Hey out there,
I originally posted a similar thread last Feb. here or in the movies section, and just tried posting a reply and could not get it to post, it said invalid thread, maybe too old?
So, I will try to retype my thread here:
I am a big Hammer Studios horror fan.
Every Oct and Feb i watch my Hammer dvd's (this time I will be starting in Sept. in prep for Oct.), its the change of seasons and weather that gets me in the mood for staying indoors and watching t.v. These films have very atmospheric and gothic romantic themes, the wind blowing, the leaves blowing, wind howling, the rain falling, the thunder clapping, the lightning striking, etc, special effects, monster makeup etc
Since my collection of Hammer dvd's is sitting in storage thousands of miles away (i recently moved), I will be ordering some new ones I have yet to see or own.
The old ones I enjoyed were:
Curse of Frankenstein
Frankenstein Must Die
Horror of Dracula
Taste the Blood of Dracula
Dracula Has Risen from the Grave
Scars of Dracula
Dracula A.D. 1972
Satanic Rites of Dracula
The Mummy
Vampire's Kiss
Brides of Dracula
Curse of the Werewolf
Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter
Quatermass and the Pit
Quatermass II
The new Hammer dvd's I will be ordering (some on R2/UK now that i have a region free player and not yet avail in R1/US), of which most I have never seen yet are:
Dracula Prince of Darkness (the 2nd in the Chris Lee series)
Hound of the Baskervilles
Quatermass Experiment
X the Unknown
Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell
Frankenstein Created Woman
Revenge of Frankenstein
Horror of Frankenstein
The Reptile
Rasputin the Mad Monk
The Devil Rides Out
To the Devil a Daughter
Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde
and some others (lesser known)
I will also be ordering (split up between Sept, Oct, Feb) the Universal Monster Legacy Collections (The Wolf Man, Invisble Man, Dracula, Mummy, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Frankenstein).
I recently saw some Vincent Price (and Roger Corman directed) movies on TCM tv channel-- which someday I will order on dvd too:
Abominable Dr Phibes
House of Usher
Pit and Pendulum
Tales of Terror
House of Wax
Masque of the Red Death
Tomb of Leigia
and a few others (there is a Vincent Price box set for reasonable amount coming out soon)
I also like some more recent decades stuff (but no slasher flicks except the original John Carpenter's Halloween) like:
Hellboy
Blade I, II, III
Interview with the Vampire
The Hunger
Lifeforce
Near Dark
The Hitcher
Sleepy Hollow
Nightmare Before Christmas
and a some others (cant recall right this moment)
Anyone out there have a passion for old Hammer horror, or Amicus, or American Pictures Intl., or more recent horror movies?
