His character appears as an obvious hallucination in Season 4, more or less saying the same thing over and over again and then completely disappears once Butcher gives into his "super cancer". Sure, he appears again as one of Synapses's forms, but it felt more like an excuse to have Morgan onscreen again instead of an important part of the story. What do you think?
Aside from Niki being psychotically unpredictable, I think what made me the most uncomfortable about Obsession is how scummy the protagonist is. Bear knows very early on that something is wrong with Niki and quickly deduces that the One Wish Willow is the cause but decides to go along with it with for his own self-serving gratification. Even when the real Niki emerges and begs Bear to kill her saying that he's never actually been with the real her, Bear's first reaction is "what's so bad about being with me?". It's only after Niki brutally murders Sarah that Bear finally concedes things have gone too far and he must stop it. However, even after Bear commits suicide and frees Niki from the spell, Niki now has to live the rest of her life knowing that she murdered her best friend, will likely spend the rest of her life in jail after the police find out what she did and live with the knowledge her body taken over by a monster for months. Bear is a terrible person to follow as a protagonist, but that's part of what makes the movie so interesting; we only realize how selfish he is as the film progresses.
Also, Ian is a horrible friend. He was sleeping with his best friend's crush behind is back and was actively sabotaging Bear's attempts to start a relationship with her. Ian was only concerned about the Niki situation because he was no longer able to have sex with her.
All in all though, Obsession is a movie that will stick with me long after the credits rolled. Aside from being really eerie and uncomfortable, it really makes you think about the characters and their motives.

These two are definitely the breakout slasher icons of the last twenty years, so which do you prefer?
Say what you want about the original Friday the 13th, but Betsy Palmer gave it her all as Pamela Voorhees and made the character iconic for the brief amount of screentime she had. Palmer was easily my favorite part of the 1980 film and really helped make it into a classic.

Both were directed by Marcus Nispel and have always felt stylistically similar to me, so which do you prefer?
Resident Evil 7 is a great game overall, but one of the most common criticisms it receives is its lack of enemy variety. This wouldn't be so bad if the Molded were cool monsters, but they're just... not. Everything from their designs to their behavior is about as generic as you can get for a RE monster. They're fine in the first half of the game when they're fought in between your encounters with the Bakers, but their weaknesses become much more apparent in the second half when they become the sole threat.

Evil Dead is one of those rare franchises where every entry is great for different reasons. Which is your personal favorite?
For me, it's still the 1981 original. It's tense, creepy, gory, atmospheric and has just the right amount of cheese to make it an all-timer for me.
This movie sort of just came and went, with people seeming to forget about it pretty quickly. However, I think it has a brilliant premise. Everybody feels less safe in the dark to some degree, so having a monster that only appears in the dark and can't come into the light is really effective. The movie makes great use of this gimmick as well, using any source of light like cellphones or headlights to keep the monster at bay. I also really liked all of the characters; the brother and sister were likable and easy to root for while I couldn't help but feel sorry for the mom.
Since these are the most well-known movies from Clive Barker, which do you prefer?
