It Came from the Classic Horror Movie Thread
Before CGI and Animatronics...there was fake blood and prosthetics. before there was PG 13, there was just R and NC 17.
Before there was Jigsaw, there was Freddy and Jason
What are some of your favorite ol' school horror movies?
Ol' school meaning 15 to 20 years and older.
Also, if there have been any remakes, how have they stood up to the original?
My short list
Hellraiser 1 and 2
Nightmare on Elm Street of course
Fright Night
Evil Dead
American Werewolf in London
Exorcist
Any flicks of Christopher Lee as Dracula...hehehe

Carrie.
It is the only scary-type movie I can watch.
There was a remake in 2000ish I believe, but it was really stupid.

Carrie and Nightmare on Elm Street did it for me.
Was Tales from the Crypt a movie? I remember it being a TV show, and it scared the crap out of me. Then again, so did Unsolved Mysteries. Go figure.

Tales from the Crypt was a TV show, but Creepshow was a movie (and a graphic novel) from Stephen King. I always kind of think of them as being similar, as Creepshow was a series of short stories.

Tales From the Crypt was a originally a movie released in 1972 and was a precursor to the HBO series. Not as campy as Creepshow but it's still a good movie.

Does anyone remember The Changeling? Good classic horror film, no gore or nudity just good mystery.

How did I miss this thread the first go around?
I love many of the movies mentioned -- The Shining, Carrie, The Exorcist. Also loved the original TV version of Salem's Lot and especially the three Omen movies.
But only one movie has truly scared (or disturbed?) me to the core: Blue Velvet. I was away for work and watched it in the hotel room. Could not get to sleep for hours and hours afterward. A few days later I was back home and walking into Wal-Mart. As I walked in, the music system started playing Bobby Vinton's "Blue Velvet." I turned around and walked out.

For realz? Blue Velvet is one of David Lynches more "subdued" films.

Tales from the Crypt came out around 1989 - 90 I think.

Sorry hon, but before PG-13, NC17 was X.
Psycho, The Exorcist, Friday the 13th and Halloween. The Shining. And that puppet movie with Chuckie.. so creepy. Child's Play? Is that the name of it?

no, her extensive knowledge of movie trivia. and i'm not old either!
psycho, the shining, hush, hush sweet charlotte, the brain(i think that is the name of it-this woman's head is severed in an auto accident, and her mad scientist boyfriend keeps her head alive until they can find a suitable body donor). i was probably about 5 or 6 when i saw this advert. at the movie theater and i am still freaked out about it! any psychological horror movie will effect me the same way, much more so than the blood and gore movies of today.

Right!! And although not 'old' yet, one of my favorite 'new classics' LOL is Identity! Did not see that twist coming!
Did anyone get messed up after watching the 1970s version of Salem's Lot?

The Shining is definitely a favorite. Silence of the Lambs still seems recent to me, but it's almost 20 years old so I'm going to consider it a classic. [Slight hijack: One of the more frustrating things about teaching college students is that I'm constantly surrounded by non-aging people! They're here from 18-21ish, then leave before they get old. So, I feel like time is standing still... until I realize that I saw Silence of the Lambs in the movie theatre, and many of my students weren't even born yet. Then I feel incredibly old.]
