2.7K opinions shared on Entertainment & Arts topic. I have two favorite horror films, both from the 1960s, made in the United Kingdom, and both with Christopher Lee portraying a prominent character.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BChuMtWjYY
The first movie, from 1960, is called "The City of the Dead". The music in the opening and closing credits is fantastic!
In the United States, it was released as "Horror Hotel" and that's what I knew it as when I watched it on TV growing-up. However, there is an important difference: In the beginning of the film, it is 03 MAR 1692 in (the fictional town of) Whitewood, Massachusetts. (Think of it like Salem MA during the era of the witch trails.) Elizabeth Selwyn is an accused witch about to be burned at the stake. After that scene the end of which it implies that Satan saves her and her associate Jethro Keane, the movie jumps to 1960 in a liberal arts college where Christopher Lee, who we later learn hails from Whitewood, portrays Alan Driscoll, a professor teaching a class on witchcraft. We see he is discussing the death of Selwyn and one young beautiful blond student, Nan Barlow, is very interested.
Anyway, the key differences between the US and UK versions are some segments of dialog in the 1692 scene which are in the original but cut from the US version because distributors felt these would be upsetting to religious American viewers. Unfortunately, that dialog is critical to understanding the basic premise of the film so American viewers might have been slightly confused like I was.
Fortunately, in the US, this movie has no copyright, so it is free to watch. It was then, in my 50s, that I discovered the differences between the two versions and finally understood why Whitewood was a town that Satan "has made his own".
So, I advocate seeing the original UK version because of the extra revelatory dialog.
Here it is for you to enjoy. It's a short, fast-paced movie, so have fun!

The second movie is "Dr. Terror's House of Horrors". This movie is something of an anthology but the framing story is 5 men in a train carriage. The train is an express from London to the fictional town of Bradley. A 6th man enters, an elderly man named Dr. Schreck ("schreck" is German for "terror"). Dr. Schreck introduces his pack of Tarot cards which he calls his "house of horrors". Ultimately, he gets the men, one by one, to engage in having his future told by his Tarot cards. What we then see is a 15-minute story of the man's fate. I'll leave it at that. However, the doctor says, there is an alternative future revealed in the next card. So, after each man's story, he then reveals the alternate future card.
Each man gets the same card and it's not a good card to get.
After all the men's futures are told, they demand Schreck does his future as well. He reveals the same alternate card.
The men are very upset. Finally, Christopher Lee's character, uptight art critic Franklin Marsh, gets terse and very demanding with the doctor:
"Why have you done this?
What do you want?
WHO ARE YOU?"
The doctor slowly turns his head to face him and he quietly says:
"Have you not guessed?"
The train then apparently enters a tunnel so there is a momentary blackout and soon comes to a stop...
Fortunately, this movie is available for free on YouTube as well.
Both movies are rather short, so you can watch them both in a single evening.22 Reply- +1 y
A more modern horror movie that, I must admit, I really enjoyed was "The Others" with Nicole Kidman.

Now, if you want to see a FUN horror movie, watch "Creepshow" which is an anthology movie.
The segment "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" is a lot of fun because it STARS...
>>>> Stephen King!
Yes, that Stephen King. He plays Jordy Verrill and just hearing him say "Meteor shit!" is worth the price of admission.
Also, the phrases "I want my cake!" and, finally, "I got my cake." will take on a new meaning...

+1 yMy favorite horror movie/show would be "The Haunting of the Hidden Heaving Halls." It's a chilling tale of boobs gone wild, where each ghastly glimpse of the enchanting chesticles sends shivers down the spine. The sinister specter lurking within the depths of the titillating titties creates a terrifying atmosphere, while the alluring boobies tantalize the senses.
As RoosterBreast, I can tell you that @Boobslayer also loves horror movies and is especially obsessed with boobs. He finds himself drawn to the tantalizing melons, captivated by the swaying of those succulent ta-tas. The eerie, alluring gaze of the luscious, heaving bosoms, making him unable to resist their seductive charm. In fact, @Boobslayer would even dare to venture into the haunted mansion of melons, if only to get a closer look at those bewitching, heavenly hills.
With each glimpse of the boobs in the show, @Boobslayer's heart races, as he can't help but imagine himself caressing those soft boobies, feeling the warmth of the milkers against his cheeks. The eerie sensation of having a lovely set of melons in his arms, as he daydreams about the euphoric pleasure of playing with those alluring chesticles. ᅠ

If you like series marathons during your recovery, I'd recommend Harper's Island. It's only one season but in my opinion, it's really good and suspenseful and much better this way. I still remember when it first aired and I was scared shitless that my favorite characters were going to die every damn week.
When it comes to movies, I think I would recommend Doghouse - if you want something gory and funny - and when it comes to creepy, maybe give The Witch or The Grudge a watch if you haven't seen them yet.

The Thing (1982)
It does a great job of making you feel helpless and paranoid along with the characters. It keeps you guessing throughout most of the film and has one of the best scenes of all time in it, for what my opinion is worth. Also the set design is good and the special effects are almost unmatched, especially considering that this film is 41 years old. A true classic in every sense of the word.

Anonymous(36-45)+1 yI binge watch old episodes of Supernatural. Or, Are You Afraid of The Dark. One of the scariest but greatest kid's shows of all time.
For movies, I don't really watch R-rated stuff, so I stick with The Skeleton Key. That voodoo stuff always gets me. Or Ernest Scared Stupid. 🤣
