Have you seen Patrick 2 - its a fucking insane sleaze bucket of a film.

Man I hated Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things. One of the top shitty zombie movies. Didn't quite beat out Curse Of The Screaming Dead but yeah what a pile of shit. Hard to believe it's the same director!

Just seen bits and pieces of Patrick 2 need to get round to watching it properly looks like a blast.

I've mentioned it about 10,000,000 times on here but Deranged (1974) is one I'd recommend.



Stage Fright (1987) is one that seems to have slipped most people by.



Alone In The Dark (1981)

Jack Sholder is one of the genre's best directors. Criminally underutilised. Great how this one had a stalker in a hockey mask before Friday The 13th :D



The Deadly Spawn (1983)

One of the best monster flicks. Fully of trashy goodness.



Trick Or Treat (1986)

This one is a lot of fun and perhaps the best rock n' roll themed horror flicks.



Patrick (1978)

Franklin wasn't quite as an effective Hitchcock protégé as De Palma but I dig this one.



Gotta throw some slashers in just because...

Blood Rage (1983)



The Mutilator (1985)



Nightmare (1981)

not seen alot of those films, i will be checking them out, trick or treat was a good movie.

Deranged is one of those films that almost always slips through the cracks for some reason. It's probably the best straightforward film about the Wisconsin ghoul, Ed Gein.
Looking over the other recommendations and the HDC Unsung list, I'd strongly back up:

The Devils
Tenebre
In The Mouth Of Madness
Dagon
Session 9
The Other
Sleepaway Camp
Society
The Brood
Ravenous
Possession
The Bird With The Crystal Plumage
Profondo Rosso
Picnic At Hanging Rock
The Vanishing

Goodness I still haven't seen Deranged, The Vanishing, The Mutilator or Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things so need to catch up with those.

On the subject of Trick Or Treat-my sister had the original VHS and it had some trailers on it including one for Dream Demon which I think starred Timothy Spall-has anyone seen it?-the original VHS has long been out of print.

I'll back up The Bird With The Crystal Plumage and Sleepaway Camp-should have included those on my list.
