I can answer that! I’ve seen lot of horror movies that weremade long before the use of computer technology. Some were cheesy (“Hey we can see the zipper in the back!” or “I can see the wires, man!”), others very campy (Batman-like) But many were big hits:
Young Frankenstein (“That’s Fronkensteen!”)The ShiningHalloweenFriday The 13thNightmare On Elm Street
What are your faves? This was all I could “dig up” at the moment.
Since it is the season, I find that a lot of people from college age on up aren’t too thrilled with some of the ultra gory stuff that passes for horror now a days. My preference is watching the ones made prior to about 1980. I do enjoy some recent ones, generally the horror spoofs, but I’ve also enjoyed ones like ‘The Ring’, ’The Grudge". I pick and chose what I watch and will ask others what they thought of something before seeing it. I hate wasting my time on any movie, regardless of genre.
how about if instead of ‘horror’ something that is not horror but ‘disturbing’, like ‘Eraserhead’.. then again, for this time I prefer cheesy and goofy things like b-movies that are so bad that are good
Yes, both of them have good points, but overall, Dad is right. Any of Tom Tryon’s books made into movies, the original, not remakes, a lot of Stephen King’s like “Children of the Corn”, a movie with no gore at all, but to this day, it gives me the creeps, saw it when I was I’ll say 10 maybe, Ray Milliand in the “Man with the X-ray Eyes”. Talk about creepy!
The blind dismissal of the old is no different or better than the blind dismissal of the new. They’re merely inverted mirror images of one another, and equally distorted.

A modern non-gory and very creepy one that very few have seen is the Asian movie “Silk”.

The original “The Mummy” with Karloff is a gem.
