Horror Film Fans?

I was very skeptical about Rob Zombie remaking the Halloween films as they were the first horror films I watched when I was a kid. He did a fantastic job and brought horror to a new level...IMO.

I love classic Horror too!

Nosferatu
Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
Dracula (old and new) Anything vampire really
Frankenstein
Hitchcock (everything)
Dracula's daughter
Cat People!
The Hammer films
Godzilla, Mothra, Gamera (the old ones)
Night of the Lepus (mad bunnies everywhere

)
Tales of the Crypt
Terror Train (Hilarious)
Creepshow for sure!
Jaws..when the head rolls out or the boat!

I really enjoyed the series Dark Shadows.

I would have to say that my very fav is Suspiria by Dario Argento! OK, or the Omen. LOVE the Omen. Or Carrie??? When Carrie's mom is crucified with kitchen utensils...laughhhhhhhhhhhh...the potato peeler.

So many more!

Great idea for a thread!

BRAINS BRAINS, gotta love that emote

I'm a big horror fan - but I am not too crazy about zombie movies. I can watch them now, but Dawn of the Dead (the original) still gives me the creeps.

Apocalipstic · 11-30-2009, 02:13 PM

Both Night of the Living and Dawn of the Dead creep me out!

I saw them both at the theatre on the late show when I was 17.

MysticOceansFL · 10-27-2011, 07:49 PM

Enjoys a good horror flick!!!

scootebaby · 10-27-2011, 07:58 PM

OHhhhhhhh thats the first time ive seen the preview for The Devil Inside........i love possession movies...i wanna see Case 39 and Insidious.

I,too,like gore,but i love the mind f**k even more...the scare factor--those that are within the realm of possibility..THOSE are the best kind!

ButchEire · 10-27-2011, 07:59 PM

I have seen, literally, every horror movie ever made (as far as I can tell) and haven't been scared yet. This is not to say I don't enjoy them, because in most cases I do. Some of my favorites:

Paranormal Entity
The Fourth Kind
The Fog
The Thing
White Noise
The Others
Sixth Sense

But for Halloween, I prefer spending my time with real dead people, so I go on a ghost hunt every Halloween evening. Pitch black, one lantern for the 10-15 people walking through an old fort. No phones, no one can hear you scream....

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

puddin' · 02-10-2012, 03:04 PM

it's a rainy sat'day hea... gettin' ready to watch "the haunting" and "before the devil knows your dead"!

Big horror fan here. Big, big monster fan. I especially love the Universal monster classics (Creature from the Black Lagoon is my all-time fave, considering, to me, he's the only *real* monster of the group, the rest spending at least half their time in human form. Even Frank was made of human parts).
Love Hammer horror movies, 50s and 60s - especially the horror-of-personality and Atomic Age exploitation films (oh the terror of social alienation, how I relate to thee), Italian horror, Hitchcock, zombies, werewolves, aliens/UFO abductions, good ole cannibalism, anything obscure or underground, especially if it's been burned or banned somewhere at some point.

Some faves include:
George Romero's Night of the Living Dead
The Exorcist
Psycho
The Descent
High Tension
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Entity
The Hills Have Eyes
Jaws

Vincent Price was a class act. I'm trying to get my hands on a copy of his cookbook - apparently he was quite the gourmand.

Only one so far I've not been able to watch (only a few minutes in and had to stop) was Last House on the Left. If you've seen it you know why or if you know the history of the original (Wes Craven's first film) you'll understand.

Has anyone seen House of the Devil? I'm dying to see it.

NotAnAverageGuy · 11-30-2009, 02:16 PM

Excellent movies ya'll, glad to see I am not alone in my likeage of Horror!!!!

Does anyone else think the little girl in The Ring looks like an evil Holly Hobby?

Totally.

I think Holly Hobbie's scarier though. Even for the 70s, Holly's look was anachronistic, which would mean that either (1) she has access to a time machine that brings her to and from the prairie frontier, or (2) she belongs to some kind of polygamist cult. Either way that dress was meant to hide her teen pregnancy. I'm sure of it.

Blaze · 11-30-2009, 03:05 PM

I agree, my sister's entire bedroom was HH and they never showed her face. Creepy!

When I saw The Ring, it all made sense!
