I really love all 13 mentions, especially Brainscan, The Cell, The Frighteners, The People Under the Stairs, Arachnophobia and Nightbreed. Sad to know these amazing films were so overlooked in the past. At least now we love and respect them. Alien (1979) & The Thing (1982) also were met with harsh criticism though. The Cell has amazing visuals. Not many people know but they took some inspiration from Madonna's Bedtime Story music video
critics are definitely payed off sometimes... how they could hate "the thing" and "alien"? cheers for the madonna video info, ill definitely check that out,
Brainscan was most dope! If Frank Languella is in a thriller YOU WATCH IT. Arachnophobia was great especiallly the shower scene and the viewer knowing what’s there and what’s going to happen but watching it play out was terrifying. Also people under the stairs was sooo good.
Brainscan will always have a special place with me. I remember renting it on video and watching it over at my friend's house when I was about 15 years old. Such happy, carefree times.
I caught it around the same age, late one night on the movie channel during the mid 90’s and I was like WHOA. It blew me away how good and trippy and eerie it was, also liked ghost in the machine, and mans best friend, but they don’t hold a candle to brainscan. It’s like a super darkened extended version of Are You Afraid of the Dark with a Hard. R rating.
Trick r' Treat was one of the best surprises I've ever had with film. I've been hoping for a sequel for years. The people under the stair is well due for a reboot. Great film.

Seen them all except the remake of House on Haunted Hill. The OG Is great, the Black and white make it even better. Havent seen number 1. I thought it was the Metal Tricknor treat with Ozzy. That's a good one too 🤘🏾😁🤘🏾
I really appreciate this list. 13 Ghosts is finally getting the attention it deserves and The Cell was AMAZING! The visuals... the acting... imo J Lo's best performance.
Another fantastic list of underrated movies that I might have continued to overlook, if it weren’t for your channel. Thank you so much for the diligence and care you put into every video of yours, highlighting the upsides and trade offs to watching such almost forgotten gems.
Respect to you for being with me on that. Thought I was one of the only people who worshipped this movie. Always cried my eyes out with the guy in the sun. So sad. The characters were so good. Peloquin and Shuna Sassi were brilliant.
@@VinylSamuraisMusic Yes, and Cronenberg as an actor? Guy was creepy AF, a perfect serial killer and we got cheated out of seeing him once he was brought back from the dead. I think its more frustrating than ever to not have a sequel when all Hollywood does is sequels and reboots now....
@@theblackflame4002 agreed. Let’s dream a second. 30 years later and Boon and the Nightbreed are in a new home and the monsters are again under threat. Decker has found them with the priest and it’s down to Boon to stop decker and save the nightbreed. 4 part TV show along with a directors cut 4hour movie. I can dream!
Totally agreed! It would be perfect for this list or even the dead zone. Mouth of Madness was shot so well from its long shots to the close ups of Sam Neil unraveling. It’s such a fun differently molded horror, the idea of a book so powerful it creates madness! Wow. Plus all the elements of love craft Ian cosmic horror and Carpenter blends it all together and makes it work well. Very underrated
People Under The Stairs, Nightbreed, Brainscan were those movies we'd watch at my friend's house before sunrise. The Frighteners was an instant classic for me; friend rented it back in 97 one weekend and we loved it. That's a movie that deserves a rewatch at least once a year.
I feel Carpenter made the best horror films all the way up till Village of the Damned. That was an ok movie but then they started going down hill real fast.
I stopped being afraid of the dark around age ten. However, when I saw House on a Haunted Hill at age twenty I experienced that childhood fear again glancing around my room wondering if I was truly alone in the dark.
I remember watching Thinner when I was younger. Not really a home run, IMO. I remember 13 Ghosts immediately being a "cult classic" when it came out because it was so cheesy yet simultaneously violent though, it hit a weird note for sure. I remember the last one on the list that was a little Halloween miniseries was pretty decent as a younger teenager. Another cheesy/bloody flick that doesn't get toooo gory; it kind of stays in it's lane, so to speak.
Great video Marvelous Videos, I really enjoyed it!! Please make a video of the entire Robocop Franchise, which includes the Movies, the live action TV Series, the 2 Animated Series, Mini-Series, Video Games, Comic Book Adaptations / Crossovers, merchandise etc.
