Im a hardcore horror fan and i prefer to watch 70/80s horror films. Movies such as Evil Dead and Dead Alive are the typical gruesome movies that i like. Im looking for more of these types of "B" horror films, can anybody help me out and name a few?

[Darthmaul33]

Hmmm...

The Hills Have Eyes
The Sentinel
The Brood
Last House on the Left
Scanners

...to name a few.

the people under the stairs that was pretty good

[cobia123]

I saw the people under the stairs, I thought it was a pretty good movie. Ive been dying to see the hills have eyes. I was thinking of collecting all the friday the 13th, hellraiser, and texas chainsaw massacre movies. I already have all the nightmare on elm streets.

[Darthmaul33]

Yeah man, I still need to get the Friday the 13th set. I'll wait to find it used. Are into John Carpenter? I'd suggest watching, if you haven't, Prince of Darkness, and the Thing. Good flicks.

Prince of Darkness definatley kicks a$$. If ya want a legitmate "B" movie, Check out Motel Hell. Phantasm is another great one.

Completely forgot Phantasm and Motel Hell...both classics!

[cobia123]

Ive heard alot of John Carpenter but never seen his movies, ive also read up on phantasm but have never got around to watching it.

[Orlock182]

Fright Night and The thing are two of my favs. Day of the dead rules as well... Surpised no one mentioned the Zombie movies .... Ohh and return of the living dead still scares the hell out of me

[cobia123]

I own fright night and i thought it was a pretty decent movie, cool ending. I love zombie movies (return of the living dead, night of the living dead, dawn of the dead--old and new). I bought the new Dawn of the Dead and i think i have the older version because i rented it and never gave it back

[Nasburado]

never seen the hills have eyes but see it at wal-mart all the tiem, what's it about?

[madman1366]

Re-Animator
Terror Train
Luther the Geek
Shocker
Maximum Overdrive
Happy Hell Night
The Serpent and the Rainbow
It's Alive!
Bad Dreams
Near Dark


Those are some good flicks, I'm sure I can come up with more but that's enough for now.

Maximum Overdrive is so good i love that movie, i have it for VHS, dont know if its out on DVD. Re-Animator is also a great one. I would like to see terror train or Its Alive, i see them at rental stores alot.

[cobia123]

Wow, 2 movies that i havent seen in a while, but would love to see again are Gremlins, and Gremlins 2:The New Batch, i remember that i loved those movies.

They needed tomake a third one.. I think the time for this type of movie has passed which really really sucks... Wouldn't mind some GOOD gremlins toys and dolls though.

[Three Storms]

Fright Night and Poltergheist are two of my favorites

[RC_rika]

ooh goody. now I have some movies to rent. I love horror movies, and I've gotten into the recent ones... I like Dawn of the dead.

What About the Haunting, House on a Haunted Hill, and I can't think of more right now!

[cobia123]

Poltergeist is the scariest older movie ive ever seen. Although i havent seen it in maybe 4 years, i remember it scaring the hell out of me. I wish nowadays they could make more horror movies like they did back than, nice and bloody. I mean i wanna see severed heads, pencils in ankles, disgusting and unecessary rippage of bodily tissue, and all the other factors that were put into those movies. One movie i own that hasn't been talked about is Dead Alive. I dont know if any of you have heard about it or seen it, but its a must have in my opinion. I dont think ive ever seen a bloodier movie in my entire life, its also the most creative and ruthless killing, i love it. If your into all the modern horrors, thats fine, but if you enjoy the 70's and 80's blood and guts flicks as well, u should check out Cabin Fever. To me it seemed to be a combination of both recent and and past film making talent, sort of an "80's horror movie that was restored and released in 2002"...if you know what i mean

[RC_rika]

i WANTED to see Cabin Fever!!! Have you seen Wrong turn? Pretty good, IMO. How was the "IT"? ... I have it but I can't bring myself to watch it alone.. heheh

My friend just recommended the 1st Jeepers Creepers movie to me... What was your opinion on that one?

[cobia123]

"IT"....now that is a movie i have seen many times over and over again, it is such a classic. If your into the whole clown thing than its gonna scare the hell outta ya. This movie was a family favorite and we used to watch it all the time, scared the crap outta me. I saw it recently and it didnt have as great an effect, i guess because my tolerance is higher, but its still a great movie nonetheless. Wrong Turn, ive been planning on seeing this, i hear its good, i just havent got around to it yet.

[cobia123]

Oh i forgot to comment on the jeepers creepers one. When it comes to that, i would recommend the second one over the first. I actually thought the first jeepers creepers was kind of dry, but i have to admit it was a fun movie. Jeepers Creepers 2 is action packed with a bit of comedy, but its not for everyone, i liked it.

[RC_rika]

Ok cool! I should go rent both once I get some money. I'm not really into clowns... they don't really scare me either, so I guess I'd be ok watching that movie. Not sure tho'! And you must watch Wrong turn. I'm pretty sure You'd like it. Definitely pretty freaky and the premise was weird, and a lil farfetched, but what horror movie isn't, at least a lil bit!

What about the new wave of Horrors, like The Ring and The Grudge and M. Night Schamalayan (sp??)'s movies? Since you said you're into horrors, I just wanted your opinion!

[nutlog666]

Here are a couple bloody "B" grade 70s-80s movies :

I spit on your grave ( Bloody , disturbing , 70s revenge flick )
Basket Case
Chopping Mall ( Not super-bloody , but some unique death scenes )
Death Race 2000 ( Not really Horror , more of a dark comedy , but a lot of carnage )

Non-"B":

The Howling
American Werewolf in London ( Not that bloody , but my personal fav )
The Lost Boys
Innocent Blood

My 2 cents on some of the movies mentioned already :

Motel Hell ( Classic ! )
Wrong turn ( O.K. , a cross between Deliverance & TCM )
Cabin Fever ( Loved it ! )
Jeepers Creepers 1&2 ( Both pretty decent , I think I liked 2 better as well )
The Thing ( Awesome ! In my top 5 )

I know that you are looking for older stuff , but here are some newer movies that are worth checking out :

Deathwatch
Dog Soldiers
Audition
Monster Man
Monsturd ( Funny , super low budget , about a giant poop monster )
Ginger Snaps

Well im more of a blood and guts person so id watch a classic horror movie over the new stuff any day. But if you truelly want my opinion, the new films are garbage!. First of all, how much computer graphics can be put into a movie at one time?, i mean The Grudge was loaded with hollywood nonsense and it was very similar to The Ring so it was nothing new to me. When i first watched The Ring i admit it scared the hell out of me, it gives you a deep down feeling of fear, but it is also a bunch of mumbo jumbo, i mean seriously, i wanna see make-up effects, these directors think that the computer graphics arent noticeable, but the fact is, they are SO obvious its ridiculous, it completely kills the movies. When i said their garbage...i take that back. I mean it seems that the movies have potential but it always results in the same dissapointment for me. They get their job done in that they scare people, but sometimes i feel that their just not worth the time
