I still think of "old movies" as 1930s RKO films...

I just finally got my hands on "The Black Cat" 1934, Karloff and Bela Lugosi... awesome...

 

And also "Carnival of Souls", the original B/W flick... but this is from the 60s, too new... tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif

 

Buuuut... Evil Dead is the 1st one before Army of Darkness?

No, there's 'Evil Dead', 'Evil Dead 2', and then 'Army Of Darkness'.

I love bad 70s and 80s horror movies, but I don't consider Evil Dead bad, those movies rule in a good way.

Evil Dead is great, they opened my eyes to how good or bad old horror movies were/are.

I have to confess that I'm more of a fan of the older horror films due to the fact that they were suggesting what happened rather than 'showing' it - there is nothing more terrifying that what you're own mind can suggest.

 

One film I would definitely recommend is Robert Wise's original version of 'The Haunting' which was made in 1963. Everything in this film is implied as you don't actually see anything and, as a result, it is probably the most atmospheric film ever made. It may not be classed as particularly frightening, but it certainly is unnerving

Ever since i watched The Evil Dead series i haven't been able to stop watching bad old horror movies and loving them. I'm just not sure if this is a bad or really good thing.

Y'know what a bad thing is? YOUR SIG!!!! It's far too wide. Please make it skinnier so I don't have to use the horizontal scroll to finish reading your post. Thank You.
