Upgrading to a better 3D projector just for this when it comes out in bluray. Oh and because Sandra Buttocks is in it.
My suggestion: Triangle (2009) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1187064/?ref_=nv_sr_1
I'm surprised they never made a Leprechaun album or included him in one with other movie monsters. A Jason Voohees and Michael Myers duet would've been great! They could've made a music video and everything!
Oh yeah: High Tension (2003) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338095/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Session 9 way way underrated.
I just watched the new Evil Dead. it was horrible and if anyone has seen the original, they know why it was horrible.
I have been meaning to see this. mainly because at that time, most US horror films were disappointing to me.

Good movie, creepy as hell. That was filmed at Danvers State Mental Hospital a few towns over from me. That place was creepy as f%*k! It was all but abandoned for years. When I was a "kid" me and a bunch of friends used to take "self guided tours" of the place. It's every messed up insane asylum stereotype you could imagine in that place, I couldn't imagine what the patients went through in there. Now it's condos, go figure.

THE SKIN I LIVE IN:
This isn't a typical straight up "scary movie". It's actually not that gory either.
The Skin I Live In works on more of a disturbing mind-fvck level. It presents the story shifting between the present and past events reveling appalling truths about the characters. In particular Dr. Ledgard played by Banderas here. Also, reveling who the woman trapped in his mansion really is.
This is a foreign Spanish language film.

Underrated Vincent Price classics:
The Abominable Dr. Phibes and Dr. Phibes Rise Again
Predates Jigsaw as the original trap master, Dr. Phibes character is driven by the love of his dead wife. In the first film, he seeks revenge against doctors who failed to save the life of his wife. He decides to take inspiration from the deadly sins and kill his enemies in a biblical style. In the second film, he goes to Egypt to try and revive his wife with ancient Egyptian magic. Vincent Price delivers another great performance, but what's unique about this one is that his whole face is covered by a mask that simply looks like him. Underneath is a skinless skull that would make Two-Face feel lucky. It's a great couple of movies and opts to be a little different and quirky compared to other horror films at the time, even now. There's a blend of drama and humor there that you had to wait an entire decade for, and even then, manages to do well without being grotesque for anyone not into gore. Worthy to have in a collection, it really does help make for a nice little marathon. Maybe have a "torture night" with some buds who really dig stuff like this.
Theater of Blood is not that different from Phibes in some ways. It's about an actor named Edward Lionheart who is constantly panned by critics for being too Shakespearan in his method. Too old fashioned if you will. Lionheart attempts suicide due to the lack of respect and inability to succeed in the acting world, but survives when a bunch of crazed folk save him and take a liking to him. Enough to follow him and gain revenge against each and every critic. In this one, Lionheart traps his victims, similar to Phibes, but he's far more torturous in his method. In one scene, he force feeds a fat critic his own dog, of which he chokes to death. Another, he burns a female critic alive inside a salon booth. However, before most kills, he recites a bit of Shakespeare. There was lots of Shakespeare qoutes in this film and it was a favorite of Vincent Price. He always wanted to do Shakespeare, but was always typecast into horror films. It seems like the 70s allowed him to flex his acting muscle a bit more to his liking. It's another great performance from him and just a general good horror film altogether.

Monster Brawl, pretty much a yearly fanvoted contest of which icon is better than the other. Some of the choices are dumb, but some are real good as well. It's fun and you can sign up for a contest to win some free monster swag.

A little break from movies. Read me a damn fine creepy pasta about an abandoned Disney park. Good stuff. I recommend reading it in the dark.
