American Psycho
Devils Rejects
Creepshow 1&2
Dawn Of The Dead 2004 (yes i said it!)
Any Hellraiser

Have seen all of those, except Creepshow 2 which I can't seem to find. Picked up part one for 0.99$ in a Walmart bin. I've seen Hellraiser 1 & 2, my 3rd DVD quit on me, and I haven't bothered with any of the other parts yet.

Creepshow 2 is worth seeing IMO, but it's nowhere near as good as the first.

It's not much of a marathon, but my mom (who loves blood, guts and gore as much as I do) and I had a mini-marathon of Hostel and High Tension. Both movies impressed the hell out of us, especially the effects in both. I hope that helps you out.

High Tension was good. I'd skip Hostel.


Back to the three you (joshaube) showed some interest for-

*Eraserhead- is very bizzarre, but definately worth a viewing. It should be the first in your marathon, so you can be alert when watching it.

*Dead Birds- SO much fun. Great scare flick, it'll make you jump, GREAT to watch with friends.

*Freaks- Nope, not a shockumentary. This was an actual horror fiction film directed by Tod Browning (Dracula ('31)). Very cool film. Extremely effective and creepy.

I've seen Hostel, thought it was so-so. Not at all what it was hyped up to be. It was way tame compared to what they made it out to be. I did like the general story in the second half, though. The first was shit, utter shit. Eli Roth might want to jerk off BEFORE writing a script, next time. It was certainly a move away from Cabin Fever, which is more my type of movie.

I loved High Tension, enough so that I look past all the script errors, of course. I've seen it a few times, in both languages. Always a great choice. Since that time I've been convincing friends to watch it, and most of them have. Even my parents found it quite good. Alex is definately an upcoming director in the genre.

Eraserhead is more of a character study, isn't it? Psychological, more then anything. That's what I've been assuming, anyways. I feel it would be more along the lines of a standalone watch, rather then a marathon, but it certainly does sound interesting, and I've been hearing a lot of praise for it. Actually, I haven't heard anything negative.

Dead Birds DVD is in my backpack right now. Friend brought it for me this morning, for the weekend. Plan on watching it tonight, if not tomorrow. I'm going to try and organize the films from mild ~ atmospheric fear. Looks rather good, but not sure what to think of the whole western theme, heh.

Freaks seems like an interesting watch, definately glad to see it was made with care and compassion. I haven't seen much of what the director has done, actually - any of it. :( I should get a hold of Dracula, I'm quite certain my vampire-obsessed friend has a copy. As for Freaks, is it availible anywhere? It seems like a rare type of film, and I'm certain it won't be availible for rent.

Trust me...Dracula is a real son of a bitch to get hold of....he never returns calls, he doesn't read his emails. It's not worth the effort I tell you.

I guess his secretary sucks.

Har har har:p

Oh, yah, it's on wide-release DVD format through Warner Brothers.

You could pick up a copy at a Best Buy/Circuit City for around $15.

You could probably find it at rental stores.

I couldn't find Freaks, unfourtunately... but I did pick up a few others. The "marathon" continues. Which films out of this list are worth the watch?

Mr. Hell
Basic Instinct
Evil Dead 2 (rewatch)
Return of the Living Dead
The Toybox
Venom
