Horror Nerds!

[Cruella T'Kill]

So there must be some other horror nerds on this forum. Speak and be known!

Whats your fav horror movie? And with Halloween fast approaching, what are your plans? Scary Movie Marathon picks?

[Maleficarum]

i am fond of the Action Horror genre (Blade, Underworld, Resident Evil, etc). I also like classic horror (Universal Studios and Hammer Film movies). And of course... everyone loves horror-comedy (Shawn of the Dead).

[spencer_]

I LOVE HORROR. But movies never do it for me. They never scare me or unnerve me, and I'm actually not a huge fan of horror comedy myself. The Resident Evil movies (2 on up) were a joke, but the video game series is now too.

I have mostly stuck to horror literature and German/Japanese horror since they seem to like to go farther than Hollywood.

[KAllen]

Used to be more into it than now. Loved the lowbudget slasher flicks from the 70s & 80s. Of course the classics of the 80s (Jason, Freddie, Michael). The Rob Zombie movies I really love...Halloween, H2, House, Devils Rejects. The old school Universal flicks always kick ass!!!

[smazzon1]

My dad had us watch those old time-y movies like Dracula, Frankinstein (I like the book better though), Invisible Man, Creature from the Black Lagoon, etc. Plus he had a couple of Vincent Price films that creeped me out too haha.

I get scared really easily but I kind of love it. The latest movie I watched was "Excision" and though it isn't really a horror movie it's gory nonetheless.

[andygates]

I do love me some zeds.

Failing that, extreme OTT gore. If it's not sloshing over the heroine from a bucket or hose, it's too high-concept.

[illuminatus]

Give me some old school George R Romero Zombie movies, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead etc. The very first Zombie movie I ever watched was the original black and white Night of the Living Dead and I have loved the Zombie genre ever since. Having a Zombie Walk for Charity in NC close to where I live so may go to that other wise, celebrating Halloween with some Call of Cthuhlu Roleplaying.

Also love the old Bela Lugosi and Boris Karlof films.

[Maleficarum]

yay for Cthulu!

[Guest Snake McClain]

I gotta tell you I love all kinds of horror. Here are some of my favorite picks.

1) Rosemary's Baby (which I desperately want to watch like...today).

2) Christine

3) American Werewolf In London (that movie is about andy gates isn't it?)

4) Last House On The Left (original)

5) Halloween I & II. No Others.

6) 28 Days Later

7) High Tension (even though no one else on the earth likes this movie I swear)

8) It

Those are just the ones that quickly spring to mind.

[Radiata]

freaking Cthluhu man! Re-animator and all that jazz. Also, The Fourth Kind. Somehow, it managed to scare and unnerve the hell out of me, specially the "posession" scenes will all the static, the voices and backstory. Just imagine that! the creators being jealous of their creations, just embrace that sense of hopelesness and abandonment. Don´t have plans for Halloween, maybe I´ll be slugging dishes that night. But there is a Zombie Walk on the 20th!

As a former /x/ phile I just remembered this weird-ass horror movie in black and white and just special FX, but the name eludes me. It told the story of a sacrificed god and its child

[Maleficarum]

i have had to curtail the amount of horror i watch in my house... little ones and all. In the last few years i have had to make do with rewatching spooky episodes of xfiles and enjoying the greatness of Dr. Who. Ambient, spooky horror is preferred to the violent, blood and guts style torture-porn that is making the rounds the last few years.

Anyone watched "Cabin in the Woods"?

[andygates]

Cabin is absolutely brilliant. To say more is to spoil.

[Cruella T'Kill]

Cabin in the Woods was already on my list, sounds like I made a good pick!

I love anything with zombies, I don't know why. Away from the "mainstream" z-flicks I would recommend Dead Snow. It's got Nazi zombies, need I saw more?

I do enjoy gore, but if a movie can make me uncomfortable and squirmy without it, then they've done their job.

Some of my favs:

Rocky Horror Picture Show

Dawn of the Dead

The Mist

Martyrs

Aliens

Halloween (the original)

Rec

Battle Royale

Saw

[maegs]

I can't do anything with ghosts & whatnot (eg. Amityville Horror, Paranormal Activity) - Supernatural (the tv show) is about my limit with that stuff. Gore doesn't bother me at all, Action Horror is probably my favourite (and comedy horror, like Maleficarum!). I really need to see Cabin in the Woods

Is anyone else looking forward to the Walking Dead season premier tomorrow?

