Hello mates! Following Slayer's suit (example) I am planing on arranging a "Horror Night" at the dorm where I stay durring weekdays. Looking at my study schedule and taking into account that most partys (in the dorm) are hosted on thursdays I plan to do it on a monday night. There is a multimedia room at the bottom floor to accomodate 80 to 100 people which also has a nice projector and sound system - I yet have to have a look at them though. I planned to show 3 (maybe 4) horror movies giving the students a chance to vote which they would like to see. There would be a vote before each movie with some movie candidates. I planned to offer 4 choices for each vote. I kindly ask you to give me some good examples for movies and also why I should pick them. Later on we can decide which will go together into a voting. What I also need is to advertise this event. Usually coloured flyers are placed in different places (entrance, elevators, floors) of the dorm. I have noticed that Macabria seems to have a creative mind. I am happy for any help, because I know that design and graphical creativity is not my vocation. I also thought about wearing my dead-donkey T-shirt durring the event and using the dead-donkey as some kind of brand to advertise it. I hope spud reads this and allows me to do it. So please please please, post ideas, thoughts and any help. Thank you for reading until the end and for any help in advance! * Updated list of movies suggested so far (ordered by year):From the 21st century: - The Orphanage (2007) - The Deaths Of Ian Stone (2007) - Planet Terror (2007) - Inside (2007) - Hair Extensions (2007) - Black Sheep (2006) - Santa's Slay (2005) - Feast (2005) - Evil Aliens (2005) - Sars Wars (2004) - Shaun of the Dead (2004) - One Missed Call (2003) - A Tale Of Two Sisters (2003) - Kairo (2001) - Ju-on: The Curse (2000)

Evil Aliens & Feast:
Because these are by far the most entertaining comedy/horror/splatter films I've seen in the last 12 months

What's your intention with the movienight? Just pleasure, or...?
The horrornight I had, was part of a larger organised movienight and I had the purpose of letting younger kids know what horror used to be like in the 70s and 80s.
If you have that purpose as well, I'd recommend totally different movies to you than if you were having the purpose of showing the goriest movies you know, or you just want to have fun. The word "dorm" makes me think of students, so I guess your ages are like 20-25? This makes a difference also, you know

- Re-Animator
- Killer Klowns From Outer space
- Evil Dead 2 (duh)
- Planet Terror
- Critters
- Shaun of the Dead

Yeah, I loved Ravenous. That film surprised me, it was not what I was expecting.

From Beyond would be another good one, you could even take out Re-Animator since, whilst its a better film, more people will have seen Re-animator already
As for wearing your t-shirt, go for it I just ask that people do not wear the shirts when robbing a bank, slaughtering the residents of a small village, performing rape, etc. and other acts with negative connotations

I wish they did stuff like this at my college. Only movie I've seen there this semester was "Who killed the electric car?"

Why not throw some older, classic movies in the mix?
Some examples/loose suggestions:
Night Of The Living Dead (Great classic film)
Tales from the Crypt (1970's version)
Dawn of the Dead (original?)
Nosferatu
The Fly
Psycho (original. I know, probably seen it billions of times)
The Exorcist (more of a comedy these days)
The Omen
Rosemary's Baby

2 movies is not enough my friend. When I have a night like this at home we have a minimum of 4 movies.
We make a night and think 'fuck it' about the next day. If we have to have 1 day of being tired and feeling shitty then so be it, it is a small price to pay for the memories of a happy night before.
Nights like this should be an 'event', not merely a night when 'we watched 2 movies'.

I'm gonna show movies at my old students association, where I didn't invent the "Night of Bad Taste" grindhouse-like movieshowing, but I manned it the first time, then organised it all other times afterwards. Next one is gonna be the 6th time. I always show 4 movies there on the big screen.
This time they are gonna be:
- Zombie Lake
- 99 Women
- Voyage to the Planet of the Prehistoric Women
And I need one more, and there is so much to choose from...
I don't mean to hijack this thread, so if someone has options for me, please pm them. Options posted here should be for RedVeil's horrornight.

I found my last movie on this site: I'm gonna show Rush as the fourth film.
RedVeil: I really think you should reconsider the number of films. Two is just for wussies. Three is a minimum and you should really think about going even beyond that number.
