Members JRoll Posted July 13, 2007 Members Share Posted July 13, 2007 "He wants you too Bassgeek" It's all subjective. Children of the corn did it for me. Seeing it for the 1st time as a young lad, and again at college with a head full of boomers. They trucked us all out into one of the cornfields in hay wagons and made a clearing, playing it on an old projector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members davidM Posted July 16, 2007 Members Share Posted July 16, 2007 Wow! Nice to see people appreciate good horror films... although I felt the Hitcher was a little disappointing. John Ryder started off really scary when we first got in the car, and then less and less. But hey I'm desensitized now, and don't care to watch the remake. Side note : we watched Lost Boys last night, and Monster Squad is coming out on DVD next week. Technically not horror films, but classics all the same. Surprised no one called Last House on the Left.

I had to go into my room and get the original and show it to her to make her believe me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bonoman Posted July 16, 2007 Members Share Posted July 16, 2007 Children of the Corn sucked!!!, As Did Maximum Overdrive and Cujo. I never saw Christine, and I forgot about Maximum Overdrive, but you're right in that it sucked, but when I was a kid Cujo scared the crap out of me! I stayed away from my dog for a week after seeing that movie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sunburstbasser Posted July 16, 2007 Members Share Posted July 16, 2007 Alien, the original "Jaws in space" and not the action sequel. And NOT 3/Resurrection.

Members Taustin Powers Posted July 17, 2007 Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 All horror / slasher movie fans should check out "Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon"! (IMDB Link) It's a somewhat low budget movie that I saw at the Fantasy Film Fest last year. It never saw a big commercial theatrical release, but it's now available on DVD! (I just ordered mine yesterday!) It's basically a Rob Reiner "mockumentary" style behind-the-scenes approach to the slasher genre. This student film team is following Leslie Vernon around with their cameras as he is preparing to be the next Freddy or Jason type serial killer. It's hilarious and pokes loads of good fun at the entire genre - many good laughs especially for fans of slasher movies! And it actually gets somewhat creepy and intense in the end, too, with a clever twist. Great acting too, Robert Englung has a part in it as well!

Members brake Posted July 17, 2007 Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 I like lots and lots of different horror movies. My favorite right now is probably Halloween, or the Shining. I really do like most all horror flicks, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members davidM Posted July 17, 2007 Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 Did anyone go to Horrorfest 8 movies to Die for? I know those are all one DVD now. I saw the ABandoned and Gravedancers. Both were pretty solid. Except the end of Gravedancers has a bad ending do to a huge CGI ending. Think the end of House on Haunted Hill (the remake) times ten. That kind of bad CGI. Abandoned was really creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members seraphim7s Posted July 17, 2007 Members Share Posted July 17, 2007 Surprised no one mentioned Alien, which is essentially a horror movie disguised as a sci-fi, just as Aliens is an action movie disguised as a sci-fi. The Japs do some good horror: Ringu and the Audition especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
