Same here, I rly enjoy listening to Cinemassacre compilations when I’m doing a task. James’ pure fascination and love for retro horror is incredibly engaging
As I get older I find myself more drawn to the content that is the real James, either on his own or with his friends, just talking about movies, games etc. I still love AVGN but the videos with him not playing a character stick with me more nowadays.
James has been to Millenials what Forry Ackerman was to Baby Boomers and Joe Dante was to Generation X. He has gotten an entire generation interested in what came before them.
Sad universal studios couldn't even capture a bit of the greatness that made the original universal monsters films great and instead made films that wish they were the original films.
Thanks James for putting all these videos together. It is both a great history lesson in horror films and genuinely fun to remember all the fun times as a kid growing up watching these films.
I don't care if this isn't new, it's still clever and revolutionary and pretty nice to have these condensced into time because, mostly I don't have time to replay each one. Amazing work, James!
Special kudos for listing 'The Last Broadcast' - often shamefully ignored and criminally underrated to this day! Great History all round, thank you, Cinemassacre!
This is a great compilation. I love the Monster Madness series, it's so much fun to revisit these old movies in a series that is now, itself, long running. Like most of these movies, these reviews really hold up.
as a big-time horror movie lover myself, this one is pure gold. thank you very much for all your dedication and hard work, james. will literally continue to watch every single video you put out. that uniqueness you have, which one can't really put into words, in my opinion, is unmatched.
One of the best videos on TH-cam. Bravo! I really hope James treats us with another season of Monster Madness some year even if it isn't a yearly tradition like before.
Maybe I missed it in one of the cinemassacre reviews, but has James seen the 90s show "100 Years of Horror" ? It's a great show with Christopher Lee as the host.
I love this one so much. Our family watched them all together every October and then we would watch all the films. We still watch all the great horror classics every October and will always love Cinemassacre from which we have learned so much.
There's a huge collection here of brilliant actors with historical significance. I loved watching these movies when I was younger and Vincent was definitely my favorite!
You are an absolutely brilliant reviewer!!! And the movies you choose are directly up my alley. I've known of AVGN since 2007 and love it because I grew up with those retro games. But for some reason I'm just now starting to discover the movie reviews. Its everything that I love about cinema, the films that you choose. Thank you!
I saw House of 1000 Corpses as more of a Horror movie than the Devils Rejects. It just had that classic horror movie setting of teenagers/young adults getting trapped in a house in the middle of no where.
We love ❤️ Monster Madness James!! It's something that reignited that Halloween feeling and the anticipation waiting for an episode to come out during October. I want to say thank you. Not just for AVGN, or Board James... But the massacre in Cinemassacre! All the Horror films and shows you have covered. So many it's absolutely ridiculous! A selfish part of me never wants it to end, but i know it's a lot of tiring work. Thanks James! ❤️
Personal opinion: I know we have the Golden Age, Silver Age and Bronze Age of horror, which was followed up in the 90's and 2000's by the "Modern Age", but I do believe we are currently in a new renaissance of horror movies with studios like Blumhouse and A24 giving new life to a previously stale and, as James put it in this video, "desensitizing" genre. I think movies like The Conjouring, Get Out, A Quiet Place, The VVitch, Split, Hereditary, Us, Midsommar and The Lighthouse are all very high quality horror films that stand toe to toe with some of the classics in this video. There will always be Shitty horror films in every era of history, but I think it's important to acknowledge when good horror films invent new techniques or repurpose old ideas. Thanks for reuploading all these videos!
UNIVERSAL should re release these Monster Classics using modern 3D effects for a decent 2 week run at theaters near any Universal Park...just too they can't do it this month though?
Damn after watching the whole video now for this October I'm literally marathoning all these movies. Also the end made feel like giving James a good ol pat on the back for all his hard work. Thanks for reviewing all these movies!
Hey man, I never heard of you til recently, I pretty much watch your monster madness reviews over and over, every time I catch something new. Your totally awesome and I grew up in 80’s movies and love classic horror movies. I would love chat and pick your brains and discuss movies with you for hours. We agree on a lot, even some I disagree, but all together that’s what makes you a great personality to watch. Keep up the hard work and I definitely learn a lot from your reviews
Honestly, if it wasnt for me finding these videos, I might not have cared for all movies in general that much. But this introduced me to so much stuff i never saw before when I was younger, and I now have a pretty good encyclopedic knowledge of films now.
“I can’t think of anything scarier than a living being growing inside you, just waiting to burst out” Thanks James, my wife’s pregnant and I can’t get this image out of my head. Happy Halloween
Love these series of videos that you guys have done. Even though most I was aware of, there were still some information I didn't know. Hopefully you'll carry this on or add to it!!!
I personally don't care for the Universal Frankenstein movies. Or, I used to like them until I read the book and then I was just confused because I loved the monster in the book so much. He was such an intelligent, sympathetic character in the book, and I just think it's a shame they reduced him to a grumbling monster. I know I should look at the movie on its own right though so I mean it's not like I'll ever say no if a friend is like, "Hey wanna watch some old horror movies?" because it's still good, I just wish there was a movie more like the book, too.
Hi there James, I was going to say that you should be on TV, but I caught myself on, cause if you were, you wouldn't be on TH-cam making these videos. I loved every second of this video, you kept me enthralled all the way through. And you're narrative, fantastic, I was never wondering if it would ever end. You have a wonderful voice for storytelling. I love how you research everything, from the 20s, right through, leaving nothing out, and even whetting our appetites for upcoming videos. Truly an amazing video. 😀 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
