Halloween Horror Flicks - What is Everyone Watching?

And, my fav...

+1 on American Horror Story... I'm just now finishing up the first season. Lots to go!

My favorite Halloween season move is The VVitch (spelled with two Vs instead of a W). I first saw it last year on Netflix and almost immediately ordered the DVD. It's set in what I believe would be the 1600's in the early pilgrim settlements on America's east coast. The overall feel is full of doom and claustrophobia, kind of like a Hitchcock movie.

Second favorite (and previous reigning champ) is the ever-popular Disney flick, Hocus Pocus.

^^^ I loved Creature from the Black Lagoon, but would say it's almost more of an early dark comedy

The Devil Rides Out (aka The Devil's Bride; Chrisopher Lee as a good guy, Charles Gray as the villain) is pretty good too.

AHS just keeps getting better and better. Same cast, different stories!

Val Lewton's stuff is fantastic. The first one I ran across was Isle of the Dead, which is great, but my favorite is Body Snatcher. I love Stevenson (and Burke and Hare) and I could watch Karloff's Cabman Gray torment "Toddy" over and over.

Oh hell no, American horror stories is some scary $#it!



Is more my speed!
I tend to stay away from fright night and other horrifying events!

My favourites are the original 1977 Dario Argento version of Suspiria the classic Night of the Demon from the 1950's and although it's not what you'd call a traditional horror movie I really like the original Alien film as well.

Arachnophobia (1990) scared the shit out of me. I don't know why, but it somehow broke the screw loose in my head that had the check on my fear of spiders and sent me screaming over the edge.

Finally home from work and it is a toss up between The Beyond or City of the Living Dead.

The original Suspiria is somewhere in my top 20 horror movies of all time. The remake was not the worst movie in the world, at least it was a different way of telling the story. A straight remake would never work.

Has anyone seen hereditary? It came out last year.

I enjoy just about any movie that takes place in a haunted house...dark, dusty & cobwebs.

We started watching Marianne last night on Netflix. It is French with English subtitles. Very creepy so far.

 

[smudgersmissingleg]

If you like the George Romero Dawn Of The Dead/Day Of The Dead classics 2 of them are free on YouTube (at time of writing anyway).
I just watched them and they're both good quality.

I'm not a huge fan of horror movies, but I do have a couple of favorites:

The Descent
Santa Sangre (not sure if it's horror per se, but it sure has plenty of horrific and surreal imagery)
I enjoyed some of those Japanese horror movies that became popular 15-20 years ago like The Ring.

I DO enjoy horror/comedy crossover type movies like the Evil Dead series, Dead Alive, or Return of the Living Dead 1 and 2. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if I can get some suggestions.

Street Trash, Bad Taste, Brain Damage, Frankenhooker, The Undertaker & His Pals, Sleepaway Camp 2 & 3, and Terrorvision are all pretty entertaining. At least they are entertaining to me.

I've seen (and liked) Street Trash. Will keep my eyes out for the others.
