Title: Help me setup this year's Halloween Feder-Film-Fest Roster
Post by: The Fake Shemp on October 25, 2008, 10:51:26 AM
I'm moving away from last year's lineup of indie horror flicks and thrillers to something more fun this year.

I'm not sure what the roster should be, but I want stuff that you can drink beer and laugh to - like Fright Night and House.

[REC] and The Descent are EXACTLY the type of movies I'm looking to avoid, dude.

Please read the topic, guys.  I'm not looking for horror recommendations, but specific horror recommendations.

From Dusk Till Dawn

Such an awesome movie to expose to people who don't know anything about it.  :lol

Resident Evil: Apocalypse is the right kind of ridiculously bad horror film.  Its got some decent one liners and an ethos that sacrifices anything that could be considered logical at the expense of being cool.

 :punch "Fuck you logic, here's the Nemesis creature in a kung-fu fight".  :gun

I'm not looking for BAD horror films either.  I'm looking for cheesy, fun horror films in the vein of stuff like Fright Night and American Werewolf in London.

There's a local theater playing Dario Argento's Deep Red tonight. I'm going there.

How the fuck can anyone be jealous of my seeing Deep Red?

Shit, 5/4 of that movie had NOTHING GOING ON. The only redeeming quality was the hecklers in the audience. They made me chuckle.

isn't deep red the edited version?

my argento preferences are for the gaillo films, which aren't horror, but rather mystery/thrillers.  I like Tenebrea the most of those, but Phenomena is good as well.

I just realized I've never seen Event horizon.  I always thought it was this, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115857/ , and I couldn't figure out why anyone would suggest it for a Halloween title.   :-[
