Good list but not sure about Halloween 3.

halloween 3 is awesome

Raw Meat is just so insanely boring, I just could not get into it. Last House in the Woods was pretty boring too. I've seen all but three, so I'll need to check those out. Interesting list!

Big Bad Wolf was just plain bad, not scary and definitely failed in its dark humor. Halloween 3 is a silly mess of a movie, even if it wasn't the only non-Michael Myers sequel in the Halloween series it would still suck. Raw Meat was pretty slow going but overall a good movie though. The Cottage is great as a horror movie, unfortunately it was meant as a horror comedy and never succeeds at being funny.

I liked Big Bad Wolf and The Cottage so I might give the rest a try.

Halloween 3 is the best listed, as far as I'm concerned. I quit crying about the absence od Myers when pt 4 came out and sucked.

Halloween III is worth it for the still picture ALONE. It's practically the best in the series? Almost! ;D satan's little helper is fun. The cottage is a great little movie.

Not a bad list! Dead & Buried is one amazing movie!! I'm amazed how lots of people don't know much about it. Halloween 3 i always hold dearly in my heart. When i first watched it as a kid, i did not miss Michael Myers. I got too drawn in by the fucked up story to worry wether michael was there or not. Satan's little helper annoyed me though, just not a solid movie. Overall, great list.

Come on guys don't go soft on me. The Last House in The Woods is a piece of shit. The worst horror movie of the year. It has the mentallity of a 10 year old. I was waiting for fart jokes and booger eating. Fuck the Italians and their horror, with a few exceptions, and you know who they are.

The Cottage is a great movie. Loads of fun...not really scary, not campy, but definitely entertaining

Aw thanks for putting Vampyr up there! It's one of my all time favs. It's about time the classics got some recognition.

this list sucks.

Hmmm.....the whole list should be Halloween 3. But if I was to throw a few in there, there's also the late 80's cheesefests Trick or Treat and Halloween Night. Also, John Russo's Midnight is a nice little obscure flick that has a great halloween feel to it.

This is the first list that I've seen every movie on. They're all great movies — but I thought BIG BAD WOLF was weak.

I've seen Satan's Little Helper, and I love Halloween III!

[i]Pin[/i] is also a brilliant thriller/horror from Canada. Anatomical dolls and mentally unstable teens. What could be better?

the only good one on this list is Halloween III the greatest underated horror movie of all time is 1988's SCARECROWS

I always put Dead & Buried and The Stepfather on lists like this, but of course, Stepfather isn't available on DVD. I've got several of the movies on the list on disc but haven't watched them yet. Now I'm looking forward to them even more. And count me in for some H3 love too. The right answer was to make more movies without The Shape not more with him. Then this movie would get decent credit.

I only seen Halloween 3 during the 90's, it was pretty much the last halloween movie i seen at the time, so when i watched it i was overly disappointed. But looking back at it, it actually wasnt that bad

Pin is wonderful and I am so happy Protecious brought up the 88 Scarecrows! I freaking love that movie! I was not that impressed with the list...except Vampyr..which is a classic in my eyes.

One movie that never gets enough recognition is The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920). Possibly the first ever slasher movie?

big bad wolf was awesome..bought it on a whim..and loved it.nightmare detective blew ass though.

What about the Beast Within? giant man locust tearing off heads! btw Halloween 3 is really good!

Sweet! This wouldn't be Bloody Disgusting without taking a shot at Zombie's Halloween. Heh, and you call him the hack. Shame :)

The others look like shit, But halloween 3 is the best if you look past the fact that myers is not in it. People bitch about that all the time but i thought it was a refreshing new direction to go in. I have it on dvd and i watch it every halloween and i also notice that tv plays it more and more every year. Oh yeh and one more thing, Fuck anyone who didnt like rob zombies halloween remake. It was the best out of the series. How can people say that the originals with no back story as of why he killed his sister when he was young think its so good. I like them, Dont get me wrong but they are not as good as the remake.

It's good to see that I'm not the only one who ignored the title and actually enjoyed Halloween 3. I've definitely gotta check out some of these others though.

Completely off topic, but hey GMleviathan! Is your avatar from Necromantic 2?

Dead & Buried is definitely the best on that list.

HALLOWEEN 3 is a freaking masterpiece. It rocks and it is my 3rd favorite halloween movie. In case any or you care. Here is my list. 1. Halloween 2. Halloween 2 3. Halloween 3 4. Halloween H2O (when did Jamie become a lesbian? She looks all butch dike in this one. 5. Halloween 4 (best boobs in a halloween series) 6. Halloween 6 (producers cut) 7. Halloween 5 (So bad) 8. Halloween Resurrection (Shit box) 9. Rob Zombies Halloween (The worst movie in motion picture history. I would rather watch Quarterback Princess in a 48 hour loop then watch this big giant turd.

Dead & buried is so fucking great. If you can find it GET IT!

