kaido off to no end. I believe carefully paying attention to what's going on. It is likely either close to the end of the current arc or next major one will be Kaido coming after him. Considering his crew is facing several major threats over an great distance from each other. This would allow Kaido to arrive at the worst possible time during the conclusion of that story arc. Another possibility is Luffy decides to go straight after Kaido instead of going towards one step closer to One Piece. Regardless Kaido will do whatever it takes to stop Luffy. This guy should have some powerful connections to make it very difficult for Luffy's crew to stay in one place for long. Which leads to another likely possibility that their battle could occur at sea. Shortly after an intense ship battle, both crews arrive at the nearest island or two to go after each other.

3. All Blue hidden in an cave

Before I even start talking about All Blue. I heard some really ridiculous fan theories about it. Some of which to me doesn't even sound like One Piece no offense. What we all know about All Blue is every fish in the entire world are all within this one spot. What surprisingly makes the most sense is this would mean All Blue has to be in the very heart of all the oceans. Thus it is possible an difficult to find spot in an particular cave should have All Blue. Clearly going around the entire world on, above & below isn't where All Blue located at. Strongly believed to be an myth by many people. It would make sense an rare cave possibly on the same island that has One Piece also got All Blue. If this were the case then deep in the cave lower carefully hidden. Water being small amount yet connected to all the oceans with every fish known to man. All Blue is difficult to find for an reason. It never was in plain sight with majority already believing it's an myth. Without any real solid proof of it's existence already got plenty loss interest in search of it.

2. There exists complete collaboration devil fruits

There are all kind of devil fruits including those I can't believe actually exists. But considering there's so many dog breed devil fruits. People wondered if there exists devil fruits that's all of an particular category in one. Then Caesar's Gas Gas Fruit got revealed to blow many people's minds. As stated the user has control over virtually every type of gases. The big question is could there exist an devil fruit having powers all within one of three categories? I believe it is likely they do exist but very rare to find. Just imagine having every parmeica, logia or zoan powers at your disposal. I expect Kaido might have eaten the Zoan Zoan Fruit giving him all their abilities. Of course just having one of three would be insanely difficult to control. We already seen plenty of what many of them can do. Very few are already considered gods like Rumble Rumble Fruit. Yes this would be incredibly difficult to take seriously if it were true. At least in comparison to Yhwach in Bleach. By having all three of these devil fruits. In their own way does fit in with what's going on in the story. Thankfully there is so much the author could do with this concept that people could be writing theories nonstop.

1. The real reason why world government made sure everyone doesn't know about the twenty first king is because he has D. in his name

I actually have an very interesting theory about what happened to this mysterious kingdom. Over eight hundred years ago, there exists twenty one kingdoms. Three of them were working together for an better world. But majority of them didn't like it which cause major tragedies to happen. I believe these corrupt kings paid their servants in those kingdoms to willing kill their own kings. They carefully planned it to have an unexpected replacement to take their places. The last good king didn't realize things were about to get much worse. As soon as he heard his alliance with two kingdoms was no more. The other kings went way too far to damage him beyond repair. They quickly turned his own people against him. Shortly after his family & close friend are getting murdered. Of course they want to show how powerless he actually was. So instead of flat out killing them, they forced him to do it. But before this scenario happens his family were already going to leave the kingdom. Many years later some of the highest rank in the world government covers all & any information. Such as One Piece and this forgotten kingdom. Everyone knows the celestial dragons are descendants of those corrupt kings. It is widely stated both world government & the celestial dragons doesn't like people with D. in their names. I may came across the very reason why that may be. It is very possible the last good king of that kingdom could've had D. in his name. As stated anyone with D. in their name are very will driven people. It would make perfect sense to fear that level of determination could bring them down. It is also likely that king could've been an ancestor to Luffy's family. Which would also explain why the marines are working harder each time to attempt capturing him & his crew. It is very likely the same legendary island  to have One Piece may have been the very one to have that kingdom. It is obvious the world government really doesn't want the world to know it's true history. Everything they thought the marines stands for is an big flat lie. In fact it is likely some marines are descendants of people who helped screw over that king to start the world government. What many expect is the truth being hidden on those polygraphs. This lie is so bad that it would tear the entire world a part. It is very likely Luffy's father already uncovered the truth they been hiding under everyone's noses. I honestly could go a little further but isn't this already mind blowing enough.