I guess I'm more of a horror movie buff than I thought. Ive seen almost all of these and they're awesome. The frighteners and brainscan are still 2 of my favorites. Arachnaphobia although a great film will never be seen by me again. I hate spiders so once was more than enough.
Wes Craven should have at least 3 on this list. He was just finding his footing, and they are really odd (but that is what makes them not only UNIQUE but also MIND GRIPPINGLY GREAT! The People Under the stairs is a perfect example. The other two are Nightbreed and The Serpent and the Rainbow.... and yes, I was old enough (rated R) to see them when the released to the theaters
Some real gems on this list. I think "Arachnophobia" suffers from too laughable a tagline: "Eight legs, two fangs & an attitude". Makes it sound like a silly spoof. The occasional light comedy never gets in the way of the terror or compelling performances. Another feather in the cap of the amazingly versatile Jeff Daniels, with a terrific supporting cast, including John Goodman, Stuart Pankin, Julian Sands & Henry Jones. Michael Constantine should've won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for "Thinner". "The People Under The Stairs" is a great mixture of horror & satirical edge, also with great performances. Didn't realize this was inspired by real events. How ominous! "Brainscan" & "The Dark Half"-- also very underrated. Surprised this list didn't include "Spellbinder" (1988), "Stephen King's Sleepwalkers" (1992)-- King's first time writing directly for the screen, 'Tremors" (1990), "Monkey Shines" (1988), "Anatomie" (2000) &/or "The Serpent & The Rainbow" (1988). Maybe these are on other lists.
13 Ghosts is such a riot. It's definitely not a great movie, but it's just so much fun to watch. Same with House on Haunted Hill. I own both of these and love busting them out on nights when I want something cheesy and spooky.
The children under the stairs movie! I remeber it so differenly to what it is now. When i saw it as a young kid i thought it was the most traumatic movie experience of my life to that point. I was shook by it. I have talked about it as a movie my new friends just have to watch if they love horror ever since. NOW it is nothing like it was, now it is almost tame and silly. But it will allways be one of my alltime scary movies. MOST of these are on my entry list of horror and dear to my heart. 13´t Ghost is one of my alltime favorites too!
Great list! Honorable mentions: Night of the Demons(original version), Night of the Creeps. There are more but I can't think of anymore as I post here.
17:57 I remember when I first saw trailers for The Cell, it kept reminding me of REM's Losing My Religion MTV... then to find out years later it was directed by the same guy.
"Nightbreed" was CUT to pieces. I think there is an uncut version somewhere. I thought "Trick-R-Treat" NEVER got the praise it deserved. I usually don't go for "compilation" movies, but I enjoyed every tale in that movie.
You can watch the directors cut of Nightbreed on Tubitv.com for free. There are some ads, but nothing too extreme. The directors cut is so much better then the theatrical release.
A company called Shout Factory released the longer Directors cut of Nightbreed, it's definitely better, I own the blu-ray. Apparently there is some kind of fan made cut out there called the Cabal cut, it's even longer, I've never seen it.
Man I always forgot what that movie John Connor was in was called. I gotta find it now. I watched that movie 100’s of times when I was younger. Awesome flick.
I don't think many people put much stock in critics anymore. But I'm not sure why any horror fan listened to them. Critics have always considered horror beneath them.
I liked thinner because it’s a horror / Gangster movie at times. “He was a Mook but he was my Mook” Richie the hammer! Which is great because we get to see Joe Mantegna play a Ganster which he is truly perfect for hints his voiceover of simpsons mobster
The list is great aside from House on the Haunted Hill & 13 Ghosts, that was that trend in the late 90’s early 2000’s with that style of ghosts and such The Grudge, Ring. and so on. Most horror movies from the late 90’s all the way up until recent really sucked IMO, some were amazing though The Cell as you mentioned was great, Tarsem Singh is an underrated genius and I don’t think anything he’d done really got noticed The Fall, Immortals even that Wizard of Oz show he did were all gorgeous. Exorcist III is probably my favorite one maybe cause I seen it in theater when it came out and it still holds up, George C. Scott is the man, and mentioning things seen in theaters The Frighteners is also amazing as is Night Breed.
Hate Arachnophobia. Terrified of spiders. 🙈 The People Under the Stairs is awesome & so creepy! I loved Nightbreed too. I remember playing the game with my cousins when I was little. It scared and delighted me at the same time.
