dcr Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 What, no "Basket Case"? Watching "Psycho" is like shopping at Saks. Watching "Basket Case" is like shopping at roadside gas station on a desert reservation. And brother, that's where the real horror is! (PS That said, "Psycho" definitely is on my short list of best-evers. There, I bit you.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butcherNburn Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Wow Basket Case, I forgot about that one. These remind me of the old days (ouch the 80's are the old days?), of when I used to rent about 6 VHS's a week. Now I can't seem to find anything at the video store I really want to see. It probably doesn't help that my local Blockbuster has 3 year old movies in the "New Realease" section, and no "Full Release" section. I always leaned towards comedy anyway. "Sound of Mucus", now that's scary. I guess on the music front it would be that and a "Live Poison Concert". Aaaaaaaaaahhh! If you think my playing is bad, you should hear me sing!

wraub Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 dcr-Classic! Watch out for Bilal... Have to add the Evil Dead films, and the Re-Animator movies. Freaks-The film that ruined Tod Browning's career... The first Alien film. The last episode of Trilogy Of Terror, the one with Karen Black chased by a Zuni fetish doll with a steak knife around her apartment. Richard Matheson rules! ihategarybettman- about Office Space- you pegged it. scary muddy cat- Could that be He Knows You're Alone? Erik- Tetsuo, awesome! Seen the sequel?

That was when the two, ah, (what would you call them?)... "embryonically challenged beings" got together in that crib in the attic... what a combination of horror, love and comedy THAT was! If you don't know what I'm talking about, go find and view them... at your own risk. VERY politically incorrect and somewhat entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudcat Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Originally posted by wraub: ...scary muddy cat- Could that be He Knows You're Alone?..Good movie, but not the one I'm thinking of. In the movie I'm referencing, you never see the killer. In fact, the creepiest part of the movie is the very end. (EDIT - Deleted so as not to give away the ending to anyone who wants to see the movie for themselves. It's a good 'un. Go rent it!) I know it was a Canadian production. Wish I could remember the title! EDIT! I poked around on the net and found it! The movie is called BLACK CHRISTMAS ! If you like stalker movies, this is a great one!

Mike H. Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I favor the 70's & 80's old school horror when I think horror flicks peaked. Night of the Living Dead Hellraiser - parts 1 through 3 (Pinhead Rules!) A Nightmare on Elmstreet - first three editions Friday the 13th series American Werewolf in London Exorcist parts 1 and 3 Newer stuff - Stir of Echoes (not a horror, but the only movie that's ever made the hair stand up on my arms/neck when I knew something was about to happen) Resident Evil I want to see the newest Exorcist installment too. I'm sorry Jusinruins, but I watched 28 Days Later, and felt 100% dumber :freak:for having watched it all the way through; hoping it'd get better. It started out OK, but went straight down hill from there. http://www.identity5.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahuna855 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 pinata: survival island i saw this on TV a few weeks ago. it's about a pinata monster that has a hammer with which he blugeons people to death on a remote island. its not even a comedy movie, it is actually made with the intent of scaring people "I'm thinkin' we should let bump answer this one...

dohhhhh6 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 You mean "Return of the Night of the Living Dead" or something like that? Where the guy opens a container with a zombie body from the night "The Night of the Living Dead" took place? I'm sorry, but that movie SUCKED! I saw the "Dawn of the Dead" (errr the one with the scientists and military holed up at a base), and I thought it was phenominal (sp?). Real turn around, imo, from "NotLD." Great movies.

... Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Best horror movie of all time: Toss up between Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness. Both brilliant. I met Bruce "The Almighty" Campbell once.

The Bear Jew Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I neglected to mention that I worked at a video store for three years back when I was in college... during that period, I saw SO many bad horror flicks that I must be subconciously blocking them out of my memory... But they're coming back to me now... Like: The Toxic Avenger SO, so bad. And yet, you have to watch it. Plus, you have to respect that Kaufman made the film with about a $5 budget and wound up building an empire from it. Killer Kondom The rubber that rubs you out! Killer Klowns From Outer Space Delivers EXACTLY what it promises. Vampire Vixens From Venus Really, really stupid... but kind of fun, too. They Live Aliens wear human disguises and take over the world. With Rowdy Roddy Piper. YOW! Ginger Snaps (I, II, III) Gothy, angsty teenage chicks turn into werewolves. Frankenhooker A prostitute made from dead hooker parts... who likes to kill her clients. I Spit On Your Grave Female vengeance flick that gave guys nightmares.... cover your junk! Then I also saw a lot of pretty decent stuff, too. Recently I've been on an Asian flick kick, so I saw: Ichi The Killer About a Japanese hitman with a real thing for pain. Really gross, but kind of fun, too. 301/302 Two women living across the hallway from each other have some pretty messed up problems with food. Suicide Club Japanese students start a suicide trend. Hijinx ensue. Wild Zero A Japanese zombie movie featuring: the WORST zombies in history, transexuals, weird rock club owners, aliens... and the greatest Japanese trash rock band EVER - Guitar Wolf. Then I went old-school.... White Zombie With Bela Lugosi's scary eyebrows. Etc, etc, I could go on and on... BTW, I saw the Tetsuo sequel, too. Japanese stories are SO messed up. \m/ Erik "To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." --Sun Tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedster Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 For me, the best horror movies are the ones that begin like "wonderful day in lala land"...then progress to "something might be wrong"..."something's definitely wrong and we're all gonna die"...etc. "The Birds" to me was one of the ultimate movies that fit that bill...the foreshadowing was excellent. The line blurs between "horror" and "sci-fi" sometimes...but, my faves include: The Birds Them (someone already mentioned it). I think a remake with some better quality giant ants. Or, perhaps a swarm of little ants. Alien Salem's Lot Actually, "Signs" was pretty good in spots. The first time you see that alien run across the screen, it's pretty weird. That, and the scene where it's standing on the roof in darkness, watching, and you know it's there. Not big on bloody slasher movies myself, or zombie movies. Too predictable.

Tedster Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 There was actually a rather scary "non-horror" film that fit the bill of the small ants. It was an early 60s film with Charlton Heston as a plantation owner in South America, whose plantation gets run over by army ants...billions and billions of 'em. Ants don't have to be 9 feet long to do tons of damage...and, if a "Them" story did actually happen, there'd have been millions of 9 foot ants. (Bugs Bunny voice): "It'd be koytins for us all, I tell ya, koytins" (curtains). "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly, more poigniant than scary, but I dug it!Add my vote here. Again, not especially scary, but had a couple of moments. I liked it, Campbell as the older Elvis, and Ossie Davis as JFK were great picks. Very entertaining, well done. IIRC the director was Don Coscarelli, the guy who did Phantasm. edit: A quick check of the 'net confirms Coscarelli not only directed both of the above, but Beastmaster as well.

Raven Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Probably my all time favorite would be Alien.... the first time I watched it and the alien jumped out, I almost soiled my shorts....
