Okay my friends, I think that's all I'm gonna get in for a while. Keep watching, keep recommending and I'll catch you all on the flip side.
Stay frosty.

When I was kid, my mother took me to a double-feature of The Hand along with Friday the 13th Part 2 (mom loved horror movies and used to take me to some really inappropriate ones. God bless her; I do the same with my kids). I didn't really understand it then and I haven't seen it since. I do, however, remember vividly the scene11. The Hand
"Jon Lansdale is a comic book artist who loses his right hand in a car accident. The hand was not found at the scene of the accident, but it soon returns by itself to follow Jon around, and murder those who anger him."
Okay, I love The Hand. Directed by Oliver Stone, this is another one people love to hate, but I think it's a pretty good flick because of Michael Caine. Watch this film. Watch his performance. He gives it 150%! He's such a great actor.
I think I read somewhere that he is embarrassed by The Hand, but at the time he agreed to do it, he needed a new garage built onto his house, and he took the job because he needed the money to do that.
And there are a lot of familiar faces for many of us, character actors as the names themselves might not remind you of who they are.
Andrea Marcovicci (a huge presence in 1980s TV shows) , Bruce McGill (another face from TV shows like NCIS, Blue Bloods), Viveca Lindfors (We know her from Creepshow), Rosemary Murphy (another TV and movie character actor), Charles Fleischer (he does a lot of animated voices, but you will recognize his face, at least his younger face. For horror fans, he was in TAles from the Crypt--Demon Knight, he was in one of the Tales from the Crypt TV series episodes and Dick Tracy and many sitcoms back in the day).

That scene is really so...realistic! I can understand why it was disturbing for you. It should be for everyone! I own this movie, so I periodically break it out to watch -- seriously, Michael Caine sells this thing. He is so good.When I was kid, my mother took me to a double-feature of The Hand along with Friday the 13th Part 2 (mom loved horror movies and used to take me to some really inappropriate ones.

I do, however, remember vividly the scenein the car where Michael Caine actually loses his hand. It disturbed the hell of me back then.
Michael Caine is awesome, and even better are the Michael Caine impersonations from the film The Trip. Just kills me...

I love Michael Caine and I've watched a lot of documentaries and youtube interviews with him over the years -- he is just a brilliant actor. I don't care what role he is playing, I totally believe he is that guy!You are the first person that I know of that actually owns The Hand. That's impressive!
Dressed to Kill with Michael Caine is another great performance. Some of the side performances are horrible, but he is always a skill to watch.
Yes! Loved the original Sleuth too and hated the remake.That's a terrific film too. I was just having a discussion about Brian DePalma. He's made some really good movies and some really awful ones. But he's never boring. Dressed to Kill definitely is one of the former. One of my favorite Michael Caine roles is the original Sleuth with Laurence Olivier (I hated the remake). I've got to track that one down as it's been years since I've seen it.
You can watch whatever you want and label it whatever you want. We all see these movies through different experiences, I encouraged Flakenoir (who doesn't like scary movies) to watch comedy romances because I personally find them horrifying!I'm not sure if you would call these movies Horror Movies...however...I like to watch them during this time of year with a nice bottle of wine. The Death Wish series I believe is considered action, but with so much over the top killing and gore...I say its more slasher horror.
It comes with all the early and late 80's accessories.....Nudity for no reason, excessive violence and gore, horrible stereotypes and horrible dialog! Watch it drunk with some friends!

8.) American Horror Story: Roanoke (episodes 1 & 2 - approx. 40-45 min. each)
I gave up on Freak Show about halfway through the season and only watched one episode of Hotel. I'm liking this so far. It's a bit reminiscent of seasons one and three. Was very happy to see Cuba Gooding Jr. starring in this season. (As well as the usual cast of characters, minus Jessica Lange. )
