[Samhain]

[Samhain]

OMFG!!! I already got a spot for a few of them...


Great post kid!

Yeah, they really do look amazing. I hope the final product looks close to that. Fingers crossed.

[Sword Slicin' Leo]

Do you know When are these gonna be released??? i hope sooner than later...

that dream warrior fig,still makes me think of that Dokken song...great song

[Samhain]

Do you know When are these gonna be released??? i hope sooner than later...



I believe I saw fall 2011.

[Ninjinister]

I wish NECA would have gone through with that Samara Morgan figure. I would've bought three of them....

[Abnormal Freak]

Does it have to be the latest stuff? Most of my favorite horror flicks come from the '70s and '80s. ;p

Guess I'll ask the question: What are everyone's favorite horror movies? And don't be afraid to make it a really long list.

Nope this is for all things horror. Doesnt matter what or when.

As far as my favorites, mine are:

Scream
Halloween
Halloween H20
Nightmare on Elm Street 1 and 3
Wes Craven's New Nightmare
Phantasm
Dracula (1931)
Dawn of the Dead
Bride of Frankenstein
The Shining

There are tons more but that is off the top of my head.

[Abnormal Freak]

Some of my own favorites:

John Carpenter's The Thing
Jaws (it's shot like a horror movie)
Suspiria
Opera
Tenebrae
The Bird with the Crystal Plumage
The Evil Dead
Evil Dead II
Army of Darkness (so it's not quite horror, but eh)
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre ('74)
Bubba Ho-tep
Dead Alive/Braindead (can't decide whether I like the original cut or the US unrated cut more)
Cemetery Man
Tetsuo: The Iron Man
House (Hausu)
The Beyond
Vampire Hunter D ('85)

Those are probably the tops.

[Samhain]

Just picked up this guy from my local comic shop for $17. Looks pretty sick.

[Abnormal Freak]

I've yet to actually see Scream in its entirety. Only ever caught glimpses...on syndicated TV. Been meaning to see it, 'cos it seems like a pretty fun throwback to slasher flicks.

I really like the spoof Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th. Thought it was a pretty good homage to the ZAZ flicks, and loads better than Scary Movie.

[Luzmagica]

Some of my own favorites:

John Carpenter's The Thing



One of my favourites too! :) :)

[Abnormal Freak]

The Thing is easily my favorite horror movie. Just something about it that makes it so perfect and enjoyable—this really well-made package with little to no flaws. I dig Carpenter, but in my opinion, he's never made a movie that comes even close to that level of quality, not even Halloween.

Edit: Or I should say, he's never made another horror movie as good as The Thing, because Big Trouble in Little China is probably just as good and entertaining of a movie.

Yep! I had that title too in my collection!!! LOL... So enjoy-able!
Im not very into horror movies , I actually prefer science-fiction...and I have probably "the Thing" as that tipe of movie...

[JaffleMan]

The Thing is easily my favorite horror movie..

LOL, I am going to have to follow the trend and say that i totally agree. I think its the isolation factor and the not knowing who to trust factor are the scariest elements of the film.

Did anyone else play the game they made as a sequel to the movie? It was avaialble on the PS2 and continued the story right where the first movie left off. Worth playing for the story alone. they should actually turn it into a movie.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TAo4Dxfn_k

Basically you play a character sent to find out what the hell happened, another millitary unit is sent in before you and is scattered, some are infected some arent and you cant trust anyone unless you ahve the equipment to administer the test.

There is a very nice surprise that ties in with the movie at the end of the game... :) worth checking out

Also back on topic very nice figures... but after TMNT and transformers I can never find room for anything else. Love the freddy with the stretched arms... pure win.

Dude, YES! I loved The Thing. Truly a classic. I remember watching Dreamcatcher a few years back and thinking it was sorta a ripoff of The Thing. Its been a while since I have seen it but Im pretty sure the stories are very similar.

On another note, I just watched The Mist a few days back and thought it was okay. The acting was so-so, but that ending was great. I havent read the book in years but I could of sworn it didnt end the same way it did in the movie? Not too sure.

[Powder]

The thing is siiiiiiiiiiiiick.

[Abnormal Freak]

Despite loving ALL of the special effects in The Thing, I've always noticed how different the effects are for the dog kennel scene—not only different, but in my opinion so much better. Then I learned years later that a different guy actually did that scene—Stan Winston, responsible for the effects in Aliens, The Terminator, and a slew of other cool special effects flicks. I love Rob Bottin's stuff, both in The Thing and outside, but man...having Winston for that one scene is the best thing ever. Thank goodness for the time constraints and the necessity to hire him. :p

Yeah Winston was a legend. If it wasnt for him I dont know if alot of those movies would have gained the fame they did.

