Looking for some horror movie recommendations.

[Reminiscence]

And the best ones I've seen in the past couple weeks after seeing probably a dozen are Feast, Severance, and The Hills Have Eyes (new one). Those were quite entertaining. Anyone know of stuff along those lines?

way to name sub-par movies

nothing's really too scary

Laura's scared to death of the Tales from the Crypt tv series and Salad Fingers... she'll probably post recommendations in this thread later, so don't bother reading her post

Dead Alive is fun, Evil Dead is fun, Young Frankenstein

 

[Reminiscence]

I've already seen those movies.

That's fine, I just got 5. From Will.

 

[Will Bozarth]

but yeah... uh... I can't give you any SCARY movies... as everyone knows, I'm a Vincent Price tool

 

[Reminiscence]

I don't care if they're scary or not. Feast was more comedy than anything.

 

[BlueSky]

the shinning is the best horror movie of all time.

end of story

Twice-Told Tales is probably my favorite Vincent Price movie

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

classics of the genre:
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Hellraiser
Susperia
The Legend of Hell House
The Hitcher
Candyman
The Shining, as mentioned above

thrillers that have supernatural elements and good scares:
The Changeling
Stir of Echos
Jacob's Ladder
Seven
Session 9
The Devil's Backbone (i can't wait to see Del Toro's new one, Pan's Labyinth. any opinions on it?)

older goodies:
Carnival of Souls
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
The Innocents
The Haunting
and, of course, Night of the Living Dead and Psycho

those are all i can really think of off the top of my head

Pans Labyrinth is awesome. I loved it.

 

[Lord Foul]

Pan's Labyrinth was excellent. Dark fairy tale with a lot of grotesque imagery and remarkably violent to boot.

I like the classics:

The Mummy (1932)
Alien (1979)
Jaws (1975)
The Thing (1982)

I'll second Darkspot's recommendation of Jacob's Ladder and Stir of Echoes. I also have a weird fetish for the Phantasm series that I cannot defend or explain.

 

[Will Bozarth]

I never really considered Alien to be a horror movie... more of a Sci-Fi.

 

[Lord Foul]

Depends on your definition of horror I guess. I never considered slasher flicks to be horror. There is something about the imagery in Alien that unsettles me on some fundamental level, and that is what I look for in horror films.

 

[Captain Beard]

Hellraiser
Jacob's Ladder
Seven

 

[DreamNeonBlack]

can't forget
Return of the Living Dead

Undead

Fade to Black

An American Werewolf in London


also, Slither is good fun and gross to boot.

Jaws and even Jurassic Park could be considered horror movies in that same way, i think ... it's basically man put in peril and fear for his life by something incomprehensible and beyond his control.

Jaws (1975)

<3 Jaws. quality family viewing.

at least in my house.
