Hey movie lovers! Here are my Top 10 Creepy Atmosphere movies that focus in the eerie idyllic Small Towns!
This is a video Ive wanted to do for a while, this is some of my favorite type of horror!
The Fog (1980) is one of the few movies that I can watch over and over again. The other main one is 'The Thing' (1982).
@stevenburgess2856 those 2 are on my easy to re-watch all the time list too
@@AVAPopCulture Both John Carpenter movies too! Most of his films are rewatchable 👍
@@stevenburgess2856 yep! He only has a few that I can't watch again and again
“Let’s Scare Jessica to Death” has scenes that are still in my head 50 plus years later. It should’ve been on this list.
My best friend and I drove through a snowstorm to see this movie in a theater when it first came out. 😂
Here from Cobwebs channel - great list, thanks!
hey! thanks for jumping over and checking out my video!! glad you enjoyed it!
Phantasm
I would argue that Pumpkin head is definitely a big one from the late great Stan Winston in his only Directed film, plus awesome creature design and effects as usual
Definitely 👍
Dead & Buried has good film cousins in Messiah of Evil (1973) as well as Humanoids from the Deep (1980). Atmospheric waterside evil menace.
You are like the 10th person to mention Messiah of Evil! I am gonna have to watch that one asap!!!!
The 1963 version of The Haunting is my absolute favourite.
I've watched it hundreds of times and it still creeps me out every time I watch it.
That! wallpaper. 😬
classic on that one!
Great film, and I enjoy how it frightens us without showing too much. It lets the viewer's imagination run rampant. King's _Rose Red_ miniseries owes a lot to that film and novel--- it is clearly an homage to the Shirley Jackson story in some ways.
Yep. King once again credited Miss Jackson as inspiration.
I agree with Halloween III, Season of the Witch. At first I thought it was kinda dumb. But each time I watch it, it gets creepier. Love Needful Things too!!!
it is one that continues to grow on me more and more as time goes on! love it
Halloween 3- yeah- the whole town weirds you out. Maybe not the best plot or dialog but you've absorbed the " uh oh" and can't get shed of it.
@@paulamiles9559 ha! that is a good way to put it!
This is really a great list. I might be jumping on this channel. Came here from The Cobwebs Channel. But this list is absolutely aces.
DEAD & BURIED? Ya damn right. I might go Top-5 Small Town Horror Movies with that one.
@honeychilerider love Daniel at cobwebs! Glad you came over to check out my video too! Hope you stick around and enjoy everything!
Dead and Buried was one I somehow missed my whole life and just found earlier this year and freaking loved it!! More fog in that movie than The Fog movie itself lol
I recommend the Wolfman with Anthony Hopkins. The secret window. The 9th gate. Pet semetery. In the mouth of madness. The mist. & eden lake.
Stephen King stuff and Carpenter stuff tends to show up in this type of horror doesnt it! lol Love the 9th Gate!
I love the 2010 Wolfman. It has a gothic atmosphere and great costumes and a shout out to Geraldine Chaplin as Maleva the gypsy . The werewolf is a powerhouse and not the wimpy werewolves of True Blood.
Something Wicked This Way Comes is a favorite, as well as Amityville Horror, and the Fog, Samem's Lot... loved Moon of the Wolf with David Jansen, Barbara Rush, and Bradford Dillman from 70's TV as far as atmospheric in a small town. Perhaps some others. You had a great list. I came from Cobwebs. You guys both did great, he recommended your list, and would not duplicate yours. Glad he recommended you.
Great picks and great video. May I suggest a favorite of mine if you have not seen it. It is 1976 Burnt Offerings with Oliver Reed, Karen Black, Burgess Merideth, and Bette Davis. It gives you all the feelings you are talking about.
@@andrewbrown3070 I haven't seen that in forever! Need to revist it!! And thank yiu so much!!!
@AVAPopCulture and just a heads up, I bought a Blu Ray copy from Kino Lorber for $9.99 just a few weeks back. It had a slip cover as well.
@@andrewbrown3070 oh damn, I need to check that out, I am about to make an order from them!
