Plot:
After moving to an idyllic home in the countryside, life seems perfect for the Creed family... but not for long. Louis and Rachel Creed and their two young children settle in to a house that sits next door to a pet cemetery - built on ancient Indian burial ground. Their mysterious new neighbor, Jud Crandall (FRED GWYNNE), hides the cemetery's darkest secret... until a family tragedy brings the secret to life. Now, an unthinkable evil is about to be resurrected.

From STEPHEN KING, the Master of the Macabre, comes a journey that leads to hell and back. Though not everyone survives the trip. For the Creeds, home is where the horror is.

My Thoughts:
This is one of my all time favorite horror movies. As with most of the Stephen King movies... Stephen King himself has a cameo in the movie. This time as the preacher at the funeral for Mrs. Dandridge... the woman that helped the creed family in the beginning of the movie. This movie is one of the few movies that can make me cringe when watching it. actually from 2 things in the movie. First when Jud gets the back of his ankle sliced... the next when he is sliced across both cheeks when he is screaming. Both those look extremely painful to me. I couldn't even imagine. Not to mention.. this is a true horror movie for any parent. It even effected me... I had a time watching this movie when my daughter was about Gage's age... especially considering I live on a road that has a high school just down the street... you would not believe the way kids race up and down this road! There for the longest time I wouldn't even let my daughter play in the front yard at all! Anyway... This is just an awesome horror movie! So I definitely highly recommend it if by chance you never seen it before.

My Thoughts:
Another one from the '80s that I enjoyed. It is a good... and fun (in a silly way) continuance. I had to laugh at the faceless alien that shaped shift into the woman he saw in the playboy centerfold. She even had a big staple in her belly. Of course... just like the first one... this is the type of movie that is no more then mindless fun. Just something to escape from reality in for an hour and a half. I enjoyed this one almost as much as the first.

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

20. Individual Responsibility (4/16/95)
Intergang kidnaps Perry White and is about to purchase the Daily Planet. But all Superman can manage is a bored ho-hum - newly discovered red kryptonite has sapped the Man of Steel's steely resolve.

My Thoughts:
This is a good episode... definitely enjoyed it. And finally got to see another type of Kryptonite! I also liked that they had Bruce Campbell in this one guest starring as the new head of Intergang.


21. Whine, Whine, Whine (5/14/95)
Being a superhero seems like a poor career choice when Superman is sued by a man he saved. Lois is drawn to Agent Scardino because Clark keeps disappearing on their dates.

My Thoughts:
Another good episode. And I believe the last episode that has Scardino in it. In this episode Lois makes her decision. And we also get to see Bruce Campbell once again.


22. And the Answer Is... (5/21/95)
A criminal kidnaps Jonathan and Martha and Lois risks her life to save them. In the aftermath of the ordeal, Clark realizes how much he loves Lois and finally asks "Will you marry me?"

My Thoughts:
This is a very good season ender. And it has a heck of a cliff hanger. In this episode Clark finds out just how important it is for him to have his secret identity. But it also shows him just how important Lois is to him as well.
