Here are some of the films that I own but for some reason haven’t watched yet.
Tell me if you recommend any of these.

Feel free to put your own lists here with a brief reason why you haven’t seen it yet.

The Carpenter – My brother saw it and said he’d rather have his eyes gouged out with a clawhammer than sit through this again.
Gremloids – Looks like a rip off of StarWars made with a budget of 70 pence.
Time of the Apes – Subtitled Japanese Planet of the Apes. Looks kinda funny.
Vampire Journals – Interview/vampire rip off?
Demons 2 – The first was good. Haven’t got round to this yet though. LOVE the cover.
Too Scared to Scream – A really shitty slasher which stars Ian McShane as the killer I think. Saw half of it and I’m not interested.
Werewolf – David Hemmings at the helm should make me wanna see this. Again haven’t got round to it.
The Witch – Witches aren’t that interesting to me. This looks scary from the cover though.
Night of Terror – Got this zombie flik last Christmas. This is right near the top of my list. Looks terrific.
Shadow of the Werewolf – Terrible acting. Bad dubbing. A pic of Jamie Lee Curtis is on the back although she’s not in the film at all. Shot is from Halloween. Weird or what?
Rush Week – Looks like a quality campus slasher judging from the pics on the back. The front cover has a cloaked figure with a double sided axe. Will watch soon.
Countess Dracula – Saw bits of it but never sat down and watched it properly.
Bad Lieutenant – Looks very depressing. Never in the mood.
That Phantom of the Opera (with Robert England) – Didn’t know I had this! Looks really cheesy.
Revenge of the Killer Tomatoes – Presumably the sequel to Attack~. George Clooney’s in it. great.
Warlock: The Armageddon – Saw the beginning. Saw the resurrection scene which was quite gory but the Romeo and Juliet style main characters make me wanna throw up.
The Professional: Gogol 13 – Started this. Haven’t got round to the rest yet.
Body Melt – Harold Bishop from Neighbours is in it. Looks ultra cheesy. Somehow never quite in the mood.
Twisted Tales – Near the top of my list. I got it last Christmas. Looks sweet.
The League of Gentlemen – Excellent show. All horror fans should watch this religiously. Got the box-set last Christmas / working my way through it at the moment. Finished the season one tape. Gonna start on the last one. Papa Lazarou RULES!
Mutant – Looks really good. One of those films I’ve always wanted to see but - yeah you guessed it, haven’t got round to it. Near the top of my list. Might watch it tonight actually.
Dead Time Stories (1989) – Very proud of this. A set of three tapes, each with three stories made for TV. Tape one has a brilliant slasher short called “Last Scene” directed by Paul Verhoven showing early trademark stylistic flourishes. 80s short stories at their best.
Dawn of the Dead Director’s Cut – Very long. Keep turning off after the first act. I feel ashamed.
The Oracle – Looks like a boring witchcraft movie.
The Undead – Got last Christmas. Nice cover. Near top of list.
Killing Zoe – Had this for about six years. Will see eventually.
Ironweed – What the FUCK is this shit doing in MY video collection.
Bad Influence – Doubt if this is horror. Anyone see this? What is it?
Prison – Saw bits of this when I was a kid and can’t remember it. Demon loose in a Prison, sounds good.
Dementia 13 – Had this for years. Love whodunnits. Love b/w films. So why haven’t I seen it? Search me!
The Terror – Really boring. I probably saw this and forgot.
Devouring Waves - Quite good really. One of the better crappy Jaws rip-offs. Didn't watch the end though.

Warewolf (1996)?

This is, to me, the worst movie ever made... You can only watch it with the help of MST3K moking it.

The Church (DVD-available at Best Buy for 12.99 along w/ Stagefright for you Soavi fans out there)
Opera (DVD)
Tenebrae/Deep Red (DVD-I've seen them both before on DVD)
Just Before Dawn (VHS)

Mind you I just went shopping and bought the first five on the list over last weekend. The others I've had for a while but I've had quite a backlog of movies since Christmas.

I also have the Twin Peaks first season DVD set and haven't touched them yet. I will soon though.

Well I haven't yet watched-

-Hellraiser 2- Taped it from TV, awhile back, only seen about 1'2 hour of it... just always seem to watch something else.
-Devil Rides Out- aquired on DVD for Christmas.... something has just stopped me watching it.
-Haunting Fear- Heard is a semi-good movie... but the DVD makes it look bad.

You can hold off on watching The Oracle, it is quite dull and suspenseless.

I have seen all of my approx. 400 movies around here although some I haven't watched for many years, like Stephen King's Graveyard Shift. If I don't watch them for a long while I usually get rid of them unless they are hard to find or rare.

I bought it at a store called Movies2sell, which is in San Diego about 5 minutes from my house. They also have a web site- www.movies2sell.com (http://www.movies2sell.com) . I've seen it on e-bay too, though it usually gets bid up pretty fast.

Vampire Journals is okay...pretty artsy fartsy though....very fluffy. Good if you like the goth-romantic vampire image. I think the Vampire dude in it is the same one from Carpenter's Vampires. I bought it on DVD here in Oz for $8.99 which is extremely cheap when you realise how worthless the aussie dollar is.... http://www.joblo.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif

Saw Mutant last night. Really great scary film. It was a zombie flik kinda with brilliant characters and a frenetic plot style that reminded me of the likes of J.Herbert, S.Hutson and R.Laymon. Class!
