Darlings, I just happened across this list by BlackArtFilm of 13 Movies to Watch for Halloween. For those of you out there that watch as many horror films as I do, it was refreshing to see a list that so heavily featured films I hadn’t seen before. Here’s the first six films (part 1) – how many can you recognize without peeking?
How many could you guess so far? I have to admit, kittens: my score could have been better. But I have the first film queued up to watch as soon as I post this! Ready to peek at the list? I’d love to know which ones you’ve already seen!
1. House (1977) – Director: Nobuhiko Ôbayashi
2. Trick ‘r Treat (2007) – Director: Michael Dougherty
3. Suspiria (1977) – Director: Dario Argento
4. Frailty (2001) – Director: Bill Paxton
5. Epitaph (2007) – Directors: Beom-sik Jeong, Jeong Sik
6. The House of the Devil (2009) – Director: Ti West

I have not seen 1 or 5 – the other four I loved – well, I didn’t love Trick r Treat that much.
Same, although somehow I’d missed House of the Devil, too. That one’s on Netflix now, so I’m planning to watch it and Hausu tonight. 🙂
I REALLY liked House of the Devil. I hope you do too : ) – be warned, it’s a slow burner….
The “retro” feel was a little distracting a first, but I really liked it.
Great!! That makes me feel like we have really bonded here. : )
Number one, House (Hausu) is art-damaged surrealism. And I don’t mean that as a put-down, it’s just really damn weird. Saw it once and still haven’t up my mind what I thought. The movie kinda does that, ha ha ha. I haven’t seen Suspiria, but some of his other works and IMO Argento is an acquired taste.
Suspiria is the cause of a lot of
fightsgentle disagreements between me and other horror types. Just never was my cup of scary.Suspiria’s not scary but it is pretty. I’m so excited that the only one I haven’t seen is the last one. Epitaph is beautiful but it’s a trilogy of stories which can occasionally drag somewhat. I did quite like it though. And yes, House is one of the freakin weirdest films I’ve ever seen, along with Horrors of Malformed Men.
Even if the list isn’t perfect (which goes double for part 2), I am thrilled to hear everyone’s opinions – it always seems to bring up more interesting and lesser-known films. My “watch” list is getting long!
Oh mine too, along with my reading list
