Description |
| 13 Ghosts |
(re:original) "...William Castle film, which means it's got to be pretty campy" - Damon "13 Ghosts was an interesting concept and reasonably entertaining if you checked your brain at the door but ultimately unmemorable."-Tymme |
| 28 Days Later | "...films that are gory, but primarily deal with the break-down of humanity in bad situations." -Damon |
| The Abominable Dr. Phibes | "fun horror films...(Vincent Price!)" -Damon |
| Alien |
"...although it's more of an action film than a horror film." - Damon "classic horror/suspense movies that should be on anyones watch list for such things."-Tymme |
| Altered States | "...old school...kind of freaked me out..." -Beth |
| Angel Heart | "One of my Favorites... very creepy, with Mickey Rourke and Robert DeNiro. Some people figure it out early, and its not quite a surprise. If you have not seen it, don't read any spoilers. -Peter O. |
| Army of Darkness |
" It's weird gory, funny!" -Rose "wonderful for its camp and silly over acting." -Peter O. |
| Below | "ghost story" -Damon |
| Cabin Fever | "...films that are gory, but primarily deal with the break-down of humanity in bad situations." -Damon |
| The Cell | "...surprisingly good for being a J-Lo film, and had creepy tendencies." -Beth |

"-Irene Branagh and Thompson play a couple who begin to believe they have been reincarnated. They try to unravel how they died the first time around to see if it's possible to stop the cycle from repeating itself. -Damon |
| Dead Alive |
"...one of Peter Jackson's early splatter-humor films. A nice young man discovers that it's really hard to meet new people when your mother is an infectious zombie. It's one of my favorite films, and will appeal to anyone who likes Sam Raimi's Evil Dead/Army of Darkness films."-Damon "...--it's fantastic. It is also a little more splattery..."-Mark "its freakin' hilarious. 'Jour madder ate mah dog!' I wonder if you can overload on creepieness..." -Beth "... one of the bloodiest gore movies I have ever seen...directed by non other than LOTR Peter Jackson flick. I am not really sure horror is the right genre for this movie. Its funny and sick too." -Peter O. |

| The Fallen |
"...is VERY good, along that same line is "The Devil's Advocate". (Also, "The Exorcist") - Rose "...with John Goodman and Denzel Washington. Was not real hugely popular... But has a nice creepiness to concept and I enjoyed it." -Al |
| Flatliners | "a great 80's/early 90's flick with Keifer and co about med students who play with death and resurrection via EKG machines and how horribly wrong it all can go. Creeped me out AND made me feel guilty about being mean to people! Perfect Catholic school movie." - Beth |

| Poltergeist | "classic films..." -Damon |

| The Shining | "...is good, but the book won't let you put the lights out at night for a week." -Rose |
| Signs | "Mel Gibson psychological thriller directed by M. Night Shyamalan. Any of this director's other films (Sixth Sense, Unbreakable) are worth seeing as well." -PeterO. |
| Something Wicked This Way Comes | "...good and creepy and cool (and utterly freaked me out when I was 9. It may well be the source of my spider-fear)" |
| Stir of Echoes |
"Kevin Bacon...1999." - Peter O. "ghost story" -Damon |
| The Tingler | "--about a spinal column that enters others bodies and takes over, CREEEPY!! I mean, it creeps along and crawls up your back.... .OOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" - Rose |
| Touching the Void | "documentary/reenactment... it is, in turns, both horrifying and thrilling." -Damon |
