anything with Paris Hilton

[rilynil]

That's a lot of movies! :)

[patrickwm68]

That's a lot of movies! :)

I know, that's why I wanted help. Should I include all the sequels, some sequels, no sequels. Remakes or no remakes. Should I include the classics like Creature from the Black Lagoon, Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolfman. This list could get much longer.

[ANGRYCOMICMAN]

:eek: OMG.

[patrickwm68]

:eek: OMG.

Belive it or not, I created this list from memory.

[Alex655321]

Belive it or not, I created this list from memory.

Now that is impressive :thumbs2:

You must be a horror buff for sure!

[patrickwm68]

Trust me, I held back, this list could have been much longer. My wife says I'm an encyclopedia of useless knowledge.

[fossa2]

Phantasm...quite a few

House of Wax

The Cave?/The Descent?...movie where all the chicks go down into the cave

Salem' Lot

Resident Evil...all 3

Final Destination 3

Mimic

Blade...maybe?

Cujo

The Grudge...1 and 2 I believe

Body Snatchers...

weren't there more Friday the 13th movies?

I think The Howling had a sequel or 2...

what was the recent movie that was shot like a documentary...lost in the woods...ending up in a cabin...Blair Witch Project!

what was the movie where they watched the video tape & all died?

Isn't Invasion of the Body Snatchers more Sci-Fi?

Friday the 13th had about 8 sequels including Jason X.

I didn't think anything after the first Howling was worth mentioning. Wasn't one of the sequels about Marsupials?

[tigertank1225]

dude you rembered Motel Hell. that is awesome.:buttrock:

[patrickwm68]

dude you rembered Motel Hell. that is awesome.:buttrock:

It's a classic, how could I forget?

This list is really long so I'm probably going to eliminate the sequels and maybe the remakes.

[rilynil]

I don't think the list should be every horror movie made. I'm not sure what a reasonable number is, but an elimination game shouldn't take more than a couple of months to play, IMO.

[bat_collector]

please don't start this until most of the other elmination games are done
we have way too many going on

[bat_collector]

The Stuff
Twitch of the Death Nerve
Tombs of the Blind Dead
t least friday the 13th part two to get jason
and part three to get the hocky mask
mary shelly's frankenstein
House of Wax (remake)
The Skeleton Key
Turistas

[bat_collector]

great job patrick, i'd love to have a horror-a-thon with ou, great list

Yes I'm going to hold off.

I'm still honing the list, I want everyone to play so I'm keeping more of the obscure titles off the list. These 3 I never heard of. I was tempted to add "I spit on your grave" and "Children Shouldn't play with dead things". Would the Blob and The Thing be considered horror or sci-fi?

[patrickwm68]

great job patrick, i'd love to have a horror-a-thon with ou, great list

Thanks, making this list was harder than I thought. I've been adding and deleting titles as it got bigger since last week. I'm still going to work on it more and then I'll post it once the other eliminations are gone.

Next time you're in Jersey or I'm in Texas you're on.:thumbs2:

Should I include all the sequels, some sequels, no sequels. Remakes or no remakes. Should I include the classics like Creature from the Black Lagoon, Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolfman. This list could get much longer.

I would say that remakes and sequels generally shouldn't included (if nothing else to keep the list down), and I think that including the Universal films is a good idea as they were so influential. Include Bride of Frankenstein though. :thumbs2:

Would the Blob and The Thing be considered horror or sci-fi?

I'd say horror, although the John Carpenter Thing is a remake. :thumbs2:

Thinking about similar films, what about Alien?

[JLM]

The Wicker Man!

[bat_collector]

Darkness Falls
Cursed
Silver Bullet

all right, and if we'll see those three movies you havent seen yet.

[fossa2]

Isn't Invasion of the Body Snatchers more Sci-Fi?

true...

Friday the 13th had about 8 sequels including Jason X.

OK

Don't know about Marsupials...

Just throwin' stuff out there for ya :)

[bat_collector]

the second was called: your sister is a werewolf!

[cougartrace]

you really need to have PRINCE OF DARKNESS on there..

It was a very good horror movie...

It had Alice Cooper and Donald Pleasance...

[joy_division]

Alien and Wickerman

bride of chucky
the thing

leave off remakes

I echo that this should be left until some of the others finish

[patrickwm68]

OK, to keep the list down I'll leave off direct sequels, prequels, and remakes. I'm going to leave off films that were made in the 50's and back to be used for a classic horror/sci-fi elimination game later on, but I will include some remakes of those classics like The Blob and The Thing.

