- Argh!
- 1. ROTLD was NOT a sequel of NOTLD; it was a PARODY of it.
- 2. ROTLDII wasn't terrible because it was a comedy -- ROTLD was
- HILLARIOUS but still worked. No, the sequel was just badly written,
- directed, etc..
-
- What is it with these humourless horror movie fans who just can't
- understand that movies like Evil Dead II and Return of the Living Dead
- were out-and-out comedy pieces? For Christ's sake, next we'll have people
- who'll be calling, say, "Re-Animator" a serious art film...
