Having my younger cousins over(14-16)for a Halloween party and trying to get some good movies for them. Iv got tons of classics like Braindead, TCM and night of the Living Dead. But I need a few newer movies as well. Have some like Turistas and Hills have Eyes 1/2 but hoping for more.

If you want to reccomend classics too its fine, even if I dont show them to them Ill watch em myself hehe.

[quote name='Zen Davis']I would add They Live.[/QUOTE]

Been a long time since I saw that hehe. Anything newer though? I had the kids over for horror movies before and they complained about the special effects, lighting etc etc in most of the old horror movies. Im going to make them suffer through a few of my favs, but I want to have a few newer ones for them as well.
 
It's hard to recommend anything good, if you're throwing this picture show for babies. :|

Both of them watch stuff that makes me flinch anyways. Marry is really goth and tries to shock everyone saying really horrible stuff. I know in her free time she watches some really messed stuff on the net so im not concerned with showing her a really gory movie.

Personally I divide horror into two catergories - gory and supernatural.

I prefer the supernatural horror myself. Something like "The Ring" or "The Shining" - sure there are a few dead bodies but nothing like torture or excessive blood and guts.

I think for teens the best horror movies would be:
Alien
Aliens
John Carpenter's The Thing

Well there are many types of Horror. Stuff like the Ring or The shining I usually think of psychological, thrillers or mind fucks since they focus more on making you wonder when something is going to jump out.

Having you guys mention the thing reminds me that I need to play the video game version. Bought it like 5 years ago and have yet to play it.
 
i have to recommend the original Dawn of the Dead since the mall it took place in is literally 5 minutes away from me...

Well you mentioned she was gothic so I figured I would throw it in there, especially if she doesn't mind saying shocking things (which I would presume is just for the attention). That ending just bitchslaps you. ;)

/nod its just for the attention. She does it most when people are ignoring her, and the stuff she says is obviously just for shock value. She is EXACTLY like me when I was that age...and heading down the same bad path. She isn't my cousin, shes my fiancees cousin and she has a huge crush on me. I doubt it will make a difference but after the movies and when Trevor conks out I think im going to try having a talk with her.

And cochese preposition doesnt sound scary per say but deffintly sounds like an interesting film. Ill check it out.

That's a great game - I would advise playing at night so the effect is better.

To be honest, it wasn't all that frightening, but it sure was damn interesting.

I knew a couple of people like her. Save The Green Planet is another good film that might interest them. I don't know if you've heard of that.

LMAO. Priceless.
 
Meh just ignore him I do. Yes he was making a smart ass joke about my grammar. Im used to it. Like I always say Id rather be the person that cant use proper grammar then the asshole making an issue out of the person that cant.
 
Since I doubt these kids have seen many of these, you should just have a 90's teen horror movie marathon. Start with Scream, follow it up with "I Know What You Did Last Summer", and end with everyones favorite 90's horror movie (insert sarcasm) The Blair Witch.

But I always recommend a good Zombie flick as well.
 
[quote name='whoknows']So are you looking for gory horror movies or just scary ones?[/QUOTE]

Doesnt matter. Both are good.

And E_G heh ill pass I didnt care for any of those movies personally...and Blair Witch is one of the most overrated pieces of shit ever.
 
If you want a lot of gore, TCM: The Beginning has a ton of gore and is pretty disturbing overall.

I say it's worth watching even though a lot of people wouldn't agree.

Agreed most people seem to think the first two TCMs were great but then it was just crap. I liked the ones made in 90's and 2000s as well.

The first one was ok, but definitely overrated I thought. I'm sure back then it was really shocking to see all that, but nowadays it's not much compared to other movies, mainly due to special effects have advanced A LOT since then.

Main reason why I think
The new TCM movies are better. Better special effects=better TCM movie since it's not like the TCM movies ever relied on story to begin with :p

It's about being gory and disturbing, and I thought that the newer ones did it better, especially the setting. Of course I get flamed for saying things like that though, hence the spoiler tags :lol:

troll

[/QUOTE]


I've never seen Troll, but Troll 2 is hilariously dumb. I haven't seen it in probably 15 years, but I still think about Nilbog milk all the time. Here's a great quote from IMDB about it:

"Upon arrival of their new home, they discover a nice meal is already set out for them. Its green and looks like vomit, so of course they set down at the table to eat this "delicious" food. But then Joshua's Granpa's ghost comes out of nowhere to warn Josh that the food is dangerous as it has been made by the Goblins. So how does Josh save the day? Gets up on the table and takes a piss all over their food of course!"

what made the original tcm scary to me was how shocking it all was. that one scene where leatherface jerks open the door and pops that guy in the head was awesome and then slams the door shut frekin amazing. its one of the few filsm that truly stands up to time. now the sequel is one i dont get the hype for that damn movie was crap.


oh yeah a few quirky horror films you might like are

motel hell ( kinda of a low rent tcm)

waxwork

tourist trap ( they remade this i believe with paris hilton the remake is crap)

CHUD

munchies ( generic gremlins)

killer clowns from outer space ( could have been creepier but could be very scary if youre afraid of clowns)


oh yeah and of course IT another great clown horror flick.

fright night is a good movie too.
 
I don't recommend The Shinning as someone did earlier because it was a spoof on one of The Simpsons' Tree House of Horror episodes. However, The Shining, with Jack Nicholson, is good.
Halloween, Friday the 13th, Cujo, Christine, Evil Dead. Go with the classics. New stuff is either ridiculously stupid or bad remakes of classics.

You say that like The Shinning was bad.
 
killer klowns from outer space
the thing
re-animator
vampires (john carpenter)

I dont' think anyone's mentioned the Exorcist (?)

I saw a good monster movie recently; a kind of Korean godzilla.

The Host

First, you beat them for their insulance. Have them watch the original THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD, thats a good creepy movie. Or the original House on Haunted Hill, also creepy. If they object to no CGI or split heads and brains, you beat them again.

Second, you lecture them that the stupid horror movies that they are watching today can't hold a candle to the insane genius that came from days past.

Which is probably why every "new" horror movie is an exceptionally lame remake of an old, classic one.

For what its worth, I always found movies like "Chucky", "Ghoulies"...basically anything where the evil in it is something whos ass I could kick even drunk and dressed in nothing but daiseys, to be laughably bad.
The Exorcist was never scary to me, and given the choice I'd much rather sit through The Omen (the original!) than the evil demon in a girl (yawwwwn).

TO me, the only movie that has ever actually scared me....as in sent shivers up my spine...was Poltergeist. It starts off creepy, then gets kinda silly when the ghosts seem harmless...but then it all gets dark and semi-biblical and
then you've got rotting corpses busting out of the ground and trees trying to eat children and.....see that to me was scary. Seeing at 12pm on the night it opened, when I was like 12 years old...was also scary :)
Another scary movie is ALIEN....its like the ultimate exercise in film Pacing....an unrelenting tension that never breaks until the last seconds of the movie....thats awesome, awesome film-making.

Today's horror movie just turns up the soundtrack to 11 to let you know you're supposed to be "startled and fraid"

I CALL BULLSHIT! :D

troll 2 was complete crap but the horrible acting and cheap sxf made it funny. the first troll was a pretty scary film when i was a kid. its worth checking out if you have never seen it and you will see theres a huge gap in the budget between each film.
