The Long Good Friday is a continuing weekly column that tries to thematically or tangentially link together three varying films that would make one hell of an evening at the home theater. Most of these flicks are readily available from Netflix, Blockbuster or Amazon, and some are even available on demand. This is our attempt at a gateway drug to irresponsible movie-watching
This is it. This is our favorite horror film ever made. John Carpenter could have never made any of his other classic films, and this movie alone would soundly cement him as a true master. Combining cold paranoia with an effects laden horror story, THE THING is a 20th Century masterpiece
There are virtually no other films that have the ability to still frighten an audience over 35 years after its release. Normally the effects wear off, or the film dates poorly societally or contextually. THE EXORCIST does neither of these things. It is just as effective now as it was in
I think it’s safe to say that Zack Snyder’s debut feature film deserves to be mentioned as one of the all time greats. Uh. Just kidding. While we have a lot of love for Snyder here, this is Romero’s movie and there’s no question as to why it belongs in the big boy crowd
Note: TRICK ‘R TREAT is currently available for on-demand viewing from the PlayStation Network for $5.99 (1080p HD)
The Haunting is almost inarguably the most beautiful horror movie ever made. Despite that, the horror part of that sentence is fully accurate. Despite a gorgeous presentation, the movie is designed to be one of the most unnerving visual experiences in cinema
Sam Raimi’s debut feature is an absolute game changer. Not since Romero’s Night of the Living Dead has there been a movie that so totally redefined what a genre was capable of. Not bad for a $300,000 movie shot in Nowhere, Tennessee

What if you found an elaborate invitation to a Halloween party? What if you decided to go? What if, once you got there, everyone tried to kill you? This is the premise of MURDER PARTY, the first feature by Jeremy Saulnier. And it’s an interesting one. It just so happens that every other part of the film is an exercise in how to fail at filmmaking
Mr. Frizzi is the composer of the score for Lucio Fulci’s supernatural/zombie apocalypse classic THE BEYOND. Nowadays, he is assisting the rise of the Grindcore genre of music by allowing his THE BEYOND score titles to be optioned as band names
