SarahJane, that's a fantastic list! I'll have to get on those. swt - I have that Invasion of the Saucer Men poster hanging in my dining room! Pretty much anything released by Something Weird tops my list. I also dig the foreign ones - way more visceral (less trashy, more actually scary/fucked up) ... The Audition was pretty creepy, as was Acacia (South Korean).

I just picked up Freaks, Cannibal Holocaust, Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Salo for a Halloween Party, but I think we decided to do an Iggy Pop night instead so we're watching Suck and Dead Man.

White Zombie - with Mr. Lugosi by United Artists.
Roger Corman's Wasp Woman is an all time fave!
The first Halloween (John Carpenter) is awesome (Zombie's version is amazing too).

Prince of Darkness. It didn't scare me while the movie was on (Alice Cooper has a bit part) but a half-hour after the movie ended it started getting into my head.

Yippee! I love Acacia. Can't say the storyline itself was amazing, but the visuals more than make up for it. I'd love to decorate my place to like like one of those sets! I love Takashi Miike too : ).

Christy Cromwell is beginning to think her stepfather is trying to kill her mother, and who is Brenda Bowles? About as sleazy and trashy as it can get.

And this (below) may not have happened if Randy wasn't being such a horny prick. (Creepshow 2)

[MATT GALLUCCI]

Any Hammer film or Corman flik works for me. TCM has been running Hammer stuff all Oct. Last Fri/Sat. morning-Night of the Lepus!!! Another good one I hadn't seen in a while. But, you can never go wrong in the Trash/Sleaze dept. with the ....Living Dead films by Corman. My true faves!!!!!!!!!!!!! An earlier reply about Beast of Yucca Flats is right on!

i would have to say THE GATE, where the kids play the metal record and open up the gate behind their house and they get attacked by demons.

[CHRIS HERNANDEZ]

the only re-make that was somewhat descent and true to the original has to be THE HILLS HAVE EYES which is hard to compare cause the original is so awesome, but if your looking for a re-make i would say this is the most acceptable.

[b0nes tra5hyf]

"what the hell was that blob of shit anyway?"

i don't know, hope its not a true story.
Ha ha, maybe there's a written version of it with more detail?

Heck yeah! That movie has a rockin' soundtrack as vell.

It's "good" like the remake of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE was good, which is to say there is no comparison between the remake and the original, mainly because it panders to popular stylistic cinematic techniques and cliches rather than offering anything new or interesting. Maybe pointless is the word to descibe it.

Probably a stupid question, but is the 2009 remake of Last House on the Left any good?

Maniac's great, I mean that fuckin' Tom Savini headshot! I tend to watch mostly older stuff this time of year, but I love Texas Chainsaw, Last House, Cannibal Holocaust, all that Italian stuff. Demons is great, Tony the Pimp should've had his own spin off.

Oh and there's a nutty old film also called Maniac I need to see again. I don't remember much about it apart from a mad old scientist laughing a lot and popping out a cat's eye.
