Carnival of Souls

I just watched 1982 Poltergeist on Netflix. I forgot how good it is. It’s a very good horror movie with no gore. It should not have been rated PG tho. I highly recommend it.

Devoured (2012)

It's more a psychological thriller with horror elements.

Careful with the Poltergeist, OP, there is a pretty significant gore scene. 1982 gore, but Spielberg 1982.

I don't think Al was ever in a movie...

If you are interested in the classic Universal monster movies, Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1934) are essential viewing because James Whale was a genius. Whale also made The Invisible Man (1933) which is worth checking out. Tod Browning's Dracula (1931) has Bela Lugosi and some interesting scenes at the beginning, but overall it's dull, so skip it. Skip all the rest of them from this time (The Wolf Man, House of Frankenstein, House of Dracula, and so on), because they are all rehashes of the same thing.

Two other movies capture the essence of the classics. Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) is kind of a horror-comedy, but it's very good and captures a spooky Halloween vibe. And Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein (1974) also works as a comedy homage to the classic monster movies.

He was R11, very scary, very gory, but Tipper never asked them to put a warning label on it, so no one ever bothered to watch it.

Paranormal Activity, Blair Witch Project, but if you want to something really scary - Farenheight 11/9

Where is the gore scene R10? I missed it. The swimming pool ?

by Anonymousreply 15October 25, 2020 3:37 AM

Ahh ok. I googled it. The bathroom scene . It literally lasts 5 seconds but yes it is gorey and graphic! That scene alone. How is this PG rated. Did they not have pg-13 in 1982?

"The Wages of Fear"--French movie from the 1960s.

Scariest movie I've ever seen, and no blood. But it's a thriller movie rather than a horror movie.

the great Val Lewton series for the 1940s:

"Cat People"

"I Walked with a Zombie"

"The Leopard Man" (there is blood, but no gore)

"The Seventh Victim"

Some scary British horror films with no gore from the 1960s:

"Night of the Demon" (aka "Curse of the Demon")

"Night of the Eagle" (aka "Burn, Witch, Burn!")

Original HAUNTING is a classic.

Original CARNIVAL OF SOULS is a classic.

Honestly, those CONJURING and INSIDIOUS movies don't have much gore. The PARANORMAL ACTIVITIES are almost no gore. So was the BLAIR WITCH PROJECT they ripped off.
