hputenis Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 This might not be worth a new topic but I thought I’d give it a shot. The movie thread gets less clicks than Elliot Shor-Parks. I’m a huge horror movie fan, but a good horror movie is sooo tough to find. I’m a Rob Zombie nut. The Devil’s Rejects is my favorite horror movie of all time, and I’m also old. So please don’t tell me "the exorcist” is scary like I haven’t seen any of the terrible "classics.” Please post any great horror movies you enjoy here so I can watch them during this pandemic.

Agent23 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 This was one of my go to genres as a young child starting to watch movies in the early 90s. Of the ones that turned into massive franchises, nightmare on elm st is my favorite (I think of stuff like Halloween, F13, child’s play, leprechaun as things in that realm as they had huge 80s and 90s presence with tons of sequels). I can’t really think of any that legitimately terrified me or made me uncomfortable after watching tho. Maybe Candy Man (or CM2, can’t remember exactly) but probably watched whichever it was at like 10-11 years old. One that I haven’t seen anywhere to watch in years and years, that’s in the vampire genre (which I enjoy), was "The Night Flyer” if I’m remembering the name correctly. Basically a vampire that had a personal jet that would fly from one rural airport to another and just brutally kill everyone, and some guy was tracking him... I think it was like a journalist and not a vampire hunter. That’s one from my childhood that I’ve always wanted to rewatch since it’s been 20ish years to see how it would hold up viewing now.

homerpat Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 For those with Hulu The series Into the Dark is a Blumhouse produced film series. One a month. very hit or miss but more hit than miss IMO with a couple great ones in there. Fans of horror should check it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirdsFanBill Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I saw The Ring when I was like 11 and didn't sleep for days. To this day you couldn't pay me to watch that movie. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdsFanBill Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Also, fiance and I watched The Gift on Netflix the other day. It was ok. Not very scary but somewhat interesting. Also watched The Perfection on Netflix. Afterwards was left saying, wtf did I just watch. Basically haven't seen any good horror movies recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike030270 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I didn't know The Devils Rejects was considered a horror movie. He's come out with other movies since then House of A 1000 Corpses was a good movie The first Paranormal Activity was a good scary movie. The others not so much I liked the first Quarantine movie The first Grudge movie was freaky I'm a fan of the supernatural and demon/devil movies Silent Hill was good Jeepers Creepers Googling horror movies surprised me by what movies are considered horror movies. There's also subcategories like Actions, Adventure, Monster horror movies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically the Devil's Rejects is a loose sequel to House of 1000 Corpses. Those are definitely my 2 favorites from Rob Zombie. I'm one of the few that even likes his bad movies (Lords of Salem, 31, Halloween remakes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hputenis Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 A relatively unknown horror movie that is damn creepy is "As Above So Below." It's on Netflix right now. About a docu crew searching for the Philosopher's stone in the catacombs of Paris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Omega Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Not sure if it's considered horror, but Silence of the Lambs is an all time great, and The Conjuring 1 & 2 were really good too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shepard Wong Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 A lot of good titles listed already with Carpenter's The Thing and Texas Chainsaw Massacre usually listed as my favorites. I'm a horror junkie although I've been watching a less horror lately as I've been deep diving on 70s action movies lately. Some personal favorites a little more out of the mainstream, off the top of my head: Angst (83) The Beyond, although I could include a bunch of Fulci movies on my favorites list Body snatchers remake from '78 Kill List May The Changeling Suspiria but again, obviously, tons of Argento you could include like Tenebre Jacob's Ladder Blood and Black Lace plus others from Bava's filmography Demons 1 & 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hputenis Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 My favorite most recent horror flicks were Hereditary and Midsommar. That director, Ari Aster, definitely has some screws loose. I can't wait for his next movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen a bunch of these. The problem for me with older horror movies is that if I didn't see it growing up, it's hard for me to get into it now. I somehow didn't watch the Exorcist when I was a kid, and when I saw it for the first time, it wasn't scary at all to me. However, I grew up watching Nightmare on Elm St and Halloween.......and those classics still scare the ish out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
