horror movie marathon 2008 opinions
so next month i'll be having my annual horror movie marathon. i've been doing it now for four years, and it's always such a blast.
i posted my lineup last year, asking for suggestions, advice, and the like, and got some wonderful responses. so this year, i'm asking for the same. i need all my hdc brothers and sisters to give me any recommendations/opinions/etc. so here's the tentative list: 1. monster squad (1987) 2. the cabinet of dr. caligari (1920) 3. horror of dracula (1958) 4. onibaba (1964) 5. blood and black lace (1964) 6. i drink your blood (1970) 7. cat people (1942) 8. blood feast (1963) 9. the beyond (1981) i think maybe i should include at least one somewhat recent film, seeing as how the most recent one i have included so far came out in 1987. thanks in advance for your help!

Recent ones...maybe something from Burton? Sleepy Hollow and Sweeney Todd both fit the Halloween atmosphere, IMO.
The Mist? In the Mouth of Madness? (Not sure if that's recent enough for you though - 1995?) Event Horizon? (Same note as above though, but slightly more recent) Dagon? What about Silent Hill? One of the most atmospheric horror flicks of the decade, love that movie. As for just general suggestions, I very highly recommend that you look in to a copy of Dungeon of Harrow. I know I pimp that movie constantly around here, but it's PERFECT for Halloween, especially if you're watching it with friends. Plus, it's super cheap on Amazon ;) EDIT - I forgot about Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon! One of the best slasher flicks in many, many years and perfect for something like this.

O.k Guru, :rolleyes: How long is this marathon going to go for? Maybe I will have one myself. I'm Recommending Hatchet because I think you need a good slasher in there.

Maybe you could get Rod to send you a copy of Gaillo....
Now that would be a coup!

I would recommend Creep.
Very atmospheric, and creepy. Right up with the modern best in horror, and would be a nice addition to that line-up.

I'd recommend Slither for a more recent horror addition.
You need a little comedy in there, and this one delivers the goods, but not without its fair share of gore and shock. Feast would also do for the same reasons, but I prefer Slither myself.

For me, House of a Thousand Corpses screams Halloween.
