Dude, Highlander 2 is wicked scary. But not in a horror sense - more of a 'OMFG I CAN'T BELIEVE I WASTED MONEY!!! WAAAAAAAAAH!!!!' sense.

 

because whats scarier than wasting money?

Oh yes, you're right Ghostbusters should be up there for sure!

 

Highlander 2, Halloween material? Yeah right.

 

However, "Manos: The Hands of Fate" and other MST3Kified movies definately qualify (like the Screaming Skull!).

wha wha wha??? Peter Jackson mad the movie Bad Taste??? lol even though i thought it ruled he sure did pull a complete 180 turn on his films.

 

you want something even worse try Blood Sucking Freaks.

 

you want some gore try From Beyond or Re-Animator <ducks for cover>

Peter Jackson's specialty as a young man was over the top movies like that. You should check out his others... which I can't remember the names too right now... They're a hoot!. :)

 

 

Check out Frighteners too. It was his first Hollywood movie and it stars MJ Fox.

Braindead, and it is brilliant.

 

 

the bit where he crashes the zombie "party" at his house with a lawnmower is the best ever

Yeah, I remember this scene to be like 1 minute in the cut version and like 15 hours in the uncut.

HA!! I didn't hafta spend a DIME on tires!

 

 

I could have spent over $200 on so many more wonderfull things than four pieces of lousy black rubber...

 

It's a horror and a tradgedy.

meh i watched the first 30 minutes of Eraserhead at a bros house he loaned it to me 2 weeks ago... i still havent watched the rest... i think the first 30 minutes was enough for me. Ill take Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, or Twin Peaks instead...

... watch it late at night (like at 1 or 2 at night) with all the lights out by yourself...

 

I don't think they recommend watching TV in the dark, with all lights out...

 

Oh, maybe I missed the point...

ive been watching a lot of amc and bravo since friday since they were doing some kind of horror marathon. they showed a bunch of nightmare on elm streets and friday the 13ths, which i hadnt really seen before, or if i did i dont remember.

 

after watching my fill, just for the heck of it i rented Freddy vs Jason, which was 'meh' but fun to see them duke it out. I always liked Freddy more than Jason. Jason was kinda dull and had no personality.

hrm, heres a few i like but havent seen mentioned...

 

The Howling - good werewolf flick, matches american werewolf in london for transformation imho

Last House on the Left - craven

In The Mouth of Madness - great overlooked carpenter flick imho

Castle Freak - jeffery combs and stuart gordon reunite outside of re-animator series:)

Session 9 - great overlooked horror/thriller

Dagon - mix of two lovecraft stories from stuart gordon again. It was made outside the US, but has a Combs look alike, i guess they couldnt get him for it. This is about the only movie I have ever cringed at the gore on. I cant say what, because it might ruin it for anyone watching :)

 

most of these arnt for kids or the weak stomached, i love them :)

Nosferatu.

 

Never seen it, but it looks damn creepy. :p

 

(previously mentioned by Chase)

 

If you can, try to snag the copy that has the Type O' Negative soundtrack. I got that one, and it ads to the effect in a good way.

Has anyone said Alien? I mean, if your a sci-fi horror person, Alien, and the sequal, Aliens, is really creepy.

 

the other 2 movies suck though. Ressurection was more action flickey, and 3 was like.... wtf?