The Final Week of Halloween-A-Thon #7 What Halloweens means to me

Happy Halloween, My friends tonight we pay tribute to such an awesome holiday. Of course some doesn't feel that way for great reasons. This is for those really into Halloween like myself. No other holiday not even Christmas has more movies than Halloween. There also exists a few horror shows with all kind of different directions in each events.

As an kid Halloween always felt unique to me. More recently in gaming both major & indie developers are making horror games. There is so much I could talk about relating to Halloween. I could be doing an ridiculous amount of blogs with no real end.

My favorite horror game series has always been Resident Evil series. Yes to some degree it doesn't stay close to horror. I always had an strong connection since my child hood. There is some interesting concepts with the viruses to creatures. All of it is greater to what inspired it, Night of the Living Dead.

I should give an shout out to an awesome indie game Deadly 30. I will talk more about it in one of my next blog entries. I highly recommend such an amazing game. I also recommend Silent Hill 1-3 since those are easily some of the finest horror games. Of course how could you complete gaming side of Halloween without Zombies Ate My Neighbors. This game as an whole is an tribute for many years of horror movies. An precursor to Dead Rising series which has strong similarities to ZAMN.

Everyone has their own belief on what Halloween should be. For some you & people close to you has to get scared. For others it's all about watching an large amount of horror movies. For an rare few it's about seeing kids getting happy from all that candy they got from people. For me Halloween is suppose to represent everything that's suppose to terrify people. It should be every possibilities with & without creatures.

Halloween is truly special for being the one holiday to constantly surprise people. Yes you could get surprise from getting something you really wanted for Christmas. You never know what to expect for Halloween each year. Some people go out of their way to make their houses spooky with some people having an fog machine.

I should mention there are a lot of places like Jason's Woods & Kim's Krypt. You go to those places close to or on Halloween to get scared. Some of these places go the extra mile making it intense, scary and difficult to predict. This is almost like surviving an horror movie. There is no other direct way to explain the feeling from those places.

Some places mostly carnivals has an haunted ride. Those are okay compared to some farms doing haunted hay rides. Now those are the real haunted rides I recommend more people to try. You with a lot of people get on an large vehicle going around most of the farm. It is amazing how much work they put into these rides. If you can't go to places like Jason's Woods or Kim's Krypt. This would be the next best thing.

A lot of people dress up in costumes for conventions. Which is special in & off itself but the feeling of doing it on Halloween. To me I felt very good dressing up on Halloween compared to going to Otakon. Some go the extra mile to make their costumes scarier. I love it when some get creative with it.

There is something about the Fall season that brings the whole spirit of Halloween together. I would go as far to say you are more likely to get an nice cool Halloween night. I know some would love to get more white Christmas. I am referring to when it snows on Christmas. Fall not only fits in perfectly for Halloween. It really works best at night with so many people walking around.

Words alone can't come close to fully explaining how much Halloween means to me. I really look forward to Cinemassacre's Monster Madness as an while. I always welcome someone doing their own Halloween marathon. This guy reviews so many horror movies that the list is possibly endless by today's standards. It is sad to see him doing his final major Monster Madness. Although a lot of good will come out of it.

One of my personal favorite things for Halloween is The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episodes. All of them are similar to many classic horror shows. Regularly doing three different stories per an episode. These usually are high among most Simpsons fans favorite episodes. They allow stuff regular episodes wouldn't. Such as popular characters gets killed or sick jokes or simply out there. Which compared to The Simpsons is saying a lot.

Everyone knows a lot about these episodes. Ever since Season 2, every year we been getting these amazing episodes. I should talk a little about the canon Halloween episode. Officially it is in the middle of the pack but interesting to finally see how Halloween would be like at the Simpsons house. I also like the brief joke part about the next episode being Treehouse of Horror episode.

This concludes my first The Final Week of Halloween marathon. I thank everyone whose been reading these or very much into the holiday as myself.

Jack Red reviews Cinemassacre's Monster Madness X

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I know some of his fans want to hear my opinion. Cinemassacre has been doing Monster Madness for ten years now. Just like The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episodes. I usually look forward to it as I kept getting more excited for Halloween. I am here to review the last of these marathons for many people out there.

I will review it in all six categories to the best of my abilities. I felt doing it this way would make it easier for those reading it. Also regularly he does an theme in some marathons while others doesn't have one. I got to say this is one of his best marathons to date. This is what I personally would call an true Halloween experience.

