Best Time of the Year, Halloween means horror movies...
Anybody watching anything good...or bad, for Horror Flicks
Fired up a couple of Classics w/ the kids......"Dracula" and "The Mummy"...the old B&W versions with Lugosi and Karloff. Trying to get them to appreciate the Classics
We also checked out the remake of The Wolfman with Benicio Del Toro....great Wolfman effects....the Scene in the Sanitarium Auditorium is Awesome....
We also checked out the Final Installment in the Saw series "Saw 3D" ....dissapointing to say the least.....was supposed to wrap everything up, but just ended up being open ended like the other 6.
The 1st Saw movie is excellent, if you haven't seen it, check it out.
"If you're arguing with an idiot, make sure he isn't doing the same thing."
Those are right up there w/ "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Last House on the Left"........good campy 70's horror....spend half the movie laughing at it....Good Stuff
"If you're arguing with an idiot, make sure he isn't doing the same thing."
How about old series like "The Outer Limits", One Step Beyond", Twilight Zone" and "Night Gallery"? Surely these merit some considerations?
Absolutely....I have all the original Outer Limits episodes....one of the best Sci-Fi series ever....effects were cheesy but the story lines were awesome.
Night Gallery was another of my favorites
"If you're arguing with an idiot, make sure he isn't doing the same thing."
I agree, that's why they merit mentioning.
Some of the stories from all series weren't just to frighten you, but also to make you think.
When they remade "The Outer Limits", they also remade a number of the old episodes....with a twist. I have most of those as well.
Nothing beats simple fright with a dash of social awareness!!
Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead are all pretty good flicks. The movie that I saw when I was younger that scared the crap out of me was The Evil Dead. I watch it now and laugh, but back then it was pretty scary.
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
I'm curious to see how the remake of The Thing is. The original was incredible... I think my old man forced me to watch it when I was about five (sick bastard) and the walking-head-spider-thing traumatized me. I didn't realize what movie it was from until I was a teenager and saw it again.
Also, in the vein of Zombie flicks, The Walking Dead starts up again this Sunday.
Campy horror favorite: Horror High (teenage Jekyl and Hyde plot with a hint of revenge)
Shockwaves: How can you go wrong with zombie-nazis?
Dawn of the Dead: Made me think of shopping malls in a completely different way
Scanners: seeing someone's head explode, need I say more?
The Blob (original): There's always room for jello!
Night of the Gargoyles: Although is was a made-for-tv movie, the costumes were pretty decent for a 70's horror movie.
First Spaceship on Venus: OK, so this movie is a joke, but a MST2000 worthy flick.
THEM: Giant ants, that says it all!
Attack of the Giant Leeches: Stupid film with equally comical dialog.
(picture a scene with locals scouring the swamps looking for latest victms. Picture a town with PLENTY of motor vehicles but not one flashlight, so they search at night with torches?????)
No chit? Somehow I bet the Carpenter version is better... But I'll have to check it out. I guess the new The Thing is a prequel to the Carpenter remake, takes place in the Norwegian camp.
Another great Nazi Zombie movie is Dead Snow.

I'll have to admit, I was freaked out a few different times during this movie. Usually I get let down watching most horror movies. This one I liked. Some pretty cool cinematography as well.
