This is dedicated to those of you who love scary movies: Y’all are becoming a bad influence on me.
For three years running now, I’ve put out the call for horror film suggestions in an effort to grow a pair and get over my fear of that which goes bump in the night. Know what subjecting myself to all of these freaky films has done? It’s actually given me an appetite for it! Can you believe that shit?
Lo and behold, I even have a preference, and my preference is for the old and eerie more than it is for the violent and gory. Still, I’m willing to take on most comers.
That’s where you folks come in. I still have gaping gaps in my horror vocabulary.
How bad is it? Consider that I haven’t seen any of the following…
Any Friday the 13th chapter.
Any Nightmare on Elm Street besides 1 and 3.
Any Saw chapter
The original WOLFMAN, MUMMY, and CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON
and the only time I’ve seen AMITYVILLE HORROR was the edited version on AMC
When I mentioned this over the last two years, my faithful readers were good enough to suggest the long list you see here. While i was able to get to a few of them in over the last two autumns (CAT PEOPLE, ROSEMARY’S BABY, both EVIL DEADS, THE FLY, HALLOWEEN, THE DESCENT, and [REC] amongst others) there is a vast number of scary movies left untouched. So dear readers – once again I put this to you.