One of the weirds things about me is I never saw 'The Exorcist' as a horror film. It was always an inspirational film. The battle between good and evil. The look of sheer terror on the demon when Merrick shows up in the cab. No movie 'hero' I think to date has had suck a bad-ass intro then that once scene. The meek, the humble, standing against the darkness. For all it's boasts, that demon feared Merrick and like a Jedi, striking him down gained the demon nothing, just galvanized the young priest to give it his all and in the end, victory for the light.
Read the book, those ideas are much more prominent in the book. However, I don't think any of your points mean it's *not* a horror film. You can have those themes and that story and still have a horror film.
I really enjoyed this. Loved seeing my favourites up there like Army of Darkness and Night of the living dead. I am going to check out some I've never heard of that look interesting like The Tingler. And some I watched when I was a kid with my dad, like the frankensteins. I was surprised not to see The Fly on the list. Maybe you can do this for other genres too, even thought I know horror is your bag.
please keep all your original videos on your websites with clips!! and insert a playlist feature or a autoplay feature on your videos on cinemassacre i love your original videos they taught me so much and give me nostalgia up the wazoo. huge fan keep up the great work
Finally October is upon us and is time for the madness... MONTER MADNESS! Thank you James these videos sparked my interest on horror movies and made my October more fun and exciting again.
the entire time during the scene where doc ock's arms kill everyone in the surgery room, i was just like: "yes sam. we know you made evil dead and we love you for it."
I just love to hear James talk about whatever he's passionate about.
Same here, I rly enjoy listening to Cinemassacre compilations when I’m doing a task. James’ pure fascination and love for retro horror is incredibly engaging
As I get older I find myself more drawn to the content that is the real James, either on his own or with his friends, just talking about movies, games etc. I still love AVGN but the videos with him not playing a character stick with me more nowadays.
Agreed!
He could explain to me how to breathe, and I'd enjoy it
Have you ever seen a movie called “the house”?
James is the kind of guy that if he had a time machine, he would watch lost films when they were in theaters
I would too
who wouldn't do that
I would watch London after midnight
I would do that
You would do that
Everyone would do that
Your mom would do that
Phil swift would do that
The bug outside your window would do that
I would do that too.
James has been to Millenials what Forry Ackerman was to Baby Boomers and Joe Dante was to Generation X. He has gotten an entire generation interested in what came before them.
James sure does share my appetite for movies
Completely false
@@karanvirkooner1993 same here
@@jojoface4940 care to elaborate on that?
Little bit of Gen Z too :)
The one that started it all.
These always made October even better.
This is my favorite month mainly due to Monster Madness.
James Henderson But what's with the still shots?
I ❤ monster madness downgrade version.
Camp Cult is when it became amazing. Almost every day of the month I learned about a new completely shitty yet awesome movie to check out.
happy 666 likes
These videos taught me so much about horror when I was in middle school.
Max Marriner same
Same here man.
Time is terrifying.
Sad universal studios couldn't even capture a bit of the greatness that made the original universal monsters films great and instead made films that wish they were the original films.
Max Marriner 21 now i know exactly what you mean.. I cant give this guy up.. Fan since 2007 ✊
I'd argue that Bubba Ho-Tep was an important movie, because it proved that indie horror was still artistically and commercially viable in the US.
It was also excellent. I didn't expect a very emotional film about aging and the feeling of being useless and obsolete.
Dude i love that movie.Itès hilarious
Lol no
That little piece of Clint Eastwood trivia was awesome!
Thanks James for putting all these videos together. It is both a great history lesson in horror films and genuinely fun to remember all the fun times as a kid growing up watching these films.
October isn't October without Monster Madness :)
You can't spell Halloween without Cinemassacre.
Life isn't life without James Rolfe. Seriously, I love this guy, hes the friend I never had growing up.
I literally cannot go an October without Monster Madness
Preach
@jarjarfun guy Oh, I'll rewatch the reruns. So as long as Cinemassacre keeps them available there will be a Monster Madness.
James, the beginning of your Monster Madness is the BIG reason why I love horror movies today! THANK YOU! :D
I don't care if this isn't new, it's still clever and revolutionary and pretty nice to have these condensced into time because, mostly I don't have time to replay each one. Amazing work, James!
Special kudos for listing 'The Last Broadcast' - often shamefully ignored and criminally underrated to this day! Great History all round, thank you, Cinemassacre!
Nothing says October like Monster Madness! It's a tradition for me. :) Keep up the good work guys.
Thank you so much James for posting this! It's now super easy to watch this Monster Madness.
Those pictures of Dracula from Nosferatu were legitimately chilling.
Bram Strokers Dracula 1 of the best parts
When I was a kid I was terrified of him.
Wait…so that wasn’t from SpongeBob?
This is a great compilation. I love the Monster Madness series, it's so much fun to revisit these old movies in a series that is now, itself, long running. Like most of these movies, these reviews really hold up.
I'm glad you mentioned Slither among the pile, that movie is awesome!
Agreed!
Damn I love Cinemassacre during the month of October. Too me it best describes James, movies, music and horror games! Thank you, I appreciate it.
I love how much he cares about the genre. It's really quite endearing.
No it isn't
@@jojoface4940 also he should review Goosebumps movies
@@jojoface4940 why are you here?
as a big-time horror movie lover myself, this one is pure gold. thank you very much for all your dedication and hard work, james. will literally continue to watch every single video you put out. that uniqueness you have, which one can't really put into words, in my opinion, is unmatched.
I remember watching all these movies with my dad as a kid. They still hold up very well. Very entertaining!
Your commentary is both informative and at times hilarious. Good videos! You should narrate some classic actor documentaries.
Fucking best time of the year baby! Monster Madness needs a TV spot. I usually watch everything James recommends
Thank you for finally uploading the series. Just made my day.
You can't expect less from a man who made Cinema and loves Horror Films, thank you James!
The past hour felt like 15mn, flippin Monster Madness glory!!
One of the best videos on TH-cam. Bravo! I really hope James treats us with another season of Monster Madness some year even if it isn't a yearly tradition like before.
For years iv watched monster madness this is a great combo video,Thanks james your the man dude.
Maybe I missed it in one of the cinemassacre reviews, but has James seen the 90s show "100 Years of Horror" ? It's a great show with Christopher Lee as the host.

