shit, I haven't seen that in years. Might have to add that to the halloween marathon (also on that list, The Fury)

I mentioned this elsewhere, but 1981's \The Changeling is a really good suspense/creep movie.

I watched the original The Crazies the other day and forgot how awesome Richard France is (who also plays the one-eyed doctor on TV in the original Dawn of the Dead.

what else is on your list?



others i came up with:

basket case (very low budget but also very awesome)
splinter (kind of reminds me of the thing a bit)
the prowler (underrated 80's slasher)
the house of the devil (definitely watch this. it's great)
hell night (linda blair hbo horror staple from the 80's, don't think it's readily available on netflix)
isolation
dog soldiers (needed another werewolf movie up in here)
eden lake (kind of torture porn-ish but the scene with the indian kid gives me the creeps)
cannibal holocaust (nuff said)
the children
tombs of the blind dead (slowest but creepiest zombies i've seen yet)
burning bright (ridiculous setup but oh my lord it's quite the tenses)
triangle (not quite horror, kind of a combination of timecrimes and primer)
left bank
who can kill a child?
frozen
the last exorcism
piranha 3D

I haven't really drawn up a gameplan yet, but it'll probably be a combination of whatever's streaming on Netflix and what I get at the video store. Your werewolf comment has tempted me to do a theme I could line up:

Howling
Silver Bullett
American Werewolf in London
Bad Moon
Dog Soldiers
The Wolfman
(?)
Ginger Snaps (?)

are ether of those last two any good? I've heard nothing about the former, and glowing praise of the latter.

But then again, there's always the chance that I'll just get a bunch of slasher flicks.

The Wolfman was decent. There's a little too much CGI but it looks somewhat decent and it's really bloody, which I liked. The ending gets really goofy though and I wish they'd just stuck more to the plot of the original and didn't throw in that twist.

I've never seen Ginger Snaps but have heard good things about it. I just added it to my queue.

Let me in was a pretty good remake. Both kids were great. Not as gory though. Lacking in the atmospheric greatness of let the right one in as well. But solid regardless!

This movie was fantastic. I agree that it isn't quite horror... but close enough to qualify for the thread for sure.

I probably have recommended this at one point or another, but new thread= new pimping- The Innocents:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055018/

No blood, no gore, no monsters, no chainsaws, no torture, just a superbly crafted/written/acted creepy-ass movie.


I was going to recommend this as well. Definitely my favorite of the genre. BFI just released it on blu-ray too (region B locked though). :rawk:

It looks like I might not be able to line up an all-night horror-a-gogo, since it looks like I won't have a quiet weekend night any time between now and Halloween. So I've decided to just watch a movie or two every night I'm home.

Last night I watched House of the Devil, which was MUCH better than I expected it to be. It was made last year but is filmed as an early 80s satanic cult movie. I was just thinking about how obsessed the US was with murdering satanic cults in the 80s, so that was pretty cool.

Followed it with American Werewolf in London, which I hadn't seen in awhile and loved as much as the first time I saw it. What the hell happened to John Landis? Was it that his usual actors (Aykroyd, Eddie Murphy) just stopped being great? Did Vic Morrow's ghost haunt him into sucking? Kentucky Fried Movie through Coming To America is such a fucking great stretch of movies... I really hope Burke & Hare is good...

Is the Red Riding Trilogy good for Halloween, or is it more of a true-crime suspense thing?

It's more of a true-crime suspense thing, not really Halloween type films, but it's amazing.

I just watched People Under the Stairs for the first time, that scratched my Halloween itch pretty well.

I'll agree with paper here... Red Riding is a great crime drama. It is violent at times, tense at others... but it isn't horror. Save it until after Halloween and then enjoy without any horror expectations.
