Ultimate Horror Film Night

MANIAC (1980)

THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2 (1986)

NIGHT OF THE DEMONS (1988)

RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD (1985)

I'd play these because not only are they some of my favorites but they're very zany, colorful movies that would evoke the Halloween mood.

Return of the Living Dead (1985) is one of the highlights of my childhood! Great Zombie fun!

MANIAC is a seriously creepy affair....

Good pick!!!

Another good recent movie that disturbed me was High Tension. Sure its in French, but the crap that comes out of your butt into your shorts is all Amercian, baby.

"Send...MORE... paramedics!"

That was a good on as well...There have ben quite a few decent scare flicks that ave come it in recent years...just ignore all those crap remakes and teeny bopper entries....

some recent gems:

WOLF CREEK
HIGH TENSION
FEAST (stupid and cheesy but cool)
SHAUN OF THE DEAD
DEAD BIRDS
FRAILTY (one of my top 1 all time!!)

I love that movie. Completely underrated.

Absolutely. Solid movie. And there ain't nothing wrong with Elisa Douchieku either.

CUBE is cool...the sequels are rubbish....sadly.

Oh yeah? I've had many people tell me they're really good. They're too expensive, so I've never bought them. They must have some sort of cult fanbase then, because the DVDs are like $24.99 around here.

I have always had a soft spot in me black heart for inbred cannibal films....

Why is it so fascinating watching pretend freaks pretend to eat other people??? I love it!!

I've held off on High Tension.....sounds like I need to watch that!

You know, the Japanese have been pumping out a lot of these lovingly wierd horror shows for a while now as well. I like a lot of what I see from that land...

UZUMAKI is the stangest creepist japanese film I've seen...

If Halloween were two days out of the year, on the next night I'd watch

PHANTASM (1979)

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3 (1987)

RE-ANIMATOR (1985)

AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON (1981)

Of course you can't forget the best Friday The 13th movies.

Part 2, 6 (the best), and 7.

I guess that arguement could be its own thread.

An American Werewolf In London - Classic!!

Anyone like that movie Joyride? CANDYCANE!!!!!!!!!

Part 6 and 7 are my fave "F13" movies too, especially 6. Part 7 would've been MUCH better if they hadn't cut out all the gore scenes before its release. Ever seen the uncensored kill scenes? There's a compilation reel of them up on YouTube somewhere (don't have the link handy at the moment)... some of'em were NASTY!!

Oh, another good Halloween night pick... "Trick Or Treat." Not only is it timely but it's also METAL!

I just think Jason is extra vicious in parts 6 and 7. I gotta check out that uncensored reel.........

Candycane!!! That's a great movie!!

One of my favorite scenes in movie history, which I want a poster of, is when in 6-7-8 (I can't remember) Jason elbows a waitress in the face and it collapses her face in such a comical way that my buddy and I rewinded (?) that scene at least a dozen times. Priceless!!

I think Horror movies and beer commercials can be so good because they have nothing to lose....beer companies just need ot get their name out there and the commercials can be about any old nonsense, which makes them great. Horror movies - due to the supernatural, creativity, and lack of constraints most other genres have, can do just about anything and it works. Throw enough gore and I'll come!!

Part 5 is my favorite. Yeah, I'm in the minority on that one, I know.

Part 6 is also probably my least favorite. Not including Jason X...blech.

FRIDAY the 13th part 1 till 6 (best are 1,2 rest are commercials)

EVIL DEAD (classic)

WAXWORK 1 (remeber that ? man! this was real good)

The THING (love it till today '80, really real gore horror)

The SHINIG (Jack Nicholson ... superb movie with superb dialogue)

HILL HAVE EYES (dude! i like slasher)

The DESCENT (maybe they live in caves ... who knows ?)

TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE '74 (i remeber that ... cool as ever be)

PUMPKIN HEAD 1,2,3

I SPIT I PISS ON YOUR GRAVE (only know by the woman ... sexy at that time)

CHILD's PLAY 1,2 (rest parts weren't so good ... but i was scary ... don't want dolls)

HELLRAISER 1,2 (maan ... my cousin have trauma till today !)

C.H.U.D. 1,2 (smurf poo igot this but don't watch it)

AMITVILLE Horror '73

I love CHUD - another life changing childhood movie! Canniblistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers!

The Descent is good too! I watched that one day with my kiddies and they thought the creatures were hilarious!

C.H.U.D. is a fantastic little movie that doesn't get nearly enough props. I usually hate the idea of remakes, but if they did a remake of C.H.U.D. with a decent budget and better production values I'd be first in line to see it...

"Jason X" is so bad it's good! You gotta give the film makers credit for doing something different with the Jason character at least, instead of doing yet another retread of the "Annual Camp Crystal Lake Counselor Slaughter" formula!

Here's the YouTube link...

It's even got commentary from John Carl Buechler (director) and Kane Hodder (Jason) running over it!

I'm too easy, I liked Jason X - went to the drive in and saw it with whatever other horror flick was out at the time. Nanobots, baby!!

"Jason X" turns up on the Sci-Fi Channel quite often and every time I run across it while channel surfing I just have to stop and watch. It's hilarious!

I remember when I rented "Jason X" and returned it to the video store the next day, the girl behind the counter asked me "Is this movie scary?" and I sez "Oh PLEEEEASE honey, these movies haven't been scary for twenty years."
