Haven't seen this one pop up yet. For those looking for a superior haunted house movie, I heartily recommend The Haunting (1963):



If you can watch it on DVD, it has a great commentary track with the veteran cast, and contains loads of behind the scenes info.

Please ignore the CGI remake!

So GAF, can 'Eraserhead' be called a horror movie or not? It totally freaked me out when I saw it. Also, throwing out some love for 'The People Under The Stairs!' :)

Been seeing V/H/S on a lot of lists. Is it worth a look? Might make it the first on my run.

I also recommend La Herencia De Valdemar, as long as you don't mind a cliffhanger. You can watch Part 2 to it if you want, but it's pretty shitty in comparison to what is a fantastic gothic horror movie.

Product Description
This limited edition coffin contains eight of the most iconic cinematic masterpieces of the horror genre. Digitally restored in perfect high-definition picture and sound, The Coffin includes a never-before-seen featurette about the restoration of Dracula and the first ever offering of Creature from the Black Lagoon in its restored Blu-ray 3D version.

Full Titles List:

Dracula (1931)
The original 1931 movie version of Bram Stoker's classic tale has for generations defined the iconic look and terrifying persona of the famed vampire. Dracula owes its continued appeal in large part due to Bela Lugosi's indelible portrayal of the immortal Count Dracula and the flawless direction of horror auteur Tod Browning.
Bonus Features: Dracula: The Restoration - Available for The First Time!, Monster Tracks: Interactive Pop-Up Facts About the Making of Dracula, Dracula Archives, Score by Philip Glass performed by the Kronos Quartet, Feature Commentary by Film Historian David J. Skal, Feature Commentary by Steve Haberman, Screenwriter of Dracula: Dead and Loving It , Trailer Gallery

Frankenstein (1931)
Boris Karloff stars as the screen's most tragic and iconic monster in what many consider to be the greatest horror film ever made. Dr. Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive) dares to tamper with the essential nature of life and death by creating a monster (Karloff) out of lifeless human body parts. Director James Whale's adaptation of the Mary Shelley novel and Karloff's compassionate portrayal of a creature groping for identity make Frankenstein a timeless masterpiece.
Bonus Features: The Frankenstein Files: How Hollywood Made a Monster, Karloff: The Gentle Monster, Monster Tracks: Interactive Pop-Up Facts About The Making of Frankenstein, Universal Horror, Frankenstein Archives, Boo!: A Short Film, Feature Commentary with Film Historian Rudy Behlmer, Feature Commentary with Historian Sir Christopher Frayling, 100 Years Of Universal: Restoring the Classics, Trailer Gallery

The Mummy (1932)
Horror icon Boris Karloff stars in the original 1932 version of The Mummy in which a team of British archaeologists accidentally revives a mummified high priest after 3,700 years. Alive again, he sets out on an obsessive-and deadly-quest to find his lost love. Over 50 years after its first release, this brooding dream-like horror classic remains a cinematic masterpiece.
Bonus Features: Mummy Dearest: A Horror Tradition Unearthed, He Who Made Monsters: The Life and Art Of Jack Pierce, Unraveling the Legacy of The Mummy, The Mummy Archives, Feature Commentary by Rick Baker, Scott Essman, Steve Haberman, Bob Burns and Brent Armstrong, Feature Commentary by Film Historian Paul M. Jensen, 100 Years Of Universal: The Carl Laemmle Era

The Invisible Man (1933)
Claude Rains delivers an unforgettable performance in his screen debut as a mysterious doctor who discovers a serum that makes him invisible. Covered by bandages and dark glasses, Rains arrives in a small English village and attempts to hide his amazing discovery, but the drug's side effects slowly drive him to commit acts of unspeakable terror.
Bonus Features: Now You See Him: The Invisible Man Revealed, Production Photographs, Feature Commentary with Film Historian Rudy Behlmer, 100 Years of Universal: Unforgettable Characters

The Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
The acclaimed sequel to the original Frankenstein has become one of the most popular horror classics in film history. The legendary Boris Karloff reprises his role as the screen's most misunderstood monster, now longing for a mate of his own. Colin Clive is back as the proud and overly ambitious Dr. Frankenstein, who creates the ill-fated bride (Elsa Lanchester). The last horror film directed by James Whale features a haunting musical score that helps make The Bride of Frankenstein one of the finest and most touching thrillers of its era.
Bonus Features: She's Alive! Creating The Bride Of Frankenstein, The Bride Of Frankenstein Archive, Feature Commentary with Scott MacQueen

