happy time

I've heard of quite a lot of those films, but I've only seen a few of them. But then I'm not a horror movie fanatic like you, Neil.

 

Being a search result it loads on forever, so I only looked at the first two or three pages. Most I haven't seen and they all look much of a muchness. But a few stood out. Particularly House. I remember that being a genuinely good film. Creepy, but still within the realms of a sort of comic-book style of horror.

Spoiler

There's an overweight zombie woman running around and he cuts off her head with a spade, but the whole premise is still creepy. He's a writer and he's having a breakdown because of his unresolved issues from the Vietnam War where he had to leave his buddy behind to die. And he's staying in this old house to finish his book, but he's got writer's block. But the house has a sort of portal into his subconscious where all these ghouls start coming out, and then he gets sucked into it. Then the ghouls kidnap his son or something. Then the ghoul of his Vietnam buddy comes back and reminds him that he left him there to die, and the protagonist has to finally decide that it wasn't his fault and he couldn't have saved him.

 

I've seen a few of theses one you recommend,I will have to get round to watching some more,I do love a good or be it bad horror movie
Which would you recommend this time Neil?

 

The scariest thing there was that you used bing.

 

I love the House movies, especially the original and House II: The Second Story. I was always a big fan of the Fright Night films too. And Creepshow, the Evil Dead, Return of the Living Dead, The Gate, The Lost Boys, The Dream Warriors, and...sooo many more. The 80's were awesome for movies!

 

@goploikumax may we please have your opinions on this?

 

I've seen a few of those.

 

They were certainly great for horror movies. I was a big fan of both the Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th series.

 

Because I'm interested in his opinion. Now tell me this - why are you not more interested in his opinion?

 

Yeah, they were both pretty decent franchises for the genre. I preferred the Elm Street films for the most part, but have the complete Friday the 13th collection too. Along with the amazingly long documentary 'Crystal Lake Memories' (which I've still not watched all the way through).

 

WHY NOT??

 

No you

 

The only one I can see on there that I've watched is The Video Dead, which I saw decades ago.