Crazy. A list of all my childhood faves...finally. People STILL aren't catching onto 13 ghost , house on haunted hill, the Frighteners , the haunting ....fn A+ films. They don't make um like that anymore.
You could do an entire episode on the Dark Castle films. I'll be the first to admit Ninja Assassin may have been a bit cheesey but still enjoyable. Otherwise they were honestly impressive movies. House on haunted hill is a classic (dark castle version).
The People Under the Stairs, Arachnophobia, Nightbreed, The Frighteners and House on the Haunted Hill is my favurites here. I wish "Lord of Illussions" also were in this video as that great movie tanked too.
The film 'The Cell' with JLo, the dream sequence in the desert I am sure was filmed in Namibia - SW Africa ( I may be wrong) but it looks like a place called 'Sopkeswoud' or something like that in German, that means ' Ghosties Wood ' in English. I think its in the Namib Dessert near Sousousvlei, reputedly the highest sand dunes in the world. When I visited 'Ghosties Wood' in the early 90s there was literally only 3 colours visible - red, white, and blue. Then if this was filmed there. then the bizarre lanscape is natural and is not some special effects. Red earth, bleached white trees and a totally cloudless blue sky - quite remarkable and quite weird, perhaps hence the name 'Ghosties Wood'
I remeber me and my friends going to Blockbuster and Hollywood Videos to rent most of these movies when I was in high school. So many memories. I'm so old now. lol
The Exorcist III is an aboslut masterpiece. Why it got lost has probably a lot to do with the atrocious second installment that left people feeling hopeless about the franchise.
Nightbreed was great. Awesome story & truly underrated. Sidenote: I saw 13 ghosts as a teen in theatres & was on mushrooms at the time. So I saw an even better version and it was in 3D 😵😁✌
@@CashelOConnolly idk who your question was directed at but Yes I read Kabal in my early teens. After seeing Night Breed as a kid. Books are always better than the movies they are adapted from.
Wolfen starring Albert Finney and an early Gregory Hines role as a morgue medical examiner was overshadowed upon its 1981 release by other 'wolf' movies The Howlimg and An American Werewolf in London (Wolfen did receive generally good reviews ... but this horror movie is the rare scary blood letting movie with a point: check out the native Indian backstory relation to the wolves hiding in the city underground, barely ahead of extinction). Exorcist 3 is on the list for a cult movie that failed at the box office with bad reviews. George C Scott and Brad Douriff shine. I'm sure The Exorcism of Emily Rose was not a success at Box office nor did its story of a priest on trial really garner much praise or excitement, initially. But, EOER excels with Laura Linney (skeptical defense attorney) and Tom Wilkinson as the priest accused of neglect in the death of a young college girl who he says was possessed. Great court room drama (whouda' thunk) with flashbacks of good girl (Jennifer Carpenter) offering some chilling body and facial contortions et cetera. EOER receives good reviews now, but still, does not seem to be mentioned/talked about very often.
I know The Frighteners was a critical failure at the box office but could they still make a remake of the movie? Because that would be so awesome if they did Because it's one of my favorite horror/comedies
This was by far in my top 5 vhs tapes that I would record from rented blockbuster movies! Along with NBK natural born , the doors , fear and loathing ,lost highway , all the alien movies. I used to get stoned and watch this like daily this movie deserved a academy award for visual effects and set desig. And it actually had a good plot and I was rooting for the killer. The scenes of like all his victims like on they’re cells like his barbie dolls when he was a kid, the horse getting split into slabs and u can see it’s insides still operating and the torture scene was cute I gotta see this again I ha went watched it I. Years …
Love Brainscan it's soo 90's with it's virtual reality concept. Reminds a bit of lawnmower man another movie I enjoy. But yeah Nightbreed such a classic love the visuals on it and I damn near wanna see a remake of it.
I loved the people under the stairs! I used to watch it on late night tv as a kid. Arachnophobia is awesome but also hard to get through since I am arachnaphobic!
Thinner would have been more successful had they went with the more horrific makeup. If any of you haven’t seen “The Exorcist III” it really is a fantastic movie. It was hard to get some of my friends to watch it after the flop that was E II. The Cell is what got me into Vincent D’Nofrio I even watched that Law and Order he was in. There is a really good cover of Don’t Fear The Reaper at the end of Frighteners. These clips brought back some good memories.
