I need some good slasher films for Halloween. Give me some that are generally chilling, or so bad, it's good. Doesn't HAVE to be a slasher, I guess. But those are the funnest to watch with lots of people around.
One of my favorites was on the Space Channel last night, Black Christmas. Twisted atmosphere with the huge, scarcely populated sorority house and the Christmas lights that somehow make it even more creepy. Predates Halloween, and is nearly as good. Some of the best prank calls ever.
And it starred Olivia Hussey, who is just so damn adorable. If I was the killer, I DEFINITELY would have raped her.
And also Margot Kidder. Anybody else think she's pretty attractive? She's not hot or anything, but she always steals her scenes with that 'tude of hers, she does it in Superman and she does it here. Spunk-ay.

Oh JESUS yes! Suspiria is a masterpiece of moody weirdness.
Check out Born of Fire: it's not a slasher film but it's creepy and surreal and weird. Makes interesting viewing if you're baked.

i should have kept this in one post, but i forgot some others:
Eyes Without a Face - black and white, very good looking french horror movie.
The Eye - pretty decent hong kong horror movie sort of along the lines of j - horror like Ju on or Ringu.
Sante Sangre And really no horror movie viewing experience is complete without Dog Soldiers, which is just a load of b movie fun.

Halloween. completely obvious classic, but it really IS good.
what I love about that film is, besides the teethgrinding Carpenter-soundtrack, the beautiful cinematography.
if you see a good copy, you'll really see how crisp it all still looks.

Yes, I would say that "Halloween" is the ONLY good slasher film in existence (besides "Scream", which is actually quite good really). "The Wicker Man" is not even really horror, but fucking great. "A Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (the original) also is great and disturbing.

If you get a chance watch one and two back to back

Don't want to ruin the film, but - farm - barb wire fence - unaware bad teen actor - somekind of explosion or high wind(its been awhile) -BAM! - comical moment (if only the playdoh fun factory was that fun)
