This and the other title 'The Third Saturday in October Part V' seem to have been released together, but one follows the other? It is unclear which one is supposed to be first because they are not a direct part 1 / part 2 (even though one is "Part V").
IMDb says this title follows the Part V film.
Any info or advice on which one to watch before the other?
I'm sure it's too late by now, but they were just both uploaded to Shudder, and I naturally watched "the original" first. Now I just started "Part V" and even in the opening titles, it's made clear that this one was indeed first, despite the title, then they retroactively made "the original" as a further joke.
shareI still have not watched either one. I guess part V is the one to see first, if they are worth seeing. Are they both comedy/parody type slasher throwbacks? I like nostalgic horror comedies, but these look kinda low production value.
shareYeah, they're slasher spoofs, and yes, very low-budget/not great, very silly humor and badly acted. I'm in the middle of "Part V" as we speak. Worth a watch if you're a die-hard horror fan (some of the characters are kinda amusing and some of the practical effects aren't bad), but definitely not good.
