[sundog]

i'm trying to get some ideas for my netflix queue

[Taverner]

1. I do

But disliked the "Its Alive" series. I prefer "Basket Case"

[sundog]

5. the second one was great

[Taverner]

6. Ahhh yes the mutant bus ride sing-along

Classic

[Cathyclysmic]

2. Not really, but I loved 70's diaster films,

like Airport, Earthquake, the Towering Inferno, etc.

[billyskank]

3. I was going to say The Thing

But it turns out that is a 1982 movie. Still good, though. (And not particularly trashy, sorry for wasting your time. I'll let myself out).

9. The original "The Thing" from the 1950s is much better. n/t

[billyskank]

10. Oh, I haven't seen that

Thanks.

4. I very much see you as a walking talking

trashy '70s horror film...thus I am forced to love them. :hi:

7. If you're a Sid Haig fan, I had dinner with him last year.

He's a good friend of my best friend's husband, and we all had dinner together at a convention in Atlanta. He's such a cool guy! He's lived all over the world and is very well-educated. :D

20. I dig Sid in House of 1000 Corpse and Devils Rejects

I saw him at a SciFi convention in Hollywood a few years ago. Also there was Karen Black, Fred Williamson, Tom Savini and Vampira(!)

[NewWaveChick1981]

22. I'll probably see him again over Labor Day at a show. If

I can get an autograph, do you want one? :)

[martymar64]

25. You bet I do!

You don't have to, but I would love it nonetheless!


If you weren't already hitched, I'd be on one knee right about now!!! :-)

[NewWaveChick1981]

27. Awww, thank you!

:D :*

If the timing is right, I will. I'll keep you posted.

8. Depends on what you call trashy.

One of my favorite horror movies of all time was made in the seventies. Some trash it while others put it on their top list of horror movies.

[begin_within]

11. That movie came in at #100 on the Village Voice's critics' poll of the

best 100 films of the 20th century - not horror films, of all films.

[xmas74]

13. I love that movie.

But I know many people who just don't get it.

[begin_within]

15. I still haven't seen it, but I remember the commercials for it,

like it was yesterday. A woman's voice whispering "Suspiria" several times, over a few clips from the movie. That was the commercial for it that played on TV when it first came out. "Suspiria... Suspiria ...Suspiria ...Suspiria ...Suspiria..." It was the best way I've ever seen them drill the title of a film into your mind - which is I guess the point of all advertising about movies, to sell you that title, so that when you go to a theater, you pick that one.

[xmas74]

17. It's not for the weak of stomach.

The lighting and the setting is very well done.

12. Shock Waves (1977)

"This horror movie concerns a shipwrecked yachting party. Rose (Brooke Adams) and her fellow yacht-mates, including the captain (John Carradine) run aground on an island when they hit an odd-looking freighter. Once beached, they meet up with an aging SS Commander (Peter Cushing) who had been in charge of a crew of zombies."

Something about this movie really creeped me out.

[NewWaveChick1981]

14. The schlockier, the better.

Only 70s horror films I'm not thrilled with are The Amityville Horror (too stupid even for schlock) and It's Alive (never got into it).

[begin_within]

16. We laughed and laughed at "The Devil's Nightmare" 1971 - unintentionally

funny French-Belgian "thriller" which was pretentious and not a bit scary.

18. Two of my favs..."A Taste of Evil" and "The House That Wouldn't Die"

'70 and '71
Both Aaron Spelling productions, ABC Movies of the Week, and both starred Barbara Stanwyck.

[Duncan Grant]

19. I'm a Dr. Phibes fan.

:scared: :scared: :scared:

[swimboy]

28. Oh yeah. You and I are molto simpatico.

:scared:

[martymar64]

21. Beyond the Door - about 1976 or so

Juliet Mills is possessed by the devil in this Italian knockoff of the Exorcist.

Creeped my 12 year old ass right the fuck out!

[d_b]

23. Children shouldn't play with dead things.

[Heidi]

24. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! (1978)

[Broken_Hero]

31. oh crap

[mad-mommy]

26. I love then only if Crow, Tom Servo, and Gypsy are there

[datasuspect]

32. Spawn of the Slithis

A nuclear leak creates a mutant Slithis sea monster, which terrorizes the variety of pets, winos, and hippies who hang around Venice, California. A VERY bad rip off of the classic Creature From The Black Lagoon. I remember seeing this in the theater and they passed out these "Slithis Survival Kits" so you can survive a Slithis attack outside of the theater. Now that I liked. They need to bring back gimmicks like that again, where masked monsters attack you in the theater, the "shocker" put in random seats, the Flying Skeleton Ianthe House on Haunted Hill.