The Wolf Man (1941)
Originally released in 1941, The Wolf Man introduced the world to a new Universal movie monster and redefined the mythology of the werewolf forever. Featuring a heartbreaking performance by Lon Chaney Jr. and groundbreaking make-up by Jack Pierce, The Wolf Man is the saga of Larry Talbot, a cursed man who transforms into a deadly werewolf when the moon is full. The dreamlike atmospheres, elaborate settings and chilling musical score combine to make The Wolf Man a masterpiece of the genre.
Bonus Features: Monster by Moonlight, The Wolf Man: From Ancient Curse to Modern Myth, Pure in Heart: The Life and Legacy of Lon Chaney, Jr., He Who Made Monsters: The Life and Art of Jack Pierce, The Wolf Man Archives, Feature Commentary with Film Historian Tom Weaver

The Phantom of the Opera (1943)
This lavish retelling of Gaston Leroux's immortal horror tale stars Claude Rains as the masked phantom who haunts the Paris Opera House. A crazed composer who schemes to make beautiful young soprano Christine DuBois (Susanna Foster) the star of the opera company, the Phantom also wreaks revenge on those he believes stole his music. Nelson Eddy, as the heroic baritone, tries to win the affections of Christine as he tracks down the murderous, horribly disfigured Phantom.
Bonus Features: The Opera Ghost: A Phantom Unmasked, Production Photographs, Feature Commentary with Film Historian Scott MacQueen, 100 Years of Universal: The Lot, Theatrical Trailer

The Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) - including Blu-ray 3D version
Captured and imprisoned for scientific study, a living "amphibious missing link" becomes enamored with the head researcher's female assistant (Julie Adams). When the hideous creature escapes and kidnaps the object of his affection, a crusade is launched to rescue the helpless woman and cast the terrifying creature back to the depths from which he came. Featuring legendary makeup artist Bud Westmore's brilliantly designed monster, Creature from the Black Lagoon is an enduring tribute to the imaginative genius of its Hollywood creators.
Bonus Features: The Creature From The Black Lagoon in Blu-ray TM 3D, Back to The Black Lagoon, Production Photographs, Feature Commentary with Film Historian Tom Weaver , 100 Years of Universal: The Lot, Trailer Gallery

I have that version pre-ordered as well.

** Received my Universal Monsters Coffin on Saturday and it is fantastic! The only head-scratcher is the way they attached the promo sleeve to the coffin. I can see plenty of people ripping the coffin if they don't take their time.

Craziest viewing of the month:

Is this the brilliant Lewton/Tourneur 1942 original? Or the misguided '80s "remake"?

I trust this is the 1944 original in all its sublime genius and not the 2008 POS by the same name? I'm humming Stella By Starlight... :)


I've started plucking select titles from my library to watch... here's what's on the pile so far:
  • Halloween (Carpenter)
  • Inner Sanctum Mysteries (hour-long features starring Lon Chaney that will suffice if I'm short on time)
  • Killer Klowns From Outer Space
  • Trick'r Treat
  • Sleepaway Camp
  • various and sundry Hammer and AIP
  • this year's silent film will be Nosferatu or The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, but I haven't decided yet... oh hell, maybe both!

The original is one of my favourite films of all time. It's beautifully shot, and air of longing and loss it can evoke is staggering...

You sir are clearly a man of impeccable taste... I'm watching a DVD R+ from a 16mm print - still have my VHS print but looking at the ebay prices I should have it stored in a vault... Do you have an R2 copy or a VHS print?

It's a UK dvd import, not mine though, I'll be borrowing it from a friend. I don't even have a VHS player anymore, despite still having a fairly sizable collection :|

I've actually never seen the film before, or any film in my list. I thought it'd be best to expand my film knowledge, and not necessarily rewatch stuff I've already seen.

