I'm surprised the excellent 10 Rillington Place is not included in the list, Richard Attenborough & John Hurt were superb in this grim, true life horror story.The film's depressing mood stayed with me for quite some time after viewing it.

Yeah,I forgot a few when putting together that list Vamp,but feel free to add them.:nod:

Like.....CRUCIBLE OF TERROR! :doh:

I'm thinking of picking up the classic Death Line on DVD, but which is the best one to get - the UK Network DVD or the MGM R1? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. :)

oooh, mike raven...that beard, uuuhhh AHEM.
and nae NIGHT AFTER NIGHT AFTER NIGHT? or did someone mention that already? i voted for about 25 of these, ranging from all 3 Quatermass' to Tower of Evil...there is just SOMETHING about classic british horror...well i thought the uk Deathline i have had FAR more than the one i got off bbc2 years ago, though the other may be a nicer print...in fact im off to watch it again...!!

I've decided to go for the MGM R1 disc as it was a few pence cheaper than the UK one, and it has a trailer.I know the UK DVD goes under the better original title Death Line, but I quite like the Raw Meat title too.Apparently the UK DVD is slightly cropped, while the MGM retains the OAR. :)

cest la vie...swapped mine for me Emmanuele and the last cannibals...a fair trade if ever haha, il keep eye out for the mgm 1 then!!
"...mind the doors..."

Any chance of adding my favourite British horror film which is 'From Beyond the Grave'?

Another forgotten gem off the list! :doh:

No worries! After all, there are more than a few to choose from.

While I'm at it, how about Hellraiser?:tongue1:

Is Hellbound:Hellraiser 2 a Brit horror?

Yep :nod:

I'd have to add Death Line to my list of Brit horror favourites.I watched it at the weekend for only the second time.The first time I watched it was years back as part of the BBC's Halloween horror movie all-nighter.Donald Pleasence as Inspector Calhoun and Hugh Armstong as the subterranean cannibal man were brilliant! :cool:

I have a real soft spot for any film set on the London Underground - just aren't enough of them - it's one of the creepiest places around.

The scene in which we find the cannibal's lair is sublime. The way the camera slowly pans across the room and floor to reveal body after body really spooked me out as a kid. The effects are top notch too (I'm thinking of the two bodies hanging on the wall and the spade in the head scene).

The cannibal man's diseased look and constant drooling was also pretty horrible.

I wonder if the reason The Descent and Dog Soldiers get such high votes is because posters haven't actually seen too many of the real classics of British horror.
Or are they just not bloody enough in todays world.

Why no Madhouse in the list?

The Vincent Price skull make-up is iconic

well, is Fear is the Key a horror film?? Fear in the Night maybe...lists are always subjective DD, yours and mine would vary wildly im sure...

Not a bad list from off the top of my head!
But as said earlier,if you see your favourite not listed,then feel free to plug it!:)

Its a brilliant list.

Your head must be bloody huge if all that came off the top of it. :lol:

Mark Of Satan.
Such a deranged piece of television.
I could pick quite a few ... but this is the one I always return to ;)

What like this in his thinking pose .

'Two faces of evil' was the episode that i always seemed to catch on TV repeatedly when they showed the series and it always freaked me out as a kid.
Still my favourite episode, my second favourite is 'The silent scream' with Peter Cushing.
Love this series.:nod:

Twas Silent Scream I always used to catch myself. Love the theme. I tunelessly whistle it as a default. I needs to get out more :laugh:

My faves are Children of the Full Moon and Witching Time.

Probably as they are nearer to good old Gothic horror than the rest of the stories.

A Visitor from the Grave,Witching Time and The Two Faces of Evil are 3 of my favourites.I enjoyed them all tbh!

Some right fruity moments for back in the day eh?:lol:

Mmmmmmmm Suzanne Danielle in Carpathian Eagle (in the centre pic )

also starred Pierce Brosnan before he hit the big time.
