The Fly (1986)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

[God of War]

David Cronenberg's The Fly. How the hell did I forget that classic. Plus the Sequel was pretty gruesome as well.

ALL ORIGINAL VERSIONS PLEASE!
Psycho
Halloween
Friday the 13th
I Spit On Your Grave
When A Stranger Calls
Silence Of The Lambs
The Stepfather
High Tension

(i dunno' why, but "The Blair Witch".. still scares the living hell out of me and yet i laugh throughout "The Exorcist" start to finish! 2006's "When A Stranger Calls" remake was totally uncalled for!)

Anything from the 60's, 70's or 80's:

PSYCHO
BLACK CHRISTMAS
HALLOWEEN
WHEN A STRANGER CALLS (1979)

ALICE, SWEET ALICE
TERROR TRAIN
THE FOG (1980)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME
HELL NIGHT
MY BLOODY VALENTINE

I assume you were talking about the slasher subgenre...if not, here are a few others:

THE INNOCENTS
ROSEMARY'S BABY
THE OMEN (1976)
CARRIE (1976)
DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK (TV Movie)
DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW (TV movie)
SALEM'S LOT (1979-TV Miniseries)

[yorrick brown]

the funhouse is that the one with the killer clowns ?.



THE INNOCENTS ,some reason that sounds really cool i might have to imdb some of these movies.

but chances are i might have to go to the only store in down that still does videos to find some of these

I think you're referring to my all time favourite movie CLOWNHOUSE. The film features a young boy who is scared of clowns. He is left at home with his two older brothers when they become terrorized by three mental patients who have escaped the local asylum and dressed up as clowns.

Either that or KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE, an inferior film in every sense of the word. :)

[yorrick brown]

clownhouse thats it.

i`m sure thats the one scream rips off with the body hanging in the tree or not.

[mrdeeds]

The Sender - 1982, a good suspense mindbending movie
Deadly Blessing - an early Craven forgotten gem

i LOVE that film!
while it does slow down a bit in the middle,
the beginning and end well make up for the
little lag in between.

[Kings-Rook1]

Shivers (1975) - Cronenberg gem

Humanoids from the Deep (1980) - Mutant half fish rapists attack a village! Super Cheesy

Bad Taste (1987) – Aliens hunt down humans to serve as food at their fast food restaurants! Low budget splatter feast by Peter Jackson!

well.. "I Spit on Your Grave" is filled with literal gang-rapes and i added that one.

[Kings-Rook1]

Wes Craven's Last House on the Left (1972) is along the same lines as I Spit. I wouldn't really call these horror flicks more like trashy sexplotation thrillers.

You should go to your local Video store and just pick up Evil Dead (1981) and Evil Dead II (1987). They have been mentioned before and with good reason.

[yorrick brown]

i spit on your grave,wow intense.eek



is gremlins a horror or a family movie.i loved it as a kid then they had it on last week,wow gory lol

the fact i was 10 or 11 when i was shown "I Spit On Your Grave" PROBABLY is why i mentioned it on my list! it was old as hell then too! but THAT'S enough to terrify ANY kid for life! i blame the cool babysitter!

[Kings-Rook1]

I Spit and Last House are definitely horrific, and they are generally categorized as Horror so they are excellent "old school" suggestions to yorrick’s topic. Personally though I have never really though of them as such.

Ok I saw this film listed and I've heard of it before. My problem is I desperately want to see and I can't find it anywhere. Where in the name of God can I find this film?
