    Favs/dislikes: 5:9. A list of all the movies I have seen (that I remember...) and TV shows - if a TV show is checked, it means I've watched every season of that particular show. Thanks for checking my list out!

  7. The Horror/Thriller 1000's icon

    The Horror/Thriller 1000

    Favs/dislikes: 1:0. Years in the making and ongoing until I die, these are the essential titles for anyone interested in Horror, using a loose definition to encompass psycho-thrillers and many other sub-genres that often place these films on other Horror lists.

  10. Musta Peili - horror film filmography's icon

    Musta Peili - horror film filmography

    Favs/dislikes: 7:0. Full (appr.) 800 title filmography from the classic Finnish horror film book. Mentioned to cover the most important titles from 1906 to 1985. The title order is original to the book, hence some year jumps. Still missing the titles that dont't have their own chapter, I'll be adding them next. Missing titles (not found from IMDb): - L'Homme qui rit (France, 1909)
  11. Horror Film: A Critical Introduction's icon

    Horror Film: A Critical Introduction

    Favs/dislikes: 3:0. All the films mentioned in the book [url=https://books.google.co.uk/books/about/Horror_Film.html?id=Q2WkDAEACAAJ&redir_esc=y]Horror Film: A Critical Introduction[/url] by Murray Leeder. [quote]Throughout the history of cinema, horror has proven to be a genre of consistent popularity, which adapts to different cultural contexts while retaining a recognizable core. Horror Film: A Critical Introduction, the newest in Bloomsbury's Film Genre series, balances the discussions of horror's history, theory, and aesthetics as no introductory book ever has. Featuring studies of films both obscure and famous, Horror Film is international in its scope and chronicles horror from its silent roots until today. As a straightforward and convenient critical introduction to the history and key academic approaches, this book is accessible to the beginner but still of interest to the expert.[/quote]
  12. Fantastic Cinema (Peter Nicholls)  700 fantasy/horror/sci-fi films's icon

    Fantastic Cinema (Peter Nicholls) 700 fantasy/horror/sci-fi films

    Favs/dislikes: 28:0. This extensive appendix in Nicholl's book lists 700 fantasy/horror/sci-fi films,1902-1983. Note that it is not a 'best of' list. While some films are must-see classics, others are z-grade junk - there's even a few TV-movies in the mix. Nicholls may be academic but he's no snob - like Danny Peary, he believes in seeing all types of movies. Most of these appended films are reviewed in capsules (the others have already been discussed in more detail in the main body of the book). He gives titles a dual rating, one for quality (stars) and another for squeamishness (skulls). Interestingly, Nicholls embraces a broad range of movies in his critique, including the James Bond series (because of its sci-fi overtones with gadgetry, supervillians, etc) and films with a surreal, psychological, or dreamlike approach. You'd have to be a true film fan to watch the wide range of titles here - everything from Monty Python and the Muppets to Russian silent films and Italian zombie gore.

A list of films which include monsters as the main plot, these films include such creatures as extraterrestrial aliens, giant animals, Kaiju (the Japanese counterpart of giant animals, but they can also be machines and plants), mutants, supernatural creatures, or creatures from folklore, such as Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster.

Listed in alphabetical order.
  16. The Mammoth Book of Slasher Movies Chronology's icon

    The Mammoth Book of Slasher Movies Chronology

    Favs/dislikes: 23:0. Lifted from the Chronology of Movies section of Peter Normanton's "Mammoth Book of Slasher Movies," which would more accurately be described as an overview of gore/exploitation movies than a history of slasher movies. This replicates the order of the chronology as printed in the book, so all examples of movies being out of chronological order in the below list are mistakes made in the original publication.

  23. Tim Wambolt's Goriest Movies Ever Made's icon

    Tim Wambolt's Goriest Movies Ever Made

    Favs/dislikes: 56:1. The personal choices of Tim Wambolt for the goriest movies ever made, as seen on the now-defunct Running with Scissors website. Tim Wambolt's current lists are found on his website at [url=http://www.goryvideogames.com/]http://www.goryvideogames.com/[/url], but this list is currently based on the original Running with Scissors list which included hundreds of honorable mentions. The list is ordered by amount of gore, and everything after 97 should only be considered an "honorable mention". This list is currently incomplete due to IMDb not having listings for some of the short films and more obscure titles. Movies Missing: 76 Chunk Blower 81 A Thousand and One Nights 89 Meatday (aka Vleesdag) 114 Vadias Do Sexo Sangrento 163 Splattenstein 175 Chainsaw Scumfuck 228 El Trivial Exterminador 2 231 Litio 256 Girl and the Wooden Horse Torture 274 Splattenstein Death Camp 288 El Trivial Exterminador 348 Photomation 360 Photomation: The Avenger 398 Samhain: Night Feast