Great to get the intro to your channel! You convey genuine love & enthusiasm for these movies!
Thank you kindly! I am glad you enjoyed it...I really do love movies and I enjoy talking about them....I think that is what keeps them alive!!!
And you are SO right about Halloween III: Season Of The Witch. That movie is SO underrated. Not out of nostalgia or ironically or anything, it's actually a really good FOLK HORROR movie.
@@honeychilerider completely agree!
You should read the book "Harvest Home" from the 1970s. Without reading anything about it. One of the perfect small-town, what's-going-on-under-the-surface novels.
ohhhh, I like books like that! I'll check it out!
Salem's Lot is a masterpiece. Personally its my favorite Tobe Hooper!
@beyondz55 it is great! I absolutely love it!
Ah a fellow GA native. Howdy neighbor!
Dark Was the Night is an excellent underrated small town horror. The whole movie has that dark gloomy snowy northern town vibe. Kevin Durand and Lukas Haas do a great job in it.
@silverpunk2427 dude! You are spot on!!! That was the other movie I was trying like hell to remember the name of to find again and watch again for this video and I couldn't find it!! 10000% this vibe! And howdy back neighbor lol
I came here to recommend that movie! Glad you mentioned it.
@@joangieseke8941 it's one of my favorites that I like to watch at least once a year.
@@joangieseke8941 it is a really good movie!
I grew up in a series of very small towns. My sister and I watched Needful Things together, and we both thought it perfectly captured the underlying pettiness and jealousies that simmer just below the surface of all small towns. Fodder for the devil, indeed.
as a small town kid myself, I 100% agree
Fantastic list, and video! I’ve actually had the Kino 4K of Needful Things for months and still haven’t watched it. This is the push I needed!
Thanks man! I think you'll like it a lot! I think the deeper your imagination is and the more you are the type of person that can pick up on things that are subtle but very creepy, the more you will love this movie! If someone needs a monster devil to jump out and slaughter people Freddy Krueger style, they wont appreciate Needful Things (or pretty much any movie on this list) as much! let me know your thoughts when you watch it!
Interesting sub genre that I hadn't considered! Based on this, I think you'd like:
The Brotherhood of Satan 1971
The Devil's Rain 1975
I agree with Dead and Buried, that was a shocker!
Also, please post your actual list in the description!
I need to check those 2 out!!! Oh man, If I post the list in the description, nobody will watch the video LOL
@AVAPopCulture No! We'll watch the find out what the titles are about! But of course, do as you think best. Thx for the video!
My favorite bit of Tom Atkins in HIII is when he is at the bar. There s this cartoon on and his reaction and irritation of the that and every aspect of his life is right there. It makes me laugh for how relatable that feeling is and just the Tom Atkins english on top..I love it.
@Aeon2Flux ha! I always like Tom Atkins but as I have gotten older I have become a bigger and bigger fan, love how that dude just puts the Tom Atkins juice into everything lol
I know it's not a horror movie, but the movie that atmosphere gets me everytime is Signs. I get goosebumps everytime I watch it. It makes you feel like you're actually there in the cornfield hearing the cornstalks rustling around you.
The Beast Within! The Boogens! Dark Night Of The Scarecrow! Theres 3 more small town creepy atmospheric films
I had Dark Night of the Scarecrow on my list before I shortened to 10!!!
@@AVAPopCulture🙈
I love your videos. Two movies I definitely would add are Crimson Peak and The Others. These are very atmospheric horror movies. 😊😊
hey! thank you so much!!! I really appreciate that! - those two are very very atmospheric -very heavy atmosphere, not sure if they give me the "creepy small town" vibes but they have heavy creepy atmosphere haunted house style!
What a great video! Perfect pics, Halloween 3 is so underrated, watched it for the first time two years ago and i will watch it every Halloween now, such a great movie. And side note, awesome your in Georgia, i am as well.
