When i was in my teens The Amityville Horror was one of those so called classic horror movies like The Howling. Practically had a folklore all of it's own.

I agree with Amityville. I'd never heard of The Howling when i were a teen.

You can't disrespect The Howling classic film and novel same as Original Amityvile. After the fourth movie I think that's when they went downhill.

I actually like Amityville. Though the second film is better. The Howling though is boring. I really want to like it and have tried numerous times but i just don't see what most do.

Not at all. The Howling is very good. it did seem to have it's own classic myth though the same as Amityville. Mainly because of this class vhs cover. The Entity was another with one of those covers that sucked you in.

I liked The Howling for the special effects and being young saw a naked woman in a film for first time

I'm sure the UK vhs was minus the lightning flashes like this Dutch one.

Stitches. Conor McMahon. 2012.

Well this is a surprise. I tried watching Stitches on Netflix a few months back and didn't get more than ten minutes in before turning it off mistaking it for shite. My bad.
Ross Noble plays Stitches the clown a sleazy, grubby childrens entertainer who despises children. Unfortunately for Stitches the kids at one particular birthday party seem to be better at the gags than he is and when one of the little brats pranks goes wrong Stitches ends up meeting his maker at the end of a carving knife. Some years later the birthday boy in question Tom, now a somewhat messed up teenager hesitantly ends up being treated to a rather more grown up birthday bash thanks to his school mates. And who should show up? Thanks to an Eric Draven style resurrection via some actually rather nifty gothic black magic type ritual Stitches is back from the dead to deal with those "little bastards!!"
This is actually a very cool little slasher with some different kills and a very likeable cast. I'm not really much of a fan of comedian Noble and his somewhat grating turn as a live and well Stitches is what put me off in the first place. Ironically it's the same qualities that make for such an annoying character alive that make Stitches such a great slasher villain. The various teens bounce off each other very well and simultaneously embrace and dodge stereotypes excellently. All in all Stitches was actually brilliant and i really liked the unexpected gothic/pagan element.
Oh and an unexpectedly awesome soundtrack.
