What I Learned:
- Apparently, you aren't allowed to just go eat any guest you want in Dracula's house
- You could kill Dracula, but instead chose to kill the bitch who bit you, thus alerting Dracula to the danger.
- Surprise, he knows you're coming. And, duh.
- Oh, garlic. I thought he said Dalek. I was super confused by the potential Dracula/Doctor Who crossover in the 50s.
- Dead Aunt Lucy's in the woods in her nightgown and you join her because she wants to play? Stupid little girl.
- Burn her with a cross, then just let her slowly prance away? Way to save the day.
- Lucy's the worst vampire every. Under attack, she lies in an open coffin and takes a nap.
- It's nearly dawn, so instead of killing vulnerable Lucy, let's leave her for a while for no reason whatsoever.
- Lucy's dead, so we're just gonna just Mina as bait. You're cool with that, right?
- Mina's bitten! How could that have happened with the foolproof plan of making her bait and not watching her at all?
- I don't think I could take Dracula seriously if he was coming at me with There's Something About Mary hair.
- Just looking at a cross makes Dracula turn to ash. That's new and lame.

What I Learned:
- Naked woman encouraging a little boy to come towards her. Yeah, I'm not going to like this movie at all.
- Ok, so the naked woman is evil. Things are starting to make sense.
- Sneaking out to have sex with older, naked woman = strangulation. Take note, prepubescent boys.
- Screaming "The killer is here, I know it." at a child's funeral is tacky and disrespectful.
- They figured satan fathered the child. Oh, natural assumption. Really? That's a normal thought process in Italy?
- A witch confesses, because voodoo dolls. I feel the charges aren't going to stick.
- Vigilante justice. Against the wrong person. Isn't that always the way?
- What is with these women who fall to the ground in despair. Do people do this in real life?
- Naked pedophile woman to the rescue. Not sure how I feel about that.
- I have to kill the children. If I don't, they'll grow up to be dicks. -- That's one way of thinking

What I Learned:
- How nice it must have been to be trusting enough to take rides from strangers
- Murders, check. Drowning, check. Fires and bad water, never mentioned in the series again.
- Kevin Bacon with his unruly early 80s hair.
- "Just stay until Friday" - and that's the kiss of death right there.
- Sure, take another ride from another stranger. Girl has a death wish.
- Not sure what she thought she would accomplish jumping out of a moving vehicle.
- Nice speedo, Kevin Bacon.
- "There's a snake in here." "Then why are we in here?" My type of girl.
- Ohh, strip Monopoly. Sober, even.
- Kevin Bacon, having the gentlest teenage sex ever.
- Tiny bikini -> world's largest nightgown.
- Instead of piling another chair in front of the door, maybe you'd like to spend this time searching for a plan.
- They're preparing to open a summer camp in 2 weeks. Wearing bikinis. And no one questions the lady in the sweater.
- If you've killed the killer, why go out into the middle of the lake?

What I Learned:
- So this starts with pretty much the entire last 15 minutes of the last movie.
- Damn, this really starts so slowly
- Not trying to scare you, but let me tell you about Jason
- D-bags were popping collars, even way back in 1981
- What's up with the men's shoes POV? Keep seeing shoes walking. Like, why?
- Ohhh, a shantytown.
- Who skinny dips alone? While looking for their lost dog? You ain't gonna find Muffin that way.
- How does Jason know where everyone is at all times. It's like he's had them all chipped like puppies.
- Jason trying to kill you, no problem. Rat sniffs you, pee yourself.
Why I Watched:
Found Footage
What I Learned:
- Prolonged male full frontal nudity. You just don't see that often outside porn.
- Killing and eating people, I'm fine. Cutting up a turtle, I get all icked out.
- What the hell is wrong with these people? They deserve to be eaten.