Modern Mondays

James reviews an movie released in the last few years. He never clarify how recent they have to be. I will say he is picking movies I wouldn't watch until someone close to me recommends it. Out of them I am oddly enough the most interested in seeing Tusk. Who ever heard of stuff an movie & directed by Kevin Smith of all people. It bags a lot of questions but I am willing to find an copy of it to watch some day.

These would be modern Halloween classics to many people. I only seen Lumberjack Man very recently but these do seem interesting. I do agree newer horror movies isn't breaking enough ground to stand out. Some of these movies still got many people's attention. He did say most of his reviews are recommendations. I will consider checking the rest of the movies for Modern Mondays. This is better than WTF Wednesdays, Blood-Thirsty Thursdays and Fraken-Fridays. Which is saying a lot & I wasn't expecting to like it that much.

Top Ten Tuesdays

As stated in an related blog, this was one of my favorite categories for this marathon. James decided to do a lot of lists covering the best of Golden, Silver & Bronze Age of Horror Movies. He did recommend an handful of Silent Age horror movies. He clearly put a lot of work into those videos. Easily some of his finest list videos to date.

Four videos with over nine lists covering seventy movies. I was very impressed how well done all these videos turned out. Clearly a lot of editing but James out did himself with all videos. Easily the category of this year's Monster Madness standing out. Although personally I would've put the 90s in Bronze Age of Horror Movies but I understand his reasons for not doing it. I got to say this really didn't disappoint in any way. In my opinion these are the spirit of Halloween.

WTF Wednesdays

James reviews mess up movies that make little to no sense or flat out weird. You could consider this Camp Cult sequel as it kinda has that going for it. Terror Firmer is one of the sickest movies I ever seen. Every horror movie has seen their fair share of out there horror movies that's difficult to take seriously. Hell all of them would make an great marathon of movies to watch one night with your friends.

James really picked some mess up movies indeed. Most of these are difficult to come by. Each movie kept getting weirder with each following Wednesday. Honestly I am happy with his selection of movies for that theme. Only because I recently seen Terror Firmer I would say that's the best of them. But if I could check the remaining movies out. I'm sure I will like what I see.

Blood-Thirsty Thursdays

This is for vampire fans like myself, as an kid Vampires were one of my favorite fictional beings. You know people who can't get enough zombies, I'm the guy who can't get enough of vampires. Creatures that supposedly do all the way back to when the dinosaurs walked the Earth in myth & legends. Vampires has an very strong following in horror movies alone. I could easily do an entire Halloween marathon of them. I will give the final decision to you guys.

James broke an record by reviewing an movie that got canceled. Wolfman vs. Dracula as he stated later become parts of several movies. I got to be honest I was happy with his choices for Blood-Thirsty Thursdays. I am an huge fan of vampire movies with all the ones he did on those days I haven't seen. Vampires is truly one of the scariest fictional creatures to date. Based on what I heard The Lost Boys may be the best among all of them. I will always support an vampire or vampires over most fictional beings. In an sense these reviews would be following both parts of Sequel-A-Thon 1 and 2 with Dracula movies.

Franken-Fridays

This may surprise people but I really like Frankenstein's Monster. Easily the most neutral horror movie character in history. There exists many versions of Frankenstein with similar movies through out the years. When Franken movies are bad they explode in an way people won't shut up about. Frankenstein is an legendary name in pop culture that will never die.

For the most part I am happy with his choices of Frankenstein movies. An spiritual successor to both Sequel-A-Thon 1 & 2 parts covering Frankenstein movies. I felt Frankenstein Meets The Space Monster should've been used on WTF Wednesdays since it isn't technically an Frankenstein movie. Also I do agree to some degree Mary Shelley's Frankenstein wasn't perfect. It still stands as one of the best adaptations of Frankenstein novel. Victor Frankenstein does center more of Dr. Frankenstein's relationship with Igor than the actual monster. I still like that movie a lot compared to many movies with Frankenstein's Monster.

Weekend Whatevers

An follow up to all those marathons without an theme. Basically any movie James wants to review. Honestly I am glad he make it the weekend since more people would be home. Also because people watch more movies they regularly wouldn't during the week. This is allowing James to be more refreshing when he needs to be. For example he reviewed one of my favorite movies, Clash of the Titans. I don't know what it is about that movie but I loved it with an passion.

