reblogging for reference purposes and also so jenny can provide additional commentary
I love the last category “these aren’t good, but I like them” is a huge chunk of my movies. Hatchet is totally good though.
- I think the list lacks actual classics. Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Carnival of Souls, Freaks. Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein. Nosferatu. I love the Black Christmas is on there already but stay away from the remake.
- As a Canadian, I’m throwing in Cube, Hypercube and Cube Zero as well as the entire Gingersnaps series, but at least the first one.
- Needs more Japan! Seriously, if you want fun summery horror movies, look towards Japan. Machine Girl, Tokyo Gore Police, Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein Girl, Versus and Robo-geisha at the very least. If you want older crazy Japanese movies, Hausu.
- If you want more realism Inside, Frontiers, and Them because the French make fucked up films.
