Evil Dead Trap (1988)

Liked it a lot. Japanese giallo with some creative kills and traps. Kinda goes off the rails towards the end, but I still liked it.

8/10

I think you will dig the sequel as well.

[The Bloofer Lady]

TERROR TRAIN 1980

Something I've been meaning to watch for awhile and I'm glad I finally did. A group of students celebrate New Year's eve on an train but a party crasher is intent upon revenge for a cruel prank played years ago.

[Giganticface]

I think you will dig the sequel as well.

Good to know!

TERROR TRAIN 1980

Something I've been meaning to watch for awhile and I'm glad I finally did.

That's been on my watchlist for a long time too, and still haven't seen it.

The Gore Gore Girls (1972)

Finally saw it. Eh. Herschel Gordon Lewis, it is what it is. Like Blood Feast, the "mystery" is so uninteresting, but at least the humor is a little better, the music and 70s vibe is great, and the gore is amusing. A good entry in the history of splatter, but doesn't hold up too well overall.

6/10

[The Bloofer Lady]

That's been on my watchlist for a long time too, and still haven't seen it.




I don't know why I took so long to watch it (Terror Train). I like Jamie Lee Curtis and am now going to check her out in "Prom Night", another one I've missed for no apparent reason!

[The Bloofer Lady]

PROM NIGHT 1981

A little girl's death is avenged big time on prom night. Bit of a dud. I mean its typical 80's but found it average.


PHENOMENA 1985 AKA CREEPERS

Wow! Odd little movie with lovely visuals and an awesome soundtrack. A young girl attends a boarding school in Sweden and helps to solve gruesome murders with her telepathic skills. She is able to talk to insects.

[Ferox13]

House II: The Second Story (1987)

This seems to get a lot of hate but I enjoyed this silly, very 80's Horror Comedy - watch out for an a brief showing by Kane Hodder. Next up House III (my fave of the series).

Really? It gets hate? But its so much fucking fun. House III, christ...its been so long I can't even remember what happened. I need to rewatch it.

[TheBossInTheWall]

House IV is really House II. Forgot about that. Anyway, going to enjoy both.

The Screaming Woman (1972)

Cool little TV movie from the 70's - The Screaming Woman. It's pretty short, like a long Twilight Zone episode about a woman (Olivia de Havilland) with dementia who is trying to convince people she has found (a barely alive) Buried body.I think there's an episode of Ray Bradbury Theater with the same title. Drew Barrymore is in it, if I'm not mistaken.

[Amalthea_unicorn]

Amalthea, my day goes out to you. Was at a friend's house most of the day, we were planning to have a Disney movie marathon...turns out we only watched 4 movies, and turns out 2 of 'em werent even Disney, and we didn't finish the 4th...but oh well! Great animated flicks that I hadn't seen in years!

That's right Damn. I was trying to remember that too. Drew was a little girl then and I think her neighbor had tried to kill his wife or something?

[anglewitch]

That's right Damn. I was trying to remember that too. Drew was a little girl then and I think her neighbor had tried to kill his wife or something?

Damn that sounds so familiar.

[Amalthea_unicorn]

The Sword in the Stone

According to my dear ol' dad, this is the very first movie I ever watched, and what a great introduction to the world of film it was! I enjoyed this as much today as ever, in fact I even recall laughing out loud fairly often...mostly at Archimedes the Owl, he was a hoot! [Pun intended]. Even after all these years, I could still sing along to many of the songs:D


8.5/10

What's up with the kiddie movies The Return?

[Sculpt]

fGodzilla 1985
6/10

Surprisingly, I never saw this film before. This movie was a joint USA/Japan production including some US partswith Raymond Burr, with 90% Japanese parts.

It was really interesting... obviously had a good budget, decent 'old movie giant monster SfX'. Although I wish they would have taken the Godzilla suit to next top level, but it doesn't quite make it. The lips quiver a bit, and they can show inside his mouth, but it's basically the same 1956 technology.

The eyes on Godzilla are really the downfall as they don't look real. Don't really like this version of the suit. The '56 suit of Godzilla was thoroughly scary, but that suit was sent to the US and lost.

Godzilla 1985 is an 80s movie - including the rivalry between the US and the Soviet Union - who shoot a nuclear missile from space at Japan/Godzilla.

This film plays out as a disaster film, basically a remake of the original, & plenty of Dr Pepper soda placement advertisements.

