Help needed: History of Horror
My local newspaper has asked me to submit a column for a Halloween issue that summarizes the history of the horror genre. I quickly need some requests from you all as to what titles I MUST mention (those that are most influential, or seem to embody the trends of the era in which they were created). Remember, this is a SUMMARY of the history, so I can only have the essential titles.
What do you think?

I was going to mention the cabinet, and I was going to also mention the original TCM in a paragraph about 70's horror, culminating in Halloween which launched the shit-ass mess of slasher films in the 80's (I won't use the words "shit-ass mess" though).

Any more ideas on international horror? Also, when you mention a title, it would help me out if you specify HOW that title is essential to the horror genre. Thanks for the quick replies! I knew I could count on you all.

Definetly mention Suspiria, for which it is one of Dario Argento's best. Zombie(79') would be another good one because it has some good gore scenes.
You could do a remake section with like The new Dawn of the Dead and Texas Chainsaw Or you could do a crappy movie section with Leprechaun:Back to the Hood or They.....or Darkness Falls........:mad:
