say what you like but i think the british 60s/70s horror films even the series thriller in the 70s were far greater than the U.S. films like elm street/exorcist they appear so dragged out in comparison to me.

As a kid the Hammer horror tv series used to scare the shit out of me, particularly a show called The House that Dripped Blood.

Three words: Twins of Evil.

Hmm.

Was that a Hammer episode?

I got the title wrong above, it was The House that Bled to Death!

"
from tvtome:
Emma and William Peters and their young daughter, Sophie, move into an old house which has been empty for many years. Unknown to them, Number 42, Colman Road, has not been lived-in since an old man murdered his wife there. As severed hands and kukris materialize, while the house rains blood, the new occupants are terrorized. There is a shocking and unexpected climax, when Sophie makes use of one of her birthday presents to... well, we must not give the end away!"

yeah good one think its out on DVD now wasnt there 1 where they made out the house was haunted and it really was blokes weilding axes etc.

Hammer films are slowly making a comeback in association with the noted Queensland-based PiP film company. Good luck to 'em, especially if they can make the equal of splendid, unpretentious genre gems such as The Plague of Zombies.

blood on satans claw has to be 1 of the most well known ones.The Last Word wrote:

Wow! I remember that one too and I was similarly SHIT scared as a youngster, I have to admit that "The Exorcist" freaked me out totally too although I'm pretty immune to horror in general. "Pet Cemetary" was pretty disturbing as was a science fiction/horror crossover piece of nastiness called "Event Horizon" which was very good and very creepy.

I remember watching "Blair Witch Project" in the cinema and thinking, "This is complete shit, I wonder if everyone else is as bored as me?" On the way out all I could hear were comments such as, "Crap, " What a load of wank", "Did you think that was shit too?" and similar jibes which assured me I was not alone in my thoughts.

Of course when you enter adulthood NOTHING is as genuinely terrifying as letters from the Inland Revenue!!