Unbelievable video. Your knowledge is mind blowing, and thank you for putting so much effort into making such a wonderful video!
Beautiful! These reviews changed my whole world way back when.
Same here in sure takes his time doing these ones
"I cant think of anything more terrifying than having a living creature inside you, waiting to burst out"
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY EVERYBODY!!!
These reviews make October special. Thanks James!
This is pure Gold !!! Keep kicking some serious ass, James!!!
Huh, some of these I wasn't even aware of. . . this has been a fascinating video. Thanks, James!
This was great James, thanks for the hard work!
I really do enjoy these long reviews
Man, I really love the way you tell stuff, man. Great video.
There's a huge collection here of brilliant actors with historical significance. I loved watching these movies when I was younger and Vincent was definitely my favorite!
So glad you're uploading these! I can't say enough how much I loved this series! Thanks so much for making it, James

You could include The Thing. John Carpenters version of course.
One of my favorite horror movies and one of the best practical effects ever done.
This is such a great retrospective. Amazing job, James
For someone who keeps watching these back to back in a playlist anyway, this is a great video. More please.
I love this month. The best part of the year with all Monster Madness and everything Horror. You rock James! A+++
I saw House of 1000 Corpses as more of a Horror movie than the Devils Rejects. It just had that classic horror movie setting of teenagers/young adults getting trapped in a house in the middle of no where.
Really gonna miss Monster Madness, but thanks James for given us these collections

Fantastic video man. You really know your stuff when it comes to horror movies. 😊
surprised you didnt mention The Thing (or The Shining) at all... glad you mentioned Shawn of The Dead though :) the cornetto trilogy is my favorite
Weird... TH-cam is currently down,no videos are playing for users, except for this one! You rock James!
Thanx James. It's good to see them all together like this.
Damn after watching the whole video now for this October I'm literally marathoning all these movies. Also the end made feel like giving James a good ol pat on the back for all his hard work. Thanks for reviewing all these movies!

This is great! They’re all together. I love watching monster madness every October!
Wow I didn't know Kevin made Toccata too! Thanks for using his work and crediting him correctly. He's a gem, like Cinemassacre.
Shit, this was really good. Great list and commentary. Very informative.

Why does Mike look like Mr. Hyde? Coincidence? I think not.
This makes me happy.
The 70's version of Carrie is my favorite scary movie. Piper Laurie was meant for the role of Carrie's mother.
Great work putting all of this together.
Truly enjoyed it 👍👍
Love these series of videos that you guys have done. Even though most I was aware of, there were still some information I didn't know. Hopefully you'll carry this on or add to it!!!
This video was uploaded on the 20th anniversary of the NA release of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
A very good Documentary about the History of Horror Films! Wish you also good Halloween, James! (Y)
Thank you so much for making this! I learned a lot!

You must have the lowest standards in the world
More please, this is way more convinient than scrolling through the videos one by one