[bat_collector]

not all of them though!

I mean how can you not have H20, Friday the 13th part 2, Nightmare on elm street part 3 or new nightmare???? Or dawn and day of the dead???

[bat_collector]

ghoulies!!!!

[patrickwm68]

How long do you want this list? Later we can have a Horror Elimination Part II game then I'll include those sequels.

[bat_collector]

eliminatin list 2, the sequals!!!

yeah!

[bat_collector]

do you remembe silver bullet?

[patrickwm68]

do you remembe silver bullet?

Yep, saw it in the theatre. Corey Haim and Gary Busey.

[joy_division]

you have to have some cronenberg films

the Fly
Videodrome
Dead Ringers
eXistenZ

[Spatial.Archite]

I wouldn't leave out some of the Vincent Price films:
Last Man on Earth
Pit and the Pendulum
House of Usher
House of Wax
House on Haunted Hill
(don't know if any of these are made in the '50s)

Some Fulci Zombie classics:
Zombi (usually referred to as Zombi 2 as a quasi-sequel to "Dawn of the Dead)
Seven Doors of Death
House by the Cemetery
Black Cat
City of the Living Dead

Some others:
Suspiria
Deep Red
Cat o' Nine Tails
Alien (while it is "sci-fi" it's not necessicarly about the Alien itself, more about the isolation and claustrophobia).
Manhunter
Battle Royale
Tenebre
Seven
May
Cube (the best part of Resident Evil was taken from Cube)
The Devil's Backbone (not sure if it's "horror" by most definitions, but very atmospheric)
A Tale of Two Sisters
Toolbox Murders
The Serpent and the Rainbow
Village of the Damned
The Ugly
Tales From the Crypt (the movie from the '70s)
Cannibal Holocaust (not for some people)
The Crazies
Martin
Puppet Master movies?
Fallen
In the Mouth of Madness
Last House on the Left
Jaws
Re-Animator
Shocker

Also, with "The Ring" and "The Grudge", are you talking American or Japanese version?

[VaultMan]

I cannot believe you left Audition off this list. That was a sick flick. Ack.

Or are you avoiding Japanese horror for the time being?

Alien (while it is "sci-fi" it's not necessicarly about the Alien itself, more about the isolation and claustrophobia).Alien is more horror than sc-fi and is one of the best horror films out there
Also, with "The Ring" and "The Grudge", are you talking American or Japanese version?you have to go with the originals!

Stop it! Youre freakin' me out! :laugh:

[ansel39]

Trust me, I held back, this list could have been much longer. My wife says I'm an encyclopedia of useless knowledge.

mine too:thumbs2:

[Spatial.Archite]

Alien is more horror than sc-fi and is one of the best horror films out there
you have to go with the originals!

I agree on both counts, but some people consider Alien more Sci-Fi than horror (and I suppose the argument can be made). For me, it's all about the atmosphere, the claustrophobia, and fear of the unknown.

[patrickwm68]

All great ideas but I have to keep this list down. There's going to be a sequel to my Horror Elimination when it's done, so I'm purposely leaving out certain films this time around. As you can see the list so far is very long.

[joy_division]

I agree on both counts, but some people consider Alien more Sci-Fi than horror (and I suppose the argument can be made). For me, it's all about the atmosphere, the claustrophobia, and fear of the unknown.take in to account the atmosphere, the chestburster, and the fact that you hardly ever see the full grown alien right until the end. The way that it picks off it's victims one by one without even being seen is classic.

This could have been located anywhere - on a ship at sea, where they found the alien underwater. the fact theat it was in space adds a touch of sci-fi, but to me, alien is my favourite horror film, and when I see lists of best horror films, the only one that beats it, is the exorcist

[joy_division]

Stop it! Youre freakin' me out! :laugh:
5:40 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83ziN2DqdQA)is when I really like it! :confused2

[bat_collector]

Kiri kiri kiri kiri kiri kiri!
:buttrock:

yikes, sends shivers down my back

[bat_collector]

I think we should have

classic horror (for those univeral monter/vincinte price pics

sequals (so nightmare on elm street 3 and h20 get a chance)

foreign horror (j-horror and italian)????

[joy_division]

what about remakes(like the ring) and leave the original japanese ones in?