[FryeDwight]

PIRAHNA (1978). While obviously a variation on JAWS, this becomes a quite good little film on its own merits. Great cast and early Rob Bottin FX. ***

[FryeDwight]

PHASE IV (1974). Lanquid but interesting film dealing with super intelligent ants-a "Sci-Ants fiction" film if you will (showing my old FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND past). Amazing photography and a general sense of unease pervades throughout. ***1/2

CANNIBAL APOCALYPSE (1980)-Also known as INVASION OF THE FLESH HUNTERS and CANNIBALS IN THE STREETS.Pretty cheesy story of Vietnam Vets who have the urge to munch on human flesh now and again, but I really like this. Enough sleaze, gore and decent acting (especially by John Saxon) make me want to pop in the DVD every few months. ***

[Jason X]

Back to the Future 1,2,Batman (1989),Terminator,Star Wars Episode V,Raider of the Lost Ark.
Still very cool movies.

[Damn Heathen]

Rollercoaster -- 6/10; Would pair well with Final Destination 3.

[Damn Heathen]

The Unholy -- 6.5/10; Anti-Christian weirdness abounds. The climax features the most awkward monster scene of all time. Kudos for that.

[DeadbeatAtDawn]

Blood Mania, 1970. 7/10


http://i.ytimg.com/vi/z-OHGyNfHKI/hqdefault.jpg

[FryeDwight]

DAWN OF THE DEAD (1978). Loved NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and when this came to the Chicago area around April 1979, tried five different theatres, but no one under 18 was allowed and even checking ID's. Back in those days, if you missed a film, it was just hard luck. It might come back around or get on TV butchered for commercials.
A couple of years later, saw it was playing nearby and after getting out of work a little early and hauling ass to the theatre, finally got to see it. Astounded at its audacity and over the top nature and started hitting the Midnight movies with different people frequently.
30 plus years later, still think it's an awesome film that works so well. For a raving zombie geek like myself, the Anchor Bay Four Pack is the only way to go. *****

[Amalthea_unicorn]

Finally she saw a horror movie!!:D

GROUP HUG TIME!

[TheBossInTheWall]

House IV. Bad. 4/10. I even vaguely remember as a kid being unimpressed with it. Very little theme is used from the previous films. Very little happens. Very little monsters.

[Amalthea_unicorn]

Am I going to see you on "To Catch A Predator" one day?

Am I going to see you on "To Catch A Chainsaw Massacre" one day?

[Damn Heathen]

The Uncanny -- 7/10; How could any horror fan not enjoy watching Donald Pleasance chase after a cat, with a halberd?

[Damn Heathen]

The Silent Scream -- 5/10; This anti-abortion propaganda had its share of horror highlights.

[Amalthea_unicorn]

The Chilling -- 7/10; Has a nice ROTLD vibe.

[Damn Heathen]

Grotesque -- 3.5/10

[Damn Heathen]

Edge of the Axe -- 6/10; This deserves a proper disc release. Christ, it's been long enough, and the demand is there.

[Damn Heathen]

The Spell -- 2.5/10; Carrie ultra-lite.

[Damn Heathen]

Hide and Go Shriek -- 3.5/10; A tepid slasher with a couple memorable kills.

[TheBossInTheWall]

The Horror Show aka House III(nothing to do with the house series though).

Slow, boring, etc. Not much happens. Pass.

[Damn Heathen]

Transylvania Twist -- 6/10; All the 80s horror icons take it on the chin.

[Damn Heathen]

Out of the Dark -- 7/10; Wish it had a better ending. Still, worth a look.

[Damn Heathen]

Satan Be Thy Name -- 6.5/10; The hilariously bad poster does no justice to this above-average slice of Satanic mumbo jumbo.

The Driller Killer (1979) 7/10 - always a fun watch

Slumber Party Massacre (1982) 8.5/10 - this one holds a dear placeinmy my heart for one of the first horrors I ever watched, I always give it a rewatch when I feel like it.

[Damn Heathen]

F13 7 -- 7/10

[FryeDwight]

THE SEVERED ARM (1973). While living in Chicago, my brother and I caught this mean spirited flick several times, enjoying the audaciousness of it and how the characters procrastinate so much trying to get out of the deep shit they're in. And you have to love the Motel 6 interiors they used. A true guilty pleasure. ***

[The Bloofer Lady]

ETERNAL EVIL AKA THE BLUE MAN 1985

Wow. Found this to be a little treat. Karen Black with those sumptuous cross-eyed Siamese cat eyes.

