The Haunted. 1991 made for TV movie. Based on a true story and I really like it. WTched it many times.

This is one of the movies I so wish ScreamFactory or someone would properly restore and release on Blu Ray.

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

Yep it needs a good release. Those copies on YouTube etc are a bit foggy. Must be from VHS copies recorded off the TV originally 👍

Hush 2016

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

I have been thinking about watching Hush for a while now. Eventually, I will get around to it. Hush has over 67,000 votes on IMDb, so I wouldn't really consider it lesser known though.

[–] PeteRose (2893) 6 years ago

I just never hear anyone mention it. It's great.

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

I might watch it tomorrow.

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

Hush is very good considering this is no dialogue.

Island of Lost Souls (1932)
The Plague of the Zombies (1966)
Seconds (1966)
Night of Horror (1981)

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

I just watched Island of Lost Souls earlier today. It was pretty good. I've seen Seconds and it was good too. Haven't seen The Plague of the Zombies or Night of Horror yet.

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

My problem with Seconds was that Rock Hudson was a lot taller than John Randolph.

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

seconds is a neat little oddity. it was streaming on tubi-tv, but seems to have been removed...

Clownhouse

[–] sslssg (28489) 6 years ago

The scene on the pathway with Casey and the clown still creeps me out.

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

That looks good.

The Seventh Sign (1988)

[–] sslssg (28489) 6 years ago

I used to love that movie. I always cry.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (72451) 6 years ago

Green Room (15) was pretty awesome
Patrick Stewart, Alia Shawkat (❤️) and that poor, young Anton Yelchin fellow were in it
I loved the cast...Alia got it going on!
A punk rock band runs afoul of some insane Neo-Nazi assholes in a dive bar and have to fight their way out

The Invitation (14) was also pretty great...pretty perfect little indy!

Murderdrome (18) a bunch of sexy Roller Derby girls raise a demon by accident and it starts killing everybody
To be honest, this story doesnt make much sense but a bunch of hot ladies in revealing outfits on roller skates is a pretty easy sell
I liked it a lot

I will try to post some others
Good thread👍
