Millennium Skype Chat Group - Millennium: The Family

[Earthnut]

I don't think I was around because I honestly don't remember this discussion.

Naturally Mark, for my first choice I have to go with your brother's favorite, The Haunting (1963) with Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Richard Johnson, and Russ Tamblyn. It scared the bejeepers out of me too when I first saw it.

My second choice is Dracula (1979) starring Frank Langella, Laurence Olivier, Donald Pleasence and Kat Nelligan. Yes, the original Bela Lugosi is the all-time classic Dracula, but I believed Frank Langella's performance more then anyone else's. His handsome charm won me over.

We need a Dracula Emoticon. All we have is a small

I couldn't see the end of Awake (2007) with Hayden Christensen. Turned it off when he was on the table and didn't do a lot of sleeping that night.

Now I know it's not full horror but a horror spoof, but I'd like to suggest Love at First Bite (1979) as well.

These are great folks. Keep your suggestions coming as you can never have enough horror can you. I though The Haunting would make the list. It still is one of the most atmospheric of ghost stories and few have bettered it. Here's my list for now....

70's - Suspiria, Black Christmas, Halloween, The Exorcist

80's - Friday 13th, Sleepaway Camp, Re-Animator, The Thing (there are hundreds I love so I had to stop myself here)

90's - Funny Games, The Ugly, Candyman, The Blair Witch Project

00's - Hostel, Martyrs, Turistas, Donkey Punch

There, I think just about covers it for me.

70's:

Black Christmas (1974) - if not used for the Halloween chat, maybe for a festive horror films chat?

Dracula AD 1972

Halloween (1978)

Love how you put that Richard, a festive horror films chat, lol just love the sound of that.. (((((HUGS))))))

80's:

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) - although the DVD is I think still cut. The Region 2 disc has an audio problem (read about this on a DVD discussion forum)

Silent Night, Deadly Night - again, see Black Christmas above

Silent Scream (1980)

90's:

Uncle Sam (1994)

Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994).

[Earthnut]

Spooky Laura, I definitely am looking forward to pictures of your "Spooky Graveyard."

Is the next regular chat the Halloween one on 29th October, or we having a regular Millennium chat on 22nd October (a fortnight after last Friday's "Lamentation" chat)?

[ethsnafu]

I think after this Friday's mini-chat we will go straight into the Halloween Chat on the 29th if that's OK with everyone else?

[Earthnut]

So are you saying we have a chat this Friday the 15th and then the next one is on the 29th, or is the next chat on the 29th only? What's a mini-chat? Is there a subject? Questions, questions, questions.

[ty7du]

I think it's this Friday, a mini chat, we all watch a horror film, if you can and it can be whatever you happen to see on TV or something you already own and you talk about it for 5 mins or so, tell us about it, what you thought about it, and if you would recommend it to others.

And Mark will draw out of the hat a film that we have a major discussion on the 29th...well, and Curse of Frank Black, and probably other horror films, since we do often go on tangents ;)

I'll throw a few in the hat now:

60s: Night of the Living Dead, Psycho

70s: The Legend of Hell House, Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Alien

80s: Night of the Creeps, Creepshow, The Stepfather, Child's Play, Fright Night, Hellraiser

90s: Jacob's Ladder, Scream, Cube

00s: Slither, Severance, The Descent, Dagon, Silent Hill
