Last saw TCM

Damn that's about my biggest fear right there. If I met someone who made one of my horror icons so legendary and they turned out to be a complete asshole... I think it'd break my heart. People expect that kind of behavior out of horror fans because of our ''morbid interests'', but it's just not the case. And when that kind of shit happens it makes us look bad. 8(

Dead of Night/Deathdream- 1974


I had forgotten how creepy this movie was.

Is that directed by Bob Clark? I've never seen it but it's been on my must watch list forever.

Yes Bob Clark, the same chap that directed Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things, which has been on my must watch list forever! Have you seen that one? I hear good things.

I haven't seen CSPWDT in about 20 years , but I remember it as a fun watch with some innovative ideas. My favorite Clark film is Black Christmas. That one has some genuinely unsettling moments.

I didn't know he made Black Christmas too. ::confused:: I always thought it was underrated.


I just watched The Lost Boys. I miss Corey Haim. ::sad::

Yeah. :( Fucking child molesters.

Watching The Martian Chronicles right now

MONKEY SHINES (1988). This seems to get little love or respect from the general public or even Romero fans, but I think it's quite good with some great (not gory) Savini FX and it's pretty suspenseful towards the end, even if a little trimming would have been judicious. ****

The Fifth Cord (1971)

Not exactly a Giallo but a good Italian murder-mystery thriller.

Frogs
I know the title alone will probably turn at least two of you away. Continue at your own risk. ::smile::
::SPOILER HEAVY:: (I don't know how to review so read my rambles while I watch it)

So many adorable frogs. I can't wait to see how they'll kill people.

*half an hour of movie in*

OOOOOOH MY GOD SOMEONE ELSE NEEDS TO DIE ALREADY. They found ONE body and it wasn't even a big deal. Didn't even look messed up. Could've fell and broke his neck for all anyone knows.

And there's so many frog shots. I'm starting to hear voices when we see them. They get about as much screen time as the actors without even saying a damn thing.

Attachment 17812

FINALLY! Our first kill. And it's dumb as fuck. The guy's leg randomly gets a hole in it, then for some reason is attacked by moss and tarantulas... And there was also a scorpion... Are those arachnids even IN the south? The guy's leg gets disabled yet he can't crush the creatures with his hands... I guess once you lose a leg you lose the ability to use your brain too.

Second guy goes via lizards. I keep random jars of poison in my greenhouse, don't you?

The third is giving me snakes on a plane flashbacks. ...This movie is about killer FROGS right? I mean they did only name the movie after them.

Fourth goes by gators. After he mud wrestles with them for a little bit that is. I'm convinced at this point that the frogs are the masterminds behind all this, and therefore the big finale. I hope they go for the stupid grandfather.

...I think the fifth was water snakes but the best is certainly the sixth via snapping turtle. That's what you get for being stupid enough to go in the water.

"Where are Mommy and Daddy?" Well kids let's just say you qualify to be a superhero now.

Funny how the treehugger was the only one smart enough to actually hit back when nature attacked. ::roll eyes::

Called the ending. I still say the frogs organized everything. Clever bastards. Otherwise their whole purpose of the film was to annoy their victims to death and hop menacingly.


If you want a dumb horror movie to watch for the 4th of July, go right ahead and stick in Frogs. Make sure to stick around for ALL the credits.

Frogs is a great movie!!

Well, it's a good movie.

Alright, I guess I'm saying it's not bad.

Ok, if your hanging out with your geeky friends and drinking, Frogs is fun to watch because you can scream at the telly and no one will complain about missing any dialogue.

So, like I was saying, Frogs is a great movie.

It'd make a great drinking party game. Take a shot every time someone dies from NOT a frog!

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD.

I was taking Frogs off my watch list on Netflix when I realize Sam Elliott was in this... what.

After googling I find out he's the main character.

THIS GUY

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...2ea0f59777.jpg

IS SAM ELLIOTT.

WHY WOULD HE EVER HIDE THAT BEAUTIFUL FACE WITH A MUSTACHE.

You watched it all the way through and you're...just...realizing...this? ::shocked::

::big grin::::big grin::

Shuddap he's hard to spot without the mustache! ::big grin::

But the skin tight jeans! The SKIN TIGHT JEANS!!!

::embarrassment::

Let's just say I didn't mind at all watching him walk awayyyyy

I'm definitely one of the two you were referring to not wanting to watch "Frogs". I've talked of my uber phobia of them a few times on the forum. Oddly enough, I do vaguely remember watching it, lol. It was good but did make me feel nauseous for days after.

Saturday the 14th
 

OMG.....this is much worse than I remember!! LOL

I found it on YouTube and I thought....why not ::big grin::

You were indeed. ^^;
And another member who I think had a shiny ball or a shower head as their avatar? (I'm shit with names)
Good thing you didn't see the frogs do any actual killing. I imagine it would've scared you for life!

THE BOOGENS (1981). Silly but quite enjoyable little flick that reminded me of a 50's monster flick with more blood and sexuality. Worth checking out and Rebecca Balding is adorable in here (she was pretty good in SILENT SCREAM too)

Heyyyy, I forgot Rebecca Balding is in that! I'll have to give it a look soon. It's literally been decades since I've seen The Boogens. And yeah, she's a highlight in Silent Scream, along with Barbara Steele and Yvonne Decarlo, both of whom I've loved from afar for eons. ::love::

::sad::

JAWS


In the pool

I'm watching The Hills Have Eyes

THE PROWLER (1981). Not the best slasher movie, but better than you would expect with superlative Savini FX and Cape May NJ scenery. ***

Deadly Blessing,1981. 6/10

Shocker, 1989. 8/10

The Hills Have Eyes

Hillbilly cannibals make the pain go away. ...Well as long as you're not in the movie.

Eaten Alive (1977)

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...liveposter.jpg

Directer Tobe Hooper's follow up to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre where the proprietor of a creepy hotel murders people and feeds them to his pet crocodile that he keeps in the swamp beside his porch. The use of lighting, camera angles and eerie score all effectively enhance the atmosphere and there is lots of brutal gore throughout. Neville Brand gives a convincing performance as the disturbed hotel owner Judd and he's also pretty menacing brandishing that scythe. There's also an appearance from horror alum Robert Englund who I don't think I've ever seen so young. A classic that's definitely worth checking out.

This is a really gritty little film. I agree, it is a classic. Lots of great horror alumni (Brand, Englund, Carolyn Jones, Marilyn Burns, William Finley, Janus Blythe) and a bizarre plot that is very loosely based on a true case. One of Hooper's best!

Englund couldn't have been a day older than 22 when he did this role. A few theaters in Austin used to play this as a double feature with Texas Chainsaw back in the early 80's.

The Omen

Crawlspace- 1986

I first saw that about 4 years ago?
What an excellent movie it turned out to be.

At this time I was downloading a few 80's films I'd missed.
I remember seeing Microwave Massacre (hm...bit meh) and Motel Hell which I really enjoyed within the same week.

Crawlspace though, that would've been my personal favourite among them.

Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker, 1983. 8/10




I love this movie! Susan Tyrrell the ultimate psycho! RIP, you are an awesome actress.

I really liked Crawlspace! I thought it would be horrible from what people have told me, but it surprised me.

I like the title of this, definitely going on my list. Looks bloody too, always a good sign. ::cool::

Texas Chainsaw Massacre, 1974. 10/10





This film is amazing! The atmosphere is just so perfect. A horror film in the purest form.
