New Field of 64?
 
I organize a movie night ar my work place every other week and I'm try to rotate Drama/Comedy/Action/Horror movies to keep it interesting.

My problem is I'm running out of what I consider good horror movies. I used the last field of 64 as a source for comedy movies, could we do another for horror movies?

My favorite (not necessarily the best) horror movies in no particular order:
-The Ring
-Candyman
-Doppelganger
-Dracula (yes the one with Keanu Reeves)
-Nightmare on Elm Street
-The Prophecy
-The Grudge - it kind of sucked but there are a few good creepy parts
-Stir of Echoes - not really horror, but its great
-Anything with Ben Stiller is pretty horrific...

i hate horror flicks, but I really like suspense movies. Can we modify the category? If so, I'll nominate

The Jagged Edge

I hate myself so much for not following through on this that I created an administrative interface so that anyone could use to run a field. You could try it now:

http://cellar.org/fieldof64/admin.php?field=asdf

Anyone can use that form to set up this field:

http://cellar.org/fieldof64/64.php?field=asdf

Beta-test it now. The password is "asdf". Creative ain't i.

Aww, don't be a hay-ta, we LOVE it. Thanks!!

BigV 05-13-2005 11:33 PM

Hey, sm, all,

How about the category of SCARY movies NOT (TM)?

I believe there's room under that category for Horror, ("the harrah...) Suspense, Slasher, etc,. Whaddya t'ink?

Undertoad 05-13-2005 11:45 PM

Agree on the topic and who'll manage it (who'll have the password for it), and I set up the field and send the password to the manager. Then we start a new thread for it and start nominations. Howzat.

scary movies works.

In no particular order ...

- The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
- Theater of Blood (my favorite of Vincent Price's films. The Abominable Dr. Phibes is by #2 of his)
- The Haunting (original. there is no need to remake a perfectly good movie)
- The Exorcist
- House of Wax (original again. nothing with Paris Hilton in it can be good, no matter how they kill her.)
- Pitch Black
- Halloween
- Dracula, Prince of Darkness (Christopher Lee ... Hammer Films Dracula)
- Hellraiser
- Dracula (Bela Lugosi)
and, because you can't have one without the others ...
- The Wolfman (Lon Chaney, Jr.)
- The Mummy (Boris Karloff)
- Frankenstein (Boris Karloff)

There are quite a few movies I struggled over because they aren't classically horror ... Psycho, The Birds, Rosemary's Baby, The Legend of Hell House, The Blob, and, of course, any film by William Castle.

wolf 05-14-2005 01:48 PM

Wolf has no time to manage such a thing ...

Perry Winkle 05-14-2005 02:20 PM
