Did we forget Parasite? I didn't see Demi Moore's debut listed on here! :D

I might also suggest Saturday the 14th. A definite creature feature, though it's mostly a comedy (and a BAD one at that!)

Clash of the Titans?

Beast Master?

Dark Crystal?

Critters?


Also...someone gave a nice synopses of Cat's Eye, but forgot to mention that there is a cat who is featured in all three segments who basically witnessess all events, hence the name Cat's Eye. He's mostly featured in the final segment though.

How about Xtro? Some kid's dad gets kidnapped by a UFO and years later dad returns, only he's an alien who wants to take his kid back home. It has some pretty outrageous special fx.

The Alien Factor - Stop-motion and rubber suited monsters terrorize people in Baltimore. Pretty groovy.

The Pit - Canadian flick about a kid who discovers a hole in the ground that has some prehistoric monsters. He eventually starts feeding the annoying people in his life to them.

Mutant - Obscure 80's flick about zombie-like monsters created by radioactive chemical waste.

Slime City - Similar in style to Street Trash, about a dude who moves into an apartment in NYC and get possessed by a demon.

Brain Damage - Some kid gets infected with a talking parasite that keeps him high on acid in exchange for blood from unsuspecting victims that the kid meets.


Creatures From The Abyss
- Some dorky teens go sailing and end up on lab ship where the scientists were all killed by mutated fish.

Scalps - Another obscure 80's flick about some students who go camping in the wilderness and encounter a demonic spirit.

The Nest - Killer cockroaches terrorizing a small town.

Whoa...The Pit sounds amazing...i know the execution will leave me wanting but what an awesome, slightly morbid idea.

I'm sure a few of these have already been mentioned, but what the heck:

Spawn of the Slithis
Metamorphosis - man turns into human-sized T-Rex
Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor - no connection to the above OR Alien Factor, but still cool
Mutilations - stop-motion 80s flick with 15-foot tall aliens killing off cattle before turning their attention to humans
Alligator
Bog
The Boogens
They Bite
Crater Lake Monster
Rana: Legend of Shadow Lake (aka Croaked: Frog Monster From Hell)
The Curse
Curse II: The Bite
Curse III
Evil Spawn

There were a ton of early-to-mid 90s ones that would fit too, such as:
Grim
Within the Rock
Breeders (the 90s one, not the 80s one)
Project: Metalbeast
Proteus
Dark Universe

Does anyone else here like Eli Roth's work? I thought the original Hostel and Cabin Fever were pretty good...out of all the modern horror director's his work is the only stuff that seems decent but I know most fanboys hate him and his movies.

And Madison...thanks that is most deff a ton of help.

Maybe I'll have to go and watch em both again...I haven't seen either of them in ages...all I know is Hostel 2 was one of the most painful expierences I have ever sat through in a movie theater. The most painful being Wing Commander....

I like Rob Zombie...heck I like his music too...I just wish he'd veer away from the red necked horror thing he has going...he seems to have a love for the old gothic styled horror movies and I would freaking love to see a gothic horror movie from Zombie...I'm really hoping that The Wolfman is really succesful and gets some studio execs to rethink some things...

Del Toro is the best hands down, although it's pissing me off that I'm starting to hear some claim Hellboy 2 wasnt that great...sigh...to each his own

What about Tim Burton? Sure he's kinda been kidnapped by the Hot Topic crowd but when he wants he can create some decent horror flicks...Sleepy Hollow...flawed but good...Im in a minority but I enjoyed the heck out of Sweeney Todd..
