2021 Halloween Marathon: Week 8 Reviews

We’ve finally reached Halloween weekend! In addition to working on launching Season Three of our podcast, we’ll be watching movies all weekend. If you’re just checking in for the Christmas content and are interested in the horror movies we’ve been watching every weekend, be sure to check out the full schedule here.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987) – 8/10 – Aside from the original, this is the only Elm Street film I ever really choose to watch. I love the idea of the dream warriors, the kills are great, and the music is super fun.

Friday the 13th Part III (1982) – 10/10 – Another perfect slasher. No offense to the previously mentioned Elm Street movie, the third Halloween that I’ve talked about growing to love, or even Return of the Jedi or the final Back to the Future, but this is my favorite Part III.

Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986) – 10/10 – While Part IV was such a great way to wrap up the original Jason trilogy, Part V was a goofy mess. But Tom McLoughlin nailed this one, bringing Jason back where he belongs. It’s one of the funniest scripts in the series, and it even puts kids at the camp for the first time.