@briandaniels2408 thank you so much! And nice to have another Georgia native! There is another fellow Georgia native in the comments too!! And I 💯 agree on Halloween III
As soon as you mentioned creepy small town atmosphere, I immediately thought of my experience attempting to shoot a movie in Point Pleasant West Virginia. I won't even begin to tell that crazy, complex, and in some aspects unexplainable story. Let's just say that we never finished the movie. And, I know small towns. I grew up in Harlan County, Kentucky, a place called "Bloody Harlan" since, like the 40s. It's not easy for a small town to creep me out. Point Pleasant was... something. Lol.
@JerryRoark777 point pleasant the mothman!
@@AVAPopCulture that's what we were making a movie about. It descended into madness. It was a weird time.
The original "The Wicker Man". Very creepy small town (well, island, but same thing).
Also, did you know that "We Are What We Are" is a remake? The original is a Mexican film of the same name (but in Spanish, so it's "Somos lo Que Hay"). It has the same basic premise as the US remake, but is actually a *very* different story.
no, I didnt know that was a remake! The Wicker Man for sure is one with this feel!
The Fog is one of my favorites of all time! The score is perfect!
amazing atmosphere and the score helps that so much
Outstanding list! The fact that I love every single movie on the list thrilled me. I’m all about atmospheric horror also.
Just discovered your channel today and I said “If Dead and Buried” is not high on this list I would be disappointed.👍🏻👍🏻
@Kim15Coffman lol I really enjoyed Dead and Buried despite having missed it for the last 40 or so years 😅...I love this type of horror too, very deep thinking kind...and welcome aboard, I hope you hang around and enjoy the crazy ride!!
Dead and Buried was one of the best first time watches for me this year! I'm glad it made it onto your list 🪦
Yeah I really enjoyed the ride if that movie!
I loved this video and your picks! I’m going to do a blind buy of Needful Things and Something Wicked This Way Comes. I don’t know how I haven’t seen either, but I miss a few titles here and there. If I were to pick my favorite atmospheric horror films-since vampires are my favorite horror genre next to supernatural and creature features-I’d definitely go with The Fog, The Shining, Poltergeist, Near Dark, Fright Night, The Thing, Leviathan, The ’Burbs, House, and my all-time favorite film, no matter the genre, The Lost Boys.
@sodapopinski1810 you will enjoy those 2 films! @kinolorber has Needful things 4k with a slip cover right now on their sale!
The shining definitely has that vibe!! I think for me once the film moves into violent slasher type kills that you see the "star monster" like Freddy etc doing or even into comedy, it kinda takes me out of that slow burn, creepy, mysterious vibe that can still mess with your mind later!! But that's just me!
@@AVAPopCultureI am feeling ya here. With that take, I’d have to really reconsider my choices then. If the star or co-star is the atmosphere… hmmm I know it’s considered sci-fi… but it’s horror to me, I’d definitely put the original Alien in there. The Thing stays and so does The Shining. I’d have to really think on my other 7 titles.
Thanks for the heads up on Kino, I am a sucker for slip covers. I ordered Needful Things AND Sudden Death. I have to have my Van Dammage. I’m only missing Death Warrant but I’m thinking a 4k might be in the future, so I’ll wait a little bit longer!
Great picks brother. Thank you for recommending Dead & Buried, I’ve never seen it and it’s now at the top of my watch list.
A few others I would like to mention that I love in this category: In The Mouth of Madness, Let’s Scare Jessica to Death and Messiah of Evil (another seaside town horror).
I have just recently discovered your channel and I love your videos. Keep up the great work! 👍🏻
Thank you! I really enjoyed the vibe, atmosphere and journey of Dead and Buried! In the Mouth of Madness is a good one! I figured out pretty fast that this could have been a whole list of just King or just King and Carpenter lol - I need to check out those other 2!
Same with me on Dead & Buried. Just saw it for the first time a couple months ago and I thought it was great. Happy to have it in my collection.
