Just picked this 4 pack up at Costco for $15, now which to watch first tonight?

Stephen Chow Shaw Brothers horror

Loved both of the rob zombie remakes!

Just watched "annabelle" definitely a wait for dvd movie.

Nice deal!

Since I have been watching these Polanski-esque movies I had to rent The Tenant off of Amazon. God I love that movie!

As far as the Halloween remakes, I dug the first one okay, but really didn't care for #2. Kinda all around ugliness.

That is exactly how I feel about pretty much every Rob Zombie movie. Add to that the fact he seems to cast his same friends and family members in every movie he does I just don't even watch them anymore. Yeah I get that he loves the old fashioned 70's slasher/porno feel but that seems to be all he ever does and using the exact same atmosphere and actors every single time got old fast. For me anyway, some of my friends love everything he does.

On friday, amazon prime had a one day deal for the Nightmare On Elm Street blu ray boxset. Only about $4 a movie. Gonna put the first one in right now and try to pull an all nighter making it through the Dokken themed Dream Warriors

I also watched The Gate ( one of my favorite old schoolers from my youth ) and Trick Or Treat ( the one with Ozzy in it and the backwards messages in the metal records )

^ Excellent idea ! Haven't seen it in ages.

Started my Halloween bingeing tonight with Black Sunday (Devil's Mask). I think this was Mario Bravos 1st and introduced Barbara Steele. Maybe the first Italian eyeball grossout thang as well? Now I must decide to continue with more Italian or switch over to Hammer or Japanese.

A great time of year for Hammer. Also the classic Amicus portmanteaus.

Gonna be a month full of John Carpenter films over here and some cheesy 80s junk like Ghoulies..

I tried watching Deliver Us From Evil a couple of nights ago and it was so goddam boring.. what is it with horror movies in the past 10 or so years?? Just apply dirty muddy make-up to the actor playing the evil spirit/demon and have them crawl on the ground in a creepy way. No thanks..

I watched Without warning and Death Spa this weekend. Definetly had fun with both of these low budget cheese fests.

Did you see Lords of salem?

^ His only watchable film to date, imho. It has a decent 70s TV movie vibe, which is what I'll assume he was going for.

Re-watched Misery today and then happened upon something called Joy Ride on IFC.

Repeat of a list of mine from last year:

25 films involving vamparism in some form or another, released since 1970, that I recall enjoying:

Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, '70 - Jaromil Jireš

The Vampire Doll, '70 - Michio Yamamoto

Daughters of Darkness, '71 - Harry Kümel

Lake of Dracula, '71 - Michio Yamamoto

The Blood Spattered Bride, '72 - Vicente Aranda

Ganja & Hess, '72 - Bill Gunn

Lemora, '73 - Richard Blackburn

Leptirica, '73 - Đorđe Kadijević

Blood for Dracula, '74 - Paul Morrissey

Evil of Dracula, '74 - Michio Yamamoto

Alucarda, '77 - Juan López Moctezuma

Rabid, '77 - David Cronenberg

Nosferatu the Vampyre, '79 - Werner Herzog
,

I've seen some of them dozens of times, some just once, but all of which I'd likely pop in the machine again. Please excuse the lack of Jean Rollin, Jess Franco and deeper sleaze on the list - and you can keep your Hammer!

Honorable mentions to Love at First Bite and that two-parter from Buck Rogers.

Lifted from this thread.

^^^^^
So there's no Hammer vampire movies you like? Have you even seen any of them? I find it hard to believe.

I'm not against them, that's for sure, but none of the seventies efforts did all that much for me. Vampire Circus was pretty cool, I guess, and The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires was fun. Never seen the lesbian trilogy.

Rented it and returned it without ever watching it.

Did I miss out on something worth watching?

Just saw Wrong Turn 6 can be rented On Demand now! I loved the first one. The sequels were really hit and miss, mostly miss but after seeing 5 of them I can't pass up on sequel now.

^ If you dislike his other movies you will absolutely hate The Lords of Salem..

I really like some of his stuff, but Lords was just god awful.

DARIO ARGENTO'S THE SANDMAN starring Iggy Pop

Interesting . . .
?

Edit: I just remembered Argento's Dracula . . . Disregard this post . . .

Had an all Spanish language GDT triple feature last night, and Cronos was one of them. Love that movie. Also watched The Devil's Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth. I suppose Pan's Layrinth is more of a fantasy/horror movie, but i've watched it many, many times and I still tense up with fear watching it

I enjoyed Lords very much. Well the second time I liked it more. At first I was like what the hell did I just sit through I may be biased since I live one town over from Salem and it was cool seeing the Salem locations. I read the book also which explained a little bit more.

Twins of evil is one of my all time favorite Hammer films.

I just don't get why Argento can't get good cgi on any of his movies. They ruin all his newer efforts. If you have seen his Dracula you know what i'm talking about. It was a fun stupid move but my god the cgi is awful.

True, but I am convinced that better CGI would not help make Darcula a less bad movie. There is so much wrong about this flick that it made the so-bad-it's-good-cycle a couple of times and ended up at so-bad
