Very freaky flick from Lucky McKee.
The ChurchThe Church
Buy used from: $2.50
Normally I not into Dario Argento, so it must have been Soavi's touch that made this film appeal to me so much. He did make CEMETERY MAN after all, definitely one of my all time favorite films.
Dead AliveDead Alive
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $6.14
If only all those Tolkein fans knew what was really go on in Peter Jackson's warped little brain!

Stuart Gordon, Jeffrey Combs, and Edgar Allen Poe. What more could you ask for, except maybe a surprise ending?
The ResurrectedThe Resurrected
Buy used from: $21.85
A highly under-rated adaptation of Lovecraft's "strange Case of Charles Dexter Ward."
The FacultyThe Faculty
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $3.82
I expected just another dead teenager movie. I was pleasantly surprised.
Shaun of the DeadShaun of the Dead
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $3.13
One of my favorite moments was when they were arguing about the relative merits of the record albums before they threw them at the zombies!

Utterly devastating horror.

Larry Cohen comes through yet again with a completely original concept.
Tale of a Vampire [VHS]Tale of a Vampire [VHS]
Buy used from: $7.52
Another romantic vampire, but this one might not make you quite so nauseous.
Day of the Dead (Divimax Special Edition)Day of the Dead (Divimax Special Edition)
Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $4.99
I hated this entry in Romero's zombie series when it first came out, and it took me a very long time to learn to accept it, much less to like it.
DagonDagon
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $5.28
Doesn't live up to the standards set by RE-ANIMATOR and FROM BEYOND, but how many films do?
She CreatureShe Creature
Buy new: $9.95 / Used from: $2.10
This one will surprise you. Its beautiful, haunting, original, and scary--everything a horror movie should be!
In the Mouth of MadnessIn the Mouth of Madness
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $4.77
One of the best Lovecraft movies ever, and its not an adaptation.
The MistThe Mist
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $1.60
I'm normally bored silly by Stephen King. I suppose this one appealed to me because it had a sort of Lovecraftian feel to it, plus that ironic little twist at the end.
Cat PeopleCat People
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $3.84
This remake from an Alan Ormsby script gets a lot of bad mouthing. Usually I'd be the first to join in since I don't think any classic needs to be remade, but I don't object much to this updating at all. I like the concept of keeping the mating within the family--they wouldn't have lasted very long otherwise.
The Lair of the White WormThe Lair of the White Worm
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.58
Was this based on something by Lovecraft? It seemed as if they had taken some idea and then debased--er, adapted it. Anyhow, I got a kick out of the whole thing.
Return of the Living Dead 3Return of the Living Dead 3
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $18.03
The only one of the three original spin-offs that was played seriously.
A Nightmare on Elm StreetA Nightmare on Elm Street
Buy used from: $1.13
A very slick job of a really good idea.
The GateThe Gate
Buy used from: $6.93
Nice idea here too.
Gate IIGate II
Buy used from: $6.47
I liked the silliness of this one even more than its predecessor.

Here's one you have got to see.

Luckily I didn't see this in the theater, so I didn't have to sit throught all that Tarantino crap in order to see the good stuff.
The HiddenThe Hidden
Buy used from: $3.47
Not really science fiction, by my definition its pure horror with a huge dose of action flick.

See this on a do-it-yourslef double feature with HABIT.
The Unnamable IIThe Unnamable II
Buy used from: $2.10
Okay. Its my list and I like this. I don't like the first one, but this one has a certain charm to it, due to the emphasis on Randolph Carter.
NightbreedNightbreed
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $4.34
Now I REALLY don't like Clive Barker, and yet I do like NIGHTBREED. MAYBE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CASTING OF DAVID CRONENBERG AS THE HOMICIDAL PSYCHIATRIST.
The Serpent And The RainbowThe Serpent And The Rainbow
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $3.99
Based on the book of the same name VERY, VERY LOOSELY, its imaginative and original, my two magic words.
Jason X (New Line Platinum Series)Jason X (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $0.98
I hate slasher flicks. So why is Jason on my list at all? Because its JASON IN SPACE! When all else fails you gotta come up with SOMETHING new!
The HitcherThe Hitcher
Buy new: $5.98 / Used from: $1.04
Rutger Hauer just has to sit there to be scary. So when he ACTS scary--WHOA!
The MachinistThe Machinist
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $2.91
I wasn't even going to put this on a horror film list. I think its on my regular MUST SEE list.
The EntityThe Entity
Buy used from: $36.34
This can silly pretty fast, especially if you've known as many schizos who have had spirits/demons/entities lusting after them as I have know. (People love to tell me things they never tell their shrinks.I wish they wouldn't) But I like Ron Silver so I'll put this one on my list.
Masters of Horror - Stuart Gordon - Dreams in the Witch HouseMasters of Horror - Stuart Gordon - Dreams in the Witch House
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $1.06
Too bad Jeffrey Combs was too old to play this part.
Masters of Horror - John Carpenter - Cigarette BurnsMasters of Horror - John Carpenter - Cigarette Burns
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $1.93
This was a very intriguing story. Not quite what I expected from John Carpenter.

I've knocked a few obvious films off my list because I'm tired of seeing the same titles come up all the time. I love the concept of this one, and its warped sense of humor too.
The Host (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)The Host (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $14.49 / Used from: $0.01
I like this good old fashioned Korean monster movie that turns out to be nothing like Godzilla or anything else we've ever seen.
The HazingThe Hazing
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $3.88
Like I said, I knocked off big name popular titles to go with small flicks that gave me something I liked

Not horror at all, but I really wanted to put this weird Romero film somewhere it might be moticed. Its abouta biker-Renaissance festival. Tom Savini is Morgan LeFey, they haven't had the heart to tell him that Morgan was a woman.
