Help!
 

I'm new to Horror films, but can't get enough of them. Can any of you veterans tell me what films I MUST see?:confused:


(BTW, have any of you got that eemail message about a dead girl who's going to stab you when you sleep? Some sicko must be making money of that.:mad:)

i haven't seen that email. can you post it?

i posted this list of favorites to another thread.

Pre-1970:

-Black Sunday
-the Abominable Dr. Phibes
-(Karloff)Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, the Mummy
-(Lugosi) Dracula
-(Lee) Horror of Dracula
-Psycho
-Cat People
-Night of the Living Dead

Post-1970:

-Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
-The Shining
-Evil Dead
-Phantasm
-Exorcist
-Halloween
-Ringu
-Suspiria

Thanks, I can't send you the picture, beacause i deleted it - it was sick though. Disgusting how someone would take advantage of that - a story for true horror, I think.

Pick up Phil Hardy's Horror Film Encyclopedia. I picked up the first edition when I was 18 and it steered me towards all the right movies. Probably the most important book a horror newbie can own; not only will it let you know the best movies, but its overviews of each decade will give you a great understanding of the genre.

Along with what has already been listed, I'd also recommend Vampyr, I Walked With a Zombie, Psycho, The Black Cat (Karloff and Lugosi), The Wolf Man (simply the BEST monster movie of all time), House of Wax, Island of Lost Souls, The Fall of the House of Usher, Deranged, and Zombi. Weird indie stuff like Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things and Tombs of the Blind Dead can be lots of fun, too.

Cool. ta very much mictlan and Dr.Kelvinstein

w00ts to all, and to all a good w00t!

I recommend The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (1976)
