To have a good horror movie party, you need to work up to a climax. I had a firly succesful on a few months back...

To start, an older, not too scary but very enjoybable horror classic : Pit and the Pendulum. Followed up by the 1999 remake of House on Haunted Hill. After that, the oriiginal Dawn of the Dead, and to cap off the night, the original TCM

Not sure if thats what you're looking for, but it worked well for me:cool:

too much quiet dialogue for a party (depending on the average attention span of the guests) I'd go straight for Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back ..

The_Return

01-23-2005, 10:00 AM

Heres another idea for you [I could do a better job if you said how many movies you want]

Start with a nice horror/comedy, Id recomend Creepshow, as it does both horror and comedy very well. Follow it up with the very suspensful, but not too scary Mothman Prophecies. Next up, The Bone Snatcher would make a good, little known choice. And for your Climax, Dog Soldiers is my pick.

Hope that helps!

The_Return

01-23-2005, 10:02 AM

Ok, if you have Halloween in mind, try this:

Start out with the all time classic, Psycho. Followed by The Exorcist, then The Shining. Conclude your night with Halloween.

01-23-2005, 10:03 AM

Or you can just settle with "Salems lot" ´79 (the long version). That´s 4 hours spend right there...;) :cool:

urgeok

01-23-2005, 10:04 AM

too common .. try to get something more on the fringe .. make 'em piss their pants - or freak out ...

thats why dead alive is a good one .. or Evil Dead if they havent seen it ... keep the screen awash in blood :)

The_Return

01-23-2005, 10:04 AM

You could do a night of classic Slashers:

Open with the 1st Friday the 13th. Followed by it's inspiration, Halloween. Next up the 1st Nightmare on Elm Street, and finish with the brutal Hellraiser.

I like that line-up alot considering i have read the shining and never seen halloween

The_Return

01-23-2005, 10:08 AM

Taking from Urge's idea:

Start with Peter Jackson's The Frighteners. Follow with the 1st Evil Dead, then Bad Taste. Finishg the night with Dead Alive.

Katelan1089

01-23-2005, 10:09 AM

start of with the thing then dawn of the dead followed by the ring . then get one of your freinds who isnt at the party to give the house dodgy phone calls. after that chitty chitty bang bang should suffice

Dont mind me, Im just goona throw out ideas, because this is really fun:p

Ok, zombie type thing night:

Start with the comical Shaun of the Dead, Followed by the original Night of the Living Dead. Continue with 28 Days Later, and finish up with the original Dawn of the dead.

Katelan1089

01-23-2005, 10:21 AM

Hey zombie type things are cool. Oh and if its fun to you just keep posting them because if i decide to have another party later which im sure i will i can come back!

The_Return

01-23-2005, 10:23 AM

Heres one you'd enjoy, pranks included:

Start off with Motel Hell. Keep going with Night of the Living Dead, then either version of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Finish with wichever version of TCM you didnt already use.

When your guest leave, have someone waiting outside with a chainsaw. Works wonders:cool:

Katelan1089

01-23-2005, 10:25 AM

Oh that would be a good one!!!!

The_Return

01-23-2005, 10:27 AM

If you ever feel the need for a lighthearted horror related party, try this:

Start with everryones favorite, Ghostbusters. Follow along with The Frighteners and Creepshow. Close the night with either version of The Little Shop of Horrors.

Katelan1089

01-23-2005, 10:28 AM

this may be kinda frightening but i have honestly never seen ghostbusters

arron wardlaw

01-23-2005, 10:29 AM

yeah braindead and bad taste are good shit. looking forward to king kong. original is my all time fave. when it comes to pranks anything unusual but real is effective. breaking glass and the thought of intruders fucks up party goers ambience. an explodin telly would be a good climax

Why not a night of horror themed action movies sometime?

Commence with Van Helsing. Follow with Underworld, then The Mummy remake. Then on a much more horrorific note, close with Dog Soldiers.

Katelan1089

The_Return

01-23-2005, 10:37 AM

To broaden the tastes of yourself and your guests, why not try a horror through the ages night?

Start out with the Old time Silent movie, Nosferatu (1922). Keep going down the timeline to Night of the Living Dead (1969). Skip a few more years to Halloween (1979), or The Shining (Same year). Finish the night with one of todays best entrys in the genre, Id suggest Jeepers Creepers, Dog Soldiers, or The Bone Snatcher.

A night of book based classics, anyone?

Psycho would be a good starter, followed by Silence of the Lambs. Finish with what are considered two of the scariest movies of all time, The Exorcist, then The Shining.

The_Return

01-23-2005, 10:50 AM

Hmm....How bout Sweet Revenge?

Start with Theatre of Blood, Followed by the very similar Abominable Dr. Phibes. Keep going with House on Haunted Hill ['99 version preferably], and finish with Dr. Phibes Rises Again!

Because Evil Dead is much more extreme the The Shining. I personally would rather watch it later at night. Not saying the Shining isnt an amazing movie though

Angra

01-23-2005, 12:40 PM

But make sure that it´s Evil Dead 2 and The shining with Jack Nicholson and not the new one. Those are far better.

But i would say Evil dead 2 before The shining. The shining is much more scary.

