Oof, missed a few days.

Saw, Carrie, and Last House on the Left are horror movies where the "monsters" are human. Though Carrie does have her psychic powers, she's still considerably human.
Oh yeah, Carrie can't really be considered the real monster of the movie. Her mother is so much worse.

Halloween TV Specials

Talks about different stuff like Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown & halloween episodes of sitcoms.

 

[BatDan]

I love Halloween episodes. Treehouse of Horror remains top-tier.

 

[industrian]

That video reminded me of when I made Halloween-themed sales events for a webstore I worked for.

Halloween is a very "cheap" but effective way of filling a creativity hole. It's also one of the reasons why Q4 is the easiest godamn part of the year to make an events calendar for. Halloween > Black Friday > Christmas > New Year. Your shit is on auto-pilot for like three months.

James and Torey Haas (who did the graphics/lighting/colorization), recreated the TNT MonsterVision Intro in 1080P HD.

As someone who watched Godzilla all the time on TNT this is extremely nostalgic.

It Follows (2015)

Another unscripted review.

This is why I dislike unscripted reviews. It would be one thing if they used them on stupid low budget films, but not quality films that I want to see properly edited and commented in the usual format. It seems like James is doing the opposite.

There with you. I hate these unscripted "reviews". They are too long, not very informative and doesn't help shed light on the movie if they hardly use (if any) clips from said movie.

His scripted ones convey more in 3 minutes that his 15 minute long ramblings with Mike that often go nowhere.

Night of the Lepus (1972)

Haha, this movie. Just baffling in how it exists.

City of the Dead (1960)

Almost at the end of the month & still no word on a tie-in AVGN episode, i.e. Alien 3 & Beetlejuice?

 

[Zonic]

The Descent (2005)

Possibly the last unscripted review.

 

[industrian]

Natalie Mendoza is hot.

I agree with most of what they said. Also the sequel to The Descent was alright. I hated the "hook" ending though.

City of the Dead (1960)

I've been wondering about that as well...

Dammit, now I'm upset with the unscripted stuff.

 

[Kinsei]

Ugh, why did all of the unscripted stuff have to be of movies I really wanted to see a regular Monster Madness on?

Final video: Celebrating Halloween.

I quite enjoyed the deep cuts this year. James covered a lot of amazing films that he missed before. The discussion format was hit and miss though, especially when they talked about really popular films that I'm sure many wanted to be given the Monster Madness treatment. Basically if they do it again I'd like more Frozen, less The Descent.

Edit: YouTube

I remember reading a magazine when this game was reviewed.

It was considered the worst PlayStation game for a long time.

They sound like tired old men at the end of that last video.

Don't really see why. Some great videos in here.

It's just not the same without a coherent theme imo.

Ah I see. I'm more a fan of these random "history of horror" type ones. This is how it began after all so I like it.

 

[Sectorseven]

I realize making videos is a pain in the ass, but after nine years you'd think he'd have the process down to a science. Isn't Cinemeassacre his full time job? His videos get thousands, if not millions of hits. Are his margins so narrow that he can't dole out tasks like editing to multiple people?

 

[matt360]

Is Mike the guy on the left, sitting closer to the camera? If so, then yeah, I can easily see why he grates on people. He seems very amateurish in his commentary, and tends to interrupt a lot. Can't stand people like that in these types of videos/podcasts.

 

[inm8num2]

The unscripted format was hit or miss and could have used some editing anyway. Unscripted in itself isn't a bad thing, but both guys kind of struggled to express themselves succinctly at times.

Another great month of Monster Madness, though. Looking forward to next year!

 

[IdreamofHIME]

The Descent (2005)

Possibly the last unscripted review.

Fuck, Mike is such a doofus. He want to call out the ending....then just makes up an ending that never happened.
James knows he's wrong, but doesn't straight up call him out on it.
He does this all the time in their videogame bids, he stays silent why Mike just goes off about something he doesn't understand, has got the wrong end of the stick about or is just plain BS'ing.
Jeezuz.

 

[Nekofrog]

Yep, this year's Monster Madness was almost total garbage.

Thanks Mike. You ruined one of my favorite things of the year.

 

[grim-tales]

Hey,
Apologies as this probably doesnt belong here (I can't find an AVGN thread), the new Nerd episode just came out (Episode 139):

http://cinemassacre.com/2016/04/06/mega-man-games-angry-video-game-nerd/

Great episode IMO, very well done.

Yep, he is one of the reasons why I stopped watching James.

Also, Godzilla-thon was the best.

Those invisible man special effects are amazing for the 50's.

The 30's ones were amazing for their time as well though I've only seen The Invisible Man (1933), a very good movie.

I'll be away from a computer for a few hours so anyone feel free to.

Real excited for this years.