@FightTheGoodFight. yeah I had just always skipped it for some reason but I really did like it...the very end creates plotholes but I enjoy the vibe and the ride
Thank You for the GREAT List and Video 😀
thank you so much for watching and the kind words! I am glad you enjoyed it! this was a fun one for me

Dead and Buried is amazing. Absolutely LOVE that flick. Of course, any horror film set in a seaside town where the director knows how to let things linger and vibe and create a spooky atmosphere, I'm going to be a big fan. Ti West is having a well-deserved resurgence but I've been watching his stuff since The Roost which I randomly found when I was in film school. House of the Devil is badass and I would say has some cool atmosphere but I remember The Innkeepers being moreso. That said, I'm not sure I'd put any of his stuff on a top 10 atmospheric horror list. This is a fantastic topic and one of my favorite aspects of horror, building and creating a super moody atmosphere that oozes off the screen that the audience can literally feel, that seeps into the marrow and stays with you. I'd highly recommend 1973's Messiah of Evil. 2022's OffSeason was really rad and had some cool atmosphere. I might need to save this topic for a future vid! Awesome! 👻
@VideoGhoulash I haven't seen Messahi of Evil or Offseason but I will check them out! You know we like a lot of the same vibes so it doesn't surprise me that you really love this type of horror too! I'm with you man, I like stuff that sets such a mood and feeling that it is overall engrossing and pulls you in and stays with you
It's not in the creepy small town category but I really enjoy the atmosphere of the movie Dead End (2003). Lot's of people hate the movie because of the ending but the journey to get there is fantastic. I only mention it because it has a similar vibe to the creepy small town type movies. I'm sure there's some creepy town movie I love that I've forgetting but for the life of me I can't think of one to add that you haven't already covered. The closest I can come up with is The Burbs but that's more of a comedy. I guess Lost Boys and Silver Bullet also kinda fit. Pet Cemetery? Lots of Stephen King stuff. lol
@ClellBiggs yeah stephen king is the KING of this...I wanted to put Silver Bullet, The Dead Zone, Children of the Corn etc but I didn't want to make it an all king list lol
The original nightmare on elm street
@Whosthis761 definitely has some of that vibe and I considered it but for me, once the movie goes for slasher tyoe kills etc it moves away from this eerie/creepy/unsettling vibe that creates an atmosphere and mystery and sparks your own "what the hell" type imagination...kinda more of a subtle slow burn set in...
I like your list for the most part. I know I'm going to miss a whole lot, but here is some that I would pick. Of course The Thing, Halloween II, Amityville II, Burnt Offerings.... And some 70's Occult movies, The Devil's Rain and The Brotherhood Of Satan.
Just found your channel through The Cobwebs Channel. Thanks so much for sharing. I believe they have been working on a big renew of Salem's Lot. Unfortunately, there have been some delays and issues with releasing it or if it's been filmed yet. I've been hearing about it for a couple of years. Hopefully they do it soon. When you mentioned the late night DJ, it make me think of the 1979 movie The Warriors. Not horror, but kind of creepy about a gang running for the lives through the streets of New York City one night and you have the DJ who's kind of following them and reports on and off through out the movie. Thanks again!!
oh awesome! I am so glad you found your way over, I love my man Daniel over at Cobwebs! I hope you enjoy my videos enough to hang around :)
I did just hear an update that it looks like the new Salem's Lot is going to be released direct to streaming so I guess we will see what happens... I just hope it is really good becuase I enjoy the original and the book!
KILL BABY KILL -- not so much a town as a village, but drenched in Mario Bava's unique atmosphere.
Hitchcock's The Birds was genuinely scary - the diner scene with the characters especially gives it a creepy, small town vibe.
Stephen King is almost his own category of juxtaposition small town nostalgia with horror.
Nice list - I really want to rewatch The Fog, and give Halloween III a chance.
give those 2 a chance!!! It took me a long time to warm up to Halloween III and now I love it!
Love the atmosphere of The Funhouse. Not the greatest slasher movie, but a good one. And it nails the carny atmosphere that propels it to "great" territory. Great list man.
@davidsmith653 thanks man! That carny atmosphere can be very creepy and heavy
Awesome list, Chase. You've definitely inspired me to do a list of my own about "Creepy Atmospheric Movies" in a small town for next month. I'll tag U in it 👍🏾.
