Hey everyone, horror buff of many years here...
great thread sonya, s and f for you
I spent a little time going over the whole thread and found some titles I'm looking into. thanks!
Some thoughts:
I don't think anybody mentioned the old favourite evil dead 2. (It's not scary but on the big screen the motion is nauseating and it's funny as
hell!) In fact, if I was going into space and could only take a handful of movies, evil dead 2 would be one of them. Another one of them would be
"Once upon a time in the west." which had as it's screenwriter, one Horror Master, Dario Argento. I was amazed it took until the (i think) fourth
page of this thread to mention Dario and even then, (EVEN THEN!) in a gore heavy thread, I'm sure no one mentioned "Demons" Which, at least in
english, is terrible but is a conspiracy buff who likes gore's wet dream. (sorry if that's gross...) but so is Demons. Demons 2, by the way, not
worth it...
There was a rash of necrophelia movies from Germany and Russia in the nineties, a title that comes to mind is "Necromancer" anybody see that? (I'm
aware that there is now another movie of the same title that is not about necrophelia, but that is not the movie to which I am referring.
And I can't think of anything grosser than sex with dead people...
There are movies like saw, that make you cringe, there are movies like the exorcist 3, that make you jump, but as for movies that are genuinely creepy
well,....... IMO
the Shining (yes it's less than perfect)
event horizon (see it despite its faults, a creepy idea....)
the fog (i know, i know, but seriously, turn the lights out, crank the stereo and focus on this movie, I've never looked at knocking the same
since.)
By the way, the 1980's Carpenter "Fog" NOT the remake!
If I think of some more I'll be back
Oh: I don't remeber who makes them but there's a series of documentaries made by some Australian dudes about nefarious satanic politicians that
feature spooky chants and latin incantations along with flaming or flashing pentagrams, etc. They creep me out too! (I can find out who or what this
is, I have the dvd's I just can't recall right now, but one was about prince charles and one was about the manhattan project being tied into a
satanic sacrifice.)
