It's horror movie season in the US and my favorite type is zombies. I also love campy B movies. Watching Dead Snow 2 right now and I think it ranks up there with Shawn of the Dead and Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness.

What is your top pick for whatever genre?

You like em tongue-in-cheek? You might try Chopping Mall (1986). Shopping mall management invests in a killer robot security system. A group of horny teens decides to spend the night there, but a lightning storm takes out the main killer robot controller! It's funny, a little gory, has topless men and women, and it's hilarious. A spook night favorite of mine.

I remember enjoying this. I need to re watch it because I can't remember most of the highlights.

The original Night of the living Dead is way up there for vanilla zombie horror. 28 days later for modern zombies.

Thankskilling and Jack Frost for B movie holiday horror.

The 1922 Nosferatu.

Midsommer is my favorite. A slow, realistic slide into horror.

GYO Tokyo Fish Attack. Body horror is a great genre that doesn’t come around very often without looking kind of cheesy so it helps being animation.

The Fly is another great example of the genre. Such an excellent movie with a sad ending to top it off.

If you like body horror, go watch The Substance. That movie brought back memories of when body horror used to be good (Videodrome, Scanners, Toxic Avenger, etc)

Not my favourite but Sleepaway Camp is an absolute classic of so-bad-its-good 80s horror with an unforgettable ending.

day of the dead is fantastic. perfect build up and release. watched it with a lot of friends and damn we went crazy for that ending

Bob Roberts, a true tale of political horror.

[–] Maiq@lemy.lol 1 points 6 months ago

Army of Darkness.

Another horror favorite: Don't Look Now (1973), directed by Nicolas Roeg, starring Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland. Set in Venice, it concerns a couple recovering from the accidental death of their very young daughter. Roeg uses the color red as a signature throughout the film: things are not always what they seem.
