Halloween Horror Festival!!

[psychetool]

Ok, so one of my friends is throwing a 3 day halloween party/moviefest. She's taken care of all the tasty goodies, but now we are left with one major problem ~ WHICH MOVIES TO PICK ? We want ones that will really scare your pants off, cool stuff that the 'horror buffs' could recommend would be much appreciated. So far I have been psyching myself up for this by watching other horror movies and have seen a few good ones, and a few not so good ones...

+ (good)
Wrong Turn - Especially freaky and cool. Gruesome special effects.
Hellraiser - Funny.
Saw - Fun twists, good ambiance.
The Shining - All around fucking cool.
Silence of the Lambs - Another favorite

- (bad)
I Know What You Did Last Summer - Amusing, but weak
Hellraiser 4 - Uh, NOOOOO.
Texas Chainsaw Massicure - Eh. So so. Definitly not good though.
Scream - Hehehheee, not the kind of horror we are looking for. Fun!

So, please, tell me some good horror movies to rent!!

have fun, this sounds like a great idea. i love horror films. when I was little, i would go to blockbuster with my mom and spend all my time in the horror section looking for the vids that had covers on them, cause they were too gory to show to the public :D that's the ones I wanted!!

 

[mariacallas]

lmao! Darthmom..i love you.....i have not come across one female on this site who loves horror movies as much as I do! When i was a kid my parents wanted me to see a shrink because i was watching horror movies alone, at 7 years old! que horror!
Also yes i was just tricking I LOVE HORROR B MOVIES!
Such as Happy Birthday to Me, et al. I havent seeen any of the movies psycho listed, but i will take your recommendation re: Last house on the left!
I also want to see this movie about a tooth fairy gone mad, i forgot the title tho..ill post it when I get the chance.

PS. in the Halloween spirit.....

 

[posner]

Suspiria's great. Also, The Vanishing (although it is more of a suspense movie). But you have to go with the French version, not the shitty American re-make.

In terms of gruesomeness, the Phantasm and Wishmaster movies are pretty nauseating.

 

[wizekrak]

The Fly
Poltergeist
The Thing (one of the best horror movies I've seen, a must see)

 

[DarthMom]

Poltergeist scared me so much when I was a child. Hell, I still wont let a clown sit at my bedside, and I am 30. (yeah, i know that happens all the time lol) That and the tree outside were very frightening.

 

[smotpoker]

The new House of Wax is actually pretty good.
Creepshow is decent
Night of the Living Dead ( the 1990 version ) I found to be very frightening.

Have fun!
