i havent seen Hellraiser in yeeeeeears. You haven't seen any of the Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street movies or just the first ones?

 

[no country for old wainds]

any. i have seen bits and pieces of them over the years, and i definitely saw one of the friday the 13th movies while drunk with friends, but i don't remember much. i remember someone putting hellraiser on at a party too but my attention wasn't on it.

my parents always talk about how much they shat themselves when they first saw nightmare on elm street together so it's kinda weird i haven't watched it.

Go watch Evil Dead II now please

70's Body Snatchers rules massively, especially if you're into that whole "who can I trust?" paranoia thing Carpenter basically mastered with The Thing.

yeah you definitely need to at least check out the first ones. Just make sure you watch the uncut version of Friday the 13th. The next two are pretty cool too(3rd ones my favorite). But i'm a huge fan of the series so you have to take that with a grain of salt

I still love all the absurdly gory black-comedy types of horror films (unintentional or otherwise) but I've definitely been more interested in checking out more atmospherically creepy horror films as of late, like the ones I included on my list, and basically a lot of "what you don't see" kind of shit. Anyone have any recommendations?

classic: suspiria, the wicker man, rosemary's baby, the tenant, don't look now

recent: the witch, the wailing, kill list, berberian sound studio, the alchemist cookbook

I'll add to the classic list: Les Diaboliques, House of Usher (1960 version), Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Woman in Black (1989 version), Black Sabbath, Repulsion.

top 5 horror movie theme songs...

Still creeps me out to this day. ^





HM:



IMO Carpenter's Halloween theme is probably the greatest and most iconic horror theme ever. Gives the film such a terrifying and tense atmosphere. (Didn't bother to mention Suspiria and Rosemary's Baby lullaby theme because NCFOW already did, but those are fucking great too.)

 

[challenge_everything]

Philip Glass' score for Candyman is my favourite, along with Suspiria of course.

Has been my ringtone on and off for the past 15 years. Only other one ive used recently is Nears theme from Death Note.

2. Bad Religion - How Could Hell Be Any Worse?

funny story. I used to live in some shitty apartment behind a church when i was a kid and the guy who stayed above me was some weirdly religious painter/artist. One day i was blasting Recipe For Hate on my trusty Sony boombox and he came knocked on my door all mad and asked me to lower the music and he took a look and saw the BAD RELIGION CD case and tried telling my mom that i shouldn't be listening to stuff like this, to which he was told to fuck off. That guys was a fucking crook anyway, i used to think he was some awesome oil painter until one day i crept upstairs and looked through his window and saw him copying other peoples work. The guy was a complete fucking fraud.

 

[CiG]

He was ripping off other people's work and rebranding it as his own? How biblical of him.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... yeah, and he was selling a lot of that shit to clueless members of that church if i remember correctly. Such a holy man.

aside from audrey tautou (only seen her in amelie tbf) i am very down with this list.

 

[CiG]

For more Tautou I'd recommend Dirty Pretty Things, He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not and Mood Indigo.

Have you heard of Going Places BTW?

From Wiki: "Going Places is an upcoming American crime comedy film written, directed by, and starring John Turturro, acting as both a remake of the 1974 French film of the same name by Bertrand Blier, and a spin-off to the 1998 cult film The Big Lebowski by the Coen brothers, from which Turturro reprises his role as Jesus Quintana.

Like the original Going Places, it follows a trio of sexually depraved misfits, played by Turturro, Bobby Cannavale, and Audrey Tautou."
