Any other horror fans out there?

[Mr Mystery]

Is it just me, or are horror films really good fun?

I'm asking because I'm starting to rebuild my collection having binned my VHS prior to moving house - and I kind of want recommendations alongside general chit-chat about those low budget, poorly acted videonasties I absolutely love.

Anyone?

No?

Dust?

Anyone?

Bloodsucking Pharaohs in Pittsburgh?

I'm a fan of monster films particularly within the horror genre, slashers and stuff that tries to make you jump doesn't really do anything for me. I like things like The Bunker, The Descent, Pandorum, Monsters, and the bad b movie monster films, and weird supernatural stuff like Event Horizon, The Sphere, Ninth Gate etc.

i dont know that theres anything B for me bout those last three,
as far as B-psych-horror with a cheese monster how about THE ABYSS!?

The Alien Tetrology's a good (and obvious) start. Opinions are all over the map for 3 & 4, but I think they're worth at least watching and deciding for yourself.

As for my "to-watch" list, I've had recommended to me;
Martyrs (for gutwrenching horror)
Descent ("mainstream" horror, but pretty good)
[Rec] (the Spanish original, not the dire English version, Quarantine)
(I really need to find some friends in my area that are into horror. Or local friends at all, moving apartment three times in a year's a pain.)

Holla!

Descent is ace, as is its directorial predecessor Dog Soldiers. I love how Neil Marshall isn't afraid to tweak the formula - Descent and Dog Soldiers both lack flailing, screaming proagonists in favour no-nonsense sensibilities to surviving.

Neil Marshall's third film, Doomsday is less horror, but still a fun (if slightly messy) film.

Not heard of Sleepaway Camp. I shall endeavour to find it!

Also, massive shout out to Arrow Video who are masters of the DVD format. Proper restorations, decent extras. Totally worth checking out their ever expanding library of titles.

I thought Doomsday was awful, was a big surprise and massive letdown after the first two

[Mr Mystery]

I really enjoyed it. It's completely daft and overblown, but fun.

Though I do get it won't be everyone's cup of tea.

Cabin in the Woods.
I'm a HUGE horror fan, and I heartily endorse it.

[Mr Mystery]

Yes. A twelftyjillion times YES.

Might watch that tonight, because reasons. Though I've also got the Nightmare on Elm Street set turning up at some point today too....
