Halloween 6 (RTE2 23:15) vs The Exorcist (TV3 22:00)

JonathanAnon

Which one am I gonna watch... I LOVE the Halloween movies, but The Exorcist got 10/10 on one of the websites, and is meant to be a complete classic.. At this stage they are about the only two popular horror movies I've never seen...

So hit me with it people, Michael Myers chopping up people, or the head spinning woman... ?

The Exorcist.. without question!

My mammy told me years ago not to watch exorcist as everyone involved with it died. She's ruined it for me even though its not true cause I can't watch it now.

Any Simpsons specials on tonight?

sean corcoran

head spinner, well worth watching the exorcist if you have never seen it

Skid

The Exorcist, no contest.

If you want a good comedy then go for The Exorcist.

Who brought Halloween 5 into this thread.. :mad:

I think I'm gonna watch The Exorcist until 23:15, and if I'm not enjoying I'll switch over.

Well he's dead now.. unless you're a necrophiliac for the night that's in it..
Disappointed in this movie... spose it's all the building up... serious chance of me switching over to Michael Myers at 23:15

take everything

The Exorcist at the moment.
The Spider walk down the stairs- so disturbing :eek:

I'm flicking in and out of it - too much of a scary cat to watch the full thing.

Oh yes, that would be standard tv3: 5 mins tv, 5 mins ad X 3 = 30 mins

It's amazing to think he recovered sufficiently to play Austin Powers many years later...

Okay too intense and freaky, time for me to turn off I think.

Night all!

JonathanAnon

bak bak bak .. ;-)
gute nacht

so should I stay or should I go... ... just starting to get good.. But I do want to see Michael Meyers skewering at least one person tonight... :-(

AOwannabe

If you want a real fright then switch over to RTE One, "The week in politics" is starting now.

Brian Lenihan - "15 billion euro of cuts over 4 years"

Too scary so I'm switching back to The Exorcist

ballsymchugh

see. the doctors asked if the mother was religious and she said no, but the daughter still got possessed. imagine if gurramock ended up that way after his thread in AH about being asked that in the Mater!!

The Exorcist is terrible tbh.

seems like it's been sponsored by those sexy girls that are waiting for me to text them too. sorry ladies, no credit... ahem..

Bah! Whoever times the ads on TV3 needs a punch, right in the middle of an intense scene they cut to ads....really wrecking the momentum of the film imo....

First time seeing Exorcist also, decent, but not as terrifying as I've read in reviews etc. Some bits kinda funny imo.

Panthro

just tuned into Halloween 6, has any of them ever come close to the first one? Watched "the omen" last night, the newer one...what a loada sheeeeet. A good horror is few and far between on telly!

Yeah the cutting for ads is awful... also, knowing that the movie is a "classic" always makes you expect more from it than it could ever deliver.. I'm on Halloween 6 for the moment.. Poltergeist on later as well..

JonathanAnon

Fcuk sake... if a priest had you alone in your bedroom, tied to the bed... and the worst he did was throw holy water over you.. I think you would consider yourself lucky..

Panthro

hah! /\/\ ya bollocks!:)

ballsymchugh

and so it begins!!!

take everything

Altogether now...

Panthro

aww the oul wipe the mirror and there he is looking back at you scene.

classic halloween.

JonathanAnon

I've seen lads surviving Mount Everest, but never wiping a mirror in a Halloween movie...

Exactly. I really do not know how this film has its reputation. It is a load of rubbish really.