Umm...Satan's Little Helper was a little too ridiculous. I bought it cuz that mask is fucking creepy. And Big Bad Wolf goes down better, the second time.

Wow, good for you for adding "Vampyr" to the list! I just watched it last night after checking it out from our library's online catalog, and what a wonderfully surreal treat it was - it's so full of eerie and unique images and fresh odd actors, the whole thing feels like a fever dream I had myself when I remember it today. Really a classy, unusual, strange old film for everyone who enjoys that sort of thing. Loved it!

Yuck. I don't care what these people say about Halloween 3. It sucked. It's not because Michael wasn't in it, it's just a bad movie. It seems like some people just want to hop on the "Ooh Halloween 3 is a masterpiece. Join us!" bandwagon. Kind of funny if you think about it.

heh, big bad wolf "goes down" better. (if you've seen the movie you'd know why its funny)

Awesome, I actually just bought "Dead & Buried", though I haven't watched it yet.

Holy shit! I've actually seen every one of these movies. I need to get out of the house more.

allot I haven't seen on this list, but the Cottage was all good so I will try a few of the others on here

Nobody said Halloween 3 is a masterpiece. It's not. But a lot of folks have a soft spot for it. I think it's a good, goofy little movie. I don't think it belongs on this list, though. In the horror movie community this is well known, and maybe a tad OVER-rated. It's certainly not obscure. Anyway, good call on Scarecrows. Good stuff. The director seems to imitate genius-era Carpenter, right down to the font used in the opening credits. I'd like to offer up Vamp. Cheesey 80's stripper vampires. I remember it as being suprisingly droll, in an After Hours/Into the Night manner.

What exactly makes Halloween 3 BAD? If some of you HATE it so much, why? I'd really like to know what you can find wrong with this picture since I think it's one of the best Halloween-themed horror films in history! It's an intelligent film and I can't help but feel that those who don't appreciate it just don't understand it. The score: awesome, the cinematography: awesome, the suspense: the SCARIEST of the series, the acting: classic and the story: very creepy and original. Give me a REAL REASON to not like it! -RHR

These movies are OK, Dead and Buried-in my opinion-is the best on the list. What about Pumpkinhead or the classic Burnt Offerings? Karen Black as a scary-ass bitch....

Suspense the scariest of the series? That's a laugh. None of it was suspenseful. The original Halloween was the most suspenseful. The reason is a little thing called opinion. I either like a movie or I don't. And I didn't like it. Simple as that. I don't try to find the reason, or nitpick at why I don't like it. I'm not asking why the people like it, like it. That's fine, everybody's entitled to what they like. I'm just voicing my own opinion about it. And we can sit here all night saying it's good or bad, but in the end it's just a matter of taste and opinion. Nobody's right and nobody's wrong.

the killer in Nightmare Detective was a creepy fuck!

You can leave Satan's little helper, Last house in the woods and cottage off. cottage wasn't scary, slh was for kids and lhitw was weak.

I have satans little helper on dvd, great flik!!

OMG, I totally didn't catch that Freudian slip that I made. hehehe Nice.

If you consider yourself a horror fan and can't appreciate Halloween 3 then I don't know what to tell ya!

Halloween 3 would have been just alright if it wasn't passed off as part of the halloween franchise. As it stands now it is a hat full of suck.

Rise of the Dead sucked balls. Couldn't finish that one.

Sonic.... you need to finish it. The ending is the most WTF moment in horror history. Its dull until then but oh man, one scene made it all worthwhile. p.s. guys - not sure if this was obvious, but you can click the name of the movie for a full review, just beware of spoilers. I usually warn about them, but i forget sometimes.

not sure how obscure these are since Ive seen or own all of them. My wife liked Satan's Little Helper until the cat scene. She's a cat person LOL. Dead and Buried is one of my favorites.

Damn. Who would have known, back in the day, that Halloween 3 would be so fucking polarizing? Even as a kid (saw it at a drive-in, no less), I got over the "no Mikey" thing and got into it. It's a bizarre and, sometimes disturbing, flick. It's dark and nihilistic and fills you with dread. The story is weird, but well told, the acting is good, the FX are fine ... What's the problem?

Can't say i've heard of any of these except cottage and halloween 3, have to check them out considering BD have put me onto many a good film before. Thanks guys. 1 more day to halloween, halloween, halloween.....you know how it goes.

I agree, Halloween 3 is so under rated. I think as people said, the missing Myers makes people hate it but its an awesome movie. Im going to have to give those others a shot.

Wow, seeing Halloween III on this list was a pleasant and ironic surprise!! Two nights ago I found it in the bargain bin at Wal-Mart, so I picked it up immediately, thinking, "wouldn't it be great to pop THIS in on Halloween besides the original for the millionth time?", and now I see everyone seems to think the same! Rock on!