An eerie tale of astral projection used to destroy the life of an ad exec and his young family.

[The Bloofer Lady]

DEMONS 1985

Random people are offered free tickets to a movie at an old movie theatre. The film is about demons being awakened. But the demons aren't just on the big screen!

Dario Argento always comes through with the soundtracks.

Sapphic Evil -- 6.5/10; I expected more nudity.

[The Bloofer Lady]

DEMONS 2 1986

Had all my favorite elements. This time the demons have invaded an apartment building.

[Damn Heathen]

Don't Look in the Basement -- 1.5/10; Dull. The end credits place the actors' names on pics of their dead characters. More movies should do that.

[The Bloofer Lady]

ZOMBIE 4 AFTER DEATH 1989

Italian zombie/voodoo flick. A young woman unwittingly returns to an island where years ago her parents were slaughtered by zombies.

My kind of fun.

[The Bloofer Lady]

ZOMBIE FLESH EATERS AKA ZOMBIES 2 1979

This just rocked for me. I love this type of film.

4 people shore up on a mysterious island due to boat trouble. They meet a doctor who is single-handedly fighting a zombie epidemic.

[Ferox13]

http://mla-s2-p.mlstatic.com/rolling-vengeance-un-arma-mortal-1987-accion-retro-13652-MLA76561987_3317-O.jpg
Easily top 10 in the 80's Grindhouse Monstertruck Revenge genre.
Ned Beaty's hair in this deserved it's own sequel.

[cheebacheeba]

NOES 1 BluRay.
Showed a friend for the first time, he's 34 like me, and had never seen it...for an 80's kid, very sad lack of horror exposure at all - almost everything I've mentioned, he's never seen. He enjoyed it. Who wouldn't?
Great movie, still one of, if not THE best in the series.
Hadn't seen it for some time myself, so it had that time induced freshness to it as well. He really was pretty sinister in the first couple eh...

Next up we'll either go through the series with him, or maybe The Evil Dead.

White Dog (1982)

http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p433/sanjidparvez/WDog_zpssmhewgi3.jpg

Not only it was a brave & clear statement about & against racism but I found the WHITE DOG as a metaphor of our preconceived mind & trained hatred against so many other issues that's still troubling the world today. The ending was a real heart-breaker and not because of how it ends or what happens to that poor, cruel dog but because of how it depicts the harsh side of the reality.

I love horror/mystery storis like this one, but the VHS version on Youtube was so damn dark that I had a hard time telling what was going on lots of times in the movie and it also made me fall asleep several times.

GOOD AGAINST EVIL 1977


Made for tv movie about a young man who falls in love with a young woman being groomed to bear Satan's child. Of course neither of them know this but the woman has an inkling due to her unusual childhood.
There's an "exorcism" scene but the sound effects were mostly monkeys, elephants and lions. And the priest almost gets..pillowed to death.
Nothing too taxing.

THE SLAYER 1982

This was great fun for me. Two couples vacationing on a barely inhabited island fall prey to the stuff of nightmares. This is the second movie, the first being "The Boneyard", that Deadbeat and Gears have led me to. Loved both.

Where did you find them to watch?

[The Bloofer Lady]

i knew there was something strange about Frankie! It's his party!

does he sing at all?

No he doesn't sing but he plays a wooden whistle. There is one scene where he is strangling a girl and he is disturbingly realistic.

Where did you find them to watch?

I found them both on YouTube. I don't know how to post the links. The Boneyard wasn't hard to find but the full Slayer was. You have to type in "The Slayer 1982 uncut".

NIGHT OF THE DEMON 1980 Not Night of the Demons


A professor and 5 students trek out to Bigfoot country to explain the cause of a number of gruesome deaths. Geez, a motorcyclist who stops to urinate on the side of the road will be peeing through a straw now. Ouch!!!! He didn't make it anyway. There's plenty of backwoods drama they stumble upon as well as one pissed-off Bigfoot.

I really enjoyed it.

FLESHEATER a.k.a ZOMBIE NOSH 1988


Bill Hinzman who played the zombie in the cemetery in NOTLD helmed this little gem. Its awful and I almost didn't finish it but sometimes these movies have a charm of their own. You'll recognize Hinzman right away.

A farmer removing old tree stumps from his property unearths an imprisoned zombie on Halloween night.

