HELLO from ENGLAND

[AllHellBreakingLoose]

just signed up to a couple of new forums, this being one

hi to y'all

wassup?!

[Red Hot]

Bloody Greetings! Welcome to our horrific family!

[Cyclops]

Welcome AHBL,where about in England are you from,and who's your favourite horrorist?

[AllHellBreakingLoose]

Londononia!!

Favourite horror, hmmm, where do i start, Fulci/Argento, Elm Street/Leprechaun/Halloween/Fri 13th Movies, thats for a start

Yourself?

[AllHellBreakingLoose]

Just put Total Recall on, not really horror but ah well, great movie

Sharon Stone just came out with 'Give me something to dream about'

i would!!

[Cyclops]

Well i'm originally from the midlands but now live in Darlington,near Durham.
My favourite horror is what i call quiet horror. None of that gory blood and guts stuff,can proudly say I've never seen any of the Friday the 13th movies apart from the first one-that was enough! I like to be scared,be given the creeps,rather than repulsed. Loved the Ring and The Grudge and thought Blair Witch pretty good too. Oh and I like The Fog,love John Carpenter movies! I want to read some gothic horror too and I'm also a big fan of science fiction.

[AllHellBreakingLoose]

Sure John Carpenter movies are always cool, The Fog is a classic, pity they had to re-make it which i dread to think what thats like

I like all the Friday 13ths myself but ah well

Havent seen the Original versions of the Ring or The Grudge, need to though as the re-makes were terrible i could only hope for the originals to be good, esp the Grudge, nothing remotely horrifying about some japanese chicks face popping out of the darkness every 30 mins or so, hope the original had more to it than that

Now Werewolf movies are where it's at, Company of Wolves and American Werewolf, classics!!

[Cyclops]

Oh i actually thought the Grudge to be pretty creepy,especially the japanese girl,freaky! I didn't realise they were remakes tho,well no i thought the versions we saw were the english versions re done for an english audience. Thought the originals were filmed the same year,a bit like the Hulk re do.

Ju-on: The Grudge (呪怨) is a 2003 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_films_of_2003) Japanese (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinema_of_Japan) "J-Horror (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J-Horror)" film, written and directed by Takashi Shimizu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takashi_Shimizu). The film is the third entry in the Ju-on (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ju-on) series and is the first film theatrically released (the first two entries were direct to video productions). The film was released in Japan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan) on January 25 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_25), 2003 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003) and has spawned several sequels and an American remake (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remake) titled The Grudge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grudge) which was released in 2004 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004).


Havent seen the Japanese one but i'd personally hope it was better which originals usually are

'The Burning' is a classic horror you may wish to check, a few clips on Youtube you could take a look at, Tom Savini on special effects and some amazing death scenes great revenge story

[Cyclops]

I want to see some Edgar Alan Poe filmed,that kind of stuff,[also lovecraft but want to read some first,if i can find any!] but i don't think gothic horror is in at the moment,its all slasher movies at the mo,bleh,boring. Saw I was a good one but after that they get un watchable.

[Cyclops]

Just looked up The Burning on the Wiki,1981 slasher about a caretaker called Cropsy taking bloody revenge,not my thing.

[AllHellBreakingLoose]

ah Youtube's always more reliable, you see the actual trailer on there not just a heap of words

its a great movie

So what other horrors are you into?

[Cyclops]

Ah can't watch you tube on my phone...what other horrors do i like,well Amytiville was good,both old and new. Then there's The Thing,carpenter again. Err,let me think of some. Carrie,The Pit and the Pendulum,The Raven, IT, loads of others but can't think. Basically any film that concentrates on being scary rather than gory.

[AllHellBreakingLoose]

Ah im too old for getting scared!!

Just like horror for a good bit of gore or story

Well how about CHRISTINE? that is a lack of gore but great movie with a great rock n roll score to boot!

[Cyclops]

How old is too old? I mean i'm 41 going on 14...
Oh and Christine was...ok. Not at all scary tho. Not one for my shelf.

[AllHellBreakingLoose]

im 29, thats old

Christine is Great!

if you want scarey check out a movie by the name of PURPLE PEOPLE EATER, its kinda sci fi also, pretty hardcore movie

[Cyclops]

[joker jr.]

Welcome, and is that avatar from Dr. Moreau's House Of Pain?

[AllHellBreakingLoose]

oh come on now, like you don't find it scarey

[Cyclops]

oh come on now, like you don't find it scarey

Yea me knees are a knocking,fear the purple one!

[AllHellBreakingLoose]

well then

How about Puppet Master?

That's a great scarey movie, lil puppets running round killing people

and GHOULIES, thats creepy

[Cyclops]

Well i know a SF film called Puppet Masters based on a book by Heinlein about aliens latching onto people's brains but thats not horror. Never heard of Ghoulies

[AllHellBreakingLoose]

Puppet Master is a horror film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horror_film) released in 1989 by newly-formed Full Moon Features (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_Moon_Features). The film was rated R for strong graphic horror/fantasy violence, a strong sex scene with nudity, and strong language. The popular film would eventually spawn 8 sequels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequel).


The Ghoulies films were a Gremlins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gremlins)-like American horror-comedy film series in the 1980s and 1990s centered around a group of evil little demons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demons) usually summoned by Satanic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanic) worshipers. The Ghoulies films are thought to be Gremlins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gremlins) rip-offs, but Ghoulies actually started development before Gremlins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gremlins).[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghoulies#cite_note-0) Perhaps coincidentally, Ghoulies (spelled goolies) is also a British (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_English) slang term for Testicles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testicles).[



In my opinion GHOULIES was scarier

[Cyclops]

Puppet Master sounds not my thing to be honest,stuff like Poltergeist is better.

[AllHellBreakingLoose]

Well how about CRITTERS then?

[Cyclops]

Sorry but fluffy looking balls don't scare me ;)

[AllHellBreakingLoose]

GARBAGE PAIL KIDS The Movie?

[Cyclops]

Now having to sit thru that would be horrifying!
Well i just watched The Orphanage,a nice classy ghost story,how they should be made!

[AllHellBreakingLoose]

Ive seen GHOST with patrick swayze, thats a scarey ghost film, had me run out the house down the pub
