We've just updated our TRILOGY PICKS column! This month's inspiration was actually a ICONS holiday party we all attended last night where the features of the evening ended up being SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT PART 2, CREEPSHOW 2 and TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE: THE MOVIE. Who knew this random selection of flicks would make for a wonderful triple feature?! Read the new TRILOGY PICKS section by clicking the logo below! And also check out all the previous editions, all also linked below!

Sample from DEC. 2004 edition – “Come on, can't we do better than this? Doesn't a "Friday the 13th" ever fall in December? Jason Voorhees and skiing. Yowza!  Hey -- Michael Myers, you're getting a little predictable over here. Perhaps...I dunno...why not just take Haddonfield by surprise one year and make your annual visit on December 25 instead? And hey -- could you imagine what Argento, in his prime, could have done with twinkling Christmas lights, pure virgin white snow, some Italian hotties and a pick-ax? Or perhaps what kind of eye damage Fulci could have done with an aluminum Christmas tree? Zombies in a blizzard? Oh -- the wasted opportunities... Instead we've been treated to the cinematic equivalent of fruitcake with crap like "Christmas Evil", "Don't Open 'Til Christmas" and...err, "Rocky V".”

One of the very first columns we launched at the beginning of ICONS OF FRIGHT was the TRILOGY PICKS: 3 MOVIES YOU SHOULD WATCH TONIGHT. It was a fun section where Mike or I would recommend 3 movies ideal for a triple feature. Well, it's finally back with Mike's latest contribution 3 MOVIES YOU CAN WATCH WHEN YOU’RE BABYSITTING (WITH INTENT TO TRAUMATIZE). And even better, we've converted all the previous entries all into blog format so they'll be easier to access, search and comment on. Below are all the links! ENJOY!
