Favorite (best?) horror movie...
Yeff
That's the way it's always been. To start the topic
off I'll just through some out:
The Exorcist: How can it not be on the list? A movie
where they gave warnings to people with heart conditions
not to see it! I've even heard on a mailing list that
it's still impossible to rent the movie in England because
it was banned. Is there any truth to that?
Salem's Lot: A made for TV movie that scared the crap out
of me even though I watched it on my tiny B&W bedroom TV.
When the dead little boy is floating outside of his friends
bedroom window scratching on the glass just turned my
insides cold. How about the vampires sleeping under the
houses during the day?
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Chilling. Especially since
Leather Face is based on real-life cannibal killer, Ed Gein.
More?

think, made for TV, called Home for The Holidays with Sally Field. It was 1973
and it scared the living daylights (I was 10) out of me. It was around this
time that Killing Me Softly was on the radio and that song reminded me of the
movie. Still cant hear that song without thinking of that movie.
Also for TV I saw in 1975 was Elizabeth Montgomery as Lizzie Borden. Scared me
more because it really did happen. I didnt sleep for months because I was sure
Lizzie was going to come and get me!! My dad didnt help either because he
would pass my room at bedtime singing the little rhyme, "lizzie borden took an
ax...." Terrified me even more!! That started my facination with Lizzie
though. I am an amateur expert on her now. I would love to visit the house in
Fall River, now a bed and breakfast. I cannot sleep there because, even at
36, at night time, I would still think she was there ready to get me!! I will
never forget how scared I was. I forgot the very real pain of childbirth but
not that!! Its in my bones.

music was creepy too. None of it's sequels even came close except for Halloween
II and IV.
Black Christmas, this movie is also freaky. Anyone ever see this? Margot Kidder
and Olivia Hussy were in it.

Another that affected me (scared me) was the Kim Darby tv movie, the title
just escaped me, Who's afraid of the Dark or Don't Be Afraid of the Dark,
where the little demons are running around the house and only she seems to
see them. Then the husband finally believes and rushes home to save her but
too late, she's been dragged down the fireplace by the demons because her
dead grandfather is down there with them and asked them to go get her for
company.
The final scenes where she is being dragged to the fireplace and can't
escape and the scene where the husband is looking down the fireplace and
only hears the demons voices is soooo creepy to me.

How about "Carrie"? Not too scary but just plain weird. "They're gonna

Amityville Horror - I was 10 when I saw it and was scared to death
afterwards.
Excorcist: I made a personal vow never to watch this movie again.
Blair Witch what?

This is one of the few movies that really scared me. Even as a kid it took
alot to creep me out.
I had nightmares about one scene for the longest time. The one where the
grave digger fell into the grave and the coffin opened up. I would dream
that I fell in the grave and my "crush" at the time was the vampire.

I saw this movie as a kid with my uncle and his friends. They made it into a
comedy. Years later I worked with someone who lived across the street from
the house. She said it was all a crock of sh*t.
When a friend from PA came out to visit me for the first time, she said she
was creeped out every time we drove past a sign on the LIE (Long Island
Expressway) that said Amityville. It never had that effect on me.

There's something not quite *right* about that, Joy :-) I certainly wouldn't
be able to sleep soundly there myself!
Don't see this one mentioned yet, my personal favorite from the '70's.
ABC Movie of the Week in '74, starring Karen Black and co-starring the
most evil-looking doll since Chucky .... come on, you remember peeking
through your fingers at it .... that's right, "Trilogy of Terror", waaa-haa-haaa!
Man, that one killed me as a kid and I saw it on a the late, late, late show
not long ago and it *still* rocks. The other two stories in the trilogy are
instantly forgotten but the evil doll at the end stays with you forever.
"The Exorcist" still holds up as well. And for Jeff who asked if it was still
banned in England, according to Empire magazine, it was finally made
available last year. "Clockwork Orange", though, is still banned there.