Great list man. Never heard of half of em and I'll be sure to cop them now. Thank you. face

Halloween 3 is actually a great movie for itself..Tom Atkins is such a dirtbag in the movie though haha, then again hes a dirtbag in most of his movies but an awesome dirtbag

I concur with Severin. The Beast Within is a great little horror gem. That film was the first horror movie that my father & I watched together when I was young. Great atmosphere & gore, body parts, ect. I ordered The Beast Within & Grizzly recently from fye. Proud to have 'em in my DVD collection. "I've got two girls, ages 19 & 20, both eaten to the bone"-----Grizzly.

Kudos to the great Protecious for mentioning "Scarecrows". One of my favs of 80's horror. My sister is 27 & she still refuses to watch it, because it scared her so much as a child. Maybe it was because I locked her out of the house right after we watched it that night, & told her the scarecrows were going to hack off her head!!! Great stuff Protecious, you have good taste!!!

Good list except for Big Bad Wolf. Some entertaining parts but mostly weak.

Dead & Buried is an awesome flick. The charred corpse screaming part was freaky as hell, plus the infamous needle scene. Halloween 3 is an awesome flick too.

Halloween 3 was the most commonly repeated on TV of the series, or that's what it seemed like, but it was one that I grew up with and was always freaked out by the silver shamrock tune on the TV's that made the masks go a face eating. It was just spooky, not a masterpiece but certainly one of those movies that put a little chill in the air and therefore on that basis it delivered. Something I don't think any number of saws could ever do at halloween and that deserves our respect

I think halloween 3 is gay

I saw Raw Meat when it came out in the theaters when I was a kid. It might seem boring by today's standards, but back then, it was considered gross and scary. I loved it and was very happy to see it make it on the list.

Happy Samhain bitches...get yourself some snootchie bootchie nootchies tonight!!!!

Okay so I watched Halloween III again last night.....what a great movie, but my GOD what a depressing ending...

Nice list, but I would put Halloween III at the top. It feels more seasonal and Halloween-like than the original.

This is not a list of obscure horror movies. I have seen all of these. If blockbuster video of all places stocks some of these movies then they are not obscure. Why not include forgotten classiscs like Anthropophagus, House by the cemetery, Neon maniacs, and Stuff just to start.

Some of these I am now tempted to get cus of the list. But on another scale I have seen The Cottage and Halloween 3. Halloween 3 didn't get me, now I am not saying the movie is bad because I don't believe that, but it just wasn't my cup of tea and then there'... The Cottage. Ok film my only downside was the length of time it took before the killer is introduced but other than that it was a good film >esp when Jennifer Ellison gets the axe through her mouth!< . But Thank You BD for introducing me to some movies that have garnered my interest. Good List & Kudos to you!

Halloween 3 was the only good one after the first one. In fact, Rob Zombie should have made some direct sequel to that one and expanding on the themes introduced in that film, instead of horribly remaking the first one.

Halloween 3 was boring, I'm sorry but it was, and the remake wasn't too bad, I wish everybody would stop ripping on it just because it takes a new spin on the idea. Besides, I like the fact that it's mindlessly violent.

Agree with Severin...The Beast Within is a good flick. And...what about Rawhead Rex?? Halloween III far surpasses all the rest that followed it.

Last House was stupid. I usually agree with most of your ratings but I this film was pretty bad.

Vampyr (1932), Dead & Buried (1981) - both became classics over time .... the rest of these need more time in order to be deemed watchable. ~(^)~

I saw Cathy's Curse at the drive-in when I was a kid. It was a double feature with Beyond the Door. They both scared the shit out of me. Halloween 3 was a great movie, Stacy Nelkin was hotter than Hell in that one. A few of my favorite overlooked flicks are Funeral Home, Mausoleum, & Incubus.

I actually loved satan's little helper, i rented it from blockbuster when it 1st came out. and Nightmare Detective, sadly i havent seen it, but a japanese gifts store had it here but i never bought it and the store is gone now :( and yes Halloween III is pretty decent once u get over it has nothing to do with myers. And i saw the trailer for Nightmare Detective 2, looks sick!

Just Watched Cathys Curse Thanks for Top 10 Obscure Halloween Gem List! What a TRIP!

Can's say that list blew me away, I would hardly call12 month old movies 'gems.' You should include some obscure classics like Street Trash, Mansion of the Doomed, The Hidden, Class of Nuke 'em High, Evil Ed and other lost 'gems' like that!

I completely agree re: Halloween 3. If viewed as a standalone called Season of the Witch without the Halloween, it was a pretty decent horror movie.

Satans Little Helper is probably in my to 15 of all time favorites. A Great film.

yeah halloween 3 is so crucial....come on, Tom Adkins....how can you go wrong.

halloween three doesnt fit with the rest of the series but is still a good movie nevertheless.

I'm sorry but I can't forgive halloween 3

I don't give two flying shits into a fan about what people say,HALLOWEEN 3 is still a good watch!

for any1 on virgin media a few of these films and many other horror films/tv shows are on the Zone Horror channel, i watched satans little helper on there
