I didn't know, and I've never seen these movies before....

Northville Cemetery Massacre (1976)

Night of the Sunflowers (2006)



So how about you? Can you name any unknown movie that you've never heard or seen before? I mean, Halloween and Horror please.

Of course, I do! So, anyone know there are other horror movies that you've not seen in the past? What about you, Jack?

Ginger Snaps (2000)
Director: John Fawcett; Starring Emily Perkins, Katharine Isabelle

For a horror sub-genre that is given scant attention, my list has two solid werewolf movies, both released in the past three years. However, whereas Dog Soldiers is an action packed werewolf gorefest, Ginger Snaps is a movie that is driven by characters and story. Two sisters, Brigitte and Ginger, are approaching puberty together. As best friends, the two often lament on their lives and talk about killing themselves together. When Ginger is bitten by a werewolf, their relationship begins to change. Ginger develops an animal-like lust, and gets a boyfriend. The two sisters spend less and less time together. However, as the full moon approaches, Ginger’s behavior becomes even more erratic – and dangerous. If you can imagine combining a teenage-angst comedy with a werewolf horror film, that is what you have in Ginger Snaps. The movie does a good job of addressing the change into adulthood from a female perspective (not that I know anything about that, personally) and has plenty of comedy sprinkled in along with the horror. This is a great example of how to make a good movie on a low budget.

Honogurai Mizu No Soko Kara (2002)
Director: Hideo Nakata; Starring: Hitomi Kuroki, Rio Kanno

One of the most recent movies by director Hideo Nakata, Honogurai… is an atmospheric horror film done in the same style as Nakata’s more famous film, The Ring. After her divorce, Yoshima Matsubara and her 5 year-old daughter move into a new apartment to begin anew. Almost immediately, strange things begin happening. Water drips from the ceiling of the apartment, despite attempts to fix it. Yoshima finds her daughter carrying a small red bag with another child’s name on it, even after she throws the bag away. Her daughter creates an imaginary friend that eerily has the same name as a missing child from the area. Nakata tells a classic ghost story here, and does so masterfully. Similar to The Ring, Honogurai… relies on the slow building of atmosphere before hitting us with a shocking climax. Though this movie might be too slow for some, it has many frightening moments and has a truly creepy atmosphere throughout. Sadly, this is one that has not been released in the U.S. I have seen it listed under the alternative title of Dark Water, which makes me think it was released in English somewhere. I have not seen such a version, however.

The Entity (1981): The Entity stars Barbara Hershey as Carla Moran, a woman who is attacked, beaten and raped by an unseen force. She struggles to figure out what is happening to her. She seeks the help of a psychiatrist, and later, a parapsychologist, in an attempt to put an end to the attacks. Is she going mad? Is all of this really happening? The movie is supposedly based on a true story. The movie is great, chilling, disturbing and very good! I love Barbara Hershey in this role. She is remarkable!

Probably not unknown to folks on this forum, but my husband and I had never heard of The Gathering (Christina Ricci) before he bought it on a whim. We enjoyed it. It is not exactly horrific, more supernatural suspense, I guess.

Carnosaur is one I'd list. It's a horrible B-movie that's almost laughable, but all together with it's sequels, it's so bad it's good.

Definitely a guilty pleasure. haha I like how cheesy it is.

100 feet. You'd never guess it was a horror/ myst / susp., from the title.

Probably covered and may not be considered horror, but its enough to put some fear in you. Back in the sixties when I was in grade school, a movie short called The Lottery was pretty freaky! its on youtube, I believe!

The Lottery is a very famous short story by Shirley Jackson (also wrote The Haunting of Hill House, on which the movie The Haunting is based). Yes, I'd call it horror. I didn't know it had been filmed, though.

Speaking of cheesy guilty pleasures- I always watch Tremors when it's on t.v. Anyone else guilty of that? I aways did that with Arachnophobia too. No idea why

I own all four 'Tremors' movies. I only enjoy the first one though. They're definitely cheesy though!

I also own 'Arachnophobia.'

I always feel like spiders are crawling all over me when I watch Arachnophobia
