Just a list of some of my favorites... some are classics, others are really bad but somehow I found them entertaining...I offer commentary on the bizarre/unexpected choices.
- Psycho (1960)
- Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
- Dracula (1931)
- Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)absolutely brilliant in 3-D
- American Werewolf in London (1981)
- Psycho 2 (1983) entertaining and pretty well done
- Invasion of the Bodysnatchers (1956)
- Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) before they turned Freddy into a stand-up comic this one scared the hell out of me...still does
- Creepshow (1982) a tribute to the EC Comics of the 1950's, not a masterpiece or even very well done but still an entertaining Halloween movie!
- Shriek of the Mutilated (1974) this is without a doubt the biggest piece of crap on my list...students set out on a college field trip to find the dangerous and elusive yeti and end up getting killed off one by one...bad acting, bad special effects, bad script (if they even used one), bad cinematography - I love it! In my opinion one of the worst films ever made! But hey, it's got a surprise evil cult ending and the classic annoying tune Popcorn by Hot Butter!
- The Skull (1965) Christopher Lee & Peter Cushing in a tale about the stolen skull of the Marquis de Sade and it's evil and deadly powers. Some cheesy effects of the skull crashing through a display case and levitating around the room on monofilament but it is so fun!
- Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things (1972) A bunch of actors go to an island for a seance and end up raising the dead - good B zombie flick but actually pretty creepy!
- Carnival of Souls (1962) A classic low budget horror film and also kinda creepy!
- House on Haunted Hill (1959) Vincent Price in a fairly watchable "group of people spending the night in a haunted house film" - good Halloween viewing.
