Maybe I just have a really small head, but these were not "cute and stylish nerd" they were more "overly ridiculous Halloween costume nerd"

Want a fun, scary 3D movie about ghosts, goblins, witches, skeletons, and things that go bump in the night? If so, then HAUNTED CASTLE 3D is definitely NOT the film for you. I just took a chance on it yesterday at the IMAX theater in San Antonio hoping it would be a nice ghostly treat that would help to get me into the spirit of Halloween.  Wrong!  It was horrible beyond mention, most especially the bad script. As the viewer is 'driving' along in the same car as the narrator, he sees through the narrator's eyes. The narrator being a boy-band-looking rock star who states how, after his band has gotten rave album reviews, he's called to his late mother's estate, a creepy-looking castle on the wind-swept coast of England.  He's bitter with his Mom, as she abandoned him when he was only 3 to pursue her own career as a rock star.  Entering the castle, he calls out, "Hello! Is anyone home?" He asks this, even though he clearly sees candles lit throughout the place. Duh!  All of a sudden, about 6 suits of armour begin to threaten him menacingly with their spears. "What's going on here?" the boy asks. (Powerful line, that.)  Suddenly, out of nowhere, an un-scary-looking  mechanical looking demon appears  and addresses the budding rock star, Johnny.  But before he does, he turns the suits of armor into tapioca, or something. Then he tells 'Johnny' that "Mr. D." wants to see him. They get into a mine car and go down, down, down into a tunnel, looking at other musicians in cages along the way who, over the years  have sold their soul to the Devil as their price of fame.  He arrives at the bottom, a watery-looking tomb where Mr. D. addresses him and offers him fame for a price. Satan reminds the boy that his rock-star mom had made a pact that included her not seeing her own son as the price of her fame. Suddenly, a hologram of a woman appears and begins to sing. I mean the hologram image is poised over a hologram projector, for gosh sakes. (Remember, this is a CGI-Animated film.) "Mom, is that you," the boy asks. The Mom never answers, but instead breaks into a lame  and unscary pop song.  Satan then offers Johnny his shot at fame again, but Johnny declines. The demon then says, "They all do that at first, but we get them all in the end. Would you like to see where we store them? Mr. D. has it all worked out cleverly."  They then go into yet another tunnel, emerging  at last in a Las Vegas-looking Hell, where all the rock stars have rooms.

I walked out at that point. I couldn't take it any more. Who the hell wrote this and for what age group?! Certainly not for adults, or children. But for teens who love their CGI-laced computer games, it must really be the ticket.

The straw that really broke the camel's back for me, in fact,  is that this very expensively made IMAX 3D movie looked to be nothing more than an advertisement for a new video game, or amusement park ride. And the beauty of it all is they actually have people paying to see it!

I was so disappointed. I 'd gone in expecting ghosts, goblins, witches and skeltons and ended up with Rock and Rollers in Hell. What a misleading title that was, HAUNTED CASTLE. It would've been more on the mark to have called it SATANIC CASTLE, or CASTLE OF THE DAMNED.

In all fairness, the IMAX supervisor apologized and offered me another movie in its place, but I didn't have the time, so had to decline. My advice? Stay far, far, away from this bomb if you value your common sense.

The best news: I wore the costume on Halloween to be funny. Then the next day I took it off, and I was just me again. Isnt it awesome that I didn't have to deal with the racism or oppression some people actually experience on a daily basis? Best Halloween ever!

I guess the big tip-off could be that he went as the web-slinger at Halloween this year. I think the comic book format was fun for him. I'm trying to instill the joys of reading to children. I love to read.

