You're most welcome DebLovesBeccy  !! I imagine I will enjoy those movie recommendations here
because the Wikipedia write-up storylines looked most intriguing too   . Also another good and underrated one
I haven't seen in a long time now
and would recommend here too . Again thanks so much for your replies  .  and that can be annoying when it is a Horror movie I like and want to buy on DVD and I rented a lot of Horror movies at my local Video Ezy years ago that I want to get but I can't remember the names of including one about killer gnomes and I have been trying to remember what that one was for over a decade now but no matter how much I think about it or look into movies with killer gnomes on Google I can't remember it. Have you seen 'The Reaping', 'The Messengers', 'The Glass House' and 'Long Distance?' 
I totally agree here DebLovesBeccy
those are definitely another
awesome set of underrated films
here and ones I have seen too .
Again thanks so much for the reminder on these as well .
Also another good one I just got through watching today too ( and haven't seen this one since it was brand new back in the day also ) .

Re-watched the Tim Curry It for the first time in about a decade. Still pretty solid, even in the shadow of the 2017 film. Only flounders in the final act, really.

The Witch (2015/16) - 7/10
Honestly it didn’t do much for me until the third act. A pretty wicked film with some disturbing moments.

"The Howling" (1981)
Second only to "An American Werewolf in London" as my top werewolf film, this has a great self-referential sense of humour (lots of in-jokes for buffs) in addition to working as a genuinely scary horror film. The cast, music, and makeup / creature effects are all top-notch. |

A most excellent put write-up here too BTW
and I totally agree with you here heysweden
both of these top werewolf films
are definitely memorable
classic fun popcorn flicks
that really does have a bit of everything to these also
( and I never tire of these 2 awesome films here either ) .
These 2 fine films certainly make my Halloween horror film list
for the month of October also .
Thanks so much for the reminder of these films as well . |

Had a double watch of The Dunwich Horror (1970) & Midori (1992). Two very different extremes. Old school, doom-laden horror build-up is the name of the game for this very loosely inspired Lovecraft tale “The Dunwich Horror”. Dean Stockwell mugs every shot with his cold, bug-eyed glances, while Sandre Dee is mostly in a daze. The stirring score is right on cue and art decor with its colour arrangement is striking. Crafting a psychedelic vibe, but the back-half turns real schlocky with monster POV shots and the odd laughable effect. The glacial pacing can be a little hard going at times. “Midori” is a disturbing, perverted and twisted horror-fantasy anime Magna adaptation. The heavy confronting themes do tear away at the central character’s psychological make-up, virtually kicking you in the guts and sticking with you long after it finishes. The animation is raw and scratchy, but only adds to the seediness & WTF factor. Not for the easily offended.  |

To Hell & Back /and Spookers.
The first is a rather revealing, and candid documentary on horror icon Kane Hodder & the second is an enjoyably looney, and personally reflective documentary about a former asylum turned performing arts spook house in New Zealand.

Thanks for letting me know about that one too mszanadu. I think I might have seen that one but I am not sure so I will have to look into it. I have seen so many Horror movies over the years I forget the names of some of them and don't remember I saw them before until I am watching the movie and it starts coming back to me and that can be annoying when it is a Horror movie I like and want to buy on DVD and I rented a lot of Horror movies at my local Video Ezy years ago that I want to get but I can't remember the names of including one about killer gnomes and I have been trying to remember what that one was for over a decade now but no matter how much I think about it or look into movies with killer gnomes on Google I can't remember it.

Bride of the Monster 1955, directed by Edward D. Wood Jr, staring Bela Lugosi, Tor Johnson, Tony McCoy, Loretta King and others. In the Florida Everglades a missunderstood genius are experimenting with creating a super race with atomic powers, and an octopus, or something like that. Having read and heard about how awful this movie is, it's better to see and make up your mind by yourself, and yes it's awful. It's fun to at least have seen it. Are there octopuses in the Everglades? Creating the poster looks like it costed more, than making the movie:

I didn’t know about it either, until a friend lent it out to me other week. He said it wasn’t easy to come across, and had to splurge a little more money than he usually would. But it’s a very good doco, especially the personal stories about his childhood and of course what he went through after the fatal burn incident when starting up his career. Very emotional and inspiring. Not one to miss, if you get the chance. |

Beneath the Planet of the Apes 1970, directed by Ted Post, staring James Franciscus, Kim Hunter, Maurice Evans, Linda Harrison Charlton Heston and others. The obvious sequel to the 1968 classic. Not the letdown I remembered that I thought it was many years ago, in some parts it's actually not bad at all, while other parts are ridiculous or badly realized. Very impressive sets in the underground scenes. The movie starts where the the first ended, Heston disappears early in this movie and don't return until near the end, we follow another astronaut that has landed on the same planet that the earlier expedition landed on. I don't want to give away too much, if there is someone out there who hasn't seen this and the 1968 movie.

I don't want to give away too much, if there is someone out there who hasn't seen this and the 1968 movie. I felt the same way re-watching it at the beginning of this year. It’s really a film of two halves. I forgot how closely the first half resembled the original, but the latter half really took it down the unexpected path. I really liked this daring, somewhat imaginative side of the story when it goes underground, but indeed it felt sort of unfocused, and rushed in reaching its pay-off. Still a very solid sequel, although I might put it behind the next two sequels to follow. |

Ed Wood either didn't know, or just didn't care. Either way, the result is hilarious. This movie is what I like to call terribly good. That poster is the best thing about it. |

I totally agree here DebLovesBeccy
those are definitely another
awesome set of underrated films
here and ones I have seen too . Again thanks so much for the reminder on these as well . Also another good one I just got through watching today too ( and haven't seen this one since it was brand new back in the day also ) .
The " Wishmaster Films " are definite
favorites of mine here too
( and have all 4 films on DVD ) .
These also make my list of Halloween films
to watch for the month of October also .
I remember watching '' Night Visions '' on TV many years ago as well
but I'm not familiar with the film '' Never Look Down '' .
who played the Djinn in the
first 3 Wishmaster films
was excellent indeed .
who played the Djinn in the fourth & final film
as well .
Again thanks so much DebLovesBeccy
for your film recommendations and your replies here too .