James covers the most movies on Saturdays & Sundays under Weekend Whatevers. He reviews ten movies that bring something different & unique to the genre. I wasn't expecting James to be creative with his choices but I'm very mind blown by them. Last Saturday of this month, he talks about an forgotten Halloween tradition. Most people today wouldn't know back then some companies went the extra miles of scaring people. Funny enough he also reviewed Matinee that's based on that concept. This is continuing all previous Monster Madness marathons with no theme. Honestly this is the best out of all those marathons. I would go as far to say this is the closest of rivaling Top Ten Tuesdays.

Top 10 Cinemassacre's Monster Madness (official list)
10. Camp Cult
9. Monster Madness 3
8. 80s-A-Thon
7. Godzillathon
6. History of Horror
5. Monster Madness 9
4. Monster Madness 8
3. Monster Madness X
2. Sequel-A-Thon
1. Sequel-A-Thon 2

I hope you guys enjoyed the marathon as much as I have. I will be starting an poll shortly after this goes up. If majority votes yes, I will be doing an follow up marathon. Where I will be covering the entire month of October with vampire movies. Regardless I will keep to support their work as I always have. If we do get more smaller marathons I will enjoy them as well. Until next time I am Jack Red & I'll see all of you later.

The Final Week of Halloween-A-Thon #6 Puppet Master series

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, I saved the biggest horror movie series for last. Puppet Master series is very underrated horror movies that more people need to watch. Yes it wasn't as good as it once was after the fifth movie. I still enjoy watching most of them with an passion. Puppet Master is easily one of the best long horror movie series to date. Of course this is mixed just like Scream by many people. This is my Halloween marathon, Puppet Master series does belong here for all the right reasons.

Please note this is before both Puppet Master: Axis Termination & Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich comes out. If you are wondering no review of either movie that's why. Also I will likely will be doing an double review blog entry of those movies to make up for it.

Puppet Master (1989)

The original Puppet Master is one of the best killer doll/toy movies in history. The story covers an group of psychics searching the place where Andre Toulon died. Unknown to him, someone has control of his puppets. These puppets doesn't require strings, they move around similar to Chucky from Child's Play series. Yet how they go about things is very different. They only server their master that brought them all back to life. I am an huge fan of these puppets since my child hood. My personal favorite since the very beginning of my time getting into those movies has always been Blade. One of the few puppets to appear in every Puppet Master movie to date. Some of the most goriest kills in that category horror movie series. Especially when the puppets turn on their master. Still among one of their best kills to date as all of them are working together to kill him. Keep in mind Fullmoon Features was partnered with Paramount at the time. This was during Fullmoon Features prime as some of their best movies came out in those years including this one. Puppet Master is still one of the scariest low budget horror movies for many reasons.

Puppet Master II: His Unholy Creation (1991)

Oh man Puppet Master II to me was my favorite among the original five Puppet Master movies. The story involves the puppets brought Andre Toulon back to life. The puppets are killing people to come back to their master with particular parts of them. All of this leaves to one of the most disturbing endings in any horror movie sequels. This is occurring at the same place in the original Puppet Master movie. This also introduces one of my absolute favorite puppets named Torch. You don't want to piss this guy off because when he's angry everything gets set on fire. He looks more like an mix between an crazy Nazi & some kind of tank man. I didn't think they could top the final kill of the original but they did. It's even more difficult to watch because it is way more intense & violent. This particular kill isn't for those of an fainted heart or children. I love how all of this plays out so well with an ending you wouldn't expect. You learn a little more about the puppets which is always an good thing.

Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge (1991)

To most fans of the franchise this easily is their top favorite movie. I won't argue that but it comes more off like an war movie. Not an actual war movie, more like someone trying to escape the Nazis. I would recommend two Indiana Jones movies with them over this one. I am not saying this isn't an good movie. There are horror parts with some of the best kills in the whole series. One of my favorite kills involves another favorite puppet of mine Six Shooter. Andre drops him off where he climbs up an building. An high ranking Nazi officer was just coming out of the room to get gunned down falling out the window. This movie also explains the origins of Tunneler, Pinhead, Leech Woman & Blade. This is one of the earliest movies in the Puppet Master time line. I would say this is an amazing movie for what it is. Early on Toulon's wife gets murdered by an Nazi officer. The more this movie goes on you do feel for his pain. Some people would love him getting revenge on him. Which for many fans stands as one of the best kills of the series. Maybe not as sick as the previous two movies but it makes sense to fit that man's punishment. This stands as one of the best third horror movies or has number 3 in the title. Now some may not like it coming more off like an war movie than an actual horror movie. I felt to say it could count as an great mixture of the two movie genres.

