Dream Triple Bill

[Repo'd]

So, I was conversing with some friends about what three movies would make up our ultimate horror triple feature and I thought it would be fun to bring the question to you fine fiends.

Imagine you were given the role of program manager of a classic drive in movie theater for just ONE Saturday night. What three movies do you think would make for the best triple feature?

My choices are;

Tarantula 1955- I think a nice 50's era, giant bug flick is a great way to get the night started, and this one is my favorite.

Return oF The living Dead 1985- Scary, funny, gory, packed with great effects and full of Linnea Quigleyness. What horror audience wouldn't have a great time watching this on the big screen?

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974- It's my all time favorite film and it's a perfect fit for the midnight slot. Nothing could make me happier than seeing Leatherface and the rest of the clan, cutting it up at the drive-in. How intense will those last 20 minutes be on a forty foot screen?! I'm kind of guessing at the size of a theater screen but hey, I'm winging it here!

So, that's what I came up with. How about you?

Horror of Dracula (of course)
Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man
Night of the Living Dead

The Howling
Suspiria

Werewolves, witches, zombies... how is this not the perfect list?

I was thinking a theme:
The Unnameable
Pumpkinhead
Basket Case

Holy crap, sign me up for ANY of those lineups!

This list would change every day but for today:

The Thing from Another World

Phantasm

Nekromantik
Singapore Sling
A Serbian Film

Hmmm, I've got too many in my head, one of the first three I thought of was

Man Bites Dog
Natural Born Killers
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer

[Repo'd]

Those last three posts are priceless. I'm a fan of all of the movies you chose, and would LOVE to be a part of those audiences!

The Exorcist: Director's Cut
Rosemary's Baby (original)
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

[Sculpt]

Hmm... really brings up the question...


What type of movie, or aspects of films, would be better at a drive-in compared to a regular big 70mm in-door movie screen?

Most people went to a drive-in to get smoochy with their dates. For that, I guess scary, but not repulsive. ::wink::

Otherwise, might be a group of friends in a big convertible or reclining on the car, enjoying some silliness -- Return of the Living Dead, Ghostbusters, Shaun of the Dead or Young Frankenstein might be good for that.