Well, Ive yet to see either, but from what I could gather, #2 is more of a remake than a sequel. I personally would rather watch the 1st one before the 2nd though

ClassicHorror

01-23-2005, 04:22 PM

2 isn't a remake.

This is what you should watch...

Hellraiser
Un Chien Andalou
Dead Alive
Re-Animator
Evil Dead (save the sequels for another time)

and top it off with............................

The Exorcist 3 (the only film that scared me!)

as you can see I started you off with some fleshy films so that you wouldn't get bored, and toped it off with something scary.

Start with Phantom of the Opera [Lon Cheney]. Contiinue with Pit and the Pendulum [Vincent Price], followed by either the 1931 Dracula w/ Bela Lugosi, or Horror of Dracula, with Christopher Lee. Finish with Kack "Heeeere's Johnny!" Nicholson in The Shining.

The sequel tones down the horror present in Evil Dead and substitutes farcical, but effective, scenes instead.

Id personally, to scare up the guests more, do it like so [Feel free to ignore me though;)]

Halloween or The Shining 1st, your choice, then whichever you didnt use second. Then Evil Dead, and finally TCM.

I just dont know if Evil Dead is a good choice to start out with....

It's a hardcore child porno in which a man kidnaps 3-8 year olds and rapes them for hours on their parents' beds. Then he takes all the rape-juices and makes the kids eat it. It's a pretty fucked up movie. It's got claymation, too.

Session 9 [While we're still awake and willing to think]
The Shining
The Abominable Dr. Phibes
The Fly
Dog Soldiers

I dont know about The Shining, my friends arent to interested. But they love the sounds of the rest of 'em!

Yep [God I love IMDb]

Im doing this kind of thing again tomorrow night... no real theme to it, just a bunch of kickass horror movies. Im trying to see if I can stay up the whole night [Surprisingly enough, Ive never tried before], so weather my friends are asleep or not, Ill keep watching more. But heres the lineup so far:

Session 9
Te Abominable Dr. Phibes
The Fly [1986]
The remake of TCM

Then after that, we'll just watch whatever comes to mind [Id like to put on Dog Soldiers, mabey. Or Creepshow]

Yes, yes I do:p

I like bumping this every few months, it's a fun thread.

Im doing this again tonight, but Im not sure what we'll be watching. Definatly the original Hills Have Eyes...maybe Dagon, or The Thing...Im really not sure, we'll probably just wing it.

I love Pit and the Pendulum, followed by the original The Hills Have Eyes (I thought it was scarier than the remake) and then The Grudge. If you have time, as a "the party is starting to wind down a bit" movie, Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds has always been one of my favorites. Have fun!

Any of the Scream movies are perfect for parties. Fast paced and energetic, with some humor to keep it fun. or if you want actually scary movies i'd go with the original Halloween and Orig. NOES.

Heh, I dont own any of those:p

Been meaning to get Halloween, but I never remember. Scream was good, but I wouldnt buy it unless it was cheap. As for NOES, Im waiting for the boxset to go down in price.

Trivia time: Tippi Hedren (The Birds) was from New Ulm, Minnesota. She is the mother of Melanie Griffith. I will now change my Avatar to her for a short time. :)

I could tell you quite a bit about Tippi Hedren and/or ESPECIALLY Alfred Hitchcock. I've done extensive research on the latter, and I've learned a bit about Tippi in the meantime.

For starters, Tippi HATED Alfred Hitchcock.

P.S. I love your avatar. Great movie. And Tippi is gorgeous.

Hmmm sounds interesting, I'd love to hear more. PM me unless you think the whole board would enjoy the info.

I'll post here, just in case anyone else cares.

A basic summary of Tippi and Hitchcock's relationship was they absolutely hated eachother.

Hitchcock originally hired Tippi for himself, not to boost 'The Birds' or her career, which had just begun. As you may or may not know, Hitchcock was literally obssessed with the beautiful Grace Kelly, who had worked with him in 'To Catch A Thief', 'Dial "M" For Murder', and 'Rear Window'.

After Grace's third Hitchcock movie, 'Dial "M"', she left America for her husband, who was the prince Monaco, making her a princess.

Around a decade later, Hitchcock spotted Tippi, who was then a model. He immediately thought of his lost Grace; Tippi had a similar effect on him with her beauty. He immediately asked her if she'd like a contract with him (I believe a 7-year contract), and she accepted after thinking it over.

Well, long story-short, they began 'The Birds' and disagreed on everything. She didn't like the way Hitchcock treated his actors. He was very serious and did not guide any of his actors, thinking that they should be able to handle themselves (Hitchcock was notorious for saying "actors are cattle".) He also had a very twisted, and sometimes perverted sense of humor. She didn't like any of this. In a result, they argued, fought, and picked on eachother constantly. The trouble was, Tippi was on a contract with him.

Next, Tippi was in Hitchcock's "Marnie", playing the title charcater. They hated eachother so much by this time that it was rumored that they weren't even talking to eachother. (That rumor turned out to be bullshit, but it wasn't too far off).

Years later, Tippi's daughter, Melanie, told an interviewer:

"Hitchcock was a motherfucker. And you can quote me."

There ya' go, hope I didn't bore you!

The Abominable Dr. Phibes, another one I love. Vincent Price was so awesome, no one has/had a voice like his, and that look he did with his eyes. Delightfully creepy.