Puppet Master 4: The Demon (1993)

An new puppet master revived Toulon's puppets. Of course many wondered how would the puppets react to an new master. This stands as one of the few movies where the puppets are good guys. This time he with his friends are in danger from an Egyptian god. This being summons smaller demons all connected to his minions into their world to hunt down the secret of Toulon's puppets. These creatures remind me of Gremlins or Critters but doesn't talk & nastier. I like watching the puppets fighting these demons off. Of course I should mention the special puppet that has the soul of Andre Toulon. It is debatable how this is possible because of that scene from the original movie. This puppet takes a lot of effort to revive but stands as one of the most powerful ever created. Honestly it kinda like Frankenstein except an man's soul gets transferred inside an puppet that uses electricity as an weapon. This puppet also comes with a few heads to switch between. Every time these demons dies, his minions die with them. Surprisingly this works more than you would expect it to. Without question one of the best fourth horror movies or has number 4 in the title.

Puppet Master 5: The Final Chapter (1994)

The final Puppet Master movie while Fullmoon Features was partnered with Paramount. This directly follows Puppet Master 4 similar to Halloween 2 & Halloween 5. This time Eygptian god is pissed enough to make an powerful small demon for himself. Yes this plays out very similar to the previous movie with a few notable differences. For one thing Torch wasn't presented in Puppet Master 4. This small demon is easily fighting off the puppets. One of their friends is alive at an hospital recently receiving messages that are helpful to what's going on. I would say this is one of the best fifth horror movies or has number 5 in the title. But I agree Puppet Master 4 by itself is better than this movie. This is usually considered the worst among the original five Puppet Master movies. It is not bad by any means, just wasn't as good as the previous movies. I do recommend this to many horror fans especially those into Puppet Master series like myself.

Curse of the Puppet Master (1998)

Sadly the series started to go down starting with this movie. Curse of the Puppet Master is one of the more recent events in the time line. The story follows an old man experimenting with things. He becomes obsessive with possibilities of Toulon's puppets. This led to many murders through out the whole movie. To me this movie stands as one of the worst in the franchise. For one it never exists how Leech Woman is there when back in Puppet Master 2. She just killed an man to get killed by his wife in an furnace. They did an great job keeping the puppets looking good. I felt this has some of the worst kills in any Puppet Master movie. The ending is probably the most rememberable part of the whole movie. He forced an man that's been working for him soul inside an new robot puppet that ends up killing him. In all honestly this felt rushed from the moment it starts. The movie keeps you wondering does any parts stand out except for the ending. Sadly no I can't recommend this movie not even among Puppet Master fans. This stands as one of the worst technically sixth horror movies I ever seen. I should mention this is where the series became direct to video. Probably wasn't the best idea but the other good thing surprisingly this movie has going for it. Although it wasn't great, it did revive the franchise which is mixed among people. I am happy about it since I can't get enough of them.

Retro Puppet Master (1999)

In my opinion the best out of the next five Puppet Master movies. Just when you thought this would suck like the previous movie it doesn't. Retro Puppet Master covers an great deal that many people didn't know about Toulon & his puppets. This is exactly what ended in Puppet Master 4 & 5. An young Toulon meets an strange man that forever changed his life. To sum it up this man gave Toulon the secret of life that gets used on his puppets. Similar to Puppet Master 3 where it shade light on those puppets origins. This move does that with his original puppets he gave life to. Easily the best told story in the newer Puppet Master movies. Some of the best newer kills are present here. Before Nazis came looking for that secret, an Egyptian god tried getting it first. All of this not only one of the absolute best horror movie prequels but also gives you an idea to many things to come. In an nut shell the whole legacy of these puppets started an long time before World War 2. I like Toulon is telling the newer puppets about his past. Sadly this was the last time Guy Rolfe does the character before he died in real life.