Could y'all PLEASE match your categorised videos with your narration volume? I Have your narration turned as high as I can and I still can't hear the movie clips clearly..... I particularly noticed it in the movie clip preceding "Thinner'....
Arachnaphobia, the dark half,13 ghost, house on haunted hill, the frighteners, the cell, thinner, the exorcist III, trick r' treat. All i have seen. All are marvelous. The people under the stairs, nightbreed and brainscan are the only one i have not seen. But now its only 12. You said 13?
GREAT list, first of all. And secondly, my bad..., you had Night Breed in there... that will teach me to wait till the end to comment! Lol Exorcise 3 was a really good movie but, unfortunately, Exorcist 2 sucked donkey dung! It kind of killed the enthusiasm for the third movie. I don't remember as big of a marketing campaign for 3 either... Trick R Treat 8s my all time FAVORITE Halloween movie... While Jack's tale is great, my favorite is the "bring a dork to dinner" segment. We also get to see a couple of endings to different tales within it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this movie for Halloween or any other night! It IS the It's a Wonderful Life for Halloween, just not aired near as much. You can usually catch it on SiFi channel around Halloween... it is starting to get a lot of airplay around then on that and other channels....
And i know that Thir13en Ghosts also was a remake of an original movie and that it also was a critical failure at the box office but could they make another remake of the movie? Because it's one of my favorite horror movies
So this is basically a list filled with my favorite horror films. I love it!
"Thir13en Ghosts" is one of your favorite horror films....? My condolences
Saw a Trickster thumbnail, came for Brainscan.
Great movie, dont know anyone else that ever saw it. Man did I want that dudes room, he had everything!
I loved Brainscan!!!
Trickster is highly underrated character! He’s like a combination of Loki, The Joker, and a little bit of Freddie Krueger .
In the Mouth of a Madness.The People Under the Stairs and Nightbreed are my favourites. Lost count of how many times I've watched them
In the Mouth of Madness is sadly underrated. Have you seen the directors cut of Nightbreed?
I really love all 13 mentions, especially Brainscan, The Cell, The Frighteners, The People Under the Stairs, Arachnophobia and Nightbreed. Sad to know these amazing films were so overlooked in the past. At least now we love and respect them. Alien (1979) & The Thing (1982) also were met with harsh criticism though. The Cell has amazing visuals. Not many people know but they took some inspiration from Madonna's Bedtime Story music video
critics are definitely payed off sometimes...
how they could hate "the thing" and "alien"?
cheers for the madonna video info, ill definitely check that out,
Look for the Cabal cut of Nightbreed.
www.dreadcentral.com/news/290944/the-history-of-nightbreed-the-cabal-cut-new-footage-revealed/
People Under The Stairs had a bit too much rap "music" (which is one of the LAST damn things that I want in a HORROR movie).
Brainscan was great. Such a fun movie
Brainscan was most dope! If Frank Languella is in a thriller YOU WATCH IT. Arachnophobia was great especiallly the shower scene and the viewer knowing what’s there and what’s going to happen but watching it play out was terrifying. Also people under the stairs was sooo good.
Brainscan will always have a special place with me. I remember renting it on video and watching it over at my friend's house when I was about 15 years old. Such happy, carefree times.
It took some time, but I finally own it on blue ray! Loved it! 🥰
Same for me a childhood favorite
I caught it around the same age, late one night on the movie channel during the mid 90’s and I was like WHOA. It blew me away how good and trippy and eerie it was, also liked ghost in the machine, and mans best friend, but they don’t hold a candle to brainscan. It’s like a super darkened extended version of Are You Afraid of the Dark with a Hard. R rating.
❤
Those days were epic, I don't think they could be repeated
80s and 90s
Many of these films I've seen, some many times
23:36, Trick R Treat! Love it! A fun Dark Comedy Horror film.
Trick r' Treat was one of the best surprises I've ever had with film. I've been hoping for a sequel for years. The people under the stair is well due for a reboot. Great film.

🤘🏾😁🤘🏾
@@KenSwiatek LOL, Didn't even notice until you said it. Maybe it's a tease for an upcoming video... xD

The Frighteners... what an AMAZING movie! At first I wrongly supposed it was a comedy but soon I couldn't stop watching! xD
Yes, I like Frightener
It was a comedy that takes a hard turn midway through! Loved it!
