I organize a movie night ar my work place every other week and I'm try to rotate Drama/Comedy/Action/Horror movies to keep it interesting.
My problem is I'm running out of what I consider good horror movies. I used the last field of 64 as a source for comedy movies, could we do another for horror movies?
Oh please, please, please.
My favorite (not necessarily the best) horror movies in no particular order:
-The Ring
-Candyman
-Doppelganger
-Dracula (yes the one with Keanu Reeves)
-Nightmare on Elm Street
-The Prophecy
-The Grudge - it kind of sucked but there are a few good creepy parts
-Stir of Echoes - not really horror, but its great
-Anything with Ben Stiller is pretty horrific...
I'll optimistically post my tops:
The Exorcist
The Changeling
John Carpenters "The Thing"
Haloween
Exorcist 3
Evil Dead
Jaws
Amityville Horror 2
i hate horror flicks, but I really like suspense movies. Can we modify the category? If so, I'll nominate
The Jagged Edge
I hate myself so much for not following through on this that I created an administrative interface so that
anyone could use to run a field. You could try it now:
http://cellar.org/fieldof64/admin.php?field=asdf
Anyone can use that form to set up this field:
http://cellar.org/fieldof64/64.php?field=asdf
Beta-test it now. The password is "asdf". Creative ain't i.
Aww, don't be a hay-ta, we LOVE it. Thanks!!
Hey, sm, all,
How about the category of SCARY movies NOT (TM)?
I believe there's room under that category for Horror, ("the harrah...) Suspense, Slasher, etc,. Whaddya t'ink?
Agree on the topic and who'll manage it (who'll have the password for it), and I set up the field and send the password to the manager. Then we start a new thread for it and start nominations. Howzat.
In no particular order ...
- The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
- Theater of Blood (my favorite of Vincent Price's films. The Abominable Dr. Phibes is by #2 of his)
- The Haunting (original. there is no need to remake a perfectly good movie)
- The Exorcist
- House of Wax (original again. nothing with Paris Hilton in it can be good, no matter how they kill her.)
- Pitch Black
- Halloween
- Dracula, Prince of Darkness (Christopher Lee ... Hammer Films Dracula)
- Hellraiser
- Dracula (Bela Lugosi)
and, because you can't have one without the others ...
- The Wolfman (Lon Chaney, Jr.)
- The Mummy (Boris Karloff)
- Frankenstein (Boris Karloff)
There are quite a few movies I struggled over because they aren't classically horror ... Psycho, The Birds, Rosemary's Baby, The Legend of Hell House, The Blob, and, of course, any film by William Castle.
I nominate wolf to manage it. :) Ask not what your cellar can do for you...
Wolf has no time to manage such a thing ...
not a big horror fan but:
- The Shining
- Dreamcatcher
- Leprechaun (horror? not sure)
I nominate Silent to run it then. Someone running it is far more important than getting the movie nominations...
I have no problem running it, but my ability to pop in and see when new choices need to be made can be limited some days.
As long as people do not mind an occasional wait between votes...