Paranormal Activity is a decent candidate for a Halloween night marathon, no doubt.  I enjoyed the slow, creepy build up of suspense overall but was really put off by the all too real moron male character in the film.  I've known a few of those kinds of turds: a 20-something body with a preteen brain and invincible mentality without an ounce of common sense.  Sure dummy, openly challenge something you neither see nor understand, and keeps messing with you in your sleep.  The flaming ouija board was over the top. The demonolist who was called later in the film but never arrived was a bit of a plot let-down (I think the writer/director forgot this detail, which is why he never showed.  No other explanation was offered.)  Then there's the implied 24-7 filming of everything that occurred in the house, but the video timestamp was present only half the time.  To top it all off he closing scene was...well...dumb.  Whatever.  Still a decent film in all rights, though certainly NOT a high paced exciting one.  Very few flaws, but enough to knock it down by two stars in my book.  Plenty of creep factor though.  I'd watch it again, but I doubt I'd go out of my way to do so.  Probably won't buy the DVD but I'm undecided.  It was a great idea that should have been executed a little better.

What ever u do Avoid this sequel
It's bye far The worst entry in Any Mainstream Series  EVER

The writing is off the wall.  Maybe u have to be in a Drug Induced state  to follow it and understand what is going on
There are allot of WTF Moments
The Gore/Violence is beyond Unnecessary  (Thanks SAW)
Since when do u see the "Bad Guy"  kill any animals let alone man's best friend
There is no redeeming quality in any of the charters but,  Brad Dourif,  and Danielle Harris
Turning Dr. Loomis into a Monster in the same League of Michael Myers  are u for real?!?!
And That Shocking Ending is Not Shocking
Laurie Strode taking over the Mantal of the killer WOW
That idea seems so Familiar ooohhhh yes Paramount did that with Friday the 13th 20yrs ago

I really like Rob Zombie's 1st two Films (Which he Created and can do anything with "His"  Characters)

His Vision/Re-make of Halloween was good for what it was
He did allot of Good things  Between the Cast, A New Point of View on a Young Michael Myers

The Halloween Re-Make is Bye far the Best re-make of all The "NEW" Horror Films  (FT13, TX Chainsaw Massacre, Next will be the taking of  Nightmare on Elm Street)
Halloween II  Completely does two things
1. Takes away any credibility Rob Zombie may have had as a Hip New Horror Film Director
Take his writer/director's Hat away from his and burn it
2. Put the Nail in the Coffin for the Halloween Series
Halloween 666 Looks like Citizen Kane next to this piece of Garbage
Avoid at all Cost  .5/10

Honestly, this is the first book that was so bad, I couldn't finish it.  I thought the concept was clever, but the stories told by the author (using an irritating second person "you" throughout the book)are boring and not funny.  The author tells us this book is hilarious, but he is sadly mistaken.  The stories are uninteresting, haphazard, and don't really capture the true essence of suburbia.  The author brags about all the money he has and lives in a world that is not reflective of the majority of the suburbs.  For example, he talks about how Halloween has changed since he was a kid.  He says now Halloween parties, catered and served by butlers in tuxes, have replaced kids trick-or-treating in the neighborhood.  What?  I think in 99% of the suburbs, kids still dress up and trick-or-treat door-to-door.  Most of his stories reflect this thinking in his irritating, ego boosting, bragging banter.  I never take the time to write reviews, but this book was so bad I felt I needed to warn people.  Try buying a book by Dave Barry.  He is really a funny author who won't tell you how funny he is!

NOT FOR REAL PEOPLE!!! I looked hideous I could not stop laughing, I looked like a sorry looking horse with over sized teeth! Not even Halloween, I would not buy these for, truthfully speaking! Theses are as fake as fake can be, they slide out. I bought an upper and lower, what a waste of money, but  if you have no insurance, I am sorry, maybe try out the beads that melt, and you form into a so called tooth like shape, except these harden really fast, which do not give you enough time to form a tooth, lol. I ,want my MONEY BACK!!!! ,

Other reviewers are right when they say this movie isn't for everyone.  Personally I wish the guy would stop here before he ruins all the 7 classic halloween movies (counting Halloween H20.)  The movie was disgusting with its burn victim operations a miserable replacement for the dead actor that played the original Dr. Lomus.  It missing on the lighter notes like the couple in the hospital hot tub that brought some humor to the original Halloween 2.  I never like the idea of knowing the face behind Micheal's mask.  Just as his first Halloween movie felt like a combo of one and 2 the Halloween raves in this movie has a Curse of Micheal Myers feel to it as well as other elements of the film remind one of Return of Micheal Myers and Revenge of Micheal Myers. Also part of what made Myers character so great in original films is not knowing the man behind the mask never even seeing the pupils in the mask eye sockets. Rob Zombie with his childhood background scenes takes away what made the character mysterious and interesting as a horror movie killer.