[Abnormal Freak]

I saw his movie, Pumpkinhead, a few years ago and thought it was pretty cool. Got all excited when a widescreen DVD of the flick finally hit shelves, so I picked it up but have yet to watch it. ;p Not like it matters a whole lot: I hear the flick doesn't really utilize the wide theater aspect ratio, many movies at the time being filmed with pan-and-scan home video in mind. Still, I'll take widescreen over P&S or open matte any day (if the flick's intended to be widescreen, that is).

[shuriken]

Tetsuo: The Iron Man


Is that really horror? I always thought it was more of an artsy acid trip that just went too damn far. I remeber watching it with an exgirlfriend of mine and wondering halfway through the movie why everything in the movie was happening. But I guess a drill penis is as scary as you cna get:P. Anyway here are my top ten horror movies.
1-The Excorcist
2-The Ring
3-A Nightmare on Elm Street
4-The Shining
5-Halloween
6-Scream
7-Pumpinkhead
8-Psycho
9-Relic
10-Ice Cream Man

[Abnormal Freak]

I consider Tetsuo to be body horror a la Cronenberg. But yeah, it's also a cyberpunk/sci-fi thing. Still, really gory film, which is why it reminds me a bit of The Evil Dead; the effects are quite similar.

[Samhain]

10-Ice Cream Man

Lol. That movie was so horrible it made me laugh.:lol:

[discordiatookie]

Some random horror things:

Just finished watching Alien. I love that film. Facehuggers creep the hell outta me. I'm on a mad hunt for them at the moment, snapping them up on ebay, etc. Anyone wanna donate/sell any to me? :D

Zombies are probably my favourite genre of horror. Its a shame that there is so much tripe out there, but yeah, they are awesome.

Always got a place for Freddy in my heart, especially the first and third movies.

My granda died when I was ten, and before he passed away, he had let me watch a whole slew of horror movies, including A Nightmare on Elm Street, Hellraiser 2, Predator, American Werewolf in London and Night of the Living Dead. Never done me (nor my sister, two years younger than I) any harm, and I guess I could say that it helped shape my love for horror in my later years.

Yeah, Aliens is amazing. Im gonna watch it tonight!:D Sigourney Weaver is HOT in that film. lol.

Heh, that bit at the end of Alien is great when she's in they tiny panties. Good times! :P

[Abnormal Freak]

Just finished watching Santa Sangre, which is really fantastic. Has a certain intelligence and sensitivity/endearment that aren't in a lot of horror movies. It's sort of a slasher, Alejandro Jodorowsky style—so, it's stylish, it's surrealistic and weird...it's wonderful. Only other movie of his I've seen is El Topo, but I love that one and really gotta see more.

Now, I'm gonna follow that poetic horror masterpiece with a Friday the 13th knockoff, The Burning. :p Looks great; the trailer really caught my eye. And despite it being a cash-in on the F13/bodycount/slasher craze (and looking EXACTLY like F13 based on the trailer), Tom Savini did the SFX, which I find really amusing since he also did the first flick (and the fourth). Apparently he passed on an offer to do the FX for Friday the 13th Part 2 to do The Burning.

[Samhain]

Just thought I would share my new mask I had made for me. This is based off of the H20 Myers mask. Thanks for looking!

http://i52.tinypic.com/11avho8.jpg

[Ninjinister]

I'm re-watching all of Marble Hornets right now. It's amazing how much I missed the first time around.

[discordiatookie]

Great mask!

I proper dig Marble Hornets...

[Samhain]

Thanks man!:)

Eh?........:ohwell:

[Jester]

Eh?........:ohwell:
Supposedly the original Michael Myer's mask was a William Shatner mask painted white.

[Samhain]

Supposedly the original Michael Myer's mask was a William Shatner mask painted white.

Oh, lol. Well, yes that is 100% true. The original mask was in fact a 1975 Don Post Captain Kirk mask. They ripped the sideburns off, spray painted it white, and messed up the hair a bit. Im not familiar with Star Trek so that's why I was confused by your post.

[JakeSully]

Count me in as a fan, i've always adored horror since i was 4 when i saw Fright Night in theaters and Psycho on cable, i've seen alot of horror movies evne in theaters and video to cable/TV back then.

These are looking AMAZING! I plan on getting all of them but man does that Part 1 look evil or what?! Just awesome. Can't freaking wait.

