I really liked The Descent, Cloverfield, 1408 and The Host (if that qualifies; it certainly got to me.) The Others is a reasonably good pick. I haven't seen The Orphanage. Let the Right One In is a very good vampire movie.

We could do a whole forum on Frankenstein movies. There are tons of them.

I'll be branching our site out to South America. I'll be able to review all the Brazilian, Chilean, Argentinian, Colombian (if they have any), Bolivian, Venezuelan etc. movies for all of you to scramble to your Blockbusters to get. Are you listening lissa? Fuck those Koreans, Spaniards and Portuguese is where it's at, baby!!!!

billy,

I love low-budget American horror flicks like The Party At Horror Beach.
If we decide on horror as the topic of our next forum, we might want to narrow it down to American horror movies. Euro-horror or Asian horror could be a whole other topic.

It's The Horror at Party Beach. Sheesh, what a Philistine.

Horror At Party Beach

billy, I know I know. I actually saw it in the theaters when I was a kid. Bad monster in a silly rubber suit. Bad rock soundtrack. Good fun.

I just made a search for a horror movie starring Nancy Davis which was hilariously bad. I even wrote a little review of it back in the NYTFF days, but it is not on her list of film roles. I don't remember the name but I suspect that the Reagan's expunged it from her resume. I saw it one late night on TV. Does anyone know this movie?

You don't by any chance mean Donovan's Brain, in which "A scientist keeps an unscrupulous tycoon's brain alive and falls under its influence," do you?

I believe it is called "The 1980's."

No, this one was reeeeeeeal bad. It could have been made by a slighted polished Ed Wood.

Yeah the 80's would fit. Thought it was only funny for non-Americans.

Has anyone noticed that the 50's grade B horror movies always seamed to have good looking women running around in their underwear. They knew their target audience.

Touche'.
LOL!!

There was nothing like the b & w horror classics of the '50's. "The Thing" and "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" come to mind. The dawn of the atomic age made us terrified of being wiped off the face of the earth...and it shows in the movies.
Oh...and I forgot to add 2 more favorites: "The Fly" (the original) and "The Incredible Shrinking Man," movies I found positively chilling.

Gary: I think we'd need a bit more description of the film. The films listed for her on IMDb mostly have reasonably good reputations, although some of them don't have too many views. She was in Hellcats of the Navy, which was a submarine movie, but it's not that forgotten.

Gary--I have this weird feeling that you're referring to one of the worst horror films ever made, The Brain That Wouldn't Die, which stars Virginia Leith as a disembodied head, and she looks a little bit like Nancy Davis. Could this be the one? It is indeed side-splitting.

ooops...I guess I was thinking that he becomes invisible after he shrinks enough.

Rolling Eyes

I looked for the Nancy Davis movie, too, and couldn't find it. I did happen to come across, however, some really glowing reviews of Ms. Davis' work.
