Halloween Horror Binge

What if I go for decade?

1900s: A Panicky Picnic (1909)
1910s: Suspense. (1913)
1920s: The Monster (1925)
1930s: The 9th Guest (1934)
1940s: The Uninvited (1944)
1950s: The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953)
1960s: The Masque of the Red Death (1964)
1970s: Terror of Frankenstein (1977)
1980s: Angst (1983)
1990s: Storm of the Century (1999)
2000s: Pontypool (2008)
2010s: The Eyes of My Mother (2016)
2020s: The Wolf of Snow Hollow (2020)

I'm not sure why people rate it low. I thought it was really good claustrophobic horror.

Lesser known horror films I would recommend:

Bed of the Dead (2016)
The Curse of the Cat People (1944)
Devil Doll (1964)
Doctor X (1932)
Evils of the Night (1985)
The House on Sorority Row (1983)
Kaijû sôshingeki (1968)
Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural (1973)
The Lure (2015)
The Maid (2005)
Massacre at Central High (1976)
Midnight Movie (2008)
Mikey (1992)
Naked Fear (2007)
Night of the Demon (1980)
The Shiver of the Vampires (1971)
Thirteen Women (1932)
Two Orphan Vampires (1997)
Theater of Blood (1973)
Tormented (1960)
You Better Watch Out (1980)

I'm not sure why people rate it low. I thought it was really good claustrophobic horror.

In the last year, I've seen two found footage films that have had some extremely claustrophobic sequences (Blair Witch and The Borderlands). Don't know if I can stomach another one of those

The actress in Blair Witch really sells that scene - it gets me every time because she is just absolutely losing her mind.

Totally agree. I'm a big fan of the original, but that scene alone probably pushed this one over the hump for me.

Comedy horror: Crush the Skull (2015)

The entire film is much better than it has any right to be, IMO. I went in expecting a total turd, but have watched it multiple times at this point.

Yesssssss! You know how I love Crush the Skull (and they also have two very funny Crush the Skull short films on YouTube).




Also, StillMellow, if you've never seen Kairo (aka Pulse), highly recommended.

I've only seen it once, but it was last year and I was pleasantly surprised. Here's my review.

Lesser known horror films I would recommend:


The Curse of the Cat People (1944)

Doctor X (1932)

The House on Sorority Row (1983)

Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural (1973)
The Lure (2015)

The Shiver of the Vampires (1971)

Theater of Blood (1973)

The Wolf of Snow Hollow was much better than I expected. It's like if "The Snowman" didn't suck.

It's a lot more about an alcoholic police officer completely unraveling than the murder itself, but it still has plenty of scares and gore. It's the sort of film that wouldn't have worked better if it was more sympathetic to the protagonist. He's a complete assh***, who deserves the fallout, but you still feel for him. It's a difficult line to tread and the movie does it well.