Oh no you are amazing
Nightbreed was wide open for a sequel yet we never got one, instead we got decades of awful Hellraiser sequels
I just re read Cabal. Clive Barker is sooooo good!
Respect to you for being with me on that.
Thought I was one of the only people who worshipped this movie. Always cried my eyes out with the guy in the sun. So sad.
The characters were so good. Peloquin and Shuna Sassi were brilliant.

I would add "In the Mouth of Madness" to this list. So good but never talked about.

Yeah ive counted. Its only 12
@@tenebre99 There’s an orderly with a swollen set testicles who swears otherwise
I remember seeing that and Lord of Illusions rented from the video store the same night. Love em.
I liked that movie too
Man Vincent friggin Donofrio. One of my favorite actors of all time. The Cell is insanely good. Even Yennifer Lopez did a great job.
People Under The Stairs, Nightbreed, Brainscan were those movies we'd watch at my friend's house before sunrise. The Frighteners was an instant classic for me; friend rented it back in 97 one weekend and we loved it. That's a movie that deserves a rewatch at least once a year.
@6:41 first time seeing Michael Rooker with hair. He's much better bald.
John Carpenter's underrated Prince of Darkness is one of my favorite movies....
John Carpenter must have pissed off someone in hollywood.
all his great movies get shit on, and they are loved by people who watch them
Agreed, also InThe Mouth Of Madness.
@Mary Feather i wish i could disagree "OBEY" ;-)
I feel Carpenter made the best horror films all the way up till Village of the Damned. That was an ok movie but then they started going down hill real fast.
Good shout
I LOVED The Frighteners! Criminally-underrated film.
Arachnophobia was FAR from a critical failure and it was a monster hit on VHS.
i know right x'D
Dark Half is as under rated of a King novel as you'll find, and same for the movie which was a damn good adaptation
They used my Grandfathers old red pickup truck in that movie😊
I've seen all of these flicks and this is an absolutely superb list. If anyone hasn't seen any of these, change that!
I stopped being afraid of the dark around age ten.
However, when I saw House on a Haunted Hill at age twenty I experienced that childhood fear again glancing around my room

The Exorcist III with that one jumpscare with the nurse - damn. Still remember my heart pounding from that one. Good stuff.
AWESOME LIST!!!!!! The Cell and The House On Haunted Hill are two of my favorites still to this very day!! Hitting the subscribe button now!
The Cell was always underrated. I remember being a kid and ppl saying J-Lo was actually acting well in that movie lol.
I saw it in a theater. Old favorite of mine.
The whole "showing the inside of a mind" thing was gold, in the sets and imagery for sure.
She was good but Vincent Donofrio is AMAZING!!! The visuals are also stunning.
@@korie4198 Donofrio is one of the Greats. Always amazing. He made me a fan with full metal jacket.
@@yasuke9317 Ditto. Me, as well
Damn straight!! Saw it in the theater, in high school. Loved it immediately!!
I always loved Frightners. Peter Jackson makes a cameo in the film as well as a metal head that mr. Banister accidentally bumps into.
I had either the VHS or DVD of literally EVERY film on this list growing up. What a great, nostalgic list. Thx!
I guess I'm more of a horror movie buff than I thought. Ive seen almost all of these and they're awesome. The frighteners and brainscan are still 2 of my favorites. Arachnaphobia although a great film will never be seen by me again. I hate spiders so once was more than enough.

Some real gems on this list.
I think "Arachnophobia" suffers
from too laughable a tagline:
"Eight legs, two fangs & an attitude".
Makes it sound like a silly spoof.
The occasional light comedy
never gets in the way of the terror
or compelling performances.
Another feather in the cap
of the amazingly versatile
Jeff Daniels, with a terrific
supporting cast, including
John Goodman, Stuart Pankin,
Julian Sands & Henry Jones.
Michael Constantine
should've won a Best Supporting
Actor Oscar for "Thinner".
"The People Under The Stairs"
is a great mixture of horror
& satirical edge, also with
great performances. Didn't realize
this was inspired by real events.
How ominous!
"Brainscan" & "The Dark Half"--
also very underrated.
