Halloween is almost upon us time to up that dose of horror movies.
Alucarda
Alien
The Thing
Let the Right One In
Dawn of the Dead
Day of the Dead
Pet Sematary
Event Horizon
Return of the Living Dead
Halloween
Stephen King's It scared the crap out of me as a kid might still if I watch it but I don't think I've ever watched all of it. It's not because I was ever too scared but the second half with them as adults is so shit.
Haven't seen these but want to watch them:
Ginger Snaps, Re-animator, Night of the Demons and The Fly.
What else is out there that's good and also good horror movies of the past century only Let the Right One In is a recent horror movie that I loved.
Cemetery Man, Shaun of the Dead, and Dead/Alive are great if you like a little humor in your horror.
I liked 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later (sequel). I assume you've seen all the Evil Dead movies (awesome). Dog Soldiers - pretty good. The Ring (US remake) - good. Session 7 - good.
Don't really care about any recent movies, but the classics:
Lets Scare Jessica to Death
Suspiria
Tenebre(is that a horror?)
Zombie(Fulci)
Black Sabbath
Really, any (older)Argento, Bava or Fulci are worth repeated viewings. I think the majority of the Hammer stuff is pretty good, maybe short on gore, but still great to look at. Throw in some Jess Franco and Sergio Martino and what else do you need?
Guess it depends on what you want out of your horror movie.
It's Session 9. And, yeah, that's a good one.
oops :-[
Night of the Living Dead
The Exorcist
Halloween
ALIEN
The Thing
With the exception of Halloween, which, believe it or not, I've never seen, I'd whole heartedly agree with Jor El's list. All great.
Of more recent stuff, I recommend the first Paranormal Activity as being pretty good. The third one isn't bad either. I'd stay away from the 2nd one, though. It's not terrible, but doesn't add much either.
Alien
Predator
Maximum overdrive
The others
Natural born killers

I recognize "The Brood" and maybe a couple of others.
What are those? Some look very interesting.

Dawn of the Dead?
Captain Kronos?
Scanners?
Zombie Lake?
The Omen?
Jaws?
Evil Dead?
Duel?(long shot)
Braindead or Dead Alive is probably my all time favorite, closely followed by Pet Sematary.
1. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (78 remake)
2. The Brood
3. Exorcist
4. Prince of Darkness (flat John Carpenter movie but I found it unusually atmospheric)
5. Jaws
6. From Beyond (Stuart Gordon)
7. Alien
8. Evil Dead 2
9. Frankenstein: The True Story (1973 two part ABC Afternoon Movie I loved as a kid)
10. Scanners
11. The Beyond (Fulci)
12. Dawn of Dead
13. Curse of the Werewolf (61 Hammer)
14. Shock Waves (again not a great movie but very very moody and scary despite lack of budget)
15. Friday the 13th ("Kill her, Mommy! Kill her!")
16. Death Curse of Tartu (total William Grefe dreck -- but it scared me shitless as a kid)
17. The Fly (86 remake)
no Carrie love?

have to agree with bolt on Jaws, Evil Dead 2 and especially the '86 remake of The Fly. bolt, you should watch Carrie, great film, totally creepy.

Saw The Ring liked it didn't enjoy at all 28 weeks later.
Yet to see Dead Alive and the Evil Dead movies.
Edit: Shaun of the Dead was pretty good so was Zombieland.
If you liked The Ring, watch Pulse.

Most of the resident evil movies are cool. As are the underworld movies with Kate beckinsale In them. Silver bullet and salems lot were good movies too
The Gate

Dead Alive is super-awesome. Directed by Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings). By the end, it's totally over the top, but you're already surrendered. I dunno, I haven't seen it for a long time, maybe it doesn't hold up.
Evil Dead II
The Exorcist
ReAnimator
Hills Have Eyes
Dawn Of The Dead
Psycho
Shining
Halloween
The Howling
and probably my favorite all around horror film:
An American Werewolf In London
nice call on AAWIL HORNSy
Going to add Halloween III: Season of the Witch
It's regarded quite low by the general masses but the main reason given is that there's no Michael Myers in it. They should have left out Halloween III from the title. I liked it when I saw it on TV some time ago great atmosphere. STOP IT STOP STOP IT STOP IIIIIIIIIIT
Anyone seen Dead Snow? Looks like a decent zombie movie made not that long ago (2009).
Nosferatu
Original Holloween Franchise
Night of Living Dead
Fri 13th part 2
Dead Snow is okay.
So is The Dead, an African zombie movie.
Dead snow is fantastic
Dead Snow was not good.
That shit was outrageously funny
maybe not the best, but great...The Exorcist III

Its just that era. The early 80s, still riding on the enthusiasm of what was the golden age of cinema - the 70s, cranked out so many masterpieces.
John Carpenter's "The Thing" is the "Citizen Kane" of science fiction, and I'd say the same about "An American Werewolf In London" as a horror movie. Even though its a major studio release the gore is first rate and Landis doesn't pull
any punches. That movie has some laughs but when you're not laughing its shocking the shit out of you.

Watched Near Dark tonight really good vampire movie has Lance Henriksen and Bill Paxton both of whom were in Aliens and have large roles in this movie. Delved into the western genre in a confrontation scene near the end.
(http://all-things-andy-gavin.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/near-dark-1.jpg)
Ah so all three in the picture were in Aliens the woman is Jenette Goldstein who was Pvt. Vasquez in Aliens didn't recognize her.
Near Dark is good, but feels dated. It seemed great in the 80s, but a recent viewing was less impressive. Still, worth a rental.
Dead Snow was terrible. Standard low budget 'college kids on vacation get slayed' and it takes like 45 minutes to get started. Clueless director. Waste of time.
Another vote for "The Exorcist III". Very creepy in parts.

Missed this post I'll eventually watch Dead Alive but a bit apprehensive having seen the trailer for it more than a couple times. Each time I've seen the trailer it comes off as being too over the top but yeah it's just the trailer.
The cabin in the woods is a newer decent movie

Splatter/comedy. Maybe not what you want.
Not one mention of the '74 The Texas Chain Saw Massacre?
jesus christ people.
also, Let Sleeping Corpses Lie is mandatory zombie fare.
Texas Chainsaw 2 is also good -- that one also has some humorous aspects. Has Dennis Hopper and I can't remember who else. "Hit her again, Grampa!!!"
I'll claim that OG TCM is the best low budget horror movie ever made, bar none.
Quote from: diasdegalvan on October 02, 2012, 12:15:10 AM
Haven't seen these but want to watch them:
Re-animator, Night of the Demons and The Fly.
I'll vouch for all 3 of these being awesome.

It's very good, especially because it was early on (1974). But Night of the Living Dead was maybe better (and even earlier - damn, 1968? - thanks Google!). In my opinion.

While NotLD was earlier, only cost slightly more to make than TCM and ultimately is in my opinion the better film for many different reasons, I'll argue that TCM still is the better
horror film. Few films have really managed to convey both psychological and physical/visual horror as well as TCM did.

Love the Hellraiser series...well, first 4 anyway. I'm actually scared to watch anything past Bloodline. Input?

Only liked the first two. Whichever one brought in a Cenobyte that shot CDs out of its mouth left me disappointed.
The new one shoots mp3s.
Am I the only one who liked Candyman?
The Devil Rides Out for old school Hammer, although I can't pretend to be a Hammer aficionado.
Silent Hill was pretty cool.
Anyone seen I Spit On Your Grave?
Nope.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Never saw it.
Yes. Nice tits on her.

For liking the film or for not being an aficionado ?
The Goat of Mendes is on my Electric Wizard tshirt. Thats enough to make that film cool.
