I need to rent some horror movies not everyone has already seen.

Suggestions?

Godzilla is good for some laughs.

For all of $5 at WalMart you get:
Screaming Skull
Frozen Alive
Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter (Haven't had the guts to watch that one yet.)

Carnival of Souls. Weird, out there film, way ahead of its time. I am certain most modern horror film makers have seen it.
One of my favorites - that old Saltair, UT resort looked absolutely foreboding in the evening.

The director said he was driving to Hollywood when he saw that complex, realized its scary potential, and had a script written in days to take advantage of the abandoned atmosphere (Salt Lake receded and made it obsolete).

I visited Saltair a few years ago and spotted a building vaguely similar. Alas, a sad echo, as some transients burned the original down and it was rebuilt on a smaller scale for rock concerts. The attendees trashed that place as well.

Herk Harvey, the director, played "The Man" (dead guy at the complex). I read where it was claimed that George Romero got the idea of "Night of the Living Dead" from that movie.

That’s a very good movie.

I love the way Arkin says, “Geraldine.”

Just put on CSPAN when Congress is in session.

My favorite horror film - The Shining - but maybe doesn’t qualify cause most people have seen it.

My high school band was in a scene from “A boy and his dog” More of a sifi than horror but definitely a “B” film.

The Audition

[Lazlo in PA]

Original with Edward Woodward and Christopher Lee or the rotten remake with Nick Cage. The original is good.

Yes!

I was going to recommend ‘Prince of Darkness’ as well. Not very many people have seen it, but it is creepy. Well at least to me.

Not really scary so much as (at times) spooky, “The Prophecy”.

Based on recs here, I’ll have to check out the Japanese versions of the Ring and Grudge.

Near Dark and Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

[Cincinatus]

My personal favorites:

Mr. Sardonicus -- I second that recommendation from below. A great, cheap little William Castle thriller. Also look into The Tingler if you haven't seen that one.

Basket Case -- I first saw this on a recommendation from Joe Bob Briggs, drive-in movie critic extraordinaire. Really cheesy, but absolutely gripping and chilling.

The Wicker Man (original) -- great and really creepy. Plus, Brit Ekland and Ingrid Pitt in extended nude scenes as a bonus.

The Hills have Eyes

The Hidden, 1987, starring Kyle MacLachlan. That is a fun, fun, party movie.

[Polynikes]

“Fallen”
Denzel Washington / John Goodman

Opening line: “I wanna tell you about the time I almost died....”

[Mrs. Yuleeyahoo]

What can be better than Nazi zombies?

[Shimmer1]

Shock Waves

The Ring was the first movie I saw with my now wife.

It is a movie where you have to choose to suspend your disbelief - worthwhile in a f-with-your-head way.