Surprised this list didn't include
"Spellbinder" (1988),
"Stephen King's Sleepwalkers" (1992)--
King's first time writing
directly for the screen,
'Tremors" (1990),
"Monkey Shines" (1988),
"Anatomie" (2000)
&/or "The Serpent
& The Rainbow" (1988).
Maybe these are on other lists.
13 Ghosts is such a riot. It's definitely not a great movie, but it's just so much fun to watch. Same with House on Haunted Hill. I own both of these and love busting them out on nights when I want something cheesy and spooky.
I've never heard of The Dalk Half, I'm definitely going to check it out though. Thank you.
Excellent call outs - sometimes critics just don’t understand, THE DARK HALF is a wonderful film I.J.S.
The children under the stairs movie! I remeber it so differenly to what it is now. When i saw it as a young kid i thought it was the most traumatic movie experience of my life to that point. I was shook by it. I have talked about it as a movie my new friends just have to watch if they love horror ever since. NOW it is nothing like it was, now it is almost tame and silly.

Great list! Honorable mentions: Night of the Demons(original version), Night of the Creeps. There are more but I can't think of anymore as I post here.
Demons (The original) used to s**t me up when i was a kid..Those eyes
13 ghost needs another remake but darker with a shit load of gore.
The best part of the movie was the DVD extra that explained all the ghosts......it's here on RUclips also. Needed more of that 💟
13 Ghosts just didn't click with me, was it PG-13, probably ...
Yes!
Agreed
It will be remade with high production value but lack soul. Look at essentially ANY remake of horror flick post 2010.
Big Ed and Nadine... How could you !!! ??? I guess that the gas station and the noiseless drapes never hit it off ?
House On Haunted Hill, and 13 Ghosts, we're originally made back in the 60's. But the remakes we're much better! But I also love the originals, too.
23:10
... or the "Cabal Cut"-version or the upcoming "Ultimate Cabal Cut"-version.
I'm really looking forward to it! :)
I've been curious about that cut, but I do have the Shout Factory directors cut blu-ray.
I assumed Arachnophobia was pretty successful. I vaguely remember it being big news and the film everyone was talking about on TV.
it was a fairly mainstream movies and spent weeks at #1, so not really a cult classic.
I remember seeing it as a small kid🤔
Yeah it was a big film back in the day..I remember the hype surrounding it
17:57 I remember when I first saw trailers for The Cell, it kept reminding me of REM's Losing My Religion MTV... then to find out years later it was directed by the same guy.
I am surprised that arachnophobia was not a box office success. It had TONS of hype when it came out.
"Nightbreed" was CUT to pieces. I think there is an uncut version somewhere. I thought "Trick-R-Treat" NEVER got the praise it deserved. I usually don't go for "compilation" movies, but I enjoyed every tale in that movie.

I'm glad I found this channel, it's been very fun
One of the best lists I've seen on RUclips. The only one I've never seen was Brain Scan, or maybe I did and just forgot. But a brilliant list. X
'House on haunted hill' gave me so many damn nightmares as a kid xD
Saw it at the movies in 8th grade and loved it. Start to finish it’s a solid watch!
I love the original with Vincent Price.
So cool to see the thumbnail has Trickster. Waiting patiently for this one
I liked thinner because it’s a horror / Gangster movie at times. “He was a Mook but he was my Mook” Richie the hammer! Which is great because we get to see Joe Mantegna play a Ganster which he is truly perfect for hints his voiceover of simpsons mobster
Remember watching "the People Under the Stairs" on Joe Bob Briggs MonsterVision way back in the '90s and it blew my "pre-teen" mind!!
THAT flick had a bit too much rap "music" (which is one of the LAST damn things that I want in a HORROR movie).
The list is great aside from House on the Haunted Hill & 13 Ghosts, that was that trend in the late 90’s early 2000’s with that style of ghosts and such The Grudge, Ring. and so on. Most horror movies from the late 90’s all the way up until recent really sucked IMO, some were amazing though The Cell as you mentioned was great, Tarsem Singh is an underrated genius and I don’t think anything he’d done really got noticed The Fall, Immortals even that Wizard of Oz show he did were all gorgeous. Exorcist III is probably my favorite one maybe cause I seen it in theater when it came out and it still holds up, George C. Scott is the man, and mentioning things seen in theaters The Frighteners is also amazing as is Night Breed.
