oh boy, mags, this is the question Ive been waiting for you to ask! Come sit down by 'ol sammy here a sec and lets see what I gots for ya..
Hmmmm... *sits n puffs on tiger pipe n looks like he's pondering space and time*
well, it all kinda depends what youre looking for, but I have some general goodies here that should cover most bases:
I'd purrsonally recommend:
The Descent - some gal pals go cavin' and run across a race of subterranean subhumans. Besides the creepy crawlers, there's some cliffhangers in this one that had me hangin on to my couch with both paws!
Ginger Snaps - a Canadian "teenage werewolf" flick with a rabid cult followin'. There's a reason why too, because
it friggen rocks. The sequels suck tho imho
In the Shadow of the Vampire - what if the actor playing Nosferatu was really a vampire? Willem Dafoe and John Malkovich made this one of my top ten
Audition - No pasty kiddie ghosts here. Just well done Japanese psycho-sexual horror that will creep you out. Watch out for this one, it bites hard
A Tale of Two Sisters We got some little girls here, but it aint the usual spooky kiddies in this Asian horror soon-to-be-classic tale.
The Dark Hours - Psychologist super meanie flips out as a terminal brain tumor rips her reality apart. This one will make your nose bleed.
Cemetary Man - While we're talking reality rending, lets slip into a surreal trip into the nature of life, death, love, & hate. And zombies. Or are they? Pass the catnip, man
From Beyond - Nice little take on an HP Lovecraft mad scientist tale, with one of the best mad scientists there is - Jeffrey Combs (re-animators).
Dagon - and while we're talkin' HP, lets talk Dagon. This is a good, lesser known Cthulu mythos flick. Not great, but it's worth a go
Shaun of the Dead - one great horror-comedy that in one fail swoop both lampoons and pays tribute to the livin' dead genre. Chances are youve seen it
Interview w/ the Vampire - Anne Rice's vampire opus that I'm not embarassed at all to say that I love. Sometimes when I see it at the video store, I just have to hold it for a minute.
Silver Bullet - one of my favorite werewolf flicks of all time and I always plug it
Salem's lot - another King Klassic, that quite frankly kick my ass up and down every time I watch it to this day. Very scary film, youve prolly seen it too
The Fly remake w/ Jeff Goldblum & Geena Davis - not much to say, it's a cool classic remake
and last, and in a way, least....
Joshua- This movie is by all rights, horrible. Yet, I must admit, the last ten minutes absolutely destroyed me with a magnificent, masterful, terrifying, spine-snappin', stomach-churnin', eye-poppin', tail-crimpin' coup de grace 'that temporarily lobotomized me. I wasnt right for days. It's not allowed in my home
