  Much more of a real horor flick that the sequel which was more of an action flick.

  I always like The Blob for a non-to-serious sci-fi/horror.

  If you want something like Aliens try James Cameron's other sci fi movies. I like the original Terminator best.

  Both the original (w/ James Arness of "Gunsmoke" fame as the monster) and the remake (w/ Kurt Russell as the main character).

  "The Green Slime" is good for a hoot if you get off on oldies with rocket models on strings, etc.

    Brilliant film, Cold War paranoia at it's best. The other question is DID Howard Hawks produce AND direct this classic, OR did screen credited director Christian Nyby? Either way 5 stars, Joe Bob says so!

  With james Woods as the head vampire killer.
  It added a nice spin to the usual vampire bullshit.
  Nice special effects with lots of vampires being "staked"

  • I believe you're refering to Vampire$, but like the book it's from, there's more to this story. - Audiophilander 21:19:50 08/16/02 (1)
    In Reply to: Dracula.John Carpenters version posted by YECH on August 16, 2002 at 18:58:41:

    The movie is a pale imitation of the book IMHO, but I'm biased because I know the author, John Steakley, and the book all too well! In this particular novel John featured quite a few of his friends as characters (i.e., by name, no less, with their permission), and I have the dubious honor of saying that my somewhat illustrious character survived to the end of his book. :o)

    Here's a bit more trivia. I met my wife, Roxanne, as an indirect result of John's book. We were both guests at a Dallas area space science & SF convention 11 years ago, but we'd only met casually. However, she came up to me at a dance the second night of the conference and floored me by asking the following question: "Is it true that you go through women like an International Harvester through a wheat field?" For those who haven't read Vampire$, that was a line spoken by the character John dubbed "Cherry Cat" [Note: My middle name, which I also sign my work under, is Cat; he combined that with the last name of fellow artist and mutual friend David Cherry, brother of the highly regarded SF author C.J. Cherryh. John based the character of Cherry Cat on my somewhat *ahem* overblown reputation with women and David's former career as a corporate law attorney in Oklahoma.] Anyway, to make a long story longer, after I picked my jaw up off of the floor and the laughter subsided Roxanne and I started dating and the rest is history!

    So, YECH, as you can see, there's a lot more to the story of Vampire$ than John Carpenter's paltry effort.

    Cheers,
    AuPh

  Besides the first two Alien movies, there's...

  Pitch Black
  Supernova
  Starship Troopers
  Total Recall
  Dark City

  Earth-bound SF with horror elements

  Blade Runner
  Terminator
  Terminator II
  Predator
  Tremors
  AI - Artificial Intelligence
  Metropolis (Fritz Lang silent era classic)

  Note: AI has more subtle, internally perceived horror.

  Of those I've listed the scariest is probably Pitch Black. BTW, ideally Dark City would be viewed back to back with Fritz Lang's Metropolis (i.e., the restored version which will be released on DVD around the first of next year).
