* Yes, angels, movies used to come on cassettes full of tape - magnetic tape that encoded the image in electromagnetism. No, I'm not making this up. #ghostbusters

The moment where the dunderhead Ichabod looks directly into the Headless Horseman's empty collar and is blasted with a round of wicked laughter hits funny and scary right on the dividing line. #ghostbusters

FOUND IT! Of course, the video is patched together, but the audio is the tune that haunted my childhood (and first got me interested in guitar).

And I promise that at your next dinner, you'll be sneering "Have a potato" like Ernest Thesiger. Just watch the movie, you'll see. #ghostbusters

Where upon refueling an idling helicopter, our hero searches for his gun to dispatch an approaching zombie. Said zombie steps up on a curb, lifting the top of his head within range of the rotating blades, cutting off the top of his head and saving our hero, who slowly looks upwards at the rotating blades.

Shaun of the dead being a RomCom with zombies is hardly a stretch #ghostbusters

C.H.U.D. 2: Bud the C.H.U.D! OK, I think that's all I've got for now.

And...having read your comment in its entirely ..... CHUD 2? Do you prefer this over the original Cannibal Humanoid Underground Dweller movie? I'm not hating but...seriously?

If I remember correctly, House1 and CHUD 1 were both "serious" horror movies (like gremlins 1 tried to be) while the sequels whole-heartedly embraced the ridiculousness of the situation, thus being the appropriate choice for a horror-comedy discussion. #ghostbusters

"Now what you got there is your basic interdimensional rift. Yeah, I got something in my bag for that..."
or something like that. That was an _inspired_ movie. #ghostbusters

It also featured brief appearances by a young Bruce Campbell, Marina Sirtis, Drew Barrymore, Patrick Macnee, David Carradine, and Godzilla (as himself) #ghostbusters

@bluehinter: Waxwork II sounds like a movie I need to run out and rent- I remember the first one but never saw the second. This is such a fun thread, making me very nostalgic for the junk I used to watch- I feel like calling up my old buddies and going to their house to mix OJ with black cherry soda and play NES and watch late night horror movies for a chance at seeing boobies :D
...And that just reminded me of another one- something about a robotic security guard at a mall that went crazy and killed people. I can't remember any more than that- it may not have been a robot. #ghostbusters

Army of Darkness is Evil Dead III. Why the redundancy?
