Nice topic.

I know AMC's 'MonsterFest' or whatever they call it must be starting up soon, probably this weekend. That's usually a good place to turn for all of the 'classics'.

The original 'Halloween' is one of the all-time best.

Some of my other favorites are:
- Carrie
- The Omen
- The Exorcist
- Night of the Living Dead
- The Thing (both versions)
- Invasion of the Body Snatchers
- Evil Dead
- The Changeling
- The Shining
- Nightmare on Elm Street
- Fright Night

Some good movies there! I also forgot about Fright Night! Night of the Living Dead is awesome... I'm a Huge fan of the Zombie flick... GO figure.

Some other great Zombie flicks:

Re-Animator
Day of the Dead (Original)
Return of the Living Dead 1&2
Boy Eats Girl
28 Days Later
Dead Heat
Land of the Dead
Cemetery Man
Shock Wave

The Thing is one of my favorite movies of all time. I like them both but Carpenters remake just has soo much tension in it... Truly a masterpiece!

I'm not much for horror flicks and WON'T stick down and watch them for reasons. But I will watch Army of darkness and shaun of the dead. So as far as horror movies thats about my extent of it. Sorry guys, just can't do the blood and guts.

Then you should never watch old school italian horror! Lots of soupy entrails and eye popping goo. To me i'd rather watch any of this before watching the news. Or a Faces of Death flick... But not everyone can watch the spattered remains. I have a hard time with a movie like say Steel Magnolias or Terms of Endearment. Don't get me started on Barbra Streisand flicks... I get hives from those.

jacensolo66 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 16, 2008, 11:45:01 PM »

i dont really watch horror films either because the ones i have watched sucked. the only movies i liked that could be considered horror movies were the saw movies but i personally would consider them psychological thrillers.

Well they just bother me BA, you won't come and scare the boogy man away from my door.

Funny this topic.

Brings back some memories of mine from about 9 years ago.

I walked into my room at college, where my stupid moron roommate was with gf. Nothing like that mind you.

They talking and she was laughing at him.

Laughing at my roommate wasn't hard.

Well I said what are you talking about?

Turns out they were talking about going to see a scary horror flick. It was house on haunted hill the remake. It was 1999, que prince.

He was whining that horror movies scare him. Now understand he, at the time, was a 6 foot 4 300 pound football player.
WHINING like a girl, about horror movies.

So his gf turns to me and says: Hey do you want to take me to see this movie.

I said sure....whatever no problem.

He then starting flipping on me cause his gf asked me out in front of him.

I said, well if you weren't a ball less wuss mommas boy, then perhaps she wouldn't have.

Well Im married to that same girl, have three kids, and wouldn't change a thing.

Back on course:

Legend of Sleepy hallow
Night of the living dead-original
Diary of the dead
Bram Stokers Dracula
Corpse Bride
30 days of night
The Grudge
evil dead
evil dead 2
army of darkness
Charlie Brown-It's the great pumpkin
Garfield-Halloween special
White noise 1
Nightmare before Christmas
Sweeny Todd
Anything with: Bella Lagousie, Laun Chanie, Boros Karloff

Just some of them.

what a fantastic story man! thanks for sharing that with us.

CV... That's awesome! I too love the classics. A few years ago when they released the Universal DVD's of the old monster flicks I was so stoked.

I guess my DVD collection has more than 500 horror movies in it. That in itself says much about my horror geekiness!

I love horror movies. Just so many of the new ones of late are just so damn horrible, and not in the good way.

Actually a friend of mine, who lives near him and is a mutual friend, told me just a few months ago that he still whines about it. Even more so that I have kids with her.

DarthZannah · « **Reply #18 on:** October 18, 2008, 12:33:22 AM »

Me, I'm a sucker for the classic movies:

Frankenstein
Dracula (love the one w/Frank Langela!)
Wolfman
The Mummy-original

I also like some of the newer films
The Mummy w/Brandon Frasier
The Mummy Returns

and BA...VF doesn't need a night light, he has me for a cuddle pillow.

Yup, together for nine years in november.

I didn't steal her really, she kind of stole herself away from my roomie. His loss for sure.

TheBarve · « **Reply #22 on:** October 19, 2008, 02:28:57 PM »

great story cuyvaldar. That's the kind that movies are made out of.

Forget a few movies for my list.

Day of the Dead (original)
Corpse Bride
Stay Alive
Final Destination films

cuyvaldar · « **Reply #23 on:** October 19, 2008, 04:21:20 PM »

How are final destination 2 and 3?

I had a similar thread during Halloween '06 and '07, here. I still stand by my list of my top 10 scary films.

I've been into monster movies, horror and sci-fi since I was very young, I remember watching the old b&w films on Friday night "chiller theatre" and saturday/sunday matinees on tv. My DVD collection has well over 3000 discs, and if I had to take a guess I would say 80% of them are horror films.

I just watched most of the new Ghost House Underground films, and they reminded me a lot of the After Dark Horrorfest films. In other words, they sucked for the most part.

Glad I didn't get them.

Cause I saw some of those horrorfest movies and they were the craps.

No. Way.

I sat through all 9 of those POS films at the theater. And then, for no apparent reason, we decided to go back for HF2... well, I can only say that I am guaranteeing that I will NOT be attending HF3 in January of next year... so I expect a bunch of good films for that one.