@@ACEARCADIA thanks! I'll check it out! I love this type of horror
It doesn't take place on a small town (but on a deserted island) but check out one of my faves, a hidden gem from J.S. Cardone: THE SLAYER - shot on Tybee Island. Watch it late at night... And yes, make it a double-bill with MESSIAH OF EVIL. 😉🎥
Another great top 10, great list.
thankyou so much! glad you enjoyed it! this was one I had been wanting to do for a while
I was about 75% of the way through this video thinking, where the hell is Tim Curry’s It lol? This movie has the ultimate eerie town feel. Another one I think is a good atmospheric eerie movie, it’s a more modern film, but Robert Eggars The Witch.
LOL it was on the way hahaha! I think it sets the standard for that... I still have not seen The Witch!
Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Carnival of Souls, Village Of The Damned, a lot of those older black and white movies feels really creepy. I would add Prince Of Darkness and Nosferatu the Vampyre, Klaus Kinski as Dracula makes this movie really creepy.
You mentioned several that I was considering for the list and pretty early on I realized it could be an all King and Carpenter list lol
King, carpenter or Wes Craven
@@paulamiles9559 1.Carpenter 2.King 3.Craven
Great picks, that kid hovering near the window in Salems lot is chiseled in my brain and i saw that movie back in the early 90's. Any thoughts on Mandy?
@ocfloydian the window scene is scary and iconic! I have actually not seen Mandy! I am a big Cage fan though, I will report back when I watch it lol
I can't wait for the 2024 'Salem's Lot' coming to Max! Excited but nervous I should say...just because I love the book so much and want it to be great🙏
Great list of creepy atmospheric movies, gotta see some of those you mentioned. Idk if you ever seen The original Children of the corn & The howling @ even more recent movies like 40 days of night & MKnight’s Signs.
Oh just wanted to mention Amityville horror was filmed in Amityville Long Island New York. The house I believe is now a museum I think
@user-do6cj1fs3w oh yeah, Ive seen the original children of the corn and the howling countless times! I wanted to add children of the corn but didn't want to make this an all stephen king list lol (same with wanting to add silver bullet to this list)...The Howling definitely has atmosphere but I feel like the action and fx etc take away from the creepy eerie settled in and unsettling realism feeling that these movies I mentioned have to their advantage! There are several like that - 30 days of night etc that the action/violence actually change the atmosphere for me...by that's me! Lol
Yes! LONG ISLAND lol...I had a brain fart and couldn't think of it to save my life lol...I never script anything so everything I say is off the cuff and from memory so sometimes I just can't pull the fact quickly enough to keep the video flowing 🤣
@@AVAPopCulture it’s ok, it happens. Keep up the good work 👍
IT is definitely got a freaky vibe, Blood Tide (1982) and Enys Men(2022) have that folk horror kind of atmosphere , both set around the isolation of small islands
@@neildavies9234 I'll make sure to check out Blood Tide and Enys Men! Yeah IT can really settle in on you
Halloween 3 is great I saw that on tv as a kid! The 1st two are great but it’s one of my favorites. I’ve actually never seen Needful things I’ll be getting it now thanks. Something wicked this way comes has a Blu-ray. Watched the Fog for the 1st time when the 4k came out such a great film. The watcher in the woods also has creepy atmosphere.
You will enjoy Needful Things!! I need to check out "The Watcher In The Woods"!
Check out Carnival of Souls from criterion, it’s my absolute favorite
good movie! I just watched that recently actually!
I agree with most of these. I learned about some new ones!
hey man if I can even turn 1 person on to a new movie they can check out, then that makes teh video worth it!!!
DEAR FRIEND, what is your Bluray player and sound system at home? If you could answer I would appreciate it.
@@tiagorocha8659 I mostly use a Sony XM800 region free 4kuhd and bluray player
Thank you for bringing up Something Wicked This Way Comes. I've been a fan of that one since it first came out in theaters. I literally joined the DMC for the Blu Ray, but it's definitely one that would be perfect for a boutique label to do. 👍
@javasmark I'd love to see a boutique do it but it is Disney, so it will be done by Sony if it is done...but it is crying out for a 4k and a fancy release!! It is actually a very creepy/scary movie
@@AVAPopCulture Hey sir!
Before I continue, I should tell you I love your channel and keep up the great work!
