Preferably ones that are on DVD.

No Faces of Death stuff either- Documentaries would be cool, but I already know about faces of Death- anyone ever see "Gates of Hell"?

I was really impressed by the great gore this movie had to offer. Fulci is a genious. The scene where a zombie puts a wooden splinter into a girl's eye is well done, you see every bit of it... Great stuff

I bought it in VHS Widescreen, there is the original trailor amongst some other added stuff after the film. I don't think it's available in DVD.

Be shure to check out The Beyond, also, I didn't see it but I hear that it's Fulci's best movie

"Body Double" with Melanie Griffith.

Here's my list of favorites...more than a few of them are foreign, so I hope you don't mind watching dubbing...but they are actually better than most of the American scary movies.

Suspiria--real friggin scary. Made by Dario Argento (Italy). About a helpless little girl who goes off to some dance school way out in the middle of nowhere. The other dancers are getting killed one at a time in awful ways and no one there knows how in the world they'll ever get out.

House by the Cemetery---gory and scary as hell. Made by Lucio Fulci, who also made Zombie (really good too) and Gates of Hell. A stupid family moves into a house once lived in by a maniac doctor who has become undead and is killing anyone who comes down to the basement. Watch for the scene with the monster coming up the stairs and you can only see his yellow eyes glowing as he ascends the stairs.

Gates of Hell---worth honorable mention. Gory doesn't begin to describe this movie. As a trivia point, ask a friend what the goriest movie is in his opinion, then go rent Gates and watch how fast he changes his mind. If this movie doesn't scare and gross you into praying for salvation and protection, nothing will.

The Fog, The Thing---mentioned together because John Carpenter really did a great job scaring people with creepiness rather than shocks. Both movies have to deal with people being chased after by unkillable enemies and being so isolated in ungodly places of the world that they have no place to run away to. Memorable moments that are creepy as hell...The Thing--the blood test. The Fog---the old man's story at the beginning, the voices that come out of the radio when the driftwood drips onto it, and the explanation by the coroner that the man who drowned the night before had been under the water for at least 6 months.

The following movie is extremely hard to find...I had to get a movie supply house to help me find it. It was so scary that I just had to get it and watch it from time to time.
Stupid name, but ultra scary.
"Dread of Death" (has alternate titles that I cannot remember). It's a foreign film too. A few kids decide to go into a haunted house to see if it's haunted for real. If you find this movie, watch the part where the demons come out from under the bed... the girl knows they're under there and is just waiting for them to attack her.

Evil Dead---I think Sam Raimi did this one. A man goes up to a cabin in the middle of some mountains in order to find out how to resurrect a bunch of demons. Creepy.

great movie but not well known... "when a stranger calls"... have you checked the children???

you guys remember the penguin bud ice commercial... the calls are from inside the house??? well thats where that is from... EXCELLENT MOVIE!! will scare you pissless.

There is another evil house movie sort of like Amityville, it stars James Brolin, can't think of the name, it ends with him finding the old lady in the rocking chair in the attic, running outside, jumping in the car and the chimney falls on him.

Hellraiser "Jesus wept!" "Your suffering will be legendary even in HELL!"

HellraiserII "We have such sites to show you!"

HellraiserIII "Welcome to MY last supper!"

Re-Animator "No quote, but there is a head eating out the bitch!!!"

The Exorcist "Help Me"

P.S. My favorite horror movies are "Christine" or "IT." Both were written by Stephen King. Christine is an awesome movie.
