Hahahaha. Sci-Fi channel... oh I'm sorry SyFy (wtf?) is good for that.

But some are just plain bad - like any of the Return of the Living Dead films past no. 2.

Would you believe that I much prefer ROTLD 3 over 2?!? It bears repeat viewing, and has much more going on. ROTLD 2 was just grade z schlock IMO.

I haven't seen many zombie/war flicks. I'd like to find some good ol' Nazi zombie movies too.

Zombie Lake and Shock Waves are considered the essentials when it comes to Zombie Nazi movies.

I tend to prefer zombie movies and horror/comedy movies. I have been thinking about checking out the Hellraiser series soon though. Also, Alien deserves a definite mention in this topic.

There is a new essential.

ROTLD 3 was meh to me, the whole S&M zombie girlfriend angle irked me. I saw they did 4 and 5 and they went straight to SciFi so I passed.

But the original is sooo good, so many classic scenes/lines.

Also, I've recently been having the 'zombie debate' (ie what qualifies a zombie: virus, voodoo, raising from the dead) with some friends and I'm the only one who defends TRADITIONAL ZOMBIES. Everyone else disqualifies them

I like series like those of Freddy or Chucky. Jason, meh, not so much. The new Micheal Myers is basically just sad, and thats without comparing to the old Halloween movies, which I still need to watch.

Really? I keep hearing that Rob Zombie's Halloween films were pretty good for remakes/re-imaginings.

I didn't see the second one. I liked the first one.

Watch Versus. It combines prison escape with Sword-wielding zombie Yakuza leaders. Im sorry, how is that not awesome?

The first time I saw Versus, I was in awe.

I just saw a commercial for "Zombieland". Looks pretty good.

Favorite horror movie of all time is the original Halloween. Even though I know what is going to happen I still get tense and jumpy. Personally, I think that makes a great horror movie.

Somebody I know saw an advanced screening and sounded pretty damn disappointed.

Really? This suprises me as it looked pretty entertaining in the preview. Did they specify what was bad about it?

I haven't seen any horror film that's not predictable. Not that I'm complaining, the genre still manages to deliver despite that flaw. That and large amounts of cheese (the Evil Dead series for e.g, one of my favorites).

Watch "Jacobs Ladder." Its somewhere between a supernatural horror and a david lynch film. Something of a mindfuck.

Check out The Children if you like 80's b movies. It is classic and the music is done by Harry Manfredini !!!! So you get classic b movie with Friday the 13th score

Just picked up and watched a 1971 movie called Blood on Satan's Claw... a chick named Angel is a witch that leads a coven of children in a small medieval village and starts performing ritual murders and just causing general ruckus, and the town tries to figure out and destroy the source of the witchcraft.

It was pretty good. It had some genuinely eerie moments, like when members of Angel's coven tricking a girl into thinking they're playing a game when they're actually leading her off to be ritually raped and sacrificed before Satan at a ruined church.

I want to watch "Grotesque" at some point, just to put my stomach to the test.

It looks to fit somewhere between horror and a snuff film.

Damn, that was brutal. Speaking of gore, I enjoyed watching Autopsy.

Banned in the UK and Japan. Something about rating would carry a risk of the film causing mental harm to those who watched it

Well, I was laughing along to Terminator and Aliens by the age of six. It'd have to be pretty special to do any more damage to me

Kind of looks like Saw or Hostel. These movies with unrealistic plots and violence scenes usually put me into giggles, as fucked up as that sounds.

Hostel has more of a plot apparently

I really enjoyed Mirrors, it's the only horror that had me scared through the majority of the film.

I need a list of good horror movies that can probably be found in your local Blockbuster, please. I'm a n00b to the genre, so everything other than George A. Romero movies are pretty much unknown to me. =D

Nu-School

Saw
Descent
[REC]
Anti-Christ
1408


Old School

Braindead
The Thing
The Shining
Rosemary's Baby
The Exorcist


Asian School

The Host
The Eye
A Tale of Two Sisters
Audition
Ju-On

Depends what your after.

THANK YOUUUUU!

At this point, I'm really just looking for a foothold in the genre. I'll get picky once I refine my taste.

Well I'd start with the classics then. Probably should add Hellraiser, Scream and Halloween to that list as well. Once you get a handle on those, it kinda covers all the bases.

Henry ..Portrait Of A Serial Killer
Phantasm 1&2
The Howling

These are all classics

Seconding Henry. I can never watch Days of Thunder the same way again.