But, yeah, Something Wicked was done dirty from the get-go. So few people have even heard of it. My Dad used to work at the Disney Studios around the time that movie came out and I remember going and walking around the gazebo in the town square and how eerie it felt.
Anyway, it's an all-time favorite for me and I'm glad someone else appreciates it. 😃
@javasmark hey thank you so much for the kind words and watching! I really do appreciate it! And I love Something Wicked this way comes! Very underrated and is never given credit!
Actually I think Stephen King's The Outsider should be on this list too.
I really had to spread the love because I realized really fast that this could be an all King list... Outsider may make it into a TV series version of this list I am working on!
Love the pumpkin 🎃! It looks so good!! 😘
@@RiciaJastrow yes it does! Thanks babe!
Ghost story 1981
that one definitely fits!
Ghost story 1981.😊
@@popey129 that is a great one
The Blob, Poltergeist, The Innkeepers, Urban Legend, Behind the mask - Rise of Leslie Vernon, Severance 2006🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
You should really check out Messiah of Evil (1973). Similar vibes to both Dead and Buried and The Fog.
I havent seen that one but if it is anywhere near those 2, I am in!!
Been a long time since I watched Needful Things. I need to watch it again. 🎃
@SouthofSanityCandles I'm picking it up in 4k on the Kino Lorber sale...for some reason it is super expensive because even at 40% off it is still $26 whereas thr 4k of Cujo is like $15
Max Von Sydow is perfect as the evil owner of the antiques shop in "Needful Things". I just ordered it .
absolutely perfect casting!
Silent Hill 1999.
You know I'm all about horror videos!
@@Franksmediaandreviews I've been wanting to do this one for a while!!!
I love The Village.
I never understood why people didn't like it. Who cares whether The Twist was as good as The Sixth Sense or not, the whole movie is just really, really good.
@@honeychilerider agreed! And I will be getting the soon to be released 4k!
I would never tell you House Of The Devil has atmosphere 😂 I did tell you it felt very 80s & I still stand by that, but your kinda right it maybe a little more late 70s feel, super early 80s feels. They kill Greta Gerwig in it so it’s a win for me 😂
@thelastmoviestanding 100% that scene was worth it all lol...
You didn't tell me it had atmosphere but I had 3 other people tell me I should consider it for this list and if you Google search best creepy atmospheric movies, it will pop up on every list lol
Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992)
@@Red-mb3lz it definitely has atmosphere!
Night of the Creeps
Great one! and should be coming to 4k from Scream Factory very soon!
Interesting choices thanks for the recommendations

@@thelastmoviestanding I told you, I get bored and need to play with it lol
Atmosphere? Try "The Legend of Hell House".
havent seen that in forever!
Great list!
Never seen Needful Things. Gotta get my hands on that 🙂.
I would add 30 days of night 🙂 snowy small town setting like Storm of the Century 🙂
@Daniel_Lindqvist you will like needful things, Kino Lorber has the 4k on sale right now with a slip cover... I considered 30 days if night but for me when the gore and action violence get so over the top, it takes away from the eerie unsettling realism in the atmosphere...great movie though!!
Salem’s lot did get a Best Buy steelbook.
@JoeFoster-e9h isn't it still a bluray though? I'm really wanting a 4k!
@@AVAPopCulture sadly yes
And that kid at the window still gets me too!
why repeating so many times the same words?! "and deeper and deeper and deeper..." 1 minute later: "and over and over and over" MAN
I think the new wrong turn and requiem if you did not mention also freeway 1/2
@ozzy.....7383 I feel like Freeway has too much action and is too fast paced to cultivate that eerie settled in atmosphere but I need to re-watch
Pumpkinhead.
The Howling
The original house on haunted hill actually creeper the hell out.
@JaySway17 100% agree!!
@AVAPopCulture I think the 50s and 60s are an underappertied era in horror. Hell I can't believe I didn't think of Nosfertu either as an honorable mention
Pontypool should be on this list. Check it out.
@@jonthejonjon6500 pontypool is one I considered for sure - it is going to pop up on another list I'm doing here soon!!