I'd love to see a Horror Film I want to see but haven't actually seen yet... London After Midnight perhaps, if they ever find a copy... But I've been a card carrying "monster kid" since the '70s and I've no stomach for torture porn or much of the more violent content that passes for "horror" since the '80s, so there's actually nothing I can think of that I want to see that I don't already own... my current library comprises more than 1200 horror and science fiction titles on DVD...

miller_time22 said:
Sounds interesting. How is the Curse of the Cat People? Amazon has the double feature for $4.01.
Click to expand...
hehehe... they're radically different films, connected by virtue of having the same leads playing characters by the same name, and little more. Curse is like a pre-industrial European children's fairy tale; magical and a little dark, dream-like... It's worth seeing, but don't expect it to be a true sequel to Cat People. I've only watched Curse twice in my life, but I must have seen Cat People forty or fifity times...

I really had no idea they had some of these titles available -- some of them haven't even seen a proper US DVD release. Netflix really does have a large catalog, with a little something for all tastes. You could easily cull 31 movies from this list and have a blast.

So I started a little early, I'm in the Halloween spirit already.

Sept 23 - Twilight Zone: The Movie (The opening scene is one of my favorites, the suspense is great. The 1st and 4th stories are good, the middle 2 are bad. Lithgow is good as usual. Watched on Blu-Ray 2.5 out of 5)

Sept 24 - Halloween 3: Season of the Witch (one of my faves, but it's so bad. Plot makes no sense, especially the ending. I always wish they had gone with their initial plan of a different halloween related story every year. Watched it on Blu-Ray. 3 out of 5)

Sept 25 - Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (another one of my faves, Severely underrated. Michael is back and Danielle Harris is great in this film. Watched on Blu-Ray, 3.5 out of 5)

Sept 26 - Friday the 13th Part VII Jason Takes Manhattan (FT13th is my childhood, this one has nostalgia, but is where Jason started being able to teleport. Most of the movie is on a boat, not NY. Pretty lame death scenes for a FT13 film. Jason's demise looks pretty cool. Watched on Netflix. 2 Out of 5)

Sept 27 - The Mothman Prophecies (Another underrated flick. I normally can't stand Richard Gere, but the story is just so good. The movie is just creepy, you never know what is going to happen. Somewhat based on a true story/legend. Watched on Netflix. 3.5 out of 5)

Sept 28 - Creepshow (I love anthology films. The Box is one of my favorites. Not a bad story in the bunch, except Stephen King cannot act. Tom Atkins cameo in the beginning is great. 3.5 out of 5)

Sept 29 - Vacancy (Good suspense flick. It's based in a motel, so you can kinda tell where it's going to go. Not a bad movie, unlike a lot of the other suspense horror flicks around the same time. Watched on Blu-Ray. 3 out of 5)


Movies I plan on watching over the next month
American Werewolf in London
Silver Bullet
The Howling
Scream
Scream 2
Scream 3
Halloween
Halloween 2
Friday the 13th
Friday the 13th Part 2

Anyone else think she actually became a worse actress as she grew up?

She was almost intolerable in Hatchet II. Maybe all that nonsense she had to do in Halloween 5 ruined her acting ability.

The Last Exorcism -- AVAILABLE ON NETFLIX

Synopsis: Shot as a documentary, a preacher is seeking to show filmmakers about the world of fake exorcisms. Fed up with the religious world, he goes out on a final call to save a supposedly possessed girl in rural Louisiana. And you guessed it, this is actually a real possession.

I actually enjoyed this movie up until the supernatural stuff started. The preacher is quite charming and cool and straightforward, when I thought he'd be kind of a lame shyster type. Seeing how he does fake exorcisms is kinda interesting. It's also refreshing that this is not a "Preacher screams at girl writhing on bed" exorcism flick -- action moves all around the house, and very little time is actually spent in the bedroom. There's also some interesting ambiguity as to what is happening, and which (if any) family members can be trusted.

Once the demon really begins to take hold though, I thought everything was a bit cheesy and not all that frightening. The twist at the end (
think of Rosemary's Baby
) was just a bit dumb, and I think I would have preferred a more straightforward conclusion than an attempt to shock the audience with a revelation.

Tomorrow's the day!

Day 1: We kick off this year's marathon with a veritable classic that I'll be seeing for the very first time. Don't Look Now helps inaggurate week one's theme, which is a special highlight on British horror. Does knowing the film's twist ending diminish the film's effectiveness? With Nicolas Roeg behind the camera, I'd wager the story isn't as important as one suspects...
