Your Favorite Horror Movie, Then & Now. - Batz Kage - 04-10-2004

Ok, I was looking to collect some old horror movies, so I thought what better way than ask you guys, & just to keep it a bit interesting, I thought I might as well ask for yalls opinions on newer stuff as well.

So, anyone know any good horror movies that are quite old, not exactly black & white old, those aren't out of the question, but I'd preffer color.

See, what started my search for horror movies was the fact that I liked Evil Dead 3, even though it's not really horror, it led me to watching Evil Dead 2, a horror Comedy, & then finally I got to Evil Dead, a horror movie at its best, & lowest.
Evil Dead is my favorite old movie, while the closest I get to liking new age horror is Evil Dead 2, because it seems that horror movies today tend to not really have a lot of scary detail, or alteast none of them I've watched had it.
Which then again I've mostly watched stuff on tv, so it's normally cut up a bunch.

Anyways, what's you guy's input?

The first sleepaway camp was quite good... well the ending was good, otherwise it was just another run of the mill slasher.

My fave horror is probably the Night of the Living Dead remake. The original is so old and in black and white it bored me.

The best recent one i have seen is Dawn of the Dead Remake. The original is dated and good but lacks action. The remake is action packed but probably lacks character development and the social commentary but i think i prefer the remake.

I quite enjoy the Alien movies too.

The only main problem I have with older movies is most of them everyone raves about is about the undead, which isn't bad, but Night of the Living dead has never been my thing. Evil Dead had zombies, but they acted different, & were therefore called deadites.
What I find that my friends around here have against old horror movies is they can't get it through their heads to ignore the bad speical effects. I mean I cut some of the old movies some slack because back then they didn't have to much computer work, & they still pulled off some nice scares.

Plus like I said before, back then they seemed to show a bit more, like in Evil Dead, the vine rape part, not saying it was cool, but I wouldn't expect to see something like that in new age movies, or a "zombie" chew its own hand off, that's the freaky stuff I look for when I want to be scared/disgusted.

Although, like I said I only watch horror movies that come on HBO & the sort, which I'm sure are probably a bit cencored or so I'd pray, because I haven't seen an overly gorey movie in a looooong while.

I dunno if I'd call the Dawn Of The Dead remake a horror movie.... I'd call it a face-rockin' good time.


Your Favorite Horror Movie, Then & Now. - DARK OSAMU - 04-11-2004

For straight up HORROR I'd say the first Nightmare on Elm Street.

Another one would be a movie I recently bought on DVD...Young Frankenstein! Mel Brooks ROX!!!

I actually have a new age horror movie fav.
Yestarday we watched Gothika, Wrong Turn, & House of the Dead.

Of which Wrong Turn rocked with a slight old school revisit to on screen gore & mutilation, but I liked House of the Dead with the crazy zomibe killing spree, plus I didn't like the ending of Wrong Turn, where as House of the Dead's ending rocked.

I loved alomost the the zombie movie, ie. Night og the living dead, day of the dead, dawn of the dead and so on and so forth. One onf the best horror I've seen recently was the remake of Dawn of the dead. Good stuff man


Your Favorite Horror Movie, Then & Now. - Vile - 04-12-2004

house of 1000 corpses
not because the movie itself is scary, but because i cower in fear everytime i think about watching that pile of fecal matter again

-Vile.

I would like to add Hellraiser to the list of great horror movies. Also if anyone has seen the guine pig series it will give you nitemares for days and days, it is good shit.


Your Favorite Horror Movie, Then & Now. - Lonely_monkey21 - 04-13-2004

Look who's back! Yay I finally return!


Anyways, to get to my favorite movies... Then I would have to say Night of the living dead, and now...The last really good horror movie I was was Dawn of the Dead. I think I have a thing for zombie movies.