Puppet Master: The Legacy (2003)

To me this is the worst among all official Puppet Master movies. But second worst considering the unofficial cross over movie. Very new scenes are new because an lady is holding an man at gun point. This man later gets revealed to be not only the new puppet master but that boy Toulon met back in Germany. The entire movie is replaying several clips of the previous movies. There are better ways of going about such an concept. I kinda felt this was lazy because they should've cut it a little more. Then give us more of an story with newer footage instead. But we ended up getting ripped off with footage used from previous movies that it doesn't feel like an movie at all. Honestly it comes more off an like an poor science experiment you did for school to get laugh at. This is an joke officially this is one of the more recent in the time line yet it doesn't come off like that way. Some of the worst acting in any Puppet Master series. This is the only time the puppets kill their master with no reason given. I do like they show you how their new master knows of all these events. I highly recommend avoiding this movie at all costs. It is really not worth the attention by any means as it is simply an waste of your time & money.

Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys (2004)

This is the bottom of the barrel for a lot of great reasons. Charles Band & his company weren't involved with the making of this movie. In fact they did it without getting permission making it difficult to find on DVD because of it. The worst looking puppets in the entire franchise especially after they get upgraded. Upgraded really haven't these puppets did plenty of damage without it. Why in god's name do they need to ruin the appeal of the puppets by doing that. What's worse is they also used another of their franchises, Demonic Toys in this cross over movie. What's sad is those toys look better than the puppets. I should mention an evil toy company taking orders from Satan is behind all of this. An family with relations to Andre Toulon gets dragged into it. All of it felt more like an strange science experience than an actual Puppet Master or Demonic Toys movie. From what I heard there already exists an good cross over movie with Demonic Toys. Why did Syfy chose to do this route is beyond me. Everything in every category is below average with terrible acting. I personally consider this an insult to Fullmoon Features movies. Easily the worst cross over movie I ever seen. Even Boa vs. Python was an better movie and that sucks too.

Puppet Master: Axis of Evil (2010)

Six years after the abomination that is Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys. Fullmoon Features comes back with an interesting take. They realized they never covered what happened after Toulon's death to the puppets. Considering the original actor William Hickey the original guy who played Andre Toulon already passed away back in 1997. They used some of their original movie footage with newer ones. If you are taking the time to compare it, there are several things they got wrong. For example the guy in newer footage whose playing an dead Andre Toulon is Chinese. I am not by any means an racist, I am just pointing that out. They screwed up the wall paper designs which was very notable. This shades more light on those two guys looking for Toulon in the original. This is taking place directly after that scene of the original. An new puppet master who is trying to get into the military but can't. This guy is like Captain America in his beliefs for this era. I like the Nazis are working with the Japanese for an similar goal. Obviously they are waiting to screw each other over. Some of the sickest kills in the series is in this movie. Like the guy eating his dinner to get sucked by leeches. I will be honest to say this has an great story for what it is. Sure it's not perfect but considering what the angle is. I could live with that since I like the new Ninja puppet. This has mixed acting but an huge improvement over two movies counting that cross over.

Puppet Master: Axis Rising (2012)

An direct follow up to Puppet Master: Axis of Evil. Fullmoon Features took an page from Halloween series. They made an sequel not too long after with the story continuing right at the end of the previous movie. An mad Nazi general wants an army of the undead to conquer the world for Hitler. They brought an concept originally used in Puppet Master 3 with an similar character whose also an scientist. For the first time the puppets fights puppets because the Nazis created their own. Honestly half of them doesn't fit the theme at all. Bombshell's name is misleading as this puppet doesn't have explosives. I'm sure some of you seen the Fembots from Austin Powers. This puppet literately has the same weapons as them. Kamikaze is likely to be seen racist as this puppet has an Chinese man's soul. His weapon fits perfectly for his name because he blows himself up. But the racist part is this taking place close to World War 2. In our history we were fighting the Japanese while other nations were taking on Germany & Italy. Plus some could reference the Atomic Bomb event that would be too much. The only Nazi puppet I like is Blitzkreig whose similar to Torch. An robot tank that can fire bullets from it's two uneven machine guns. Blitzkreig also can electrocute people by touching them. Also this was the only puppet to fit the theme perfectly. Yes I got side tracked a little bit but some would like to know what I think of those puppets. The acting is not as good as the previous movie but an more interesting story. However it doesn't play out as good as the previous movie. Yes I know moving on the Nazi general doesn't getting kill very well. In the previous movie with another Nazi got an better death & he was much lower in ranks. Some characters got different actors but with the exception of Ozu, they do their characters better. Yes I did say the previous movie has better acting. I can't help the people playing them in this movie is doing them slightly better. Of course the script also plays an role in that. This movie was ridiculous in what it was attempting. Not bad but still miles below the great Puppet Master movies.

