Anyone have any suggestions for some old-school spooky horror with a touch of camp? The more they resemble an episode of Scooby-Doo the better. I caught a couple William Castle flicks, House on Haunted Hill, and City of the Dead the other day and I'm in the mood for some spooky swamps, creepy castles, and hilarious hijinks. Ideally in contemporary times. I asked in the general thread and got a few suggestions, but figured y'all would know more deep cuts. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 03:22 on Jul 8, 2019 |

Basebf555 posted:Vincent Price is definitely your best bet but a lot of those are period pieces. But The Haunted Palace, Tomb of Ligeia, and Masque of the Red Death come to mind right away. And yea Abominable Dr. Phibes and Phibes Rises Again also fit the bill. M_Sinistrari posted:Theatre of Blood. Vincent Price at some of his best scenery chewing and hamming it up. Perfect, these look like exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks! I'm also not opposed to period pieces, I just tend to vibe a bit more with a modern setting. But I adored Night Creatures with Cushing in this same vein so I'm open to period suggestions—though I've seen a good chunk of the Dracula/Wolf Man/Frankenstein stuff and enjoyed it, but when those try to incorporate humor it hasn't ever hit for me. But maybe I'm just watching the wrong ones.

Franchescanado posted:You know what? It's not really what you're asking for at all, but if you haven't seen A Bucket of Blood, you should. It's a really fun flick with a strong Beatnik setting. Finally caught this a couple of months ago and loved it. Basebf555 posted:I was gonna recommend The Asphyx, but it looks like it's not on Prime anymore, that's a shame. Looks like YouTube's got Asphyx, I'll pop one on the list. Caught Horror Express last year when I was on a big Cushing kick, but that's right up my alley. After a little digging I also found Horror Island, Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow, Hard Rock Nightmare, and Graveyard Disturbance on Youtube, which all seem like they're in line with my ask. Can anyone vouch for any of those? And Abominable Dr Phibes has been on the list for a while, I'll re-prioritize it.

The only way I could see that remotely working is if the time gap is essential to the story and the characters experience the same time gap as the audience. Not sure if it would add anything, but it could be a neat gimmick if utilized well.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:Though not as weird as the other opinion I’ve sometimes encountered that the original Nightmare on Elm Street is a good idea poorly executed I'm probably in that camp, to a degree. Don't get me wrong—it's a good movie and terrifically fun to watch, but I can't help but be left feeling like it's got a lot of missed opportunities. For a movie where dreams are at the forefront, it's not really all that inventive nor surreal nor does it lean much on dream logic. There are a few moments for sure, but for too much of its runtime Freddy was just a standard slasher.

Speaking of idea guys, does anyone know why Stan Winston's directing career was so short? Was A Gnome Named Gnorm put him in directing jail or did he just want to return to special effects? I though Pumpkinhead was extremely well directed for a first-timer.

Creepshow.Pomp posted:Carpenter slowly declined into mediocre before checking out to focus on music, fried chicken and video games. Argento immediately went to borderline unwatchable then just kept going forever. I wish these kind of guys would put together a Masterclass series or something. Even if they're not able to make great movies anymore, I'm sure they're full of some pretty incredible wisdom about how they pulled off what they did.

Update: Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow was exactly the feature-length Scooby-Doo episode I was looking for. It's weirdly episodic and has a baffling lack of drag racing, but the kids are all charming, the man girl is a terrific character, the spooky castle hijinks are a ton of fun, and the kids throw a Halloween party then gather to yank a rubber mask off of a villain who has been trying to scare them away. Five out of Five Scooby Snacks.

Riverdale isn't horror per se, but Season 1gets gothic as gently caress and there's certainly significant horror/thriller DNA in it. It's semi-satirical melodrama dressed in genre trappings.

Basebf555 posted:Much like the Fermi Paradox, I often wonder if there are other little quiet corners of the internet where small groups of horror nerds discuss things like we do here and we just aren't aware of each other's existence. I really don't think so. I'm on a couple of private horror trackers, and even there discussion is pretty surface-level. At least the taste is decent, though.

You need to make it funny/witty and not just recite opinions and trivia about the movies. I mean, I've listened to some pretty bad podcasts just because the subject matter is up my alley. But yeah, I'd love a good horror movie podcast in my rotation.

Zwabu posted:Picking a random old trashy looking horror title from Amazon Prime I watched something called Night Tide. Early 60s vintage, I think, black and white, featuring a very young Dennis Hopper as a young sailor who gets involved with a mysterious beautiful woman who might or might not be a murderous mermaid! Thank you. This is very useful for my Movies That Are Basically Scooby-Doo Letterboxd list.

gently caress. I can't get the idea out of my head of making a b-movie style short film about lighthouse keepers battling a giant stop-motion sea snail. This will haunt me for years unless I do it.

sponges posted:Plan 9 From Outer Space is a good movie. Correct opinion. I was shocked at how legit great it was compared to many of its contemporaries when I finally watched it last year. The worst movie of all time label is a total joke—try watching any beach party monster movie and get back to me with that poo poo. Hell, it's not even the worst alien invasion movie from '59—Teenagers from Outer Space is a snooze compared to Plan 9. I could see "best worst movie" being an appropriate label though because it's super watchable. Plan 9 is super weird, tons of fun, and has a really specific vision and POV behind it. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Aug 6, 2019 |

Suggestions for something with good ol' fashioned ghouls? I'm thinking the sort of ghastly creeps you'd find in EC Comics, bonus for graveyards, extra bonus for lots of color and style. Ideally from the 50s-70s, but none of the actual EC Comics adaptations as I've seen those.
