    Hellraiser_Film_General
    "We have an eternity to know your flesh." God Bless the Cenobites. Or not. Either way, each movie was greater than the last. I want one of those boxes for Christmas. I'm gonna open it and send the 'bites to my boss, a few co-workers, the IRS and, for now, M. Night Shyamalan.

    Spawn_Musical Album_Film_General
    The first time I saw this movie, I almost threw up. The second time I watched this film, I did actually throw up. Between the burnt flesh and a clown with track marks on his drawers, I couldn't help but lose my cookies. Anyway, it's rockin' some badass special affects and is the only reason I'd ever want to go to hell. I wanna cape like THAT.

    "Mirabile dictu, don't you agree?" Yes, I do. There is a reason why I haven't eaten split pea soup since I watched this movie. Otherwise, just like every other sequel, the follow-ups to this brilliant masterpiece sucked worse than a leech with a head-cold.

    The Prophecy_Film_General
    "Do you know how you got that indent, just above your upper lip? I told you a secret and said..SHHHH.." Christopher "Cowbell" Walken reigns supreme in this movie that centers around the angel Gabriel and his search for the soul of the most evil man on the planet. I could have spared him the trouble and given him the phone numbers to my ex's.

    "Ed Harley: God damn you! God damn you!" "Haggis: He already has, son. He already has." I've never actually seen this movie, but my co-worker threatened me with eternal SPAM if I didn't include it. It's pretty obvious that Stan Winston created this marvelous dome-topped, thermo-nuclear lizard. You could almost call it the second cousin of the Alien Queen. Maybe he's her illegitimate spawn.

    Prince of Darkness_Film_General
    "Hello? I'm opening the door, if you want to stop what you're doing and put your clothes on!" I thought this movie was about the Devil. We never actually see him. Wait. We do see his unmanicured hand and scaly wrist. I had the same reaction to this movie as I did when I watched Contact: disappointed and confused. But still, it's a cool example of what too much studying can do to you.

    Kevin Lomax: What are you? John Milton: Oh, I have so many names... Kevin Lomax: Satan. John Milton: Call me Dad. Kevin Lomax: In the Bible you lose. We're destined to lose, Dad. John Milton: Well consider the source, son. A movie with oral sex, nudity, suicide, murder and demons. Yes, papa.

    Oh, God! You Devil_Film_General
    The Devil: I love to scare the hell out of people. This gem was released in 1984 and stars George Burns in both roles of God and Satan. Stuffed full of cigars, wisecracks and one-liners, this movie chronicles one man's contract with the devil. Check it out - it's actually really funny.