ETA Daybreakers is on Space, started at 9pm EST

[Artinum]

Anyone watched "Cabin in the Woods"?

Oh yes. Delightfully hokum for most of it, deliberately treading the usual horror tropes, and then turning utterly insane for the last half hour.

I love a good horror film. I find them hilarious, and there's a great satisfaction in finding out how the next obnoxious teenager is going to be splatted.

Paranormal Activity, however, is not a good horror film. It was boring, pointless and seemed to ooze a smugness about how much money it was making for what was basically absolutely nothing happening for 95% of the film. And... there... are... now... FOUR of them.

I blame that awful Blair Witch Project, myself. It's the same film, in a different (cheaper!) setting.

Failing that, extreme OTT gore. If it's not sloshing over the heroine from a bucket or hose, it's too high-concept.

Always hilarious. Ever seen a comedy horror called "Braindead"? It's about zombies. Sort of. And it's deeply, deeply gross.

[andygates]

Braindead and the first Evil Dead, hell yeah. There's a whole subgenre: splatstick.

[Cruella T'Kill]

Is anyone else looking forward to the Walking Dead season premier tomorrow?

I didn't realize it was back already! I really enjoyed the first season, but thought the second moved sooooo slooowly. But with Michone, the prison and the Governor, I think season 3 with be a kicker!

Braindead and the first Evil Dead, hell yeah. There's a whole subgenre: splatstick.

I think Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness will be my Halloween marathon this year

I think foreign horror has been a treasure trove of goodies. Let the Right One In, Rec, Martyrs, Battle Royale, Inside, Ringu, Pontypool (hey, Canada is kind of foreign....)

I've seen all kinds of movies with all kinds of crazy. There is only one I wish I could unwatch.

A Serbian Film = Most disturbing movie ever

[andygates]

Dog Soldiers?

Werewolves and squaddies. Brilliant. There's not been much good in werewolfland since Underworld stole the show. I miss Ginger Snaps.

[Guest Snake McClain]

Anyone watched "Cabin in the Woods"?

This movie is so crazy...If someone asked me what happened and I told them they wouldn't believe me. They'd think I made it all up just to not give the movie away.

And I'm Totally pumped for season three of walking dead.

And what is this about Werewolf and squaddies? There are good were wolf movies out there? I apparently miss them. I love werewolves.

[Guest Snake McClain]

also i sort of think this movie "sinister" looks good. thoughts?

[Artinum]

Dog Soldiers?

Yes, that one was good. The thing about the superglue is actually true - the stuff was developed for gluing up injured Vietnam troops. Which is why it glues your fingers together so effectively...

also i sort of think this movie "sinister" looks good. thoughts?

Two weekends running we've not been to see it. Last weekend I was too ill. This weekend my partner is!

On the subject of modern horror, has anyone here seen "The Ruins"?

i have not seen the ruin...i don't think. who's in it? (goes to imdb)...nope. not seen it.

[maegs]

I didn't realize it was back already! I really enjoyed the first season' date=' but thought the second moved sooooo slooowly. But with Michone, the prison and the Governor, I think season 3 with be a kicker![/quote']

It starts tonight! 9-11pm EST

ITA about Season 2, it was sooo slooow compared to Season 1! The promos for Season 3, combined with what I've heard about Woodbury/the prison storylines in the comics really have my hopes up for Season 3 - it looks like it'll be intense!

Dog Soldiers?

I have this on my computer, haven't gotten around to watching it yet. Maybe I'll watch it this afternoon before TWD

[Solomon G]

Long time lurker, first time poster here!

I'm not a fan of horror with the exception of The Walking Dead - absolutely cannot miss an episode. So looking forward to the UK premiere on Friday night.

For some reason I can handle zombies but anything else that 'could happen' ie Saw, Hostel kind of films I just cannot watch.

[Cruella T'Kill]

I watched the Season 3 premier of Walking Dead last night. Duuuuuuude, so much zombie carnage! I have to remind myself that they likely used a third of their FX budget on this one episode, so can't expect to be seeing that every week. Still, I'm excited to see what they do with the characters this season since they are only loosely following the graphic novels. My only beef is with the zombie attack at the end. These guys have obviously been around the block, why aren't they double-tapping those motherf@#kers!?
