Prom Night 2 Hello Marylou, it's ridiculous, bizarre, and weirdly hilarious.

I’m a sucker for 80s slashers. Want to do a rewatch of Happy Birthday To Me. The ending is hilariously ridiculous but as a kid I totally bought it. It’s also “classier” than most slashers of the era, with Glenn Ford in a supporting role and directed by J. Lee Thompson (who directed the original Cape Fear)

I love Starry Eyes! I’ll add l'interieur, Haute Tension, and an oldie Blood and Black Lace.

R2 Love that one. Mary from Little House on the Prairie and Lauren from Young and the Restless are in it! The cover art on the VHS used to scare me as a kid(the skewer!). Then I watched it and loved it.

Apart from the well-known classics, my favorite is The Hitcher with Rutger Hauer and C. Thomas Howell. So atmospheric and terrifying. And Tommy was cute as hell.

Scream (1996)

While the 1980's had a few good horror movies, by 1995 the genre was full of horrific direct to video sequels. Kevin Williamson wrote a horror film about horror lovers. It is more like a murder mystery.

Wes Craven came onboard and got a truly great, and very,1990's cast- Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, David Arquette, Skeet Ulrich, Matthew Lillard, Rose McGowan, Jamie Kennedy, Liev Schreiber, Henry Winkler, and, of course, Drew Barrymore

You just had to be there.

My favorite is Candyman. I love the People Under the Stairs, Hellraiser and Phantasm too. I love quite a few horror but those ones I will sit down and watch anytime I catch them.

If you like Scream, give Happy Birthday To Me a try. It doesn’t have the tongue in cheek humor but there’s a spiritual connection

by Anonymousreply 9May 17, 2024 8:54 PM

My current favorites are Suspiria, A Wounded Faun, and The Neon Demon.

I’d add the six minute music video in Ghost Ship as a special mention.

Alien (1979)

Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, John Hurt, Ian Holm, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, and Yaphet Kotto

r12, movie night soon? I will bring popcorn!

"Climax" isn't a traditional horror movie, but it's an intense trip and a half.

I miss having horror movie nights, but those friends moved away and I can't find any gay men my age (50s) who likes horror. I thought gay men loved horror movies almost as much as irony and camp.

Rosemary's Baby.

Jacob's Ladder - really effective horrifying moments and overall mood

Hellraiser

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (orig.,)

28 Days Later

Don't Look Now

The Wicker Man - more perversely comic, but I'll add it here

The Shining

The Vanishing (1988)

Prince of Darkness (John Carpenter, 1987) - Cheesy and just bad in many respects, yet with great elements and a very tense mood. The force in the glass cylinder is made really effective.

LOTS of movies because it's probably my favorite genre:

Psycho

Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead

Suspiria and Deep Red (preferably in Italian)

Scream and Scream 2 (since they're one long movie)

Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness (with the original dark ending)

From Dan Curtis: the "Amelia" segment of Trilogy of Terror and the "Bobby" segment of Dead of Night

The original Wicker Man

Sisters, Carrie, Dressed to Kill (which I almost went to see in NY this afternoon) and Body Double

Carpenter's The Thing

It Comes at Night

Audition

Train to Busan

Don't Torture a Duckling

Murnau's Nosferatu

R1 I’m so glad you mentioned that one. It’s long been one of my favourites. Totally crazy premise but played very straight for the most part. Lots of humour that isn’t necessarily apparent upon first viewing.

I also enjoy the third one, which is a full-on black comedy.

Caught a really bad but FUN horror movie the other week. Cathy's Curse.

Little girl gets possessed by her dead aunt who died as a young girl in a car crash. The film is soooo bad it is hilarious.

My favorite is Scream, but I like The Chainsaw Massacre remake and the newish Pet Semetary, along with the remakes of House of Wax and My Bloody Valentine (just because I love the Supernatural guys).
