First Appearance: Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge
Hey remember how Andre Toulon was a maniac who designed puppets to murder people and had a serum made of human brains that brought them to life? Remember how he killed himself in that hotel in Bodega Bay, California in 1939 to prevent Nazis from getting his secrets? Well it turns out that was all a big misunderstanding. What happened was in 1941 Berlin nazis killed Toulon's wife while trying to force him to give up the secrets to how he animated his puppets so they could use it to reanimate their dead in order to have an unkillable army. Toulon uses his puppets to get revenge!

First appearance: Downrange (2017)

Weird variation on a slasher flick. I really liked the ending.

A horror flick in the vein of EYES OF FIRE and MESSIAH OF EVIL.
First appearance: Dr. Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam (1986) [Yeah, I know Ernest was doing commercials and stuff before this movie but this is his first movie appearance]
Beloved comercial personality Ernest P. Worrell makes a couple brief appearances in the Jim Varney movie Dr. Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam, which is an odd 80s comedy where Varney plays a variety of characters (all disguises of Dr. Otto). Eventually Ernest gets a chance to star in his own movie Ernest Goes to Camp. If you’re going to watch an Ernest movie I’d suggest any of the Touchstone flicks and/or Ernest Rides Again.
Since everyone likes "Goes to Camp" here's the trailer for that:
For some reason parents have an uncontrollable urge to kill their offspring. Not ALL kids, just their own. Could it be some kind of attack on the country or the entire species! It doesn't matter, your parents will kill you.

A bunch of kids run afoul of a giant spider from outer space (possibly from another dimension) who wakes up every 27 years to feed. The space monster takes on the forms of things it's victims are scared of. This doesn't stop the kids from defeating the spider monster.
Unfortunately for the kids they didn't kill the space monster so IT comes back 27 years later to annoy the now adults to death.
90s TV Miniseries Based on a Stephen King novel and for some reason very popular even though the monster is more irritating than frightening.
Some kind of weird monster is pissing on priests and killing folks in Ireland. what could it be? it's Rawhead Rex! Based on a story by Clive Barker, who was not happy with how it turned out, nor was he happy with what the monster looked like. People seem to like it though, it's getting a 4K restoration and is being released on BluRay soon.
First appearance: Friday the 13th (2009)
Hey remember those other 10 movies that Jason was running around killing kids? Yeah, well, None of that happened because we've decided to reboot the series. This one almost plays like a sequel to the original 1980 movie. Not the worst of the movies to feature Jason Voorhees but also not quite the best. One of the few Friday the 13 movies where some of the action actually takes place at Camp Crystal Lake. Might finally be the last Friday the 13th movie.
First appearance (looking like this): Freddy Vs Jason (2003)
Nobody believes in Freddy anymore so he resurrects Jason to kill some teens in Springwood so the teens will blame Freddy. Unfortunately Jason's having too much fun killing kids so Freddy fires him. The kids come up with the great plan of using Jason to fight Freddy. Mayhem ensues.
It took 10 years from the tease at the end of Jason Goes to Hell for this to finally happen.
First appearance (looking like this): Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993)
Jason gets blown up and then it turns out he's actually some kind of worm thing that possesses people or something. Also Jason's mom visited a bunch of other horror movie locations when Jason was growing up? (There's a copy of the Noturum De Montos, a mandarin dagger, the box fluffy from creepshow was in...) Yet another adventure of Jason Voorhees that doesn't take place at Camp Crystal Lake.
First appearance: The House of 1000 Corpses (2003)

If it wasn't for this movie we wouldn't have Alien, Red Dwarf, or that cool stretchy star field thing we see in Star Wars when they activate their Hyper Drives.
Charlie and his girlfriend don't listen to the warnings of a creepy guy at a gas station and end up running afoul of the HELL COP. Hell Cop kidnaps Charlie's girl. Charlie goes to hell to find his girlfriend. Charlie has a nice adventure through hell encountering a bunch of colourful characters.

Three strange creatures are forced to the surface by a oil company drilling for oil through a vast labyrinth of caves and tunnels somewhere in Colorado. One of these creatures befriends a local teen loser and helps power his truck in exchange for help freeing the other creatures. Madness and Destruction ensue.
First appearance: Friday the 13th part 7: New Blood (in this configuration) (1988)
Part Seven is when Kane Hodder takes over playing Jason. Interesting that he's the fan favourite Jason actor but he's in the movies that the Friday the 13th fans like the least, go figure.
Anyway Jason kills a bunch of people at a cabin on Crystal Lake and fights a psychic. Yet another Voorhees rampage that isn't at Camp Crystal Lake.
