Oliver Reed posted:I've only seen Audition and his Masters of Horror episode. What's worth a look? The premise of Gozu sounds promising. In addition to what's been mentioned, the Dead or Alive series (not to be confused with the videogame movie of the same name) is one of the cornerstones of Miike's filmography, especially the first one. It's definitely one of his goofy/shocking movies, but unlike most of them (Ichi the Killer, Fudoh) he goes somewhere with it. And you should definitely see Gozu.

I think Gozu's my favorite but Ichi the Killer's definitely great too. edit: oh, and his segment in Three Extremes is excellent Uncle Boogeyman fucked around with this message at 14:47 on Sep 16, 2014 |

I'm somewhat embarrassed how long I waited to watch these because I thought they actually were based n the games and wasn't particularly enthralled with the idea of Miike's take on big titty volleyball.

Sweet find this week at a pawn shop, Subspecies on BluRay for three bucks and the trilogy on DVD for a whole whopping dollar. Do I dare watch them all now or wait until October...?

Speaking of Miike, but not necessarily horror, Izo is a buttload of fun. Has some horrific elements, and if you're a Miike fan, you'll probably dig it. Also has a very cool soundtrack and a hefty amount of Miike weirdness.

Basebf555 posted:No Lords of Salem? You're obviously a Zombie fan, what gives? That's a good point, I think I might combine all the Puppet Master movies into one and then add the Lords of Salem in the empty slot. I loved the Lords of Salem but for some reason it seemed a little slow and a little boring at times. It felt a little uncomplete. But you're right, I'm pretty much a sucker for anything Zombie does so it should be on the list.

If you want to include giallo films and haven't seen many, watch Deep Red around the same time you watch Saw and note the similarities. Watch Twitch of the Death Nerve around the same time as a F13 film and note the similarities. Twitch is also a lot like La Ronde, with murder substituted for romance, if you're inclined to french art films. The House With The Laughing Windows is just generally great and has a great soundtrack. Also it's fun to say "I'm watching some Pupi Avati tonight". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJYOsl4FtsA You asked for films from the 40s and 50s: why not go even earlier and watch Haxan and/or The Phantom Carriage? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbRThzCZoXo Maybe some Jess Franco to change things up? The only films that are like Franco films are other Franco films. Bloody Moon fits great for a halloween themed run of films.  Your list is fine as-is of course, these are just suggestions because you asked. EDIT -- and if you're a Rob Zombie fan, you should watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre II because that's the film Zombie has been desperately trying to remake for his whole career. Every Zombie film so far goes back to that film, except for maybe Lords of Salem which is very obviously channelling Ken Russell instead (and that's never a bad thing). EDIT 2 -- and EVERYBODY should have Messiah of Evil on their list for October if they've never seen it. There is no excuse for that film not to be a beloved and well known horror film.

That movie is just so superb in so many ways. Are there any other good examples of horror documentary (not faux-documentary or found footage)? kjetting posted:Pretty dope film festival all around, but this one really made me smile. Gracias. Someone pointed out to me that it's missing The Crimson Ghost, Monster from Green Hell, and The Misfits, but I tried keeping myself to 16-hours. Turns out Bloody Moon is on YouTube, which itself led me to remember Alice, Sweet Alice, a.k.a. Communion, a movie that scares the poo poo out of me to the extent that I've never watched it all the way through. Also, if anyone's looking for a really 'feel bad' horror movie, I highly recommend Agusti Villaronga's In a Glass Cage.

Does Intruder really need to be rediscovered? It's about as well-known as all those other "rediscovered" movies (with the exception of Hausu, which got some semi-mainstream recognition by being a Criterion). Also, Where Eagles Dare isn't a horror movie, so I would totally sub one of the others in for it on the Misfits list.

Also has a very cool soundtrack and a hefty amount of Miike weirdness. Izo is one of my favorites, and seems generally underrated by almost everyone, but this ^^^ is correct. Over 2 hours long, but if you're a fan, you should definitely watch it. Watching Hitokiri/Tenchu (1969) first is helpful, but not necessary.

Yeah, but they won't know about Messiah of Evil, Possession, Race with the Devil, or Day of the Beast either. Hausu, maybe, but again, only because of Criterion cred.

More important: Watched Inferno in HD over the weekend and it really shines (in vibrant glowing coloured light) in the format.

