"I tend to like black and white horror films that focus more on atmosphere than jump scares or gore - Frankenstein, Island Of Lost Souls, Night Of The Demon." In the colour era, films by John Carpenter (The Thing, Christine) and David Cronenberg (Shivers, Rabid, Videodrome). | |||

"I'm a huge horror film fan, and movie collector. Depending on what genres you like within Horror I could give you a dozen suggestions at least. My favourite Horror is anything from John Carpenter, more ambient horror than shock horror, or blood horror. What sub genres interest you?" I'm crazy on slashers in all honesty haha, think iv seen nearly all his films it's hard to pick a fav from his work but halloween is definitely a stand out. More action based I'm also a big fan of big trouble in little China and assault on Precinct 13. I'm also a massive collector haha loving alot of the new arrow 4K re releases. | |||

"I tend to like black and white horror films that focus more on atmosphere than jump scares or gore - Frankenstein, Island Of Lost Souls, Night Of The Demon." I love alot of the early black and white horrors, anything universal monsters is always a treat. I think bela lugosi didn't get as much credit as Boris karloff did (both are amazing actors) but was a treat to see Bela pop up in island kf lost souls as didn't know he was in it when I first watch it. | |||

" Shivers was my first cronenberg film and if I remember correctly is that the sex parasites and its filmed in Canada? His films always leave me feeling uneasy but I guess that's the point haha. Videodrome is brilliant! Long live the new flesh! Iv yet to see his new film crimes if the future | |||

"I've said it on here before, Session 9 is the best psychological horror film I have ever seen, hardly anyone has ever heard of it, but it is so good." Remember renting that one almost 20 years ago and being thoroughly disappointed. That's the one where cleaners or something are sent to clean an old prison, or psychiatric place? | |||

"I forgot to answer the questions… Whats your favourite horror film? A tie between Dawn Of The Dead / Blair Witch Project Do you have any recommendations? - I like the VHS movies. Kinda low budget, sort of trashy, and that’s exactly how I like horror to be. Whats the worst horror film you have ever seen and why? Halloween 3 was awful and made no sense Any less well-known horror your mad about and wish more people had seen? - switchblade romance " Let me add Climax to the recommendations too! Genuinely unsettling and hard to watch | |||

"Hi! I'm abit of a horror film enthusiast and looking to find others who are too. Whats your favourite horror film? Do you have any recommendations? Whats the worst horror film you have ever seen and why? Any less well-known horror your mad about and wish more people had seen? (Jack)" Favourite: Not really one specifically but as a whole the Saw franchise. I love the gore and the story as a whole. The spinoff films are shite however. Recommendations: Sinister. It's a slow burner but has some real shock-factor moments. Lesser known: Wouldn't say it was lesser known but A Quiet Place 1&2. Quitely understated from most people I know but a cinematic marvel (in my opinion). Hope these help! ![]() | |||

"Antichrist is a top shelf banger! It's a bit psychological, and you see a penis find it's way into a vajayjay at the start. It stars "willem defoe" and apparently he's junk was that big they used a stunt penis because it was off putting using he's." That's going on the watch list haha Willem defoe is usally good in anything like, loved him in the lighthouse | |||

"My favourite horror recently has been “black summer” season 1. I’ve watched it about 4 times. A lot of the criticisms that people give that show (lack of dialogue, simple story, no depth to characters) are the exact reason I like it! You can tell that it’s totally intentional that it’s stripped back to the bare bones. Nothing but running and hiding… There are a few very intense episodes and scenes. And some incredible direction and editing too." I watched the first ep and really enjoyed it, il have to go back and watch the full season. Iv always been a fan of George A. Romero's work in the zombie genre. | |||

"Horror films from Hammer films with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee to Martyrs and The Vanishing. B Movie rubbish (but still enjoyable) Night of the Lepus (Giant Rabbits) The Orphanage, Audition if you want foreign chills. I personally found The Blair Witch Project disturbing when I first saw it. Already mentioned but Night of the Demon (It’s in the trees it’s coming’ is a great shout and a recommendation ![]() Love anything hammer put out in all honesty haha especially if Peter Cushing or Christopher Lee was in it, and both of them was a match made in heaven or would Hell be more appropriate haha Thanks for the recommendations ! | |||

Every aspect of it is pure shit. So bad its just bad. Any less well-known horror your mad about and wish more people had seen? - Daughters of Darkness (1971) Belgian erotic vampire masterpiece years ahead of its time. " The Wickerman is brilliant, love the atmosphere of that film and the ending is pure horror! Thanks for the recommendations! Is the second exorcist the one with Linda blare returning as a teen or have I made that up? Haha | |||

"My favourite horror recently has been “black summer” season 1. I’ve watched it about 4 times. A lot of the criticisms that people give that show (lack of dialogue, simple story, no depth to characters) are the exact reason I like it! You can tell that it’s totally intentional that it’s stripped back to the bare bones. Nothing but running and hiding… There are a few very intense episodes and scenes. And some incredible direction and editing too. It took a while for me to dig this shiw. I felt like the acting wasnt great and, as you say, i felt dissatisfied with character development. But man, by the end of that first season I was totally invested and the chaotic steady cam shoot style totally won me over having lost faith in the walking dead. Which at a certain point I also loved. Deeply!. Like I had all the comics before Andrew Garfield even knew it was a thing." Andrew Lincoln | |||

"One I'd recommend? Well, there's a few. Tucker and Dale Vs Evil is fantastic - brilliantly done but not overdone. Midsommar but I think a lot have probably heard about it now. Train to Busan is similar. Wake Wood for a more recent Hammer Horror. Ohhh. The Strange Thing About The Johnsons for something a lot darker. Korean films like The Host. Or Thirst. Both have that bit more about them. And Dumplings. I love horror films. ![]() Tucker and Dale vs Evil was hilarious and reminded me a lot of Ash vs Evil Dead (which I also love). The Strange Thing...sounds...er...unique? ![]() | |||

"https://www.imdb.com/list/ls050522645?ref_=ext_shr_lnk" If that reply was to me, there’s only 2 Korean movies on there. My point being that most Korean horrors don’t get remade, and the two that have weren’t even good ones. | |||

"Night of the demon is a classic. 1958 some great actors, based on the Mr James story casting g the runes. Real atmosphere " I really love the Demon. Of course it doesn't look real but it's uncanny, really nightmarish, helped hugely by the black and white photography. | |||

"I tend to like black and white horror films that focus more on atmosphere than jump scares or gore - Frankenstein, Island Of Lost Souls, Night Of The Demon." I cannot find Night of the demon anywhere. I purchased it years ago on DVD but lost it it's not on any streaming service I can find. Love it, very atmospheric | |||

"I remember watching candy man as a child but most horrors just feel dull now, platform wasn’t a bad time passer " Have you read the original book/listened to the audiobook of candy man? It’s great. Really creepy, and it’s set in Liverpool (the movie changed the location to America for a bigger audience) | |||

"There was a 1980s BBC version of the woman in black that was excellent.. The movie a few years back was poor. Shame because it's a great story right out of the Mr r r James stable. Ring is a good film, the original japanese one very scary. " The TV version was broadcast in 1989 and was released on DVD/bluray last year (or year before). It is very good. | |||

I love the episodic structure, the stripped back and spare dialogue, the long and extravagant camera moves. It’s like a scary, immersive zombie experience rather than a conventional narrative. | |||
