"In order to appease the gods, the Druid priests held fire rituals. Prisoners of war, criminals, the insane, animals... were... burned alive in baskets. By observing the way they died, the Druids believed they could see omens of the future. Two thousand years later, we've come no further. Samhain isn't evil spirits. It isn't goblins, ghosts or witches. It's the unconscious mind. We're all afraid of the dark inside ourselves."

Interesting post, but at this point I would be shocked more if the mysterious contributor was Richard Fortus, then I would if it was Dizzy Reed.

He's Dizzy fucking Reed. Everybody knows Dizzy IS Guns N' Roses.

Halloween II is a really strong sequel, but I certaintly have a love/hate relationship with that angle. John Carpenter even admitted it was a mistake in his opinion. He didn't want to write the script, but did it anyways, and after a long night of writing, and a 6-pack of beer, and he was drunk & tired and said "hey, what if they are related?"

Carpenter didn't even want a Myers sequel. He wanted his anthology idea, which they finally gave into with Halloween III (which was the best way to go imo).

From there on out, every Myers sequel went this route, 'til it was just dumb as fuck. In H4 & H5 he's after his niece, in H6 he kills his niece, and is now after his nephew/son (welcome to Illinois, where it's all relative apparently), H2O he was back after his sister & a new nephew.

This was one thing that Zombie had the ability to remove, but didn't. Then again his depiction of Myers was weak anyways. He humanized him. No thanks, I liked him better when he was The Shape. "This isn't a man", just walking evil personified. "A force inside of him", Michael being a force of nature like a hurricane was just cool as hell imo. They attempted to expand on this with the H6: Producer's Cut which was admirable imo, but some people hated it.

About to watch: Halloween III: Season Of The Witch (my favorite of the sequels)

Definitely Sorry. It's the most different GN'R track you'll hear out of the 'new three'.

Scraped is a filler imo, or it's just something that'll have to grow on me.

This I Love is basically Axl in Freddie-mode, doing a ballad that's a cross between "Love Of My Life" and "Is This The World We Created?". Great song, but I think it can wait 'til Nov. 23rd.