I am done reviewing movies, but I have something very personal to me coming next to conclude my marathon.

The Final Week of Halloween-A-Thon #5 Scream series

Hi everyone I'm Jack Red, sorry for an little tribute to Wes Craven. I knew I had to do Scream for my Halloween marathon. I never really got to say how I felt about movies made by him that I love so much. This is giving me the opportunity to do so as Scream stands as one of his greatest works. Scream is kinda mixed among horror movie fans. I always been an huge fan of these amazing movies.

In fact I'm dying to see Scream 5 if it ever comes out. Of course it won't be the sad without Wes Craven. I am not reviewing Scream show because it is more of it's own thing. I will be honest to say I would recommend it.

Scream (1996)

Although it was well received after it's release. This movie is often considered an gem as many people don't like it. I can understand that but this was the beginning of an great horror movie franchise. The story involves an teenager whose friends are being killed similar to horror movies. According to Wes Craven, one of it's inspirations was based on an real life event. Now that by itself does make the movie scarier. I remember in my child hood wearing an Ghostface costume. Unlike typical horror movies, the killer uses phones as an distraction. In order to sneak into your house or where you're at to kill you. Such an interesting concept of an horror movie with the killer being horror movie fans. I am not trying to ruin the twist relating to the killer for an reason. It kinda ruins the whole point of me trying to get you to see those movies if I told you more about Ghostface. Scream always stands as one of Wes Craven's greatest horror movies. I should mention Jamie Kennedy's character starts an pattern that changed with every movie kinda like Final Destination series.

Scream 2 (1997)

One of the absolute best horror movies that are technically second or has number 2 in the title. In some ways Scream 2 was better than the original. Our heroine is once again stalked by Ghostface. I felt most kills in Scream 2 plays more like typical horror movies that comes off more effective. Scream 2 had some of this series best twists from the very moment it starts. You are constantly wondering what's going on, of course that's how you should if seeing it for the first time. Scream 2 is easily one of Wes Craven's best sequel movies. It took what I loved about Scream and built it in just the right way as an great sequel should. Ghostface's performance is even more convincing than the original Scream. You could criticize some of the later parts but I love this movie with an passion. Scream 2 is one of the finest among slasher films especially to those heavily against Scream franchise. The rules are now following first horror movie sequels.

Scream 3 (2000)

Scream 3 stands as one of the greatest third horror movies or has number 3 in the title in history. Some could argue this is where the franchise started to go down. It didn't fall flat hard like most horror movie franchises. I will spoil one key thing about Ghostface. In my opinion this killer was the best of the entire series. This guy is very clever in almost everything he does in the whole movie. I am not spoiling who it is but still the killer is an man. The story continues with our heroine is getting stalked again in her home town. You learn a lot more about her mother's past. Some of the best kills are in this movie. Scream 3 is an master piece among horror movies that more people need to watch. I wouldn't say this was as unpredictable as Scream 2 but it comes very close. I do like how all of this plays out like some classic horror movies. Back then it was more on suspense, creativity and story. Which all of those are present in Scream 3. The rules are now following every third horror movies.

Scream 4 (2011)

An huge time gap between Scream 3 & Scream 4. In most cases doing an sequel in an huge amount of time passed doesn't work. This is one of those rare occasions where Scream 4 is an great sequel. Officially this is both an follow up to Scream 3 but also an reboot to the franchise. The story continues with our heroine is visiting town when these murders starts back up. Wes Craven's final Scream movie still blows me away. I like the cop scene where they are keeping watch talking about how cops die in horror movies. Scream 4 also has an major twist to make it more like an horror movie. Ghostface has an specialized headset camera recording almost every murder directly online. This concept was mind blowing because no body has ever attempted it yet. Although this does make it similar to an game called Manhunt which some may not like that. Scream 4 is easily one of the absolute best fourth horror movies or has number 4 in the title I ever seen. Honestly all four of these movies stands as one of the most constant horror movie franchises to date.

I hope you enjoy it because I have some small figures that won't play nice. It is not Chucky or an dummy named Slappy. Trust me even if I told you an direct hint you probably won't get it. Until next time I will burn myself to cleanse my soul for my hellish performance.