[shuriken]

Lol. That movie was so horrible it made me laugh.

hey man it creeped me the f**k out when I first watched it. I was like 11 years old and I knew an ice cream man that looked just like him so there you go. PLus a creepy bald wierdo making kids Ice cream is terrifying.:lol:
To be completely honest I know it's a terrible movie but I like it in a B-movie kinda way.

[AT-Man]

Favorite horror/thriller movies:

The Thing (Carpenter's)
Nosferatu (Herzog's)
Event Horizon
Saw
House of Usher and several other Poe filmations
the first segment of Black Sabbath
Häxan
Braindead
Evil Dead trilogy
Rear Window
Duel
American Psycho
Jaws
Jacob's Ladder
They Live
Wicker Man


I also like Japanese horror, though they're not the best movies, they sure are the creepiest. Ringu and Grudge movies changed my life forever.

[SassyGal]

I love horror movies. I think my favourites (in no particular order) are:

- John Carpenter's The Fog (the original)...it scared the crap out of me!

- Saw
- Friday the 13th the original & the reboot
- Malevolence
- Hellraiser
- The Ring
- The Texas Chainsaw Masacre (the original)

Both these figure look awesome. Part 2 has my favorite Freddy makeup out of all the films. It's also good that that figure comes with both the blade hand, as well as the glove, as that would be my definative F.reddy

For me I prefer the first movie look for Freddy. Part 2 was horrible so I just can't get into anything related to it. lol.





Chest of souls Freddy! This thing looks NASTY! I can't wait for these!

DAMN:o
Is that from Dream Master or Dream Child?

[Samhain]

That is indeed The Dream Master.;)

[shuriken]

^^I thought so. You know Dream Master gets a lot of crap from people I talk to but to be honest I think it's one of my faves in the franchise. Even if ridiculously goofy at times. Freddy eating screaming meatballs still trips me out.

[Samhain]

Here is the blister layout for the Part 1 Freddy! Can't wait! This will be the end all part 1 Freddy figure!

Any fans of Re-Animator? hilarious, gory and sleazy Sci-fi horror comedy cult classic that has been one of my faves since i was 15, Jeffery Combs steals the show as Herbert West.

Yes, probably the best movie based on Lovecraft's work. Others that I enjoy are The Resurrected, Die Monster Die!, Necronomicon, and From Beyond. I also liked Cthulhu (2007).

[Samhain]

New Freddy figures just went up for pre order at BBTS,

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=NEC11581&mode=retail

[wilddiverse]

Yeah, put me down for John Carpenter's The Thing* as well.

Others I enjoy:
Romero's Night of the Living Dead / Dawn of the Dead / Day of the Dead
Pontypool (zombie-type, "Shut Up or Die")
The Return of the Living Dead (1985)
Shaun of the Dead
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
Alien / Aliens
Jaws
The Descent
The Mist
The Ruins
Otis (dark humor)
30 Days of Night (very Thing-formula, but brutal)


* I'm less on board for the Thing prequel that's being made that apparently shows what happened at the Norweigian research site-- only requires a hint of imagination to piece that together while watching the original.

[Samhain]

The Mist


Great, underrated film. That movie made me feel sick when I was done watching it. What a Horror film should do! Lol.

[discordiatookie]

Its awesome. I love how

In the end, Darabont makes a more 'Stephen King' ending than what the original story has. (In the book, its kind of an open ending, if I recall, where they are left wondering across America...

I watched a pretty decent horror flick coupla nights ago: Orphan. I enjoyed it, freaky little b*tch!

Yeah. The book was great but I love the ending of the movie.

And The Orphan. Yes! I saw this a few nights ago and was creeped out by the theme of the film. One of the better recent horror films. I must say.

[Samhain]

Just picked these guys up! Definitive Freddy figures! I just love them.

I got NOES 1 Freddy last week. Really great figure.

The first one is genuinely creepy. Especially during the "dinner" scene at the end.

The second one is cheesy 80's horror fun.

The remake was watchable because of R Lee Ermey and Jessica Biel being smoking hot.

A ton of Freddy figures, but what about the Dream Warriors? No gymnastics action Kristen action figure?

[Sword Slicin' Leo]

i got 1 of those too...waiting on the dream warriors fig...i will leave that one MOC

[Samhain]

So, decided to bump this thread because Neca had some awesome figures on display at Toyfair! Here are 2 new Freddys from Neca!:D

From the 5th film. I love that headsculpt!!!
http://i41.tinypic.com/fu8kk9.jpg


And from '' The Dream Warriors''. ''Let's get high!'' :lol: I love those needle hands.
http://i44.tinypic.com/51vuwl.jpg

[Kalel]

Great lookin figures. I need to post some pics of my Dungeon.

