when she was in the shopping mall and the people didn't hear her it got a bit chilling and twilight zone vibe. no blood but an eerie mood, like i think real good horror movies should be like. i was about to get this on the catcom release, but then i realised it was featured on a elvira's horror classic dvd!
nothing but memories, echo in a ghost house,
a heart robbed of life,
a soul left to cry,
as my eyes go off sailing,
and it keeps on raining,
lord i don't know where to head now,
from now on in sight only grey sky,
doomed to be alone,
she abandoned my ship,
and with noone to share the treasures with,
it might as well turn into a ghost ship,
while i cry and act like a fool,
its something love makes grown men do,
in the fog no lighthouse comin through,
all thats left for me memories in this gloom.

Taste Of Fear (1960) is a creepy British one.
The Queen Of Spades (1948), also British, eerily playing with Dostojewsky.
Gaslight (1944), atmospheric classic mystery.
Vampyr (1930), Danish eerie nightmare.
-I don't discriminate between entertainment
and arthouse. A film is a goddam film.-

I saw "Carnival of Souls" for first time tonight. Had heard of it before but never had chance to see it.
It first off reminded me of a basic creepy feeling like "Night of The Living Dead" (original version).
The other movie that came to mind while watching it was William Castle's "The Night Walker" (1964).
Starring Barbara Stanwyck. Screenplay by Robert Bloch (best known as author who wrote the novel "Psycho").
"The Night Walker" has the same type of overall creepy feeling about it.

Burnt Offerings
Its from the '70s, but has similar chilling qualities.
The Haunting of Julia
is another atmospheric chiller from yesteryear.
"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

"Also, one that "scarred" my Gf for life 9she says)THE MAZE."
Geez-L-Petehigh maintenance much ?

I second NIGHT OF THE DEMON. Really a top-notch horror film of its day, IMHO.
Also, one that "scarred" my GF for life (she says) THE MAZE.

Dead Of Night (1945)
British anthology horror movie. A group of people gathered in an old house and each tells the story of something strange that happened to them.
It's been years since I've seen this so I don't rememberr a lot of details.
I don't know if it's currently available on DVD but I shouldn't be too hard to find a used copy (or VHS).

since nobody mentioned it, night of the demon is quite good.. as is black sunday, haxan, and the japanese films kwaidan, and onibaba. to second some already mentioned masterpieces.. the innocents, THE HAUNTING, freaks, kill baby, kill, vampyr, night gallery.. all really great older horror films. i think probably the scariest two in my mind are the haunting, and bava's kill baby, kill.

MAD LOVE 1935.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this one yet but check out House on Haunted Hill if ya get the chance! Make sure you rent the 1959 original. Skip the remakeit's pretty much crap in my opinion.
The thing is Bob, I'm not lazy! I just don't care!

The Innocents is really creepy, I haven't seen Carnival of Souls (but i'm going to today!), but both films sound similar in the fact that both are ghost stories made with little to no effects!

Second The Innocents, and on a similar tip, more genteel though still creepy as:

(For the clickshy that's MR James's 'Whistle & I'll Come to You' with the great
Michael Hordern, and a nice helping of bottomless dread.)

Also, "The Innocents" , and "Night of the Eagle"

Let's scare Jessica to death

I remember reading about Night Tide on my old account from your post, and now that I've finally seen it it has become one of my favorite films, so thank you!

Try SOLE SURVIVOR from the early 80's. Very similar to CARNIVAL OF SOULS in atmosphere and creepiness. It takes place during the holiday season without being about the season. It's just been released on DVD and it's beautiful!

Any movie that can be both scary AND a Christmas movie AND watchable with your grandparents AND great is a very impressive feat! Long live Reverend Powell!
