I've always been a fan of the Halloween franchise, all except 3. That should've never been part of the franchise, although I do understand why it's included. Even like Rob Zombie's remakes. 
Love Halloween III, part of the franchise no, but as its own standalone movie it's one of the best to capture the holiday feel. I won't comment on Rob Zombie's remakes. 
Why not? The man is demented.
I even have Ed Gein stories from my Grandmother, Grandparent's summer cabin was in that area. True. Skeeeers the chit outta me. This is where all the Chainsaw massacre movies originate from. Not a fan of Zombie's films. And thank you for knowing the origin of the Chainsaw Massacre films, despite over the years of Tobe Hooper repeatedly telling how he got the idea for the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, there's still some people that claim its based on a family of cannibals that lived in Texas. |

how can you not be a fan of 'night of the living dead'... and it's nice to see the progression from 'night of....' to the fun, light-hearted romp 'zombieland'...warms the heart, doesn't it... Zombieland is fun, especially love the whole Bill Murray scene, but for current zombie flicks (as in the last 10 years) I still prefer Shaun Of The Dead, Pontypool, The Dead, Dead Snow, The Battery, Juan Of The Dead. Also, the Dawn Of The Dead remake was a lot of fun, sadly the followup with the Day Of The Dead remake was dismal. The 1990 remake of Night Of The Living Dead is great, but the 2006 Night Of The Living Dead 3D, yeesh. |

28 Days Later/28 Weeks Later (but only because of Robert Carlyle and Hawkeye aka Jeremy Renner) There's supposedly a 28 Months Later in the works. |

OK we get it, Torgo doesn't care for Zombie's movies.
Just watched one of the Afterdark Horror films called "The Graves", interesting movie with D.Randall Blythe, Bill Moseley, and Tony Todd. |

Some other recent films that managed to creep me out:
Absentia (the director would go on to make Oculus) The Pact (2012) Lovely Molly Head Trauma The Innkeepers (from Ti West who gave us House Of The Devil) The Tunnel Movie (found footage) Other modern goodies: The Sacrament (Found footage directed by Ti West) House Hunting The Shrine The Cottage (2008 with Andy Serkis) Jugface Doghouse (another fun British zombie flick) Tucker And Dale VS Evil I Sell The Dead (homage to the Hammer films of the 60's) The Seasoning House Frankenstein's Army (Found footage set during WWII) American Mary Ginger Snaps trilogy Pretty Dead (found footage) Diary Of The Dead (found footage zombie flick) Byzantium (excellent vampire movie) Stake Land (another excellent vampire movie) Contracted [REC] Chillerama (super raunchy and cheesy anthology that pays homage to the scifi/horror films of the 1950's) I'm a fan of Larry Fessenden's films: Wendigo (2001) The Last Winter Beneath (2013; I'm a sucker for nature gone bad flicks) Also love Lucky McKee's stuff: May The Woods The Woman Red (not to be confused with the Bruce Willis movie) I was very letdown by McKee's newest movie All Cheerleaders Die. Awful. |

28 Days Later/28 Weeks Later (but only because of Robert Carlyle and Hawkeye aka Jeremy Renner) There's supposedly a 28 Months Later in the works. Not a joke just a rumor that keeps resurfacing, it's something that's been talked about since Weeks was released, even Danny Boyle has said that it's something he has thought about developing over the years. |

This is where all the Chainsaw massacre movies originate from. ed gein is the inspiration for american horror story (bloody face) too. love that series. one just came out on bluray...well at my library. idunno if folks who buy them have had access for ages. I'm going to have to check out Bloddy Face. Usually I can not sit through a skeery movie. My adrenaline goes through the roof. Actually, I had to get rid of my House of 1000 Corpses DVD (I didn't buy it) because at the time my son would watch it when I was outside gardening or something. He was too young for that garbage during the divorce. Yeah, Grandma had a book on Ed Gein too. Gross, the pictures in it of the corpses and what he had done.  Then stories of somebody sneaking around at night, knocking on the door, when she was alone up there and grandpa was still at the farm down south in the state. Then later that week, the gun store shooting when they caught him at it all. Bartenders went missing also before that.
My dad was a deputy sheriff, and made prisoner transfers, and he had seen Ed Gein at Wapuan Prison, actually they let the sicko out around town on good behavior. |

Could be, but he was at Waupun Prison. Could be that they couldn't take care medically of the dying prisoners. http://www.murderpedia.org/male.G/g/gein-edward.htm yup, Mendota Mental Health Institute. |

Well thankfully Zombie had Bela Lugosi as an influence for his craft.

Speaking of Gein- besides Texas Chainsaw Massacre being influenced, there's also Psycho, Three On A Meathook, Buffalo Bill in Silence Of The Lambs was partially influenced by Gein (among other serial killers), Deranged: Confessions of a Necrophile (starring Roberts Blossom decades before he played the lovable old guy in Home Alone)
In The Light Of The Moon is based on Ed Gein, Steve Railsback does a decent job playing Ed. And then there's the awful Ed Gein: The Butcher of Plainfield, worst casting ever. Kane Hodder besides being way too tall and being built like a Mac truck, just doesn't have the acting chops to pull that role off convincingly. |

Ed's mom would sit and read to him from the bible constantly too as a child. He was awfully attached to her. *shudders* "A boy's best friend is his mother." |
