Captures a lot of 80s movies genres.

(35,015 posts)The intro music and graphic are great (I usually fast forward through with most series I watch). The story, the characters, the acting....superb. Absolutely wonderful nod to the 80's.

Haven't thought about pudding cans in a long time!

(38,016 posts)So much of the current horror/scifi these days is hopeless, gross and just plain cruel. Then again, there's a lot of simplistic corn in that genre from the 80s. Somehow this series was able to take everything wonderful from that time and make it feel fresh and intelligent.
I'm going to watch it again come October because I like to watch scary stuff in October.

What's behind the frenzy?

(63,224 posts)Funny that a lot of people who complain about the lack of originality in Hollywood are totally on board for this retro pastiche.
Great avatar, by the way!

You can see what I mean from this image from the original game.
I actually had the game when I was a kid. It was pretty bad even by that time's standards. I never forgot it though.
