Well, kiddies, it's a little over a month until Halloween. We've discussed favorite horror movies and scariest horror movies. So I thought we'd talk about those obscure horror flicks we like that a lot of other people haven't heard about. We all know Halloween, Friday the 13th, and the Elm St. movies. But what about those lesser known ones? I mentioned on another post that I found Funeral Home on Ebay. I watched it and it was pretty good for such an old movie. I found The Hearse and Mountaintop Motel Massacre on Amazon. I remember seeing the Hearse years ago,but not Mountaintop.
So what are your votes for obscure 80s horror?

The thing about pigs is that, they WILL eat you if they want to. Talk to any pig farmer and he'll tell you; don't pass out in the pig pen because they will attack you, and consume you.

I saw a blaxpoitation movie called SUGAR HILL where someone got threw in the pigpen and eaten...and I didndt believe it possible! Really? Are pigs that dangerous? Who knew?!
A few lesser known gems I like:
THE OTHER: One of those good twin, evil twin stories.
THE CHANGELING: Man moves into new mansion only to find its haunted by a dead little kid
PEP SQUAD: Really strange Black Comedy twist on Teen Horror Movies.

The Changeling was just a creepy movie. I really enjoyed it.

Is Mountaintop really good? I've heard good and bad reviews. I bought it, but haven't received it yet.

Pulse (1988) - a demon in the wires which is a little similar to Ghost in the Machine (1993) From Beyond (1986) - perfect halloween horror fodder material, scary creatures 'leak' in from another dimension The Tomb (1986) - egyptian treasure seekers get a bit more than they bargained for (warning: high cheese content) Brain Dead (1990) - trippy & surreal journey through someone's (Bill Pullman) visions as his mind is being manipulated (or something, I did say it was trippy & surreal) The Brain (1988) - a big alien brain tries to control the world by first starting in a small town
I have stacks of obscure 80s horror flicks, the problem is they're obscure to me - I can't find half of them because they're buried under other VHS tapes!
