In Reply to: Most original horror pic....really fun & creepy.. posted by RC on August 06, 2004 at 20:25:37:

Moon over Tao. This is really fun... samurai, evil sorcerer, good geomancer, a blood thirsty monster, gallons of sake and some very interesting aliens (who said alien encounters only happened in the 20th century?)

Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust is a visually stunning anime.
Vampire Princess Miyu OAV 1 and 2, and Petshop of Horrors are rather eerie little anime.

Onibaba a classic psychologial horror (B&W Criterion collection)

Kaidan/Kwaidan a 60's color colletion of 4 classic Japanese ghost stories.

Yokai Monsters-really goofy take-off on the ancient legend of the parade of 100 monsters.

Versus... modern tale of yakuza in a haunted forest where the victims just won't stay dead (a bit gory).

Chinese movies... Chinese Ghost Story 1, 2 & 3 are rather nice romantic yet semi-tragic ghost stories with some nice stunt work and action.

Mr. Vampire 1, 2, & 3 and The New Mr Vampire are comic vampire stories with a kung-fu twist.
