This one sounds intriguing Perfume: The Story of a Murderer and even has Dustin Hoffman

In 18th century France, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, born with no scent of his own, but with with a supernatural ability to detect the scent of others is driven to murder in order to create the perfect perfume.

Oooooh... the Cosmetics Killer!    Sounds suitably creeepy...  


Oh, just had a flash from the past!  Ok, so not horror in the classic sense, but a couple from Charlton Heston that were nice and creepy, as well. 

Soylent Green...
("Soylent Green is PEOPLE!!!")

&

Omega Man... 
Matthias and "the Family" gave me the royal creeps for ages, and I wanted bars on the doors and windows afterward!  I wasn't really all that impressed with the "I Am Legend" remake, except for the whole speed factor of "the infected". 

I saw most of these movies as a pretty young kid, though, and compared with today's tech and special effects they would all just be "old movies", but the storylines are all solid, and modern remakes could be done really well if the effort was made.  Not sure anyone could do them better than Charlton Heston, though... and even as much as Will Smith entertains me... he's no Heston.

Has anyone seen the trailer for The Black Swan? I am dying to see that one.

[Rani Zemirah]

Ooooh, that was suitably ooky!  Stalker flicks always creep me right on out!

There was a mini-series on the telly back in 1978 that was a real doozie! Written by Tom Tryon (Mac in In Harm's Way) and starring Bette Davis and Rosanna Arquette (age 19, her second appearance!) and a lot of other familiar faces.  The mini-series was 5 hours worth, but they have only released it as a 2-hour video. How do you cut 60% of a movie and have it hold up??!? It had a very frightening ending... I was scared of women for a long time after watching that!

[Rani Zemirah]

Ummm... did it have a NAME?!?   

[Ferret]

Ummm... did it have a NAME?!?   

The Dark Secret of Harvest Home.
Ferret

[Rani Zemirah]

Oh, yes, I remember that one!  Women were in charge of the town, and everyone observed old rituals, including human sacrifice, to ensure the harvest every year.  Same basic premise as Wicker Man, and several others in a similar vein... 

Cashing in on that whole Puritanical idea that it's always the women who are "in league with the devil"...   

[Merlin the Elder]

Wow...I went to sleep on that one...good catch Ferret. Gotta do something about this ADHD..

Two on a Guillotine was a fun spooky/comedy

I just ordered a copy of a film that is one of my "guilty pleasures" and I think fits into this cateGORY.  "The Keep" - this will be my Halloween movie this year!  Jurgen Prochnow, Gabriel Byrne, Ian McKellen, Scott Glenn, a demon, the Carpathian Mountains, World War II, the Wehrmacht AND Nazis, and a Tangerine Dream soundtrack that is intense.  This movie has it all!

*Evil laugh* We are......

I'm probably gonna have rocks thrown at me for this one, but I personally got a good scare from Blair Witch. Hid under the covers the night I saw it and couldn't even go down the wicker aisle at Michaels Crafts for months!
