Horror anthology movies


I just watched Creepshow, and it inspired this post. This works so well in this genre. I'd love a complete list of good anthology horror movies. Trying to buy them all digitally. Please offer your suggestions.

The subgenre is a mixed bag but here are a few goodies:

Trick 'r Treat
V/H/S
Tales from the Darkside
Creepshow 2
Twilight Zone

Nice, I haven't seen trick r treat

reply

It's a really good one
Perfect for a Halloween party

VHS is great too.

My wife and I just finished Trick r Treat. I thought it was a lot of fun. I appreciated changing the timeline and story structure a little. Not done as formulaic as most movies like this are. A couple of the story lines could have been fleshed out a little better, like Anna Paquins and the principal's. All in all, I liked it. Thanks for the recommendation.

Body Bags (1993)

Man, this blows me away. I had no idea this existed, much less that it's from John Carpenter. I'll definitely be getting this.

reply

It's a good one, Enjoy 👍

reply

Man, I'm not sure I'd consider this good,lol. It was cool to see Mark Hamill, but that was probably the highlight for me. I did a little digging and discovered that these were originally going to be episodes on Showtime, but it didn't get picked up, so they made it a showtime movie.

Stay away from Creepshow 3 whatever you do. Absolute garbage. 💩💩💩

reply

I had no idea there was a creepshow 3. By the looks of it I will try to keep it that way.

reply

It's really bad, Tales from the Darkside movie is considered the true Creepshow 3 by many.

reply

Dr. Terror's House of Horrors.

I don't really get the title, because the frame story takes place on a train. It's kind of a fun, though, if you like that kind of hoaky, old movie.

reply

This rings a bell. I think I've seen it long ago.

reply

I love this film. With the plant trying to kill the family, and Donald Sutherland with a vampire wife 😄

reply

Trilogy of Terror

reply

This is a good one and the main actress is lovely!

reply

Karen Black!!

reply

The shapely and beautiful Karen Black.

reply

I haven't seen a lot of horror films but I did see these:
The Shining
Psycho
The Exorcist
Poltergeist
Rosemary's Baby

reply

Those are all great, but I'm looking for anthology horror movies.

southbound is my favourite of the recent little trend of anthologies. most don't seem to care for it, but i think it has a very odd, off-kilter tone all the way through that i absolutely love.

i think the first two vhs films are fun, &, while vhs viral is fairly awful, the nacho vigalondo segment is really good.


reply

I enjoyed Southbound as well. I was a little trepidatious going into it because of some not so great reviews, but I'm glad I watched it.
