Horror films to die for...

[Blofeld]

Have a wife who disapproves of horror films, and young rug-rats running around the house, so I hardly ever get to rent a good scare pic. Wife & kids are leaving town for a few days to see relatives...what should I rent? My favorite horror films to date:

Silence of the Lambs
Seven
Alien
Aliens

Thanks for the recommendations...

Don't need to mention "Evil Dead." I hear
"Firehead" is good...

[Brian Koukol]

Firehead be damned! EVil Dead 1, 2, and 3 (Army Of Darkness) are great, but perhaps to b-movieeque and comical for your tastes, although I don't know your tastes. You can always try dead alive, but you must be sure to get the full non-rated release rather than the Blockbuster edited R rated one.

[Steve Murphy]

Or you could go the 'Dawn/Day Of The Dead' route. Can't go wrong with Romero, really. Or try Coppola's 'Bram Stoker's Dracula'. It's not a scarry movie, excpet for Keanu Reeves's accent. Then you'll be walking around for days saying, "But sir, I know where the BAHstard sleeps!".

Check out "Near Dark." It's got three cast
members from "Aliens" playing vampires.

Lance Henricksen - Bishop
Bill Paxton - Hudson
Jeanette Goldstein - Vasquez

Bad mofos. All of em.

Event Horizon is a pretty cool one. More sci-fi but pretty damn scary at points.

[ReaperMan]

Of course we mustn't forget The Blair Witch Project...although i've got afeeling it's gonna have shitload of imitations coming out. In fact there's one already...a spoof: The Blair Clown Project. A real scary movie is johnny mnemonic...I ran screaming to my room when it was over

[Nick Nunziata]

For a good horror film, why not catch In the Mouth of Madness?

Other good, though not scary genre films are:

The Serpent and the Rainbow (Craven's best)
Fright Night (fun, fun vampire flick)

[EastwoodPhan]

Dawn Of The Dead, Army Of Darkness, Psycho, Halloween, some of the FRiday The 13th films are good (mainly 3 and 6) Wolf Man, Creature From The Black Lagoon are great ones