[Slap-Happy]

Don't forget these guys!

Ah yes, I was going to post those but I never got around to it. The Part 3 looks amazing.

[Ninjinister]

I was just thinking this week, that I cannot find anything that I haven't already encountered that creeps me out. I need something NEW. Movies, stories, urban legends, Youtube videos, creepypastas... ANYTHING.

Co-worker suggested The Thing (the '82 version - I'd actually not seen it yet). He also suggested one more thing but I forgot what.

Anyone have any recommendations?

[Peanut]

If you haven't already play Amnesia: The Dark Descent. I was hysterical after about 20 minutes. I deleted the game immediately.

Yeah, The Thing is one of the best.

Have you seen Serbian Film? That film made me feel sick.


I also recently watched a film called Poughkeepsie Tapes. That creeped me out a bit too.

[Ninjinister]

I've never heard of Serbian Film, no.
EDIT: Turns out I had heard of it, after looking it up. Seems less horror-y and more just insanely f**ked up, though.

I'll still look into playing Amnesia, myself, Peanut. I just may burst out laughing at certain spots though.

The other film my colleague recommended was Seven.

[Peanut]

I don't know if I can do that. I've seen too many comedic Let's Plays.

I can confirm that no amount of Finnish Youtube videos or Day9 Let's Plays will stop that game from being absolutely horrifying.

Headphones and a dark room. Absolutely destructive to my psyche.

[Samhain]

The other film my colleague recommended was Seven.

I would consider Seven a thriller. Tis' a very good film, IMO. Good ending too.

[Slap-Happy]

Seven's really good at crepping me out. So is The Thing.

Go have a double feature night.

[AT-Man]

Anyone have any recommendations?


Have you seen this?


0z6xGU2_g9s

[Samhain]

Yeah, I love that! They have a bunch of gems. I especially like ''Baby Sounds''. As a new dad, that one really creeped me out.

[mysterycolor]

I would consider Seven a thriller. Tis' a very good film, IMO. Good ending too.
i agree, Se7en is a psychological thriller

[Moonlight1102]

Have you seen Serbian Film? That film made me feel sick.

Oh dear god, that poor newborn baby. *cries*

I'm more of a person that watches very obscure exploitation horror films. Here's a list of the absolute WORST horror films I've ever seen.

1. Zombie '90: Extreme Pestilence
2. The entire Violent Sh** film series
3. 7 Doors of Death
4. Nekromantik
5. Weasels Rip My Flesh
6. Horror of the Hungry Humongous Hugon
7. Ax 'Em
8. Unseen Evil 2 (aka Alien 3000)
9. Birdemic: Shock and Terror (Look it up, I dare ya)
10. Satan Claus
11. Garden of the Dead

[AT-Man]

I just watched Shock (or Schock) by Mario Bava, a very atmospheric horror movie. I recommend, then again I'm a sucker for Italian horror movies.

[Lethal Lullaby]

Anybody know any seriously Scary horror movies? Preferably 3 of them. One being at least an Asian horror movie?

[Raphael86]

A Nightmare on Elm Street 1 is, hands down, my favorite horror movie since Freddy was practically my own personal boogey man when I was a kid. He was the embodiment of terror for me as a kid, and I have had some wicked Freddy nightmares. There was this place where my family and I would eat lunch after church every Sunday, and in a part of the restaurant, they had a video rental area chock full of glorious VHS covers. Some of which I remember vividly, were ANOES movies. The second one is my main memory of that room, because it scared me to death just looking at the cover.

http://www.movieposterdb.com/posters/11_05/1985/89686/l_89686_3a2e358a.jpg

Nightmare 1 is still my favorite though. Especially after I learned Freddy was based on actual events.

Also love:

John Carpenter's the Thing.
Alien.
The Hitcher. (Rutger Hauer FTW!)
John Carpenter's Halloween.
Jaws.

[JakeSully]

The Thing is an awesome movie, scared me when i was 5 when i rented it on video and been one of my fave sci-fi/horror hybrid films for years. Carpenter's second masterpiece after Halloween and who thinks it's the quintessential more faithful adaptation of the John Campbell story "Who Goes There"?

[Wildcat]

My favorite horror series are the Chucky movies. I love Chucky.

Looking forward to the new Curse of Chucky. Comes out in a few months. Its direct-to-dvd but I dont care. Its back to roots horror. No comedy like the last two. Although I liked Bride but Seed was awful.

Might as well mention one of my favorite, other, horror movies is HOUSE (1986). Loved the style and monsters in that. Too bad none of the sequels were that good. 2 was decent, 3 was unofficial but pretty good and 4 was ok.
