Depends on movie.
Evil dead with memorable Bruce Campbell or Shaun of the dead sure.
Alien, The shining, The thing, hilarious Dead don’t die, From Dusk Till Dawn, Grindhouse…

Love them!
I have some preferences that take some good ones down a peg and elevate mediocre movies that follow my “rules”.
Example: An American Werewolf in London lost points because the werewolf doesn’t walk on 2 legs (my werewolf rule).
The Howling on the other hand was an okay movie but the werewolf was perfect - many added points especially because it was a practical effect.
It’s been a tradition to watch at least 1 horror movie every night in October.
I remember that one, I agree, good flick!
The reviews do indicate that Cats is a horror-ific disaster of a movie. I watched the trailer, yup it looks pretty lame.
I actually got a copy, browsed through it, and yeah, it’s pretty scary.
I’m an essential employee and working overtime. I don’t have time to watch movies and thanks to you guys, I’m losing even more sleep now priorities!!!
Umm, you’re welcome?
Y’all fans of horror might like this shorty:
The Terminator Trailer - As a romance movie.
I like sci-fi horror movies. “Alien” was the most brilliant one I’d ever seen. “Aliens” was a good follow-up. They all sucked after that. “Prometheus” was OK, but I think it could’ve been much better. “The Thing” from the 1980’s was excellent. A lot of sci-fi horror movies since the proliferation of advanced CGI are often weakly or poorly written, with most of the effort going into intense gore & convincing CGI. For example, “Sunshine” had so much promise. Started out so well. Then went so wrong.
Yes, from true horror to Evil Dead 2 to robot holocaust…
Keeping up with the Kardashians. That’s a scary bunch.
Thank you! :+1:
The Shining of course.
Session 9 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0261983/ Takes place in the then abandoned Danvers State Hospital. The hospital is really the star of the show, like the Overlook Hotel is in The Shining. This movie got me into urban exploration. If you can't find it, torrent it. Only watch it at night.
Never enjoyed horror “monster” movies, for several reasons. First, most involve stupid plots with stupid characters doing dumb things. The monsters and villains are also mostly unlike anything in real life. There are exceptions, like the first few Aliens movies, that are at least more plausible in a science fiction, imaginary sort of action movie way.
In addition, most of the monsters are characters out of myth or peoples’ irrational fears. They don’t occur in real life, so they don’t interest me. That brings up another reason why I don’t have much interest in movies about imaginary monsters: there are enough real horrors and human monsters in the real world. I’m not entertained by them.
As for horror movies with more realistic villains of the human kind, I don’t enjoy those, either. My weekday work is devoted to investigating and prosecuting people who commit the worst atrocities against others. So, I don’t watch fictional accounts of such behavior for entertainment, as they aren’t entertaining to me. Movies like “Hostel” are very distasteful to me. I see them as easy ways to make money with no artistic value, from my point of view.
