Oh yeah, definitely Sedge.

 

The Things is the BEST movie ever - I watched that for the first time eating lasagna - not cool.  But it was so funny, I immediately bought it on dvd (my dad had the tape) - and I love the oldschool filming ways of puppets and strings to pull things and loooots of blood and gore - these days it's all CGI crap and little blue-white kids jumping out of places to spook people rather than make them vomit from seeing guts torn out. Shaun of the Dead and SAW are the best horrors out there that can even hold a candle to some of the classics. They don't make them like they used to that's for sure.

 

OH and I HATE it in horror movies when it shows someone say, about to peel the scalp off of someone with a knife, it shows them put the knife to their head and then the camera...MOVES AWAY...and you just hear screaming to imply it. That only works with Hitchcock - bring us the gore already. Geez.

Hah, indeed!

I just watched The Thing once when I was a kid. I'll get it sometime soon and check it out again.

Think all horror movie makers today better watch The Thing and see how its properly done.  Loved Shaun of the Dead though obviously that was intentionally more funny than scary.

I think I actually liked Demolition Man the very first time I saw it. But then, the more I watched it, the more I started to hate it. Now I can't stand to look at it. Sandra Bullock makes me want to scream - and not in a good way.

Definitely! SOTD is so great because it successfully mingles comedy with horror but still manages to hold it's own as a great horror - that's what I see the Child's Play movies as, but everyone is like 'nuuuh those movies are geeeeaaay' - but really, Seed of Chucky is the funniest freakin horror movie around.

(all imo of course )

The whole Chucky thing was hard to get into for me. He's so small... can't you just pick him up and boot his ass?

Nuh-uh Evil Dead 2 is THE best comedy-horror EVER. Period. Full-stop.

Well pixelblink, let's agree to disagree.

I actually found it quite grim in places because it was a horror movie set in a regular lil english town pretty much like the one I live in (Arbury, lil town just outside Cambridge), and it was just unusual to see masses of zombies roaming around our dinky lil houses and flats.  Bit disturbing how they end up keeping most of the zombies around anyway.  The extras on the DVD are great too.

I'll go with that, although Shaun of the Dead and An American Werewolf In London are huge favorites of mine too.  I was a kid when American Werewolf was shown on TV late at night, watching it at my nans place in London.  Had just been to Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square that day.  I turned on the TV while my folks were talking to my nan and the movie was on at the point where David has changed into a wolf for the last time and smashes through the front of the porn cinema and bites off that police inspectors head, and runs off down the street causing havok.  I actually stupidly thought it was the news and that it was really happening cos I was too young to realise that movies can be set in real places too.  Like Shaun of the Dead it affected me more cos of its familiar locations.  Think that movie messed with my head...

An American Werewolf in London - that is the coolest movie! I love the whole conversation between David and Jack and David's victims.  And I was scared to go down the escalators at the subway when I went to London. I was obsessed with Drop Dead Fred when I was younger and heard he had a small bit in that film, that's why I checked it out. So thankyou Rik! Hehe.... 'A naked American man stole my balloons.' Classic. I might watch it later on.

Heh, yeah. Great scene. Most of them seem seriously pissed off but then ya got that married couple who are just too damn cheerful, even all dead and mutilated.  The porn movie's funny too.

Heh, suspension of disbelief is usually pretty easy for me... I had to hold back tears when Simba goes up to the dead Mufasa.  

Horror/comedy is a lively topic because the majority of all horror movies are unintentionally hilarious.  How about American Movie -- best horror/comedy/documentary evaaaaaaaaaa.

I think it's time to revive this topic.

The subject was... list the movies that you're ashamed to admit you love to watch. Not movies that are popular and everyone loves them... ones that are so god awful or just plain cheesy that people will think weird of you.

I don't I mentioned this one before but Krull (not Kull the Conquerer). It was a cheesy sci-fi/fantasy flick from the early-80s. Liam Neeson makes a cameo in this.

Also, I've had my signature posted for quite some time now but nobody has pointed out what "sa-da-tay" is all about. Soooooooo.... bonus points go out to the first person that can name the movie to which it is referring to.
