With all the 'nu-horror' and remakes these days British horror, both classic and recent tends to get overlooked. So what are everyone's favourite British horror films, and why? :popcorn:

How foolish of me, obviously the thread did exist! :o

As for British horror's I am a firm fan of the classics....

My personal faves are:

- The Abominable Dr Phibes
- And Soon the Darkness
- The Brides of Dracula
- The Curse of Frankenstein
- The Devil Rides Out
- The Devils
- Don't Look Now
- Dracula Has Risen From the Grave
- Frankenstein Created Woman
- Horror of Dracula
- The House That Dripped Blood
- The Innocents
- Inseminoid
- Killer's Moon
- The Mummy (1959)
- Night of the Eagle
- Prey
- Repulsion
- The Revenge of Frankenstein
- Satan's Slave
- Schizo
- Terror
- The Wicker Man

As you can see by my choices I'm a huge Norman J. Warren and Hammer (particularly Terence Fisher) nut! I do love a bit of classic Brit-Horror! :cool:

Where's Xtro? :D

In the absence of a voting choice for Dracula Has Risen from the Grave I went with Witchfinder General - a fine performance from Price and superb direction by Reeves. An absolute classic.

I actually sat through XTRO last week and must say for all it's daftness,it's far better than I remember it.:)

I still enjoy Xtro. The UK DVD seems to be missing a few brief scenes that are in the old video versions.

And of course what yuletide is complete without Don't Open Till Christmas? :D

The German edition's complete mate.
The alternative ending is far better than the one one used in cinemas.

Class.Sheer class.Absolutely hilarious.This should be included in the Monty Python thread.:D

Yep it's an amazing film. After noticing the headlines announcing the mysterious killings of 3 Santa's........

"Do you think we might have a psychopath on our hands?"
"Its early days yet for a pattern"

:rofl:

Edmund Purdom takes a lot of stick.The guy's an unsung genius.:D
Santa's being mutilated-outrageous.:rofl:

Am I right in saying this was the first Santa-slasher?

Purdom also popped up in Pieces and Absurd. A far cry from his Hollywood years in The Student Prince and The Egyptian.

Caroline Munro's funky disco number always cracks me up. :D
