The suspense was if they'll ever fix it. Then they gave us this shot of him IN FRONT OF the barbershop. They knew. That's the real cruelty. The real horror.

(How many years did we have a new “Saw” and/or “Paranormal Activity” sequel to look forward to?) But there are still a fair amount of legacy horror sequels – follow-ups that take much longer to marinate than the traditional sequel – and these are the ones that were definitely worth the wait... - “Psycho II” (1983) - “Phantasm II” (1988) -…

neutral · AI labelView post →Interesting horror movie trivia fact: Josh Hartnett gave himself the infamously bad Halloween H20 haircut, and would even wear a beanie hat in-between takes to make it look worse, due to him not wanting his character, John Tate, to be perceived as "just another heartthrob". 🎃🔪
