The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I would have to say 70s and 80s horror films for me, back when horror was about the story not seeing blood splattered across the screen. There when films had nudity jo,es and offline remarks things today society would not allow.

I am more of the monster guy not truly a fan of slasher films like saw or morbid people.

Example:

Subspecies,
howling
vampire kiss
Salems lot
The prophecy
The kindred
Pumpkin head
Vampire circus
and list goes on collect DVD of past great films

I would say thriller horror's or psychological, it's for me doesn't have to be blood filled to create fear, one prime example of this would 1971 Spielberg's the Duel, it has very little dialog and relies on the viewer feeling the tense atmosphere via the sound of the vehicles , the films musical score and the way in which the movie is laid out in that the audience has to try to decide for themselves who the psychopath in the tanker is. One particular scene is when the guy driving the red car pulls into the roadstop cafe and he's checking out all the boots at the bar, it is also the one clue the view gets as to whom the driver of the tanker may be.


Outside of that though i also love the hell raiser series 1-3 and the latest reboot with female pinhead in that it too whilst containing gore is quite psychological especially in the first of the series.

I don't fear blood or gore, but psycholigical manipulation can get into my mind and for that reason i enjoy those styles of movie much more because you actually feel it yourself as someone watching.

I'm particular to older B&W films, particularly those from Hammer. It was a period where good scriptwriting was essential and the likes of Peter Cushing were capable of having extended dialogues that made you believe in the character(s), and subsequently, enable the suspension of disbelief more easily for me. The Curse of Frankenstein, while color, is a great example of how to generate a dark and brooding atmosphere through discourse.

In a more modern sense, I don't find much particularly scary, horrifying, but not fear-inducing. Body horror can get me there, but it has to be real graphic B grade shocker stuff.

Stabb666 right there with you, the classic movies and yes, some early 80's created that atmosphere. I think hammer had the right way to produce the horror film. Had all aspects not just blood flying across the screen. But I try watch and buy all classic movies that enthrall me. I am not a saw fan or like that sort of films, with the world full of idiots right now just turns me off

Yes indeed. Hard to find a good movie that relies on character interaction nowadays. there's the rare gem, sure, but they don't typically get extended theatre runs. I've started exploring some far east movies, particularly South Korea. I was big into early Japanese stuff like Kurosawa, but haven't seen much worth watching recently.

If you're into the zombie genre, I highly recommend Kingdom https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6611916/ to while away the hours.

Foreign, I like to see what terrifies people in other parts of the world.

My favorite sub genre of horror is a tie between werewolf and zombie. I love wolves and like the thought of combining a wolf with a man. And zombies who doesn't like a hoard of undead that you can use as target practice. My favorites include...

Dawn of the Dead
Night of the Living Dead
Shawn of the Dead
Walking Dead (not a movie but had to put it in)
The Howling
Dog Soldiers
Silver Bullet
Ginger Snaps

It's zombies for me

Vampires is my first but I think that would be a main genre? So I would have to say apocalyptic.

I tend to favor the classics because they take my mind back to a time when I watched them and my outlook on life was quite different then. As sub-genres' go I like Creature features, Supernatural and Occult. Of late been getting into audiobooks so I can concentrate on my imagination rather than reading and of course I favor the classics but as far as modern genres' I'd go with LITRPG's as one of my favorites as I have a gamer psychology and can view the world well in that context.
