What you got? I lean towards the cheesy 70s or 80s films, but open to anything. The last few I can recall watching and enjoying were:
Village of the Damned
Salem's Lot
Poltergeist
Children of the Corn
Not talking highbrow cinema here, just films to put on with a glass of Lagavulin...
Just started watching Walking Dead.... quite good fun 🙂
GF hides behind the cushion all the way through 🙂
Fright Night
The Fog
Mmmmm.....Adrienne Barbeau
Paper house.
80’s British horror flick that’s darker than most horrors.
Watched it when I was in a student house then crept out and hit the main switch plunging the house into darkness, grabbed somebody’s ankles while they were feeling their way to the kitchen. Nobody slept properly for a couple of days after that.
The people under the stairs
Hush on netflix is pure 80s exploitation.
The Thing
From Dusk Till Dawn. Shall I close the thread now?
Evil Dead 2 / Army of Darkness.
Ash vs The Evil Dead for more Chin goodness (though TV not film).
I remember loving the Return of the Living Dead series at the time, but I've not watched them in like 20 years now.
Braindead.
Black Sheep.
B movie classic...Dog Soldiers. Makes the night rides in the forest a bit more spooky😉
Cheesy 70's?
The Abomnible Dr. Phibes
Theatre of Blood
Pyschomania
Magic
The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue or Dead Snow.
The Thing
Suspiria remake was very good
I'll see your Dog Soldiers (proper great b movie BTW), and raise you Razorblade Smile.
Hell raiser
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Modern horrors are shit.
I see you 'Razorblade smile' and raise you Mr Vampire!
And, save this one for Xmas, Rare Exports.
Pyewacket - need a quiet house by yourself.
Shrooms
In fear
American Werewolf in London. Mmmm, Jenny Agutter...
Mr Vampire!
I saw this late at night on Channel 4 one Christmas, either '89 or '90 I think. Loved it, it was part of a season, can't remember what others there were. Something with 'Ghost' in the title I suspect.
Recent one - US
the hitcher
demons
demons 2
prince of darkness
sleepaway camp
the keep
twin peaks (and fire walk with me)
cube
death machine
lost boys
ruby
all of them great i thought (some are from 90's)
The recent IT isn't bad.
Proper B-movie and I'm never sure if it's proper horror but Bad Taste.
Whatever you do don't watch Dreamcatcher (a Stephen King novel originally). Just awful.
The 1963 version of The Haunting and The Ring (Japanese version). I found both good for constipation.
Pan’s Labyrinth. Creepy as heck, the humans are the true monsters. Saw it at the cinema, I can’t bring myself to watch it again.
Rob Zombie.
House of 1000 Corpses
Devils Rejects
The Shining. Watched as a kid at a friend's house, when it finished it was dark outside and I had to cycle a few miles home in the snow. Proper shitting myself. Cycled in the middle of the road for most of it.
I highly recommend "The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue". It's a 1970's Italian horror film dubbed into English. I saw it at a horror film festival at the National Media museum a few years ago, it's actually very good!
The latest Halloween is worth a watch. Decent homage to the original although a tad suburban Terminator in feel.
Geralds Game and 1922 on Netflix are worth a punt if you like King. In the tall grass is shite, but fun shite.
The latest one that I really, really enjoyed was Hereditary. It's a slow burn but very worth it.
The Babadouk
Unfriended
A Star is Born (truly horrific)
The Cottage
We just watched "They Live " by John Carpenter. It was 80's, cheesy, with poor special effects and dodgy acting. I liked it 🙂
Drag me to Hell - Sam Raimi's return to horror after the Hollywood Spiderman films.
There's still something about the plausibility of The Exorcist that gets me.
First time I saw it in a special showing at a local cinema aged 19 my pulse went through the roof and I had to walk out. Fared better second time round.
I watched some of 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose' that freaked me out a few years ago. Something happens in that film at 3am...for 3 of the next 4 nights I woke up at or within a few minutes of 3am which shit me up too. Can't really do them type of horror flicks anymore.
Interesting to see quite a few films I wouldn't have classed as horror listed above, but I suppose that's what Twin Peaks was really.
Arguably more so than the Evil Dead titles.
Not really a horror fan myself, but have enjoyed Get Out and Cabin in the Woods recently.
Ooh, I know.
It's not strictly horror, but if you haven't seen Tucker & Dale vs Evil then that's something you need to rectify immediately.
Also, The Cabin in the Woods.
Not really a horror fan myself, but have enjoyed Get Out and Cabin in the Woods recently.
Curses, you pipped me by seven seconds!
Have you seen The Descent.
Some good old fashioned jumps scares along with some proper schlock.
The Shining. Watched as a kid at a friend’s house, when it finished it was dark outside and I had to cycle a few miles home in the snow. Proper shitting myself.
Only watched it once as a teenager,super scary at the time.
Just ordered a copy to watch again before Doctor Sleep comes out next month.
I am sure I will laugh all the way through 😉
Bump! (I thought there was a more recent thread, but couldn't find it)
Watched The Hallows last night. Ooh it was quite nasty. Some dodgy effects, but certainly got the heart going in places.
Got a few more to go through too - His House (Netflix) being the only one I can remember at the mo. Will report back 👻 🙂