Great list, there’s a couple on there I need to check out! Halloween III & The Amityville Horror creeped me out so much as a kid. And Tom Adkins slingin dick will be stuck in my head forever 😂
For me I would add The Dead Zone, It Comes at Night and the Japanese film Cure, to this list. And I would also add The House of the Devil…lol. I do agree with some of your thoughts and feel it felt more late 70s, possibly 1980 or 81 but i thought Ti West captured that time well. I was completely immersed in that film from start to finish. The great thing about films and especially horror is what creeps us out is subjective and quite personal
@TheTylerpoe I certainly did not hate House of the Devil but I am probably going to tackle it in a video of it's own or in a director's spotlight video (a new series I'm going to start doing)
"Tom Atkins slinging dick around" may be the greatest sentence ever 🤣...gotta give @TheOriginalFuzz that credit because it is so perfect and I'll use it forever lol...
The Dead Zone is one I considered for sure along with Children of the Corn and Silver Bullet but I saw this quickly turning into a stephen king list lol...
@@AVAPopCulture I actually just picked up Children of the Corn recently, I honestly don’t think Ive watched it since my parents rented it on VHS. That was back in the early days when we would rent a VCR as well….lol
Another dynamic to House of the Devil is I discovered it completely randomly so there was zero expectations for me. I knew nothing about it and just stumbled across it. Might have felt differently if it had been hyped up. A director series sounds really cool !
@TheTylerpoe yeah, the hype train can definitely affect things...that's why I was considering tackling this film on my overhyped movies series but with the spin of how over positive hype can also hurt movies....
The flip side can be true too...I had always skipped over watching the movie "Chopping Mall" because it was so bashed and made fun of by anyone who wasn't a hard-core horror fan (and even some who were) BUT I got on a Barbara crampton kick and watched it the other day and loved it lol...all the ridiculous 80s cheese and fun with a Roger corman type flair...so that was hype influencing me the other way!
I haven't seen children of the corn all the way through in probably 25 years either...I am picking up the Arrow version though..
With the spooky season coming up, I try to watch a horror movie every day for 31 days. How about a list of your go to for every spooky season?
You got it! I will do that list video for sure!
Dracula (1979).
The Stepford wives (1975), not the awful remake
Time stamps my guy...time stamps
@markreed1623 man, it already takes longer than you realize to film, edit, export, upload, and fill out the Metadata without adding timestamps that would just have 90% of people skip the video
The Tom Savini remake of Night of the Living Dead is definitely one that falls in this category. It's because of the atmosphere of a isolated rural community that makes it so great and it's my personal favorite of any of the films that wasn't made by Romero but exceeds his orginal vision. I feel it's the film that laid the blueprint for The Walking Dead series and I'm sure it inspired the comic and series. Another one underappreciated for this is Phantoms.
Funny you mention Phantoms because I kinda brought that one up in a video not long after this when I did a re-watch of the new 4k! totally fits this vibe!
@AVAPopCulture Well, in that same vibe, I would ad The Blob. Phantoms take several of the same beats. Lots of my Army buddies loved that with several reading the book because of it, but Dean Kootz novel is a bit different. Much like anything Michael C. ever wrote, though it's a crime what they did to Timeline. Like I told you, if it's one most people haven't even heard of, I probably have it in my collection.
@@anthonymerchant2597 I have probably not seen the Blob in 25 years! I need to grab that 4k and watch it!
@@AVAPopCulture I got a digital only copy of it on Fandago, it's still really good. Man I I would love to share notes with you on films, we seem to have a lot of very similar tastes in them. I don't feel the need to get everything on 4K but I enjoy that feeling getting something I forgot about or hadn't seen in years to see if the films still hold up. I just watched your video from favorites from 1987, which I also seem to have several of.
@@AVAPopCulture I recently got a digital copy of it and it's still a great watch.
Growing up in the 90s, the R.L. Stein Goosebumps covers. Love them! And they are creepy and fun at the same time.
@kevin-gayrebelamerican8047 there are definitely a lot of TV shows that do this vibe amazingly
watcher in the woods by disney is another cool movie thats creepy.
I havent seen that one! need to check it out!
