Thanks for recommendations, 316Zombie. I'll add them to my rental queue.
Teenagers are so fickle these days with movies. It almost seems like you need the real Satan to jump out and bite them before they get scared *lol*
I will watch Rosemary's Baby again in a year or so to see how I go. I haven't really seen many older horror movies. I think the oldest one I've seen was The Omen and then the next one with Sam Neill in it. They were pretty good from what I remember. But that was quite a while ago.
I'm not really a fan of Asian movies generally. But I did enjoy The Host quite a bit. And I saw a Godzilla movie where there were two American kids and their dad in it. I think the Japanese parts were dubbed into English. I guess that's not really horror, but I enjoyed that as well.
The oldest you've ever seen was the OMEN?
Noone of the early Universal Monster films? Or Val Lewton's RKO pictures of the 40's? No Lon Chaney Sr or Jr.? No Lugosi,Karloff, Lorre or Price?
None of the British Hammer Studio's pictures?
No PSYCHO? the original the HAUNTING? The BIRDS? No BLACK SUNDAY?!?!
No DEEP RED or the original TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE? NO NIGHT OF THE KIVING DEAD?!!?
I...I feel faint....
Wow...I envy you! You've got a LOT of GREAT viewing pleasure to look forward to!
Me...I have to dig through obscure garbage to even find ONE gleaming nugget of GOOD horror...
But...I've developed a taste for insanely, BAD movies...so it's not so bad...!
Nope, never seen any of those. I did see the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre with Jessica Biel and enjoyed that one. I didn't really get into horror and gore until a few years ago when my 16 yo son was old enough to enjoy them. He kind of dragged me along for the ride that way. Until then I was more interested in comedies and rom-coms *shamedfaced*. Although these days, horror/supernatural/terror/suspense/fantasy type movies are mostly what I watch.
I know I have a lot of movies to wade through and I figure I watch maybe 2 or 3 a week, so that leaves probably a lifetime of viewing still to go
I've written a list of all the recommendations from this board and as I get through them I'll provide a critique. I understand b-movies are an acquired taste sometimes, so be prepared for someof them to be trashed
Many thanks to everyone who have been quick to help out a newbie like me.
