Horror movies

Postby jeffbert » 18 years ago

I am in the process of watching a bunch of horror films, or should I say 'horror' films on Turner Classics. I was greatly disappointed by THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE; my memory of it was much more satisfying than the actual film. :( The living disembodied head just somehow was not nearly as funny as I thought. :D

You a fan of horror movies, Jeffbert? :cool: I'm sure cybotron will have a bunch of information for you.

I'm planning on going to the "8 films to die for" Horror festival. I went last year too, and I think I posted a thread about it somewhere... :unsure:

I just watched Phibes I; I think Vincent Price was one of the most entertaining if not the all-around best actor in the genre. But Lee & Cushing are close. I would place Karloff in an earlier generation of actors, but I like his films as much as any others. :p

Eyes w/o a Face had just a bit of gore, but other than that, I found it more of a drama than a horror.

TCM will show Voodoo Island, King of the Zombies, Revenge of the Zombies, and a few other 'horror films this Friday. Those are among the ones I will record, & I expect that both Witchfinder General (AKA The Conqueror Worm) & the original Night of the Living Dead should both be in my mailbox by now. :lol:

But these Zombie movies mentioned above are the mindless slave type zombies, rather than the cannibalistic 'zombies' that apparently originated in Night of the Living Dead. :d evil:

Aha... Now THIS is my Kind of Thread!

People that know me well know that i LOVE anything Horror Related. Why, my DVD Collection is practicly Made-Up of horror Films, Old and New. (not counting Anime and Comdady DVD's...) And, for those of you remembering the Comic That Zeo Posted, would realise that Horror has a LOT of Influence on what i work on...

My absolute Favorite horror films, however, tend to be Focused either on more Bizzare Cretures that are Completely made up by the writer, or case's where a Stereotyped Monster is Changed or Altered Slighty. 2 Cases in point are the Movies "IT", Adapted from Stephen King's Novel, and Dog Soldiers, witch makes werewolves seem slightly more Belivible... at least, to me.
