October Horror Movie Picks - Part 1?
Okay, so my posts lately have been a bit too serious. Time to lighten things up.
How about a movie review? I'm a huge fan of B horror films. I watched a freebie on FearNet last night called The Slaughter. I highly recommend it. It's like a horror-comedy (replete with brain eating zombies and semi-chaos feminine Cthulu type mythos), though the comedy doesn't really come in until later in the movie. Of course the dialogue is bad enough to make you laugh throughout. And the special effects are deliciously cheesy. Worth the 90 minutes it runs for. Or just put it on for background noise.
Another B Horror Classic must is Satan's Cheerleaders. If you haven't seen Satan's Cheerleaders then you haven't seen a beautiful 70's occult B horror flick.
If you want some real creepy stuff that's kinda out of the ordinary, check out
Suspiria. Also worth checking out Spellbinder [VHS] (I don't even know if this one is on DVD except for in Australia). Now of course there are always the old classics, like The Omen, The Exorcist, and Amittyville Horror (none of that remake shit). 
I really do wish they'd make more occult horror films. They're my favorite (if you couldn't tell). I even liked Satan's School for Girls. Give me young adults, Hollywood style Satanic cults and I'm a happy camper.
I'm also a huge fan of haunted house movies. There aren't enough good haunted house movies.
Oh - and The Wicker Man (not the new one - the classic one!) is always a good choice, too. And surprise, surprise - most of these are not overly gory IMHO. If you want splatter-gore just get a slasher movie. I prefer psychological horror to splatter-gore any day. There might be a part 2 to this post. We'll see. If the mood strikes...
So what are your favorite horror films? If you have any to suggest I'm all ears. Especially haunted houses or Demons or Satanic Cults and Hell Mouths. Bring it!
