Horror library start-up kit.

"I Spit on Your Grave" is good if you like grain.

Bloodsucking Freaks is awesome. Mother's Day is cool too, and sort of similar to I Spit on Your Grave, but lighter. It's probably not on DVD though.

It makes "Kill Bill" look like "Rainbow Brite."

The "Evil Dead" flicks, "Re-Animator" and the original "Dawn of the Dead" should also be included in your library.

Hammer, Hammer, Hammer

Nothing says blood red like Horror of Dracula.

Or better, the pale landscapes of The Lost Continent!

Susperia would be worth your while.

first Jaws Movie. Halloween 1 and 2, Friday the 13th flicks, Hellraiser 1 and 2, The deadly spawn (LOL) Creepshow 1 and 2

John Carpenter's The Thing

Dead Alive

Although it's not exactly gorey, The Shining is one of my all time favorite's

American Werewolf in London

Have fun

Hey NG13, if you like 'em older, grainy and disturbing, check out:

HOUSE OF WHIPCORD - not that gory, but very troubling ... a favorite of mine

THE BABY - Oddball from the 70's directed by Ted Post ( not to be confused w/ the dinosaur movie )

GOD TOLD ME TO

SPIDER BABY

DERANGED

MANIAC - Joe Spinell / Tom Savini flick from 1980

zombie, the night of the living dead trilogy, the texas chainsaw massacre(the original) and sleepaway camp

Can't go wrong with some of Peter Jackson's first works.

Also Romero's Dead trilogy as well as some classic Fulchi.

Also, check out dvdcompare.net for release comparisons before purchasing. That's assuming you don't have a problem with playing different DVD regions.

Also, deepdiscountdvd.com always has some of the lowest prices and free shipping. Usually about once or twice a year they have a 20% off sale around Christmas.

If you're into VHS ( and who isn't ), I would DEFINITELY, ABSOLUTELY recommend 1975's BEYOND THE DOOR ...
