Hi,

I am a huge horror fan but seem to be struggling to find a good movie to watch. I've seen all of the classics and am now trying to work my way through later releases (which at times means watching some absolute rubbish).

Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated. I'm a huge fan of haunted house movies or paranormal films, if that helps!

Thanks in advance!!

Welcome to board, Nightmares! When you say "I've seen all of the classics and am now trying to work my way through later releases", approximately what date is the cut-off of 'seeing all the classics'? 1960? 2019?

Not a lot haunted house films, but tons of paranormal. The Conjuring, Ouija: Origin of Evil (2016), Dead Silence. Other nonparanormal: Vacancy, Hush.

Well I guess I mean all of the classics up to now really! I’ve seen all of those but vacancy, so I’ll give that a try! Thanks a lot!

Oh and in answer to your second question ‘what type of horror do you like’, I enjoy anything supernatural/paranormal!

I’ve just started watching a movie called ‘Saint Maud’. It’s looking good so far!

Hi Nightmares! We watched one not too long ago, The Dark and the Wicked. It was really good, and very creepy.

Also, if you haven't seen Hereditary, it's excellent.

There's a sci-fi flavoured thriller called Coherence. Not so much horror but a fun, compelling story. Normally I can't stand sci fi anything but I loved this one, you should check it out!

How could I forget Pumpkinhead? 80's horror with a gothic feel, that still holds up.

Wow, the screenname “Nightmares” wasn’t taken?

That is pretty surprising. ::big grin:: You didn't have to think so hard as to come up with Chronogirl after all.

Brain Dead (aka Dead Alive) by Peter Jackson.

CrawlSpace

Cube & Event Horizon if you're not against scifi-horror I suppose?

Microwave Massacre

The Blob

Jacobs Ladder

Creep (the 2004 one)

Motel Hell

The Signal (the 2007 one)

House of Wax (1953) and the original film it was based on "Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933), they're old, but effective.

Phantoms

The Collector (2009), or, for something completely different but also cool the more thriller like "The Collector" from 1965.
Unrelated films aside themes of being "trapped".

Check out the Phantasm films if you want...weird...

Ghost stuff...hm...

Lady in White?
The Frighteners (Peter Jackson again)
The Gift (2000)
Flatliners (the original...kinda "ghosts" of the past)

I'm kidding ya, I like to be a dick. Sounds like you liked Nightmares, so you could have just taken that, whereas chronogrl took more unnecessary effort <--- that's my joke. ::big grin::

I'll take a wild guess and say you're a fan of the film Cronos (1993), and slapped 'grl' on the end of it, cause you're a lady. ::wink:: Am I right? I'm gonna guess no, but I want to hear how you came up with you HDC name. ::love::

Ohhhh... haha, you’re not a dick; I totally missed that. *facepalm* ::shocked::

I find it amusing when I tell people the origin of the screenname because typically they guess Chronotrigger (which now I need to actually dig up and play at some point)...

ChronoGrl was my first AIM name ever so I’m guessing I was, like, 17ish maybe? (Circa 1999)... My dad and I had season’s tickets to the local Major League Soccer Team, the New England Revolution... One of their best players was Teddy Chonopolis, who was also a total hottie, so I though: ChronoGirl... Well that was taken so I dropped the I... ChronoGrl!

LOL And now THAT was a needlessly long explanation for probably a disappointing answer. ::big grin::

LOL Wow! That's a great origin story! Wasn't what I was expecting at all. ::big grin::

Avatar, screen names has been a very long hobby of mine. Love em! It's interesting we tend to stick with the names we orginated a long time ago even when the original meaning flew over the coo-coos nest long ago. Like did you know Teddy Chronopolis was convicted of five counts of passing bad checks six years ago? And your still fronting his name? You should have went with NightmareGurl. OK, I made that up, it's not true. Am I a dick now? ::big grin::

Come back and bring V and the others too. I only check to see if this place is still alive on occasion. It's no where near as active when V made that game contest some years back.