'In the Mouth of Madness' is another underrated gem in my mind. The whole movie is a metaphor for the Bible... 😈👾👽
It’s more about a new doxa dogma,like with others books jn History,religious,politic,ideologic.
Like the Ash social experiment.
Word
It's very Lovecraftian, and underrated for sure.
Hate Arachnophobia. Terrified of spiders. 🙈 The People Under the Stairs is awesome & so creepy! I loved Nightbreed too. I remember playing the game with my cousins when I was little. It scared and delighted me at the same time.
Was actually happy to see Thinner on this list. Now that’s an underrated horror movie.
Crazy. A list of all my childhood faves...finally. People STILL aren't catching onto 13 ghost , house on haunted hill, the Frighteners , the haunting ....fn A+ films. They don't make um like that anymore.
You could do an entire episode on the Dark Castle films. I'll be the first to admit Ninja Assassin may have been a bit cheesey but still enjoyable. Otherwise they were honestly impressive movies. House on haunted hill is a classic (dark castle version).
The People Under the Stairs, Arachnophobia, Nightbreed, The Frighteners and House on the Haunted Hill is my favurites here.
I wish "Lord of Illussions" also were in this video as that great movie tanked too.
Hahaha. That first scene shown of Exorcist III with the old lady shoving George C Scott around looks like it's from a comedy.
Spiders that survive being on fire:
Oh god no!
That cut off on the back story in LA that inspired Craven to write People Under the Stairs was wierd.
Saw 13Ghosts because I was going through a crush phase on Shannon Elizabeth, but I bought the movie due to it being a legitimately good film.
The film 'The Cell' with JLo, the dream sequence in the desert I am sure was filmed in Namibia - SW Africa ( I may be wrong) but it looks like a place called 'Sopkeswoud' or something like that in German, that means ' Ghosties Wood ' in English. I think its in the Namib Dessert near Sousousvlei, reputedly the highest sand dunes in the world. When I visited 'Ghosties Wood' in the early 90s there was literally only 3 colours visible - red, white, and blue. Then if this was filmed there. then the bizarre lanscape is natural and is not some special effects.
Red earth, bleached white trees and a totally cloudless blue sky - quite remarkable and quite weird, perhaps hence the name 'Ghosties Wood'
I remeber me and my friends going to Blockbuster and Hollywood Videos to rent most of these movies when I was in high school. So many memories. I'm so old now. lol
The Exorcist III is an aboslut masterpiece. Why it got lost has probably a lot to do with the atrocious second installment that left people feeling hopeless about the franchise.
WTH. Literally all of these movies are great. How is it possible they weren’t popular at the time?
I love Nightbreed, Exorcist 3, The Frighteners, Thirteen Ghosts, The People Under The Stairs, and Stephen King's The Dark Half.
Nightbreed was great. Awesome story & truly underrated.
Sidenote: I saw 13 ghosts as a teen in theatres & was on mushrooms at the time. So I saw an even better version and it was in 3D 😵😁✌
Have you read Cabal
@@CashelOConnolly idk who your question was directed at but Yes I read Kabal in my early teens. After seeing Night Breed as a kid. Books are always better than the movies they are adapted from.
Wolfen starring Albert Finney and an early Gregory Hines role as a morgue medical examiner was overshadowed upon its 1981 release by other 'wolf' movies The Howlimg and An American Werewolf in London (Wolfen did receive generally good reviews ... but this horror movie is the rare scary blood letting movie with a point: check out the native Indian backstory relation to the wolves hiding in the city underground, barely ahead of extinction).
Exorcist 3 is on the list for a cult movie that failed at the box office with bad reviews. George C Scott and Brad Douriff shine. I'm sure The Exorcism of Emily Rose was not a success at Box office nor did its story of a priest on trial really garner much praise or excitement, initially. But, EOER excels with Laura Linney (skeptical defense attorney) and Tom Wilkinson as the priest accused of neglect in the death of a young college girl who he says was possessed. Great court room drama (whouda' thunk) with flashbacks of good girl (Jennifer Carpenter) offering some chilling body and facial contortions et cetera. EOER receives good reviews now, but still, does not seem to be mentioned/talked about very often.
I know The Frighteners was a critical failure at the box office but could they still make a remake of the movie? Because that would be so awesome if they did Because it's one of my favorite horror/comedies
Exorcist 3 favor of all time. Brad Doriff betrayal of the Gemini killer!!! Just Bravo!!!!
