Updated first post

$27 is way to much for those flix, only one worthwhile on there is Re-Animator

[DMHead777]

It's 27 dollars for 24 hours, plus there are at least 5-6 more movies that are going to be announced. I would think 27 dollars for at least 10-11 movies is very well worth it. Considering most movie theaters charge 10 dollars to see one movie.

[steelba]

That $10 is for a new movie you've never seen before, not ones you've seen at home a thousand times :starefreak:

That $10 is for a new movie you've never seen before, not ones you've seen at home a thousand times :starefreak:

How do you know people have seen all these movies before? Besides people put old movies back in theaters all the time and charge 10 dollars a ticket.

[steelba]

yeah I can't imagine to many horror fans have seen those yet, my bad

[DMHead777]

So, by your logic, you shouldn't pay 27 dollars to see all these movies? Considering this is Pontypool's Midwest premiere, should that already count for $10 of ticket sales? So, that leaves an additional $17 for 9 more movies. Let's hop to blockbuster to rent them..

9 movies..times 3-5 bucks a movie = 27-45 dollars
9 movies, at Musicbox Massacre price, = 17 dollars

Plus Stuart Gordon is going to be there, people can dress up, prizes will be given, and there will be merch booths.

What a ripoff?

[steelba]

$27 dollars is alot to pay for some really old films that aren't that great. Like I said Re-Animator is good but that's it.

Show some better flix then maybe...

Maniac, The Deadly Spawn, Return of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead 78', Friday the 13th Part 4 or 7, Demons, Zombie, Suspiria, The Hidden, From Beyond, Tenebre, would be a better list for that coin.

[DMHead777]

Like I said...

Usually there are 10 movies announced. Half of the movies have not been even announced yet. That's why people, like me, have not bought their tickets yet. But, I am announcing it anyway in case people, once again like me, love those movies and think it would be fun to see them on the big screen again.

[steelba]

well look at it this way, nobody else was replying to your thread now u've atleast made it to page 2 :cooldude:

[DMHead777]

It will still be lost and forgotten, like all the others.

[DMHead777]

3 more movies have been added

BLOOD FEAST
THE BROOD
FROM BEYOND

[steelba]

Brood and From Beyond are worthy.

[BigFatOgre]

Sounds cool to me. 24 hrs of horror movies is very cool, even if not all the flicks are great.

[DMHead777]

Updated the first post again. Just copied and pasted it from the site because it had an overload of updates.

[slimeisacharacter]

Nice. Page and a half of steelba and some random arguing. Felt like something was missing, so I decided to post and raise the "dumb posts in thread" count up a bit.

That said, have fun folks going to this. Better than a cooking show on SyFy!

[Nojro]

I regret not being able to visit it...

[quickslash72]

sounds amazing.
