I watch Demons and Demons 2 at least once a year I think. Bobby Rhodes being in both movies despite being killed in the first is tremendous. Bobby used to pop into the IMDb threads for those films and answer questions from fans, seems like a lovely bloke. On Italian horror, Michele Soavi's Stage Fright: Aquarius and The Church are both fantastic. Not an Italian horror, but I'm watching John Carpenter's under-appreciated masterpiece Prince of Darkness tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Demons is tremendous, especially the bonkers final act. Haven't seen the sequel since the 90's (though I have it sitting about on Blu-ray) but I remember enjoying it despite it being a bit of step backwards imo, the TV scene in particular terrified me. Noticed a remake of Rabid in ASDA's today. Anyone seen it? Actually have quite a few Italian (and other) horror movies that I need to get through. I have a terrible habit of buying Blu-ray's and never watching them. Did Prince of Darkness get a 4K release? Sure I read that somewhere. Really need to check it out one day.

Paid Members DEF Posted October 30, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Love Horror and cult cinema. Infact I've just had my first viewing of Don't Torture a Duckling. Every October I watch and review a slasher film from my Blu-ray collection. I have my friends pick them on my Facebook and post the mini reviews. I include Giallo, proto-slashers and tangential slashers that I can see a clear connection to. I call it SLASHTOBER and it's taken on abit of a life of its own as I have mates now that do it to and even my Mum has talked about it in passing unprompted and she wouldn't watch any of this guff. I think I posted the first one in a thread here or at least the start. It's a great way for me to motivate myself to rewatch my collection. The picks this year have been,  01 Stag Night 02 Child’s Play 3 03 Friday The 13th part 6 – Jason Lives 04 Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key 05 Smiley 06 Psycho Cop Returns 07 The Ice Cream Man 08 Splatter University 09 Absurd 10 Day Of The Reaper 11 Girl House 12 The Nail Gun Massacre 13 Santa's Slay 14  A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge 15 Dead Man’s Shoes 16 Body Puzzle 17 Final Exam 18 Doom Asylum 19 Friday The 13th 20 Alice Sweet Alice 21 A Nightmare On Elm Street 22 Amsterdamned 23 Discopath 24 Blood Rage 25 Eaten Alive 26 Stagefright 27 Mask Maker 28 Midnight Movie 29 Just Before Dawn 30 Don’t Torture A Duckling Dev is bang on with his shout for Stagefright. It's brilliant. I think the only film I hadn't seen before this year was Don't Torture A Duckling. After every year I remove that years picks from the line up so I don't ever repeat and so that folks can't just pick the same old stuff. Anyone fancy picking tomorrows from this list?   2001 Maniacs All Through the House Amusement Bad Dreams Bay of Blood Bird With The Crystal Plumage Black Christmas A Blade in the Dark Blood Beat Blood and Black Lace Blood Harvest Blood Hook Blood Night: The Legend of Mary Hatchet Bloody Birthday Bloody Homecoming Bloody Moon The Boogeyman Buried Alive Camp Blood Camp Blood 2 Cat O’ Nine Tails Chain Letter Cherry Falls Bride of Chucky Curse of Chucky Cult of Chucky Cutting Class Chopping Block Christmas Evil Comedown Cornered!

RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Horror is my all time favourite genre of movie, I'm more old school than new school though, anything from the silent era through to 80's and I'm sold. Every year from around November through to the following September I stock up on films to watch during October, basically anything I can pick up cheap off Ebay or releases from Arrow, 88 Films or labels like that especially when HMV have them on special offer like 2 for x Amount or BOGOF Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted October 31, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted October 31, 2019 When I was a kid my favourite horror film was Clownhouse, a b movie about escaped violent lunatics who dress as clowns and attack the house of 3 young brothers (including a really young Sam Rockwell). I much later found out that the director; Victor Salva filmed himself molesting the youngest boy repeatedly on the set and went to prison for it. When he got out he made Jeepers Creepers (which I also loved), he's so gross looking as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DEF Posted October 31, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted October 31, 2019 Clownhouse is one of the few slashers I have no desire to see and hope it never gets released. I know there are folk that want to see it and can separate what happened from the film but I sure as shit can't. The fact that Salva still got work is utterly fucked.

DavidB6937 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Horror was my favourite genre for many years. Seem to have lost the appetite for it recently since I've had kids for some reason, but usually keep up with the news etc. Got into conventions way back in 2003 when I saw Robert Englund appearing at one. Such an amazing guy. Been going to them ever since. Highlight was getting a photo with him in full makeup a few years back. Met many genre legends over the years and all such great people to talk to, from directors to stars. My original love was slashers. I remember trying to get all the Nightmares and F13ths and Halloweens on video back in the day from various places. I went through other phases of loving Italian horror and French extreme stuff etc, as well as the Japanese phase that most people went through. Wrote a lot about horror at uni and learnt about the video nasties and all of that business. It's certainly a genre that has an absolutely fascinating history, especially when it comes to the perception of certain films. I've not seen many things that I'd never watch again, but I'd put Martyrs up there with movies that I'd find very very difficult to sit through again. Most things wash over me but I felt absolutely empty inside by the end of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the premiere at FrightFest a little while ago. I found it deeply okay. It's well enough made and looks good, but I never really engaged. CM Punk is in it, and has a pretty fun cameo - he's also probably got the best moment in the entire film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Just remembered Return of the Living Dead 3. Has it's flaws but much better than it had any right to be imo. Lost count how many times I watched it back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Tommy! Posted October 31, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted October 31, 2019 I remember someone on here posted a short Italian horror film a while back about a man stuck in a phone box but I can't remember the name. Can anyone remember what it was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 It was mentioned earlier in the thread but the Rob Zombie film, 31 is on YouTube. For those who haven't seen it I would recommend, Hell House LLC. I had low expectations when I started to watch it but I really enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Ford Coppola gave Victor Salva the money to make Clownhouse, after Salva was convicted of molesting a boy on the set of that film ruining its release Coppola still financed Jeepers Creepers for him years later. So at least someone likes the revolting bastard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
