MesopithecusUK Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I tend to prefer classic horror movies, enjoy them more than the horror films that are churned out now. So my plans would usually involve Nightmare on Elm Street, Child's Play etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xzero4812 Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 ya i usally go thru at least 1 installment of a classic franchise every year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MesopithecusUK Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I hear Insiduous is meant to be good (not watched it myself though so can't confirm either way) I kind of have a thing for naff films so you could try Sharknado, Rubber, Bubba Ho-Tep (although more comedy/fantasy) Also, could opt for a Stephen King evening so IT, Pet Sematary, Sleepwalkers, Rose Red, Carrie...just to name a few of my favourites 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siuilarun Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I got off the new movie train a long time ago, but as far as (relative) oldies go. Anytime between October begins and December ends is perfect for A Nightmare before Christmas. A VH1 Halloween special screening was the first time I saw The Rocky Horror Picture Show when I was younger, and it fits the season. The late 90's remake of House on Haunted Hill is a fun trip that doesn't drag much, require much thought or immersion, or take itself too seriously. Anything from Romero, especially his older stuff (original Dawn of the Dead may have been his opus magnum), but even his newer works work. The previous post mentioned Stephen King movies, I agree. Actually, the vast majority of the Horror genre works well here, just gotta get yourself in the right mood. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolvie_181 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Here's some recommendations: Any Universal Classic Horror movies. Any Hammer Horror films Halloween John Carpenter's The Thing Night of the Living Dead Dawn of the Dead (original & remake) Day of the Dead Alien (while it's sci-fi,it does have the horror movie feel of it) The Fly (original & remake) Friday the 13th Nightmare on Elm Street Night of the Creeps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BhekifaZ Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Pitch Black, Shaun of the Dead and Army of Darkness are noteworthy and have not been mentioned yet. I find it odd that you would mention Army of Darkness when that is easily the least like a horror movie out of the trilogy. It's essentially a comedy, whereas the first two are top notch horror movies. That being said, it's still a good movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damon8r351 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Dead Snow. It's a Norwegian zombie movie about a group of students in a cabin in the mountains of Norway trying to survive an attack from Nazi zombies. It sounds pretty ridiculous from that description, and it probably is, but I enjoyed watching it. Also, you can watch the original production from 1968 of Night of the Living Dead, in full, on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXuE-CyYsdQ Edited October 8, 2013 by damon8r351 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herwest299 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 The Cabin in the Woods. Don't think it's your typical slasher flick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullstomp Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I thought 1 & 2 were better too, Army of Darkness was basically a comedy. If you notice I mentioned Shaun of the Dead too . . .another horror type comedy. I personally like those type movies more than pure horror, which I find to be corny and unbelievable in general. Speaking of which, "Thankskilling" is a good horror comedy. More so for its ridiculousness than anything else. Killer Turkey + bad special effects = Unintentional hilarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSXtreme_ Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Love the B&W's...Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, Invisible Man, Creature from Black Lagoon are 5 of my favorites. I still remember when AMC would run nothing but "real classics" back in the early days of cablevision. If it was in Color, you DIDN'T see it on AMC!!!

Jessethegreat100 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Go for those old Italian horror movies like the ones by Dario Argento and Lucio Fulci and others...

Ichiban-Hybrid Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) i dunno. horror movies these days suck. usually the one with sex and nudity suck the worst. the classic movies are the best! stephen kings "it" was a good movie. Then other movies like 28 days later and REC are also good movies. Survival, Jumpscare, and a bit of action and good story is what I need in a horror movie. Now just creepypasta & horror games from the internet are the things that creep me out. just depends on taste...

BhekifaZ Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Watch From Dusk Till Dawn. If you don't mind the sudden switch from a crime movie to a vampire movie it's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