Halloween was awesome in this outfit. I wore green leggings. I got a different cap. The comes off and it is lame and cheesy. I had to buy a separate cape which it looked better anyways.

I rarely write reviews, but after I received this Halloween book, if you would even like to put it in that catagory, I felt I needed to save anyone from buying it!

An avid celebrater of Halloween, I thought that I had to have this boook for my collection--the title itself was SO catchy. After looking at it, the book was returned.

Words cannot even describe the dissappointment I felt after glancing through it.  Boring, old, uninviting, crafty suggestions.  If you are looking for a good Halloween book for the not too crafty or the not too gory, games, treats, decorations, try 101 Halloween Ideas.

Sorry but this book was too neurotic for me.  I obviously have a different sense of humor than the author.

Wow! I bought this costume last year and LOVED IT! Not only was it completely inappropriate and offensive -- it fit really well too! J/K. We want this costume taken down!
I thought wearing this costume would boil an entire culture down to a racist stereotype. And I was right: Turns out, I was representing the culture in a super inaccurate and unflattering way! We want this costume taken down!
The best news: I wore the costume on Halloween to be funny. Then the next day I took it off, and I was just me again. Isnt it awesome that I didn't have to deal with the racism or oppression some people actually experience on a daily basis? Best Halloween ever! LOL BUT SERIOUSLY take it down

Horribly scary for my 7 year old.  I find this book completely inappropriate for an elementary-aged child.  I believe this is the first review I have ever written, and I write it because I felt the obligation to warn people not to waste their money.  I was so shocked that this book currently receives an average of 4 1/2 stars.  Even if you don't mind the scary words and illustrations,  the story had no coherent plot.  It has a cute cover that pulled me in, but boy was I mistaken.  Here are a few words from this book:  horrible sound, dozens of ogres, monkey battalion,  screeches and roars, stampeding, pursued by enraged dinosaurs, poltergeist army, smoky wolves that watch me while I sleep (referring to clouds), prowl, spooky sort of shadow, dancing weirdly, creepy, eerie, mouth is full of needles, destroy me, I'm afraid I may be eaten head and all,
The list goes on and on, but I think my point has been demonstrated.

I was really disappointed when I first got this costume, it is pretty cheaply made - however, it was too late to get something new, so I ironed everything and it looked better. The base layer fits almost snug. The plastic neck rope is fine, but the hat is so deformed that I couldn't really wear itt. I wore this costume on Halloween and got lots of complements. However, when I ran to Target to pick up a last minute item for my Halloween party - on Halloween, an ignorant older woman looked at me and told me I was going to hell. LOL! OOkayyyyy.

Draculaura has always been "The Vampire-Girl Next Door", she's sweet and incredibly cute (she's my favourite MH student). For the past few years however, Mattel has been messing with her look. More recent dolls just don't look like the Draculaura of yester-year. With that being said, they at least retain "something" so that you know it's still Draculaura. With this "Collector Doll" however, she looks absolutely nothing like she should. The pictures show a "pre-production" doll with no heart on her cheek. Why would they shoot all those nice professional pictures of a pre-production model Draculaura? Wouldn't they have at least painted a heart on her cheek to try and pass her off as Draculaura?  What I think happened was this was supposed to be somebody other than Draculaura. It's no secret that MH's glory days are past. This was probably supposed to be a new character, but with dismal sales of the past two years, they didn't want to market someone "unfamiliar" so they took a student from their hey-day, slapped a heart on her and called her "Collector's Edition Draculaura". This is actually a very creepy looking doll in person. Only buy if you are a die hard MH fan. If you are a fan of Draculaura herself, think twice before forking over $50.
