Author Topic: Help me setup this year's Halloween Feder-Film-Fest Roster (Read 3346 times)

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.

The one movie that any horror list needs:

The Thing

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #3 on:** October 25, 2008, 01:09:24 PM »

[Rec]
The Descent

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #4 on:** October 25, 2008, 03:10:39 PM »

[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.

Troll 2? Isn't that the considered the epitome of what you're describing?

From Dusk Till Dawn

From Dusk Till Dawn

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

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.

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

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #11 on:** October 25, 2008, 05:12:16 PM »

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.

Straw Dogs.
and Trick or Treat is awesome. You've seen it, right Will?

Jealous total.

check out Dog Soldiers. Its the best damn cockney werewolf-and-soldiers movie ever made.

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.

Eric P · « **Reply #20 on:** October 27, 2008, 07:33:48 PM »

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.

Event Horizon

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #22 on:** October 27, 2008, 07:49:22 PM »

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.

Event Horizon is awesome. Go rent it.

I just put it on the torrenter.

I could never understand why people liked that chain reaction movie so much

I'm taking the day off tomorrow to watch Event Horizon.