If you're talking about Hausu, all I was saying is that Criterion picking it up made its cult following grow pretty drastically and encompass a lot of people who otherwise couldn't give the faintest poo poo about obscure 70s J-horror. It's rad as hell, but if Criterion had never released it, it wouldn't be nearly as well-known as it is. SALT CURES HAM fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Sep 16, 2014 |

Coming up with an October film list was more fun than I'd expected. I limited myself to just what I already have available on physical media, and tried to aim for stuff that could, for the most part, be watched with other people. I also tried to mix in some stuff I hadn't already seen, so that I'd get some surprises along the way. Here's what I've got, though I might tinker with it some more. 1st: The Addams Family (1991) 2nd: The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) 3rd: Bad Dreams (1988) 4th: Kwaidan (1964) 5th: The Dunwich Horror (1970) 6th: The Devil's Hand (1961) 7th: The Ring (2002) 8th: Marker (2005) 9th: Blood of Dracula's Castle (1969) 10th: Clownhouse (1989) 11th: Love Object (2003) 12th: I, Madman (1989) 13th: V/H/S (2012) 14th: Tesis (1996) 15th: Night of the Living Dead (1968) 16th: Kairo (2001) 17th: Psycho (1960) 18th: Dressed to Kill (1980) 19th: Sinthia: The Devil's Doll (1970) 20th: Suspiria (1977) 21st: The Evil Dead (1981) 22nd: Terrified (1963) 23rd: Scream (1996) 24th: Maniac (1980) 25th: Frankenweenie (1984) 26th: Maniac (2012) 27th: Satan's Slave, a.k.a., Evil Heritage (1976) 28th: Wolfen (1981) 29th: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) 30th: The Blair Witch Project (1999) 31st: A Bucket of Blood (1959)

Ooh, horror movie challenge lists! This is only my third year doing the "31 Days of October," but I really enjoy it. I try to pick movies I haven't seen yet, and I try to get most of them off of Netflix Instant, but there are a few I will just be ordering off of Netflix this year. I don't have all 31 choices picked out yet, but here are a few: Sleepaway Camp (somehow I have seen the sequel and third movie, but not the original) You're Next V/H/S/2 Maniac (2012, have not seen original) The Woman Absentia Jason Goes to Hell (I know, I know, but it's the only F13 movie I haven't seen) E: Lil Mama Im Sorry posted:I've never seen any Argento flicks, though I'm a big fan of his daughter's movie The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things, so tonight I think I'm gonna do a double feature of Suspiria followed by Inferno. Phenomena is the only Argento flick I've seen, but I thought it was pretty good. katium fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Sep 17, 2014 |

Lil Mama Im Sorry posted:so tonight I think I'm gonna do a double feature of Suspiria followed by Inferno. I remember a while back someone slagged off Inferno and I defended it but never followed up on why I thought it's so good. Basically, Inferno is The Beyond done right. It's an appropriate successor to Suspiria not only in its basic premise - of the Three Mothers covens and their haunted estates - but in the thoroughly lucid quality of the storytelling. Fulci and Argento attempted similar things with their respective films, where the emphasis was less on strict narrative logic and more on cruel imagery that would accurately replicate the inescapable and inexplicable terror of a nightmare. But while Fulci's version of this is basically just a generic exploitation movie written even more loosely (which has its own more direct, perhaps 'populist' qualities that some may prefer), Argento goes for the operatic. The production design of both films is heavily inspired not by contemporary horror movies (which Fulci was more want to do), but by Disney animated features and Hollywood musicals. You see this especially in Suspiria, which was originally written as a straight up horrific fairytale with little girls as the protagonists, except Argento discovered that this would be too difficult to achieve, so he decided to just direct his adult actresses like children through these larger-than-life set pieces. Inferno pushes these aesthetics even further while making the color palette and production design a tad more contemporary. Even more so than Suspiria, there's no fixed protagonist or goal or ethical dilemma. The horrors of the film are totally abstract, basically representing death itself. There are several points in the film - most notably early on in the lecture hall scene - where the cinematography is disconcertingly eccentric, suggesting further that, much like many dreams, there is no fixed point-of-view, and instead only the fractured worldview of a mind trapped in a menagerie of vaguely familiar places, all haunted by an inescapable shade. The Goblin score cuts out and cuts back in jarringly, achieving an often distinctly comedic effect. It's a much more Lynchian film than Suspiria, though it's not at all referring to Lynch.

Lil Mama, you should swap Inferno for Opera or Tenebre if you have access to them. Inferno's good, but it's probably the least good out of his 70s and 80s output.

What does Jesus Franco have against snakes? This is the second movie by his I've seen which features random acts of violence against a snake. It wasn't as bad here as it was in 99 Women, but, geez, Jesus, have a heart. EDIT: It's Bloody Moon.

Inferno is very good and deffo underrated, but it's nowhere near The Beyond, which is basically Fulci's Suspiria. Because Oculus got me back on a kick for goofy modern horror and because I am a glutton for punishment, I'm about to throw on The Last Exorcism 2: 2 Last 2 Exorcisms.
