    It’s the same with The Goonies!!

  2. Roger Waters - Us And Them


  7. Every year in October I watch at least 31 horror movies as a bit of a challenge to myself. This year, with work being more or less nonexistent thanks to COIVD, I hit my goal fairly early.

    Here's the list, and if anyone is looking for horror recommendations please feel free to ask! I always make sure more than half are first-time views. I've got to figure over the past 10 or so years I've been doing this, I've seen close to 250 different horror movies.

    Anyone spot any favorites?

    Big horror fan here (but not of those slasher/gore nonsense films of the millennials, absolute rubbish and garbage). Give me all the old black & whites any day and some old cult classics..

    Enough to keep you going until next Halloween!!
  9. Yeah Freaks! A classic!
  10. Good looking out @ELIZIUM - I think there are only 4 or 5 on your list that I haven't seen. Remember, I've been doing this 10-12 years now, with my goal of at least 16-17 movies being ones I've never seen before. I've covered a lot of ground

    Lot of classics on your list, and I notice particularly a lot of vampire stories (or at least it seems that way). This year my friends and I did a whole vampire-themed week, with the following:

    Dracula (1931)
    Nosferatu the Vampyre (1978)
    Near Dark (1987)
    30 Days of Night (2007)
    Fright Night Part 2 (1988)
    The Velvet Vampire (1971)
    Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)

    I didn't end up watching each of them, as you can see.
  11. Bela Lugosi rules!

    If I listed all the horror films I have seen then it would take an age. Absolutely loved the genre when I was young and the love has stayed.

    Here in the UK we would have triple bill matinees on a Saturday night when I was teenager. And again on Sunday nights with something called Moviedrome. Great days and many of these broadcasts I still have here all on VHS tape.

    My friend Ben lived in a house that we nicknamed Amityville because of the way it looked. He had the top floor and many years of viewing horror films took place there.

    I have a special love of all the old black and white horror films from the 30's, 40's and 50's. And of course the classics I previously listed. However I really cannot sit through these lame slasher/bloodfest/gore type rubbish films that seems to seep through year after year after year.

    My friend Lyndon (he was in the Spanish band The Sunday Drivers, check them out) and I are massive horror fans and have done similar to what you do with your friends. I think between us we have quite the collection of horror soundtracks on vinyl.

    I would be interested in any recommendations you may have of horror films made since 2000 onward. I may have missed some real good ones and know I should not paint the contemporary movies all with the same aforementioned disdain.
