I fucking hated it. Nice to meet you...but then again, I hated ginger snaps even MORE...maybe he werewolf thing just doesn't appeal to me...although I DID like some of the howling, and american werewolf...maybe the werewolf thing is just dead, and anyone who actually likes these films is just desperately hoping that another GOOD one will come out one of these days...

Oh, and as for the topic...I'd rather NONE than narrowing it down to ONE, but if I HAD TO, I'd probably go with Shaun of the dead.

I really need to rent that (Shaun of the Dead). I also have to agree about the werewolf thing...they don't appeal to me either. I'm not really sure why...hmm...well maybe I am ;) But anyway;)

Simon Pegg was one of the writters he was also the star supposedly he is going to have a cameo in the Land of the Dead (zombie, fitting) anyways he was on this show spaced, great humor, if you download television shows Im not sure where you could rent it.

Yeah, I've seen spaced...not only is he in it, he co wrote it with the same guy that did shaun of the dead. Very funny, quirky, random series.

That movie was like crack when i was 14. ive seen it more times than i can count (probably between 2-- and 300 by this point)

filmmaker2

06-03-2005, 10:10 AM

Well, this may seem a typical choice, but I think the film would probably be "Dawn of the Dead."

If that one wasn't available, then alternates would be "Horror Express" or maybe "Count Yorga, Vampire." Or possibly "Curse of the Demon" or "The Incredible Melting Man."

Halloween all the way for me. My alternets would include Day of the Dead and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

It's entertaining, and while it's somewhat cheesy, the effects were really good for its day. In fact, they still hold up pretty well.

The Ring. It still scares me and I find it very entertaining no matter how many times I watch it. I always feel like Im the only one on the forum who likes it though...

alternates would include Pet Sematary, original House on Haunted Hill, or Final Destination 1 or 2

I also like Pet Sematary alot...it's not so much that it scares me (well..except for that zelda charachter) but the atmosphere is very creepy. :)

The_Return

06-03-2005, 11:26 AM

My 1st chouce would be The Abominable Dr. Phibes, no question. Ive porobably seen it more than any other horror movie [Excluding the House on Haunted Hill remake, which would be another choice]. It's creepy, it's fun, it's Vincent Price!

Another possiblity for the same reasons would be Theatre of Blood.

Another would be Session 9. It would probably take me that long to figure the whole thing out...

I love Session 9. I have recommended that movie to everyone I know (which didn't work out so well for a friend that isn't much of a horror fan. She still hasn't forgiven me. ) That movie really played with my head the first time I saw it. Some really well-done, genuinely creepy moments.

Anyway, Evil Dead 2 would be my choice. It is all about Bruce, baby. :D

wait wait wait, is this on DVD? We get the DVD, or just the movie, no bonus stuff?

Just curious, either way I go with Shaun of the Dead. It's just so damned great (not top 100 great, but pretty close), but easy to watch, too.

I think if it had to be a horror movie, it would be Army of Darkness (even though it's not really a horror movie) b/c that's the one I've seen the most anyway.

but, if it could be any movie it would be either Nightmare Before Christmas or Ghostbusters.

this reminds me of that comic "Lobo" where Lobo has one song piped straight into his brain on a non-stop basis. I've always wondered what my song would be, if I were in that position.

An asbestos cleaning crew is hired to work in an old mental hospital. Weirdness and creepiness ensues. :D The ending is kind of abrupt, but very unusual and you are left with a "what just happened?" feeling.

thats what you get when the rarest of things happens - the same director does all of the films.

apparently there will be a 5 and although coscorelli will be involved he wont be directing.

there is talk of a bubba ho-tep sequal though ...

Dude, "Phantasm" kicks aaaahhhhhhhhssssss. The first one is a solid weirdo classic. Great summer popcorn horror fun. Uh, it's basically summer, you know (hint, hint). So watch it! If you don't like it, I'll give you a free........a free, uh........well, I won't give you anything, anything at all. But you'll like it.

"Phantasm" was a very small film, but it was influential, and really raised the bar on quirky. If you watch it and find yourself laughing at some odd detail, wondering if they meant it to be weird...well, they probably did.

Every day going to work, I used to drive by the dam in Irwindale where they filmed the shot of the...that big pile of rocks stretching off into the distance (not to give anything away). At some point during that job, I got the laserdisc and listened to the commentary, found out that they had filmed a scene at that dam, and said "Wow!"

The film is so weird I never bothered to wonder where the heck they made it, but it turns out it was largely here in Southern California...

Favorite line: "You gotta be shittin' me, man, that mother's STRONG!"

assuming this is just for horror movies and I'd be able to watch other genre of film then Halloween.....

on the other hand if you're talking about watching one movie forever that has to be horror then I'd go with Shaun of the Dead.
