The People Under the Stairs as suggested by untermensch

Everyone's seen this. The people under the stairs look like Slimelighters :D They really do. Not scary at all, but a couple of jump moments, and good fun!

Suggested because it's the only Wes Craven movie I've seen that I didn't completely hate :)

Oh yeah, let me know if you're in the market for some japanese or korean horror...

Have you seen Poltergeist or any of the 'Dead' movies?

I recommend both the original and remake of Dawn of the Dead, plus Night of the Living Dead, and the more comedic Return of the Living Dead.

Return of the Living Dead is surprisingly good, especially considering it looks like they made for about £2.50.

I'd also recommend Dance of the Dead which is a more recent film in the same vein.

There's a reason for that - they did! :)

It was written and directed by Dan O'Bannon, past master of doing things on a budget of next to nothing.

Return of the Living Dead 2 was awful though, but film three is also wonderful - a proper zombie love story (with a very hot lead)... :)

The Tarman is still one of the best zombies I've ever seen.

Yeah, RotLD 3 is quite sweet isn't it? Definitely written by a piercing fetishist. We did a marathon of them all a few months back and it's diminishing returns after that though.
