What are Your Favorite CULT HORROR MOVIES For Halloween?


So, what cult horror movies do you like for Halloween Season? What are your favorites for the occasion? I don't mean popular mainstream horror movies. Strictly cult.

The Human Centipede: First Sequence is my favorite. I don't think it's mainstream, do you? If anything, it and its sequels appear to have received much criticism due to the horrific and disgusting premise, or for those who go in deeper, the contents as witnessed in the films themselves. I think The Human Centipede 1 does the mad scientist sub-genre so well, yet the second one is different, as it involved a type of villain I'd consider more of an amateur psychopath with no real scientific and medical knowledge. I'd say The Human Centipede as a whole series is great for this kind of thing, though, if you're not disturbed too much. I find the premise both scary and humorous.

"A New Kind of Man" (John Foxx, 1980):

Hellraiser 1,2,3,4,5 (don't watch the rest!!!). 1,2,3,4 are made from the same crew, including Clive Barker himself. While 5 is made of totally different crew, I find it real good. The rest however are jokes. It's not real mainstream, but it's a total cult.

I also keep a br-disk copy of "American werewolf in London" - all-time favorite! The only movie even now, to show full human-werewolf transformation in details, and all in optical fx. Another cult.

"The sleeper must awaken!"

Pumpkinhead. I like to watch it in a pitch-black room; it makes the few colors in the movie really pop out.

I love Inferno! And the first two Hellraisers as well. I'd also go with Event Horizon and Exorcist 3