PRINCE OF DARKNESS (1987). While I don't think this is as bad as a lot of people say, still find it takes forever to get going and lots of unneeded characters. It's as interesting premise that could have been helped with a little pruning.
Still has some scary scenes, good musical score and some cool people in the cast. **1/2

From Beyond (1986)

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f2/Frombeyondposter.jpg

Stuart Gordon directs this wonderfully bizarre and disturbing adaptation of the H. P. Lovecraft short story. For the most part the specials effects makeups hold up very well (although some not as much as others) and there is a lot brutal gore throughout. I really like the use of color and lighting when The Resonator was turned on. Jeffrey Combs gives a solid albeit over-the-top performance as the protagonist. Ted Sorel is massively creepy as the film's villain and his transformation scenes are mind blowing. Barbara Crampton in a dominatrix outfit plus Ken Foree. I highly recommend checking this out.

It was fairly silly/bad. Angela Lansbury was fairly awful. However the transformation scene in the early part of the film was great. I mean it looks very fake by our standards, but it was great for back then(1984). I skimmed the last 20 minutes. You get to see a briefly naked Danielle Dax. Shrug. I'd just watch the transformation scene on youtube and skip the film.

Considering how nit picky I am about werewolves having more human characteristics rather than going full wolf, I actually enjoyed this film. Mostly cause the end tied it up with that life lesson that inspired the story of Little Red Riding Hood (of which the movie's loosely based on if I remember correctly). And if the transformation you're talking about is the one I have in mind, then I must agree that it was completely worth price of admission.

Poltergeist (1982)

I have a bit of a confession to make. I've never really sat down and put my entire attention towards the original Poltergeist. The last time I saw it was when I was much younger, and I had no clue what was going on. Anyway, Poltergeist is without a doubt one of the great 80's classics, not only in horror, but in all genres. I loved almost every second of it. It had some great scary scenes and an awesome score. The movie allowed its audience to really identify and sympathize with the Freelings because of all the character development, and that's what makes this movie stand out from all the other supernatural flicks of its time.

I really think it's not fair to compare the remake to the original because they're both completely different. The remake has more in common with Insidious and The Grudge than the original Poltergeist. It has that dark lighting and fluid cinematography that a lot of modern ghost flicks have, and it's a lot more jumpy than the original.

Fair enough. I feel like I really need to see the remake just to make my own comparison. But from what you say I already see one problem. We call it a remake, and yet it's nothing like the original. Shouldn't a remake pay homage to the original by staying faithful to it's story, characters, etc? But like I said I haven't seen it so I really can't say anything. When it comes out I'll look for it online and give it a watch.

THE CHILDREN (1980)-After FRIDAY, THE 13TH was such a big hit, it seemed there was a new horror flick or two every week-and I tried to see as many as I could. Saw this in the theater-with a Three Stooges short- and thought it was pretty bad and 35 years later, it's still pretty bad.
However, withe passing of age, I noticed some serious social no-nos in the story, noticed Rita Montone (the hooker who gets scalped in MANIAC) makes an appearance, Harry Manfredini scores the film (with what sounds like F13 leftovers) and the lead actress is Gale Garnett who had a big hit with "WE'll Sing In The Sunshine" back in the 60's! **

Black Christmas (1974)

This is the second movie today that I have no clue why I watched, but I'm really glad I did. I had heard of this movie before but never bothered to seek it out until now. Black Christmas is notable for being one of the earliest slasher movies. The film primarily takes place within a sorority house, and the girls living there are unaware that a killer is lurking in the attic, who continuously calls them during the night. I was very surprised by this one. I'm typically not a fan of slasher movies. They're hit-and-miss for me, and there's only a handful that I really enjoyed. Black Christmas is without a doubt one of the scariest slasher movies I've ever seen. The phone calls are beyond creepy. Each one was so memorably terrifying. The cinematography also amplifies the scare-factor in this movie because of the low lighting in a lot of the scenes as well as the shots from the killer's POV. This movie even had a ton of likable and unique characters that made you really feel for them when they were axed off, and one character, Mrs. Mac, added a ton of good humor to the film. Black Christmas is a must-watch if you want an insanely scary and memorable slasher film.

9/10

Glad you enjoyed Black Christmas, Horcrux. It really does deserve the "classic horror" designation.

Close Encounters Of The Third Kind

Still fascinates me.

