If you want to view paradise . . . simply look around and view it!

Well I just watched The Satanic Rites of Dracula to kick the Halloween season off. It's kind of a Dracula meets James Bond without James Bond. I also like:
 Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter
 Carrie
 Alien
 Wicker Man
  Blacula(Yup)
 Who Slew Auntie Roo?
 Halloween
 Dawn of the Dead
 Abomidable Dr. Phibes
 Beast Must Die
 Horror Express
 Vampire Circus
 Kingdom of the Spider
 Empire of the Ants
    And of course on TV I loved the entire Night Stalker series.
Jumping Kings and Making Haste Ain't my Cup of Meat

Umaril The Unfeathered

Beyond The Door absolutely petrified me as a kid, and as a bandwagon film, and perhaps the most famous of the Exorcist ripoffs, gets good mention.

Local NY stations would run the commercial just a 10 o' clock when kids had to go to bed.  And we all were affected by that nice little question that Juliet Mills gets to ask in this little scene:

Low budget, yes. But a true feeling of evil pervaded the possession scenes and made it a truly brooding and atmospheric film.

Other faves of mine:

Horror High aka "The Twisted Brain"

Tombs Of The Blind Dead and it's sequels

Lucio Fulci's films, namely Zombie 2 and House By The Cemetery

Let Sleeping Corpses Lie aka Don't Open The Window

Tales From The Crypt and The Vault Of Horror

Superstition (early 80's Italian movie.)

and many many more!
Tam-Riel na nou Sancremath.
Dawn's Beauty is our shining home.

An varlais, nou bala, an kynd, nou latta.
The stars are our power, the sky is our light.

Malatu na nou karan.
Truth is our armor.

Malatu na bala
Truth is power.

Heca, Pellani! Agabaiyane Ehlnadaya!
Be gone, outsiders! I do not fear your mortal gods!

Auri-El na nou ata, ye A, Umaril, an Aran!
Aure-El is our father, and I, Umaril, the king!


Crystal Pepsi Lite

It's been mentioned but Hell House is one of my fondest memories from childhood.  I loved that movie and it freaked the hell out of me.

I re-read the novel and then re-saw the movie recently and I realized how much they dumbed-down the book for the movie.  All the little quirks the characters had were gone in favor of the more 2-dimensional characterization.  Still, not a bad haunted house movie.

Simon: King of the Witches ~ I really like this story it does a good job in justify the mysteries of 'witchcraft.'

Werewolves on Wheels ~ very cleaver made witch movie... saddly I wish this was about Werewolves (ok there is a werewolf in the story)

The Night of the Sorcerers ~ Incredible movie I think it was made 5 years too early, no nudes, although in 5 years the woman would be your typical Chubby Italian Hippies... I do like the idea that all the female vampires happen to have the same native leopard skin bikinis.
