Oh wow Kenjii you never saw Halloween, the original or the remake? I love the original it still scares me a little. I think Rob Zombie did a great job with the re-make. I liked knowing more about young Michael and his family

HellraiserClive Barker's very scary movie. It gave new meaning to the term "pinhead".
RobocopAn action flick where a cop was turned into a cyborg.

Enough, Hellraiser, Robocop great picks guys. Looked those movies. Jael: I have not seen either Halloween (original or remake). My Dad loved action and horror and so I saw a lot of slasher films. The movie came out in 1978 so that was before I was born. My Dad would take me to the movies, but I don't actually remember getting videos until like the 90's. So that is one I missed.