That movie used to bore me as a kid. And I always got it confused with Independence Day (which was the other alien movie my dad is really fond of) so more reason not to watch it. But much more recently I decided to give it a try again when I sat in to watch some before work one day. I found myself really REALLY liking it. Great pacing, suspense, story, effects, just. Everything. I really have no complaints about it anymore to say the least. I'm glad I gave it another chance.

Black Christmas (1974)

This is the second movie today that I have no clue why I watched, but I'm really glad I did. I had heard of this movie before but never bothered to seek it out until now. Black Christmas is notable for being one of the earliest slasher movies. The film primarily takes place within a sorority house, and the girls living there are unaware that a killer is lurking in the attic, who continuously calls them during the night. I was very surprised by this one. I'm typically not a fan of slasher movies. They're hit-and-miss for me, and there's only a handful that I really enjoyed.

Glad you revisited this title, man! Good to know you have converted to the fan side. I think it's the most fully realized alien movie ever made, and I may be speaking as a fanboy, but I think it's as close to a perfect movie as Ive ever seen. I only say that about 4 other films, with Jaws being the first that comes to mind. For the record, the other movies I consider pretty much perfect are NOT Spielberg productions!!::roll eyes::

Well I don't know if I'm THAT much of a fan, but I would certainly watch it again! 8)
*checks list* I think with the exception of Jurassic Park, none of my favorites (which is my eyes are perfect, though hardly a film exists that I believe is truly ''perfect'') are a Spielberg. Although I do really like Jaws too.

Well Roi, your failure to devote yourself entirely to Close Encounters is unacceptable.::danger::

Hey, just watched that last night!

Pffft, throw a werewolf in it and you'll have my devotion.
(actually that would be terrible and not make any sense what so ever)

Maybe, but wouldnt it have been hilarious to see alien werewolves disembark from the spaceship at Devil's Tower?

I think I mentioned this to Roifollo, but there are alien werewolves in Moonbane by Al Sarrantonio.

If there was to be a spoof of Close Encounters, this must be included. ::big grin::

I don't believe you did in words, but when you mentioned the book and I looked it up I found out that there was. I'm quite interested in check it out yet as the dog beasts in Star Trek/Wars always intrigued me as well.

When A Stranger Calls (1979)

I finally decided to sit down and watch this "classic", and I have to say that I was half-terrified, half-disappointed. It's a movie where I loved only certain scenes, while other scenes were a labor to sit through. When A Stranger Calls is a 1979 thriller is about a babysitter who gets creepy phone calls during the night, and when the calls are traced by the police, it starts a deadly chain of events that haunt her for years. This film is infamous for the first 20 minutes, and that alone makes this movie watchable. The opening scene of When A Stranger Calls is agonizingly terrifying, especially watching it alone in the dark. It's without a doubt one of the best openings to a horror film I've ever seen. Up there with The Ring and Suspiria. However, after the first 20 minutes, the film takes a huge nose dive. I don't want to get into too much detail so that I can avoid spoilers, but I'll just say that it goes from a terrifying suspense film to an unfocused, dull cop revenge thriller. The sudden tonal shift is rather jarring, but I could have forgiven that had the film been much more tight and controlled. It seemed like an hour of filler. Fortunately, the last act of the movie returns to the suspense nature of the first act, and it becomes almost as thrilling as the start of the film. When A Stranger Calls is bookended by some of the scariest scenes in cinema, and that makes this film worth a watch. It's worth laboring through the middle 45 minutes.

Yes, if by "laboring" you mean "fastforwarding." Thanks for the tip horrorcrux. ::cool::

Yes, you could skip all of the middle section, and the movie would be 10 times better and still make complete sense.

I know it's the last seen but as I will be watching it only a few days away on Saturday I am talking about it now. Jaws!! Must be watched on the 4th of July! Usually I watch on the big screen at a local theater but all the annoying ppl ruined it last time so this year it's me and my fairly new 55" TV enjoying in quiet, dark bliss!!!! I feel excited like a child waiting for Santa Claus!!! Or like myself waiting for Halloween to get here and it arrives!!! EXCITED!

I love Jaws too. It's a must watch at least a few times every summer. A bunch of us went to see it last weekend for the 40th anniversary. Big screen, big crowd, big bucket of popcorn!!

I'm jealous! I would have loved to see it on the big screen again. I remember seeing it when it came out, and LOVED it!

I may have to interrupt the HP marathon to watch Jaws. :)
