Favorite horror movies to watch during October.
 

Halloween :thumbsup Not the shitty remake. I am talking about the original.

A few of my faves:

Rocky Horror Picture Show!
28 Days Later
The Hitcher
Serpent and the Rainbow
The Seventh Sign
The Omen
The Ninja Scrolls
Alien trilogy!

Just October?

I tend to watch more horror movies during the month of October. Since, they play some of my favorites on tv. That I haven't picked up on dvd, yet. I watch them all year long. Horror movies are my favorite. I loved them ever since, I was young. :thumbsup

nice list you've got there.

28 Days Later was a joke.

Just rented The Hitcher tonight - loved it. :thumbsup:thumbsup

new or old version?

The first movie to scare the shit out of me in a long time was Zodiac.

An Inconvenient Truth




















:winkwink::winkwink::winkwink:

Is the ninja scrolls a horror movie? just asking coz i also love horror movies! Mostly the zombie ones..

28 weeks later are dumb!
28 days later are so so! - but alright.
Rocky Horror Picture Show! - i hope to watch!
Serpent and the Rainbow - horror? - tell me ill watch
The Seventh Sign - not yet!
Alien trilogy! - yeah!

Dawn of the dead
land of the dead
silent hill
resident evil - the first one - coz it is a horror movie back then not a action thing
etc.............................. (i cant remember the titles!)
all zombie movies even they are corny.. i just want to watch them.. heheh! :D

Serpant is a psychological horror, sort of like jaccobs ladder.

Yet the classics and the homage is misssing.
night of the living dead - bw
last house on the left
nightmare on elm street - 1st.
friday 13th 1st - pre jason

Then one must hommage to Bruce Campbell and the Raimi's, Sam & Ivan.

Last House on the Left freaked me out too much, and I just couldn't take the awful, awful soundtrack.
I don't go for the brainless blood and guts slashers like Freddie, Jason, etc.

A few of my favourite camp/B movies:
Kingdom of the Spiders
Hellraiser
Candyman 1 & 2

And how could I forget Poltergeist and Pet Semetary??

The Ninja Scrolls isn't horror, but it's got supernatural demons and demon fighting in it...

I am a HUGE Silent Hill fan, so I quite enjoyed the movie. The Resident Evil movies were surprisingly good! I would rate them as comparable with Underworld.

Hehe on last house.
Ok how can you diss brainless blood and guts (nightmare 1 and friday 1) which have less blood and gore than nearly all the movies you just listed. Neither of those two are brainless either. Keep in mind nightmare 1 was very tame and more psychological (aside from one blood scene), and of course friday the 13th only shows jason as a kid at the very end, the mother is the killer and again very very little blood or gore, those two with halloween defined the rules of modern horror.

As to those leaving out bruce, sam, and ivan.... shame on you.

Well you already covered the Evil Dead series :) But yeah, I guess I should add a few more...

Psycho
Shallow Ground
Ginger Snaps
Event Horizon
Blair Witch almost made me cry :)
People Under the Stairs
Shaun of the Dead
Saw I



http://www.imdb.com/chart/horror

If you liked event horizon which I did, you will also like in the mouth of madness (oddly same actor) :)

Yes I loved it! I watched Mouth of Madness right after reading a whole book of H.P. Lovecraft's stories, including the title one, so it was quite interesting to see how the movie was based on so many of his ideas.

There are some harder to find lovecraft adaptations and some not so hard to find ones (his mytho's is one of the most used ever). However most are low budget and or short films. He is one of my more favorite authors.

Me too!The Reanimator was just so disappointing I couldn't bring myself to watch the sequel. Dagon looks so lame, I haven't watched that one either.

I love his writing. It's so boring and dry compared to today, but it's a bit like watching black and white movies, knowing that they paved the way for colour movies. His ideas were just so creepy! Horror at Red Hook is a good one :)

Boring and dry? ummm I do not think so.

Oh just finished invasion of the body snatchers - it was on tv, gawd it needs to be um refurbished or whatever. It was so damn dark and dingy.

I meant Lovecraft is dry in comparison to horror/suspense/sci-fi today. Just like some people have problems watching black and white movies, I've known people who have trouble getting past the writing style of older books. I happen to quite enjoy his stuff, though.

But but but any real horror fan will just miss so much in their favorite books, specially short story books. Every horror and many sci-fi authors borrows from him, his mythos, and or writes stories in his honor. He is sampled more than any 80's beat.

Ok how can saw 4 be a favorite for october?

The Descent

Eraserhead
Pi (I hate doing math in my head.)
Any Poe tale with Vincent Price.
Tetsu (Japanese weirdness)
And those two brothers from Eastern Europe doing stop motion with broken dolls and assorted household goods......very creepy stuff.

I think I'll try The Omen ....

Argh! Can't wait to see it!

DOGMA - it is a must.

The British one with the girls in the cavern, yes. Not the American crappy one with the Alien rip-off creatures.

anything at the horror section of all movie rental places, or stores that sell movies

Pretty much any of them.

I especially like busting out the Tales from the Crypt and Creepshows -- they're filled with such cheesey goodness.

Cannibal Holocaust.

oh man, tales from the crypt and creepshow rock

creepshow was on the other day, the spanish channel though, i was pissed

Definitely, yes! :D

Silent Hill
Dark Water (Jap Version)
Ju-on.......

The Exorcist
Rosemary's Baby

The Descent -- the best horror movie of the decade

A Tale of two Sisters (Korean) -- only because it has one of the single most creepy scenes in any movie I've seen.

The Ring (American version)

Silent Hill -- not the best movie, but beautiful cinematography and set design, and some really twisted imagery that might give some nightmares.

Don't Look Now -- the most fucked up ending ever.

Evil Dead 2

The Thing -- special effects still holds up well today

Session 9 -- "DO IT GORDON!" inside joke for those that have seen it.

Jacob's Ladder

Audition

In Chronological order.....

Psycho
Night of the living dead
Exorcist...
last house on the left
amityville horror(original)
Halloween
Dawn of the dead
Alien
The Shining
Friday the 13th (1st)
The Thing
Nightmare on elm st. (1st)
HellRaiser(1st)
Day of the dead


not much else lately......

i love cheesy b-movie horror. :) anything troma is fine by me!

but i also have a soft spot in my heart for the halloween series, and for the nightmare on elm street series. :)

Aliens
Land of the dead
Event Horizon

Agreed:

Original Halloween
nightmare on elm street - 1st.

Hard to go wrong with anything from David Cronenberg, specially videodrome and scanners. Sure some of you youngins may laugh at the effects. Davids stories are always very thought out and really touch a mental nerve.

Please also add the thing (one of the best remakes in film history)

Steel Magnolias.

Go back to the classics,

Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman
Just watched Abbott and Costello Meets Frankenstein - very funny, really great Halloween movie.

The Changeling

Nice movies!!!

Just because we like a good laugh.... Young Frankenstein... perfect to watch while handing out the candy

Frau Blucher!!!!
