26. The Crow (1994) A rock musician is brought back from the dead to avenge his and his girlfriend's murder. This movie is dark and creepy and full of action. It is also sad. Brandon Lee, the star of the film and Bruce Lee's son, was accidentally killed on the set during filming. The movie was a hit with the critics and at the box office at the time of its release and over the years it has gained a strong cult following.

This was a great film. Too bad Brandon Lee was killed while filming it. He would have been a huge star after this.

27. State Of Emergency (2011)

A low budget zombie (technically not zombies because they are still alive so let’s just say, zombie-like) movie. There is not a lot of zombie violence and gore in this but there is plenty of tension. The movie is more character based than effects and violence based. A small group of survivors are holed up in a large warehouse waiting for help to get them out of the infected area. 7/10


I saw this one. It was fairly enjoyable.

32) The Innocents- Oh my gosh! Thanks Dana Jean and blunthead for the rec, because this movie was dang CREEPY! I scurried up the stairs after watching it, heart pounding :) It reminded me in tone of The Woman in Black (or I should probably say that TWiB reminded me of The Innocents) and The Others. So, so good! This will definitely go on my regular rotation when I want to creep myself out.

I figure I speak for both Deej and I when I say You're welcome! Yes, I love The Innocents, as well as The Woman in Black. I highly recommend the book The Turn of the Screw by Henry James, which The Innocents is based on.

I started watching The Innocents on Saturday night and got so scared I had to turn it off. I watched the rest of the movie Sunday morning in full daylight :) I love gothic mysteries... I just can't watch them at night lol

Edit: I just checked my vcr and it was The Uninvited I watched. Now I'm dying to see The Innocents :)

28. The Returned (2013)

This one is more of a drama with zombies. ;-D A drug is being used to keep the zombie virus at bay so that the infected are leading normal lives. But as the supply of the drug starts to get low, panic and chaos set in. The uninfected are scared of the infected and there is the issue of who gets the drugs that are left and who doesn't? 6/10

I quite enjoyed that one! Have you watched the French TV series of the same name? No relationship, but interesting!

27. Are You Afraid of the Dark? (1992) I watched some episodes from this kiddie TV show from the nineties. It was nostalgic for me; my daughters loved this anthology series when they were growing up. The shows were well made and had just the right amount of "horror" for a young audience. I actually wouldn't mind seeing more episodes!

22. The Wicker Man -- 1973 -- Good lord. I'e never seen this one. Who in the f**k realized it was a damn horror musical, with a fair amount of nudity and totally sexual? Not me. Weird, but interesting.


21. Village of the Damned -- 1960 -- I really love these old black and whites. And that main kid is so friggin' creepy. Love his little accent.
20. The Farm House -- 2008 -- Steven Weber is in this. Pretty disturbing premise. Dying baby involved. Unsettling.
19. The Innocents -- 1961 -- A great old standby for me. I can't NOT watch this. Perfect.
18. Big Driver -- 2014 -- Maria Bello. She did A brilliant job. She carried this story through to the end. Nicely done.
17. Let The Right One In -- 2008 -- I thought this was a very atmospheric and artistic vampire movie. And from the viewpoint of children and a focus on their friendship was brilliant.
16 -- The Revenge of Frankenstein -- 1958 -- Peter Cushing. Okay. Another one of those Frankenstein movies.
15. From a Whisper to a Scream (The Offspring) -- 1987 -- An anthology with Vincent Price and a host of other familiar character actor faces. Not bad.
14. The Strange and Deadly Occurence -- 1974 -- Robert Stack and Vera Miles. Yeah, a little bit creepy but nothing to get too excited about.
13. Nightmare In Wax -- 1969 --A familiar face in Cameron Mitchell. Reminiscent somewhat of House of Wax starring Vincent Price, this is an okay story. Changed just enough to make it different, but totally 60s cheese.
12. The Invitation --2003 -- Okay, this one is on Netflix. I understood the premise of the film. But, I'm thinking I dozed off or something. I just didn't think their secrets were that well revealed, connected and WTH? Someone watch this one and then come tell me exactly what was going on. A couple I could figure out, but a couple -- I'm still scratching my head.
11. Asylum -- 1972 -- Another in the anthology grouping. Pretty good.
10. House on Haunted Hill -- 1959 -- Vincent Price -- Old time standby movie. When that old lady comes gliding in with claws at the ready to scare that girl, man I laugh!
9. House of Evil -- 1978 -- Joanna Pettet and Richard Crenna star in this one. Not that great.
8. Creature from Black Lake -- 1976 --I have been looking for this movie for years! I couldn't remember the name nor could I remember much of the plot, but I kept googling different things -- well, I searched in youtube with different wordings and it would pull up movies and I would scan the list looking for this. And lo and behold, there it was, a still shot I recognized! I saw this when it first came out in the theaters with a friend and we were so scared! And of course, loved the pretty dark haired boy who plays one of the main characters. Rewatching it, oh man, not so great. Not horrible, but very b flicky. In checking out the two lead characters, both of them have died young. so sad. Jack Elam is in this -- such a great character actor. One of the best things about this movie is the one character's name -- Pawhoo. :smile2:
7. Dr. Terror's House of Horrors -- 1965 --This is another British anthology I like. Cushing, Donald Sutherland and familiar faces throughout.
6. Monster Club-- 1981-- not that great, but fun.
5. Vault of Horror -- 1973 -- One of my favorite of the old British groupings.
4. The House that Dripped Blood -- 1971 -- Staying true to the British anthologies. Enjoyed.
3. Torture Garden -- 1967 -- thanks for the heads up on this one skimom2 . I absolutely love old British anthology movies. I thought I'dd seen them all. Not the best in genre, but entertaining. Will be watching the house that dripped blood for tomorrow--another one I haven't seen!
2. John Dies In The End -- 2012 -- Very weird little movie.
1. The Legend of Hell House -- 1973 -- with Roddy McDowall. I don't think I need to say anything else.
