Which horror flicks should I add to my collection?

[thompsoncory]

OK, so I am gathering up my groups of horror movies a little early this year, but every year I throw a scary-movie bash for me and my friends on Halloween. I need a couple of suggestions to what I should buy in addition to what I already have. And please do not mention SERIOUS horror flicks, for I am just looking to have a good time. Horror DVDs I have are as follows:

The SCREAM TRILOGY Boxset
I Know What You Did Last Summer
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer
Final Destination
Final Destination 2
The Haunting
Joy Ride
The Ring
The Others
Valentine
Halloween: Resurrection
Darkness Falls
Swimfan
Identity

Please, any suggestions from you fellow schmoes would be greatly appreciated.

MOTEL HELL
Fun and bloody 80s chainsaw cult fave. Available on DVD along with DERANGED (MGM Double Feature).

RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD
A classic, sort off. Great fun flick.

THE COMPANY OF WOLVES
The perfect Halloween flick in my opinion. Nightmarish, surreal, scary, sometimes funny and full of symbolism.

GINGER SNAPS
More Werewolf mayhem. This one actually takes place on Halloween night. Entertaining and kinda off beat but beware of the US DVD which is full screen only. The Canadian disc is the one to look out for.

Well first off you need at least the original Halloween or part 2 not the resurection crap or like J. Sledge said Friday the 13th (but only 1-7 the rest were crap.

[ilovemovies]

I'm not really sure what you mean by serious horror flicks but I'll mention movies that I had a good time and you can make up your mind if it follows with your definition:
Jaws
The Hidden
The Exorcist
Aliens
Ghost Ship
The Haunting
Poltergeist
Gremlins
The Frightners
Ghostbusters (more of a comedy but it's also horror)

[Ripper1888]

Fright Night
Fright Night II
Idle Hands
Tremors
Candyman
Sleepy Hallow
Sleepaway Camp 1-3
Silent Night,Deadly Night
Re-Animator
Dr.Giggles
An American Werewolf in London
Shocker
The Serpent and the Rainbow
Child's Play 1&2
Bride of Chucky
The Monster Squad
Maniac Cop
The Hole
The Thing(John Carpenter version)
Vampires(John Carpenter version)
Tales from the Darkside
Cats Eye

[Bullet Tooth Tony]

Some I could personally recommend...

Halloween
Dawn Of The Dead
The Exorcist
Black Christmas
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
28 Days Later
The Blair Witch Project

But some are of the serious tone. If you want fun try the Evil Dead trilogy, Braindead directed by Peter Jackson and Return Of The Living Dead (which is a really fun horror flick)

[nisea731]

You guys forgot The Changeling, the last good haunted house movie and starring the great George C. Scott

Oh if ONLY this were on DVD!!! I assume you are talking about the only good movie with the "Scarecorws" title!

The only horror film you need is Rosemary's Baby.

That's a must to any DVD collection.

He said only fun horror movies and I don't understand how you could think this movie is fun.

[NuclearMisfit]

Id have to say wait till next month for the release of The Monster Squad.

[ChicoCahill]

Monster Squad is coming out. Thats the best news i've heard all day.

[Fight Cluber]

Check out Jason X, not the greatest movie, but it's lots of fun, and any horror fan would enjoy it to some degree.