This was by far in my top 5 vhs tapes that I would record from rented blockbuster movies! Along with NBK natural born , the doors , fear and loathing ,lost highway , all the alien movies. I used to get stoned and watch this like daily this movie deserved a academy award for visual effects and set desig. And it actually had a good plot and I was rooting for the killer. The scenes of like all his victims like on they’re cells like his barbie dolls when he was a kid, the horse getting split into slabs and u can see it’s insides still operating and the torture scene was cute I gotta see this again I ha went watched it I. Years …
Thank you for the recommendations, I missed a few on this list.
OOOOOOhhhhhh my god, "Arachnaphobia (1990)" scared the SHIT out of me as a child, like good God damn
Love Brainscan it's soo 90's with it's virtual reality concept. Reminds a bit of lawnmower man another movie I enjoy. But yeah Nightbreed such a classic love the visuals on it and I damn near wanna see a remake of it.
MV you comprise such excellent lists of Gems 💎; I like the way you think!
I loved the people under the stairs! I used to watch it on late night tv as a kid. Arachnophobia is awesome but also hard to get through since I am arachnaphobic!
Such a massive fan of 13 Ghosts..Nightbreed and People under the Stairs too..Takes me back to my childhood (the latter 2 anyways)
YASSSSS Brainscan!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVED this movie!!!! Such a great movie! Plus Frank Langella is one of my favorite actors!
"360 degree turn" in reference to the plot of Cell. Doesn't that simply mean that you are facing the exact same way as you started?!??!
Great videos, but some seem to have awkward cuts in the middle of a sentence or word.
Thinner would have been more successful had they went with the more horrific makeup. If any of you haven’t seen “The Exorcist III” it really is a fantastic movie. It was hard to get some of my friends to watch it after the flop that was E II. The Cell is what got me into Vincent D’Nofrio I even watched that Law and Order he was in. There is a really good cover of Don’t Fear The Reaper at the end of Frighteners. These clips brought back some good memories.
I honestly love all of these! Trick R Treat has a special place in my heart though!
I totally missed how the segments in trick or treat had a aged theme to them,but i enjoyed the film alot when i first saw it last oct.
The Frightners was an epic movie! One of my all time favs. Micheal J Fox was awesome in that film
The Cell is SO underrated. Easily the best movie on this list.
At least half of these are on my list of favorite movies of all time. Especially The Cell.
13 ghosts is like a really violent Disney channel original Halloween movie.
Could y'all PLEASE match your categorised videos with your narration volume? I Have your narration turned as high as I can and I still can't hear the movie clips clearly..... I particularly noticed it in the movie clip preceding "Thinner'....
The people under the stairs is awesome. Love that film
The opening scene from house on haunted hill is amazing.
Arachnaphobia, the dark half,13 ghost, house on haunted hill, the frighteners, the cell, thinner, the exorcist III, trick r' treat. All i have seen. All are marvelous. The people under the stairs, nightbreed and brainscan are the only one i have not seen. But now its only 12. You said 13?
Dunno, I loved all of these and most of them have a cult following in the horror communities I find myself in.
Some of my favorite horror movies here. Nice list.
GREAT list, first of all. And secondly, my bad..., you had Night Breed in there... that will teach me to wait till the end to comment! Lol
Exorcise 3 was a really good movie but, unfortunately, Exorcist 2 sucked donkey dung! It kind of killed the enthusiasm for the third movie. I don't remember as big of a marketing campaign for 3 either...
Trick R Treat 8s my all time FAVORITE Halloween movie... While Jack's tale is great, my favorite is the "bring a dork to dinner" segment. We also get to see a couple of endings to different tales within it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this movie for Halloween or any other night! It IS the It's a Wonderful Life for Halloween, just not aired near as much. You can usually catch it on SiFi channel around Halloween... it is starting to get a lot of airplay around then on that and other channels....
All those were pretty big films, and I eagerly watched them all when they came out. Those all got fairly major marketing
Wasn't The Thing a box office flop? Also glad you put Frighteners on here, I really liked that movie.
Nice vid!
And i know that Thir13en Ghosts also was a remake of an original movie and that it also was a critical failure at the box office but could they make another remake of the movie? Because it's one of my favorite horror movies
hard to imagine these movies were "failures"! There are real gems in this list!
