Plot:
Proving there's no rest for the wicked, the unspeakably evil Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) is again resurrected from the grave to wreak havoc upon those who dare to dream. But this time, he faces a powerful new adversary!
As her friends succumb one by one to Freddy's wrath, telepathically gifted Kristen embarks on a desparate mission to destroy the satanic dream stalker and release the tortured souls of his victims once and for all.
Directed by Renny Harlin (The Long Kiss Goodnight, Cliffhanger) and loaded with killer effects and drop-dead humor, this is a "superior horror picture that balances wit and gore with imagination and intelligence" (Los Angeles Times).

- Featurettes
My Thoughts:
While I still enjjoyed this one... it wasn't quite as good as the first or third one... but definitely better then the second. Like the rest in the series... it is well worth the time put in to watch it. I was sorry to see them replace the actress playing Kristen... thought that Patricia Arquette was better in the role. But that is just a minor complaint. My Rating:

Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie, a review by Danae Cassandra
Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie
Year of Release: 2005
Directed By: Elliot M. Bour & Saul Andrew Blinkoff
Starring: Jimmy Bennett, Peter Cullen, Jim Cummings, John Fiedler, Ken Sansom, Kyle Stanger
Genre: Comedy, Animation
Overview:
It's a hilariously haunting Halloween in the 100 Acre Wood. Roo's best new pal, Lumpy, is excited to trick-or-treat for the first time...until Tigger warns them about the dreaded Gobloon, who'll turn you into a Jaggedy Lantern if he catches you. But if they catch the Gobloon before it catches them, they get to make a wish!
With Roo by his side, Lumpy knows he can face anything. So when Pooh eats all the Halloween candy, Lumpy and Roo decide to be "brave together, brave forever" and catch the Gobloon so they can wish for more. When the two friends become separated, however, Roo decides to wish for something even more important.
Filled with adventure, unconditional friendship and lots of laughter, Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie is a sweet treat for the whole family.
My Thoughts:
So, this is perhaps the farthest thing from a horror movie that I've reviewed for any Halloween marathon, but my mom remembered we have this in our collection and we haven't watched it since 2009.
This is a cute Halloween cartoon. It's perfect for little kids, it's perfect for people who like Halloween but are too easily scared by horror movies. It's kinda like an anthology movie, because there is a story-within-a-story in the film, but it's easy to keep up with, and sweet. The animation is not up to par with Disney's A-list features, rather keeping up with the best of the sequel level films, but it's an appealing watch if you like this sort of film, or have little kids. Be warned, though, it's not cool enough for tweens & teens.
Bechdel Test: Fail
Overall: 2.75/5

Dead Like Me: The Complete First Season, a review by addicted2dvd
 | Dead Like Me: The Complete First Season You're about to be collected. "Winningly eccentric" (LA Daily News) and "insistently irreverent" (People), this groundbreaking, original series delivers you into a realm of shockingly funny characters and twisted narratives you'll find completely "addictive" (NY Daily News)! When an errant toilet seat from the falling Mir Space Station puts an abrupt end to her life, George (Ellen Muth) discovers that death is nothing like she thought it would be. Recruited to collect the souls of others as they die, she suddenly finds herself an unwilling participant in a line of work she never knew existed: Grim Reaping! Episodes: 01. Pilot 02. Dead Girl Walking 03. Curious George 04. Reapercussions 05. Reaping Havoc 06. My Room 07. Reaper Madness 08. A Cook 09. Sunday Mornings 10. Business Unfinished 11. The Bicycle Thief 12. Nighthawks 13. Vacation 14. Rest In Peace |
Stars:
Ellen Muth as George Lass
Laura Harris as Daisy Adair

My Thoughts:
I just finished watching the entire first season of this show with Brittany. I have seen this show a few times before... though not in several years. But it is the first time Britt has seen it. We both enjoyed it quite a bit. It is a lot of fun. A lot of entertaining dark humor. We have fun guessing on how some of the deaths would occur. As I type this we have already started the second season. Brittany really likes the gravelings.... she said they are like cute little puppy-dogs of death. If by chance this is a show you never seen before both Britt and I would recommend this one.
