Nightmare Before Christmas is an excellent animation, its great, a good script, good songs and is pretty funny, especially the boogeyman
5/5

Beetlejuice is very good, great acting, some good effects (the worms are great) and is also very funny, but I found after a few viewings it was not as good as the first time I saw it but its humor remains funny.
4.5/5

I've seen Demon Knight, a really fun movie, good acting, loads of gore and some great demons.
5/5

All are worth watching IMHO, Demons Knight is probably the most fun out of them, sadly its oop on DVD at the moment, I'm still praying they'll re-release it, I'd love to own it :D

Nightmare Before Christmas- Maybe the greatest stop-motion movie ever made. One of my all time favs. 9/10

Beetlejuice-I loved this one. Very funny and original. 9/10

Demon Knight- Saw it ages ago. Don't remember much of it. I think I liked it. 8/10

Bordello Of Blood-I'd rather just get Demon Knight. Only worth for Dennis Miller's great performance and seeing Chris Sarandon playing a OTT priest. Otherwise, pretty dull. Even the tits don't save that much. 6/10.

Nightmare Before Christmas is a delight. You literally wont be able to take your eyes of the screen. So many little creatures and tthings to look at, its a masterpiece of clay animation. Its the claymation at its finest! Plus the message of being yourself and that being different is allright, is really good. Check it out, youll immediately notice Tim Burton was involved in this from frame one.
Scarecrows and snakes abound. :D

Beetlejuice is one of the finest horror comedies out there. It has an over the top performance by Michael Keaton, thats hilarious. Plus its just totally crazy stuff that you wont see anywhere else! Ghosts that go to mars and waiting in line in the afterlife! Its crazy and fun. Plus Tim Burton directed it, so you know your in for some a wild ride.

Demon knight is just a really kick ass flick! It has all you could ask for in an action oriented horror flick. Demons galore. Blood and gore and plentiful. You wont be dissapointed...as for its sequel...

Bordello of Blood is less spectacular then Demon Knight. Dare I say its a a lesser film than its predecessor. Basically theres this vampire chick whore house and every idiot that goes there gets turned inot dinner. Well, it does have its moments (like that vampire massacre with "Ballroom blitz" playing in the background) and Chris Sarandon does a memorable role as "the preacher", so if anything watch it for that and Lilith the vampire who manages to say about 300 one liner jokes in every five minutes of this film. Its a fun time. But no biggy. Its downsides are Erika Eleniaks wooden performance and Dennis Millers annoying smart ass character.

Nightmare Before Christmas & Beetlejuice are both amazing movies which are very close to my heart growing up with them, I love Tim Burton's movies and these are two of my faves of his.

Demon Knight has a very 80's stuck in a house with demons outside vibe about it (a la Night of the Demons, reminded me of it big time!) it's a fun movie but I didn't get enough Cryptkeeper for my money (he just pops up at the start THAT'S IT!!)

It's been forever since I've seen Nightmare Before Christmas, but it's definitely a must-see for Burton fanatics. He may not have directed it, but the film is oozing with his trademark off-kilter imagery. Beetlejuice rocks. Plain and simple. It's an idiosyncratic rush of colorful characters and outlandish ideas. It's one of the most difficult films to put into words. Demon Knight is the epitome of mindless entertainment. Wet gore, ample nudity, sharp comedy, and a lively pace. Bordello of Blood doesn't balance horror and comedy quite as proficiently as DK, but it delivers enough cheap thrills to keep you from hitting eject. Dennis Miller is hilarious and Angie Everhart is hot. Really hot.

Nightmare Before Christmas- 10/10
A spellbinding movie, so strange and creepy.

Beetlejuice- 9/10
Another awesome flick, one that is worth the price to buy. It's strange and gory (for a PG-13 rating anyway) with lots of crazy visuals.

Demon Knight- 9/10
One gory, kick ass horror flick from start to finish. DVD was discontinued.

Bordello of Blood- 8/10
Gory, filled with nudity, funny and kick ass. DVD was discontinued.

I LOVED Demon knight! Billy Zane was excellent in this role, the movie held your interest, a nice amount of gore, even some *gasp* creepy atmosphere, the acting overall was good, the death scenes didn't let me down, good ending. The beginning started off with a bang by playing one of my favorite songs from Filter. ;)

Bordello of blood - has been years since I have seen it. Seemed more comedic if memory serves. I remember getting a bit bored with it but I would need to watch it again to give it a fair chance.

I havent seen nightmare before Christmas.

In a big minority year but I didnt like Beetlejuice. I found it gross (in a bad way), not interesting, and not humurous.

Just my 2 cents...

Thanks alot, that was very helpful. I guess I`ll add Beetlejuice and Nightmare Before Christmas to my must buy list and Demon Knight too, when it gets a worthy dvd release.
