Over the last couple of years I've seen a few of the good old horrors - Psycho, The Birds, Rosemary's Baby and many others. Can anyone recommend some good ones? :D

    The original The Fog, John Carpenters original. Original Omen 1 and 2. Christine - brilliant one! Halloween, Doctor Terror House of Horrors or something, 2 good short stories in that one, 2 not so good. Original Amityville Horror 1 and 2 in fact.

    Friday The 13th Series. That'l do you for now.

    Two B&W film,s that never fail to work for me -
    Dead of Night - portmanteau film with a linking story that is possibly scarier than the individual stories
    Les Diabolique - Classic film that had to suffer a massively inferior remake by US xenophobia mill.

    Witchboard 1986-87 is very good, (when is that getting released on DVD Region 2 anyone) as is Ghosthouse 1 and 2 imo. Late 80's films.

    Hellgate i thought was pretty good, though this and the next one I'd recomend Slaughter High are more like b movie types.

    Creepshow 1 and 2 both have 2 good short stories in them.

    One of the Tales of the Crpyt films was good but I'm not sure under what individual name its called. Its the one with the main female lead from Commando is in it.

    The original Fright Night was very good though that is more horror comedy but still well worth watching as are the first 2 and original Nightmare on Elm Streets.

    Flowers In The Attic though not quite full on horror was a pretty good film of the late 80's that I would reccomend.

    The Hand I think its called seemed pretty good though i only saw it in parts and was always pretty knackered when i did so find it hard to remember but it was about a detached hand coming abck to haunt the person responsible for it being detached I think...........:eek:

    Going right back to silent film era, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919) and Nosferatu (1922) are brilliant.

    I also enjoyed Mr. Sardonicus (1961) and The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971).

    I used to love the climax of that film.
    I don't think this has been on tv for years yet back in the 70s/80s it seemed to be on loads.

    gotta be James Whale's original Frankenstein. A superb, completely original, work of art.