Black Christmas was an amazing movie, especially considering the guy who did
it, Bob Clark, made a movie previous to it that was a real stinker -
'Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things'. Ugh!!
Most over-rated horror movie:
The Shining. I found the book creepier. The movie just doesn't give me any
chills.
Other great horror movies:
The Changeling
Motel Hell
Dead Alive (unrated)
Woman In Black
Deranged (a movie done in 1974 based on Ed Gein, the notorious Wisconsin
necrophiliac)
The Sixth Sense
Poltergeist - not really a scary movie, but a well done one, none-the-less
Frighteners - same reason as Poltergeist
The Omen (1, 2, and 3)
Evil Dead
Army of Darkness
Alien
The Thing (John Carpenter's).
I could go on forever, but I'll stop with that list.

The story itself was made up by the people who lived in the house, and
around whom the story is based. They wanted to get some money out of the
deals they made for books and movies, since the Dad was in serious debt
(which was the real reason they moved from the house - they couldn't afford
it), and he needed money badly. They gave varying versions of the story to
different magazines and authors, which didn't reinforce their credibility.
MartiDave
Made For TV) called Horror Hotel. This girl who has no friends wins a week at a
bed and breakfast run by this old couple who invite outcast girls to stay with
them. They fatten them up and eat them! Cool scene at the end of the movie
where the lead girl is serving dinner to her new husband (who was working for
the couple) and you see the old couple's heads in the freezer! The old woman's
head winks at the camera during the closing credits! One of my favorite
low-grade horror movies.

from waaay back when I was a wee youngster. I usually was allowed to watch
what I wanted, if I didn't stay up past bedtime, so I grew up loving shows
like Night Gallery. Anywho, movies...
First, don't know the names of either of the movies I'm about to mention,
and, while neither would be considered a favourite, they are ones that stuck
in my mind for one reason or another.
1) Way back when ATV (local affiliate of CTV) used to air the Midday Movie,
they had aired a movie that involved a tiki doll that came to life (and with
Ay-yi-yi yells and murderous tendencies) when a chain fell off of it.
Anyone remember this one?
2) This one's even hazier, I remember being fairly young and watching it
with my older brother & my mother. Mom spent most of the movie behind a
pillow <G>. Vague memories include a castle (yeah, bet that's narrowed it
down for people), and a torture chamber. I seem t recall someone getting
their face chewed off by a rat (a cage was affixed to the person's face and
the only way for the ravenous rat to escape the cage was through the
victim's face). Anyone remember this one at all?
Most people seem to remember the Tiki Doll movie (and I know I've heard the
title of it, sometime in the last few years), but danged if anyone recalls
the 'rat' one.
Erin - who, while cleaning, found her "Mom always sayd, "Don't play ball in
the house." and other stuff we learned from TV" book...some good stuff in
here (including some of Paul Lynde's centre square one liners). Anyone else
have this book?

Hmm...got that old "reply before finishing the thread" thing happening...I
think this is either the "Tiki Doll" movie that I was thinking of, or it's
the movie I thought was the "Tiki Doll" movie when I said that I'd heard the
name recently.

Is that a part of the Karen Black Trilogy? I'm not sure that's even
the actual name, but I recall everyone talking about how creepy the
tiki doll's noises were. Yikes!

All that's coming to mind with that one is a Vincent Price type Edgar
Alan Poe idea, like the Pit and the Pendulum or something.
Gee, I'm glad I decided to reply to you, Erin, seeing as how I know

Rod Serling hosting? It was three stories that were designed to scare you.
The one that always stood out in my mind was about the little boy that could
see the future. It was about a little boy who would just be talking about
anything and then suddenly got a flash. He was able to 100% predict what
would happen. They eventually gave him his own TV show where he would
converse with a hostess (who I think was his tutor) and be asked questions
and suddenly come up with some predictions. Well at the end of the sequence
he was asked about some such event that was to take place "tomorrow". The
kid then take's off into "Tomorrow all men will truly be equal. There will
be no more hunger, or war, or pain. All men will be as brothers and we will
all be in a wonderful world." As I recall you could hear cheering from
outside in the streets, and the technicians in the studio. The (his) show
came to a close. The hostess said something like Billy that was wonderful,
where did you come up with that. Is it really going to be like that? And he
said yes there will be peace. "What's a Nova?" And the teacher then told the
producer, director and assembled crew what a nova is. Fade to black. It was
on only once that I know of, in 1970. Long before I had a VCR. Excellent
show!! My words cant do it justice.

