Great thread. I used to think I hated horror, but then I realized I only hated slashers and gorenography -- psychological horror and thrillers I love. Okay, and paranoia-fueled Gothic costume dramas; I'm probably the only fan of the Coppola version of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Forget Keanu, the way Oldman's shadow had a life of its own was creepy as hell. If you're interested in body horror, check out half of Cronenberg's filmography: The Fly(1986), EXistenZ -- mentioned earlier in the thread, but enough can't be said about the themes of sexual fears and transmitted disease, The Brood, Videodrome, and Naked Lunch which could merit its own write-up. David Fincher's The Game is more about straight-up paranoia. A rich investment banker approaches his 48th birthday, the same age his father committed suicide. What does his younger brother get for the depressed man who has everything? An invitation to play The Game -- a mysterious offering with no rules, no boundaries, and no clues as to who's in on it or not. He finds himself caught in The Game before he even knows it's begun. On a semi-related note, I really wish Bravo would re-air their Scariest Movie Moments marathons on Halloween again.  If it hadn't been for that I never would have seen Jacob's Ladder or Susperia.echoplex posted:Someone posted the cover of the Sorcerer soundtrack they had on vinyl, which was this image:
