Re-Animator 1985- H.P. Lovecraft's tale of a young medical student's efforts to re-animate the dead.
Blacula- 1972- Black vampire stalking the streets of L.A. Doubtful anyone would notice today!
The Thing with Two Heads- 1972- Rosevelt Greer and Ray Milland united in a bizarre medical experiment. From the "so bad it's good genre.
Dead/Alive- 1992- Not for the weak of stomach. Perhaps the most over the top horror movie of all time. Mowing the lawn will never be the same.
Night of the Living Dead- 1968- Yes, it's been played to death but what a show!
Dawn of the Dead- 1978- Sequel to the above but with more graphic gore. Fun at the mall fer shure!
Fright Night- 1985- The ol' zombie next door trick. Great ending where the Vampire gets enlightened.
Evil Dead- 1983- First of three Sam Raimi Evil Dead trilogy. College students spend the weekend with The Necronomicon and some uninvited guests.
Plan 9 From Outer Space-1959- Widely regarded as the worst movie ever made (my vote goes to Cleopatra). Bela Lugosi's last flick (in fact he died while making this bomb). The incredibly bad acting plays second fiddle to the even worse special effects. Love the buttons dangling on strings for the effect of flying saucers flying over LA!
"Fright Night" was a great vampire spoof; Roddy McDowell was excellent in
his role of vampire-slayer. "Fright Night 2" was OK.
I liked "Reanimator"; also "Dunwich Horror" and "From Beyond"; all based
on the Lovecraft stories.
There is a flick, "Last House On The Left", directed by Wes Craven, supposedly based on true events, I want to eventually see. Roger Ebert
and Leonard Maltin gave diametrically opposed reviews of this film, which
is reputed to be not for the squeamish. Speaking of Craven, I have liked
all the films I've seen of his: "The Nightmare On Elm St Series", "The
People Under The Stairs", "Serpent And The Rainbow", "Shocker", etc.
