"I watched barbarian yesterday, its a pretty freaky film"
Ah I've been wanting to watch this, heard some really good things about it!
I tend to watch The Exorcist and Midsommar, Evil Dead... there are a few I revisit at this time of year.

"I watched Smile at the cinema and that was very good, very similar to Ringu."
Heard good things about Smile. I don’t think I’ll get chance to watch at the cinema but on the list for when available to purchase |

"I watched Smile at the cinema and that was very good, very similar to Ringu.
Did you know that the lead actress in smile is Kevin bacon's daughter"
I didn't, that's interesting trivea. At least she didn't spend half the film trying to flog the audience phone contracts |

I second that smile was a good film ,also The blackphone was great too .
I've noticed IT is on over the weekend & always enjoy the original one ,not the new one so much.
I'm going to go watch prey for the devil on Monday,that came out yest and looks good.
Old classics like a nightmare on elm street or poltergeist are also good. |

Trick or Treat (1987).
Classic bit of 80s horror fun, where a dead heavy metal singer is brought back from the dead to wreak havoc when his final record is played backwards. Complete with appearances by Gene Simmons and Ozzy Osbourne, it's a lot of fun with a great soundtrack.
The tagline from the trailer says it all:
"His fans won't let him die. He won't let them live". |

Absolutely THE only choice at Halloween. I hate how horror movies have became either they demonic possession jump scare movie, or the torture porn (Terrifier, Hostel etc) rather than the slow burning psychological horror like Halloween was. Perfect even down to the opening theme.

Couldn’t agree more. Very rare does a new horror movie deliver the scares of the classic era. |

For sure. John Carpenter at his best, and shot on a budget of $300k. Think I'll watch it when I get in tonight! |

Just been watching "Sleepy hollow" which I don't really class as a horror even though it is quite gory. Same as "Pans labyrinth". Beautiful dark fantasies. |

Why not! I went the Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights recently in Orlando and they had a horror house based on the original 1978 Halloween movie. Was surreal and amazing. Plus scary as hell with so many Michaels “The Shape” popping out. |

"Can`t resist the Hammer Horror films,
Nightmare on Elm Street, IT (1990), The Thing (1982), Dawn of the Dead (1978) "
Some of my favourites also. I must admit I did enjoy The Dawn of the Dead remake. Although the original is my preferred. Amazing concept for a zombie movie. |

Cool!
I had the pleasure of meeting Fulci in 1994. He signed my VHS copies of Zombie Flesh Eaters and Lizard in a Woman's Skin."
Wow - that’s amazing. I love Fulci and Italian horror |

"I want to watch train to Busan but keep missing it every time it's on tv"
It's on catch up on All4 at the moment. Fantastic zombie film.
Also on All4, Wolf Creek. John Jarrat completely OTT as Outback psycho Mick Taylor.
St Maud, also on All4. Slow-burning, claustrophobic horror.
Hereditary is disturbingly creepy.
Rosemary's Baby (BBC iPlayer atm). Creepy as hell. "This is no dream, this is really happening!" |

Love horror movies they’re fun but rarely find them actually scary.
Scream, final destination and the nightmare on elm st ones I can fall asleep watching not as they’re boring but because they are familiar to me.
I find psychological thrillers are more frightening and mess with your head.
That said I do enjoy the classics
Psycho
The birds (but I’m afraid of birds anyway so that works well at scaring me)
Halloween
Friday the 13Th
Jaws
The omen
Candyman
Poltergeist
An American werewolf in London
Misery
The shining (not strictly horror but one flew over the cuckoos nest is also very disturbing)
Not often I like more modern ones but I do like
The invisible man 2020 with elisabeth moss (but I do LOVE her as an actress)
The last house on the left 2009 is actually not a bad remake but I I do have rather a soft spot for Garrett dillahunt.
Last night in soho - Diana Riggs last hurrah
The devils advocate I LOVE charlize Theron, and a rather darkly amusing al Pacino in this, not particularly scary but a fun film
Shaun of the dead not scary but very funny
The craft is a bit daft but good fun too
Lesser known ones I like include
Wishmaster (the leaf actor is fantastically charismatic)
Intruders 2015 - originally called shut in starting Beth riesgraf
Cabin fever 2002
Dead calm - the film that led to Nicole Kidman catching Tom cruises eye (not a horror but special mention here for To die for she’s also in but that’s really a black comedy, disturbing on a different level but masterfully done is another film of hers - Dogville - push past the art house premise and it’s an amazing piece of film)
The strangers 2008
Crikey long post I did say I was a fan!

Currently watching Guillermo Del Toros "Cabinet of Curiosities" on Netflix which is well worth checking out, it's a collection of weird short stories done in his usual style, expect creepiness and body shocks! |

I’m sort of in awe of Fulci. The dreamy non-logic of The Beyond is really something, and the final scene’s amazing. I always wonder how far that kind of thing was intentional. |

I saw The Beyond with both Fulci and Warbeck in attendance, along with ZFE (which played in Italian, with Fulci telling the audience "You don't need dialogue to understand a film like Zombie Flesh Eaters" - a great day!
With Fulci, all of his stuff is intentional, and The Beyond was probably the last time he really put 100% effort into his films, before age and illness began to catch up to him. |

"Halloween or horror/thriller/slasher? Big difference.
Halloween would be more supernatural vibes. Ghosts, ghouls, creatures of the night, demons etc
Yes, you are correct. I am THAT guy.
"
I will say Halloween itself gets a pass since it is set at Halloween and no way there is no supernatural goings on involved with that shit!
But Scream and company, nah. Just a bunch of psycho teens doing a tik tok trend (spoiler!) |
