I can feel the Halloween seasopn rolling up on us and I'm getting all giddy. I usually watch AWiL 3-4 times in the month of October - LOVE it!

There may have Been slaher flicks but Halloween is still the Omega, even if you would say Halloween isn't the original slasher, it is still more original then Friday....well not the first friday that was a DAMN GOOD MOVIE(although I love the series)

Myers si still the coolest slasher though :).

So does Horror Express...seems like not a lot of people have seen this one, and it's got its flaws, but has a great sense of fun for a horror film.
It's been way too long since I watched that one...

I think you may have chosen my viewing material for tomorrow evening:p

I would have to say Poltergeist and the Exorcist. I have nightmares for days when i watch these movies.

That's an excellent list. You have a very respectable and varied taste in horror, my friend.

Se7en.

I know its not horror as in the exact meaning of the word, but, read my blurb in "HDC top 100" thread if you wanna know why.

The Demeter 08-29-2006 07:11 AM

Thank you very much alkytrio666 and Crimsonfiend. I was begining to wonder if anyone on this forum had seen Nosferatu.

Chek the HDC Top 100. I think you'll find we have a great amount of respect & affection for it around here:cool:

urgeok 08-29-2006 07:44 AM

i'd have to say : The origional Omen.

not my favorite horror film (one of them)
but to me it's a classic horror film,
perfect in it's execution in every way - and it
set the bar for me personally ...

- classic good against evil story
- excellent mature actors
- old school sensational kills
- part road film/fish out of water/buddy film/mystery movie

(i liked the unlikely partnership between prim and proper gregory peck and the disheveled david warner)

all the elements i love in film rolled into one ...

I remember seing Nosferatu when I was just a kid, and I was totally freaked out. Max Schreck (is this the correct spelling??) still looks creepy event by today's standards!

One o fmy favorites. Even more enjoyable after listening to the commentary. Richard Donner is a riot, and it is clear that they really enjoyed making it. PLus, it wasnt the only antichrist to come oout in 1976. (hey, i just turned 30....)

Indeed, Growing up I was always used to seeing the suave Lugosi-esque vampire, so when I did see a Bald vampire with huge teeth I'm like.....Fuck that Nosferatu IS SWEEEET

All time fave

Nosferatu is my favorite vampir film of all time.

Chilling to the bone.

Absolutely agreed. No suave, no charm, just straight up evil & terrifying.

"I need more makeup..."

The Demeter 08-29-2006 02:30 PM

Nosferatu is definitely my number one horror film. ( Notice my screen name.) Its great to hear from others who still enjoy it. Max Schreck is the greatest vampire. His performance at the end is so touching.

CrimsonFiend138 08-29-2006 08:50 PM

Did any of you guys liked salem's lot? I thought it was pretty good. (Since it was inspired by Nosferatu)

Side Note: If you have seen Salem's lot and know anything about cars, could someone PLEASE tell me what kind of car Mr Strayker was driving, I've always wanted a car like that.

I'm sorry to get off subject.
