So I guess, 'Christine' and 'Vampires' aren't horror films?! and Damn all this time I thought they were!

Oh and just because a film has a British producer ($$$) doesn't mean the film is a British film!!

If I remember correctly this film stared Jamie Lee Curtis, who did this film shortly after Halloween, and it took place in the States! So HTF is it British Crap?

How the fuck should I know probably!
Why? Because it's a brilliant film, it's so funny, and the soundtrack kicks fucking ass!

Wait wait wait. John Carpenter has made some classic horror films ... what are you talking about?? Halloween, The Thing, Christine (you have to admit, it's a classic.) Please list some films you consider to be "good horror" so that I know where your tastes lie.

DEAN CUNDEY ASC

Born: 1945, Alhambra, Los Angeles, USA, as Dean A. Cundey.

Education: School of Theater, Film and Television of the University of California, Los Angeles [UCLA] [1968-70].

Career: Got his start handling makeup for 2 Roger Corman productions: 'Naked Angels' [1969, d: Bruce Clark, ph: Robert Eberlein] and 'Gas-s-s-s!/Gas!' [1970, d: Roger Corman, ph: Ron Dexter; + c.op 3rd cam]. After that he scrambled for several years doing pickup shots/inserts and assisting film editors. Became gaffer. In order to increase his marketability as a cinematographer, Cundey outfitted a location truck with camera and grip equipment - then included himself - in what was a complete filmmaking package. 'It became my foot-in-the-door on a lot of low-budget films. I was able to provide a complete package of equipment and also myself to a producer. Having my own equipment meant that I could do a better job. So it was a win-win situation.' He shot some 20-25 films for people who rented his van. Ph commercials [dir by Sam Raimi, Bruce Logan, David Hogan, John Glenn, Kevin Dole, a.o.] and music videos. Was interviewee in 'Visions of Light: The Art of Cinematography' [1991]. Appeared in the doc's 'The Making of "Jurassic Park"' [1995, John Schultz; ph: Shawn Maurer], 'The Thing: Terror Takes Shape' [1998, Michael Matessino; 83m], "'Halloween' Unmasked 2000" [1999, Mark Cerulli], 'Tales from the Mist: Inside the Fog' [2001, prod: Jeffrey Schwarz; 28m] and 'Halloween: A Cut Above the Rest' [2003, Steven Smith]. Honorary member of the SOC.

Awards: BSC Award nom [1988], 'Oscar' AA nom [1989] & BAFTA Film Award nom [1989] for 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit'; ASC Award nom [1992] for 'Hook'; BSC Award nom [1995], BAFTA Film Award nom [1996] & ASC Award nom [1996] for 'Apollo 13'.

no, your "bad" was to stumble across people who ACTUALLY know about horror films.

p.s.

his horror films suck...halloween...slasher film

but i thought you said slasher films weren't horror...therefore you shouldn't be including this in his list of "horror" films.

Okay, well I'm not a fan of slasher films ... particularly because this particular type of horror has followed the path of comedy and gore over scares. But, Halloween was not like this. It generally tries to be frightening, and it was to its generation. I don't see how Carrie was a weak film, though. Taking into consideration the technology available, it was well-made and Sissy Spacek's performance is one of the most memorable in the genre. I know you don't have a problem with the story, because you lauded King's work (story-wise) in another thread.

Even so, what do you consider to be good horror? Please list some films.