I didn't see the movie, but I read the short story that either inspired or
came from the "Night Gallery" tale. It was very compelling.

remember where one guy wanted to take revenge for some slight. So he gets
the object of his venom locked into this house where he is allowed to find
a gun. Then over a loud speaker system he is told about a virus or some
biological organism that eats your bone fiber. He finds this large rubbery
almost human figure. But he cant quite place it as human. It looks almost
like a cross between a worm and a puddle. The voice then tells him that this
was the last person that the voice was pissed at. And this person had been
exposed to this organism. And so now has he. So in something like 24 hours
this guy will turn into this large slug-like creature. There is no escape
from this house, and even if there were, there is no cure for what he has
been infected with. He has no choice now. Either be slug-man, or, shoot
yourself. While he is slowly panned away from the voice goes on to describe
what life will be like for slug-man, (torturing him). Then...BANG. After
that, the voice comes out from his hiding place and says something like "He
fell for it. And saved me the trouble of murdering him!" Fade to black.
Fantastic episode.
My scariest film was, although not a horror film, "Last House On The
Left". I always said that if I ever had a daughter I would take her to see
that film, just to show her that you cant trust strangers no matter how
hip,grown up, sophisticated or tough (we're from Brooklyn N.Y.) you think
you are. HIGHLY RECOMENDED (although a little dated and easier to see
through now). Wes Craven's first. '73?

The Shining was probably the movie that kept me wound the tightest. The
shots from the little boy's view, riding his Big Wheel up & down the empty
halls, just KNWOING somthign horrible was certain to pop up in front of him!
(And of course the climax scenes were great, too.)
I agree with the excorcist, but NOT Salem's Lot. I guess it's because the
novel is still my all-time favorite horror novel and the TV-movie was SOO
unfaithful to the book. I simply couldn't get into it because every stinking
scene was totally different than I remembered.
I thought the 1973 Jack Palance portrayal of Dracula was very scary (of
course I was 10 at the time!). Ghost Story seemed outstanding to me when it
came out; today it seems a wee bit lame in the fright department.
American Werewolf in London was good, but not as horrifying as I had
expected. (A big senior football stud at college said it scared him half to
death; I actually hesitated renting it for fear I couldn't handle it. I
guess the guy was just a wimp when it came to horror movies!)

Yes, I find the Lizzie Borden story fasinating too. Fall Rivers not too far

that story though, showing both versions of what might have happened. I'd love

The Changeling was one movie that really gave me the creeps too, Davis...like
the ball bouncing down the stairs...eeeeeeeeeee! That's the kind of horror
movies I like, not the slice and dice kind. And I thought in the last
Poltergeist move that old guy in the black hat that kept coming up to the door
singing that creepy tune was mega scary! I think every hair on my neck stood at
attention!

I don't remember that one either Erin, but keeping posting it once in awhile
and someones bound to.
I just saw the one you were talking about Dawna about a month or so ago with
Vincent Price. I missed the first part, though, so I'll be looking for it
again.
I wrote not long ago that I just found one of my childhood memory horror movies
and video tape and couldn't have been more excited! I was one of those things
I've talked about and remembered for so long and then *poof!* there it was
staring me in the face so I bought it! It's called The Haunting of Hill House
and Julie Harris and Claire Bloom are two of the stars (only know their names
cause I'm reading the jacket!). It didn't scare me this time, like it did when
I was little, but I still love it just for the memory of it... : )
Sandy

I remember that! But I thought at the end it came out and everyone was so

I agree! Not really scary but great special effects and the
black humor of the dead friend showing up more and more
decomposed each time was pretty cool.
