    I nearly pooped my pants when I saw you guys had reviewed this! This was my FAVORITE movie as a child, to the point where I would literally watch it, rewind the VHS, and watch it again over and over through the whole day. My babysitter was genuinely concerned. On another note, I was always most afraid of the mayor, who i was convinced for the longest time was actually the villain of the story.

    Sleepwalkers is a camp classic. Alice Krige acting at a 10 for the entire movie, her character is a literal cat person and in an incestual relationship with her son, AND killing some dude with a corn on the cob? Yes, I'll take all of that.

    Because I figured you'd like the trivia.... The spiral shape against the moon is called a "schnecke" and comes from medieval German heraldry. he term literally translates as “snail”, as its curve resembles that of the snail’s shell; in French blazon, it’s termed un gyron gironnant, “a spiraling gyron”. There's your medieval trivia for the day ;-)

(I annoyed him so much by watching all the Star Wars ones in a row.) The one-liners are making their way into our everyday lives! (#MrsClausHaremPants.)
    Also...I am addicted to your drag race reviews. They're almost more entertaining than the actual show! Keep the videos coming, and I will certainly watch them all!

It's called Zombie Prom and 2 teens fall in love and but the principal doesn't want her favorite student to fall in love with the bad boy, so he commits suicide. And comes back as a zombie and hell breaks loose. It's a great movie, and RuPaul plays the principal! You should definitely check it out!

    Thanks for picking this one for Retro Review! I guess it says a lot about my family that all the kids have been watching this repeatedly with glee, ( and not a speck of fear ) since they were toddlers, ( which was 2 years after it came out ). P.S. Danny Elfman = lead singer of Oingo Boingo as well. Speaking of which, if you want to see a weirdass, ( but strangely cool ) film, check out The Forbidden Zone from 1980, co - written by Danny Elfman and his brother.

    Love this movie - and love you both. However, I found it disappointing that you didn't mention that Danny Elfman was the lead singer of Oingo Boingo - who were INFAMOUS for doing Halloween shows in the early 80's in Southern California. (I know you weren't born yet - but...) One of their most popular songs was "It's a Dead Man's Party" Kind of full circle...

    My hot take for this movie (which I still think is a really good movie!) is that it is maybe my least favorite of Henry Selick's films? Only because I grew up watching James and the Giant Peach, and I think Coraline is masterpiece in stop-motion filmmaking. But it is much better than any animated movies Tim Burton directed himself.

    @robbieb.6948 4 роки тому

    the most important distinction in this movie is laid out in the opening song "That's our job, but we're not mean in our town of Halloween." It would have been so easy to make the citizens of Halloween all TERRIBLE people with Jack and Sally being the only two who feel different and then when they find the "true meaning of Christmas" everyone learns and becomes good. But they didn't do that and it makes me real happy because it is simply elucidating different people's ideas of joy and their own personal thought processes and, on a grander scale, a sort of idea of cultural diffusion and inclusion. This easily makes the top 3 disney movies for me because it wasn't afraid to go "there" in its storytelling, and it really walked that fine line of macabre and kid-friendly. Cinematic masterpiece.
