Post subject:  Classic movie suggestions

Every year at Halloween, I host a horror film game show at the community radio station I work for. Basically, I play various audio clips from classic (and not so classic) horror movies, and people have to call in and identify which movie the clips are from.

Here's a list of the movies I have already used:

An American Werewolf in London (1981)

The Mummy (1959)
the mummy
The Omen
the others
The People Under the Stairs
The Silence of the Lambs
The Thing That Couldn't Die (1958)
The Wolfman (1941)
The Tingler (1959)
Theatre of Blood (1973)
urban legend
Villiage of the Damned (1960)
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane
Young Frankenstein


Every year I like to pick at least 1 movie from each of the genres of horror - vampires, werewolves, psycho killers, ghosts, zombies, monsters, etc. Obscure movies aren't really fair to the audience (but can be fun if the movie has good cheesy lines), and if the movie is too big, it will be identified too quickly.

So I'm asking for suggestions for which movies I should use next year. Movies that at least 1 person out of 10 should have heard about. (No foreign titles please, unless they are originally made in English.)

I'd also love a suggestion of another good Peter Lorre horror movie besides 'The Beast With Five Fingers'. I was dismayed to find out he never actually played the part of Igor in any movie (even though I've heard many imitations of Igor done in a Peter Lorre style voice.)

Thanks!

How about:

The Gate (1987)

Other than that, this site is dedicated to horror movies. There are many classics here you only have to invest some time and search. I am sure you will find many interesting movies. :wink:

They all sound like great suggestions! Keep 'em coming, (but take your time. Just watching the ones already posted will take a few days! :P )

The problem I have with selecting movies from the releases here, is that there are soooo many to choose from. I have done extensive research on the matter though, like reading reviews, top 100 lists, and rating scores. I have gone to Wikipedia, IMDB, Allmovies, and a many other horror fan sites. It's how I compiled the list above. This is the first time I have ever requested suggestions online. I couldn't think of a better place to ask.

Thanks! Give me time to watch all of those (some again), and I'll post when I need more.

@ Admin: Perhaps this thread should be moved to 'Horror Fanatics Cabal'. Just noticed that section today. (oops)

Hmm... that should be in my list, (let me fix that.) The 1941 Frankenstein version of that line is good because that's the first movie (as far as I know) it was said in. I've always thought the version in Young Frankenstein made a better audio sample though IMHO.
