Actually, its GOJURA.. Godzilla is half gorilla GO and half whale JURA...

"Terrible Creature of the Hydrogen Bomb"...his brutal ways are cover 
for a pacifist, anti-nuke past. 

He was born as Godzilla, King of the Monsters (starring Raymond Burr)
over 30 years ago. This is not the recent remake starring Burr by the
way. 

Toho studios transformed Gojura into Godzilla....losing the schoolgirl
choirs singing about peace, and his Hiroshima dialogue (First the 
radio-active rain. Then the evacuation. What's next?) 

In the original flick, he took down Tokyo, and everyone knew who he was
--not just a consequence of the Bomb, but the Bomb itself.  He was the
enemy, and he was our fault.

Yet when he came west, Gojura became just another monster--"some
parvenu creature," as snobbish critics said.  In later flicks, he was 
even "defender of the Earth"--our chum, battling interstellar
cockroaches, dragons with chain-saws in their bellies, the Smog Monster
and the Thing. Mothra, a bionic version of himself, and King Kong.

But Old Godzilla never dies..he just simply wades away.

Now Godzilla is seen in soft drink ads on television, and has a cute   
publicist. 

Gojura was "anti-materialist," says his producer, Tomoyuki Tanaka,
unsmiling. "Everyone is so concerned with material things, and Gojura 
rips them apart."

Just to avoid confusion, it shuld be noted that this is the Steven <cafe flesh>
remake of "Dr. Caligari", not "The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari", or
the early 60's remake.

Odd film, but the set design and general look is astounding!

I am looking for the name of a sci-fi/horror movie that I saw in the early
to mid '80s.  It had erin moran from happy days starring.

The story goes:


a group of space explorers go to a dead planet. (suckers)
one by one each member is killed off by the thing they fear the most,
 i.e. erin moran killed in a small area, she was claustrophobic.
      martial arts weapons master killed by his own weapons.


Can't really remember the rest of the plot, i.e. who survived.

It is Evil Dead III, but since neither ED film was a big hit in theatres,
they are stressing the title as "Armies Of Darkness".

seen this movie from the mid 60s?  Herschel Gordan Lewis I believe.

Also, am surprised no one has mentioned Texas Chainsaw Massacre II.  This

The first origami is a chicken (because Deckard is turing down the job).

The next one is a matchstick man (after Deckard is on the case).

The next (and last) one is a unicorn.

I worked for a carnival when I was 16. One night I got home from work at about
3:00 am, and discovered that the local latenight movie host was going to
show a horror film, so I stayed up for it. "The Seventh Victim" was the 
film, and it is still my scariest picture. No blood, no gore, little action.
What it deals in is suspense, tension, and just creepiness, plain and simple.
The ending will haunt your mind. Took me over ten years to see it again, 
and I thought it was better than I remembered when I watched it again.
SEE IT!

Some others:

Carnival Of Souls
Clownhouse
Cat People <The original, not the McDowell/Kinski remake>
The Black Cat
The Raven <Lugosi/Karloff, not Karloff/Price>

There are lots more. 
One quick addition:

Vampyr: 1932 Vampire film, unlike any you've seen. Almost silent, but loaded
with atmosphere and chills. Incredible impressionistic sets!

What about BLOOD DINER?  It's sillier than BLOODSUCKING FREAKS and
not as gory.  But it does manage to reach reasonable heights of bad
taste.  Seems to me that some reviewer said the director (Jackie Kong)
was a woman who should be ashamed of herself for doing this sort of
sexist trash.  Unfortunately I can't find the source.

Some highlights are a massacre in a topless aerobics studio and a
cannibalistic party at a bar in which the dread goddess Sheetar
unleashes her fury.

There's some great dialogue.  One of the characters has a line
something like 'how can you just sit there when there's a killer
stalking vegetarians?'

The acting ranges from delightfully bad to campy atrocious.  Plot
is kept to a minimum--it doesn't get in the way of the story.

Sooner than that, according to both the studio and Sam Raimi. In recent

would be about right for the trailers to be showing up now. Remember, this

Yeah, one of the few German horror movies, the Film Threat crew seems to like
them too. There's also Nekromantik 2 out there, go look for it. Buttgereit has
made some other films, which are:
Blutige Exzesse im Fuehrerbunker (translates: Bloody excesses in the Fuehrer
Bunker)
Captain Berlin
Der Gollob (The Gollob)
Horror Heaven
Hot Love
Nekromantik 1 + 2
Der Todesking (The King of Death)

Translations only approximate (late at night)

Buttgereit is 29 years old. There's extensive interpretation of his movies
floating around here in Germany. I don't know what he is up to now, because
his last film (Nekromantik 2) is already 2 (?) years old.

Well, once I saw this thread, I knew I had to mention
a few films that I know.  Soooo, here they are:

1.  MEN BEHIND THE SUN - incredibly depressing and graphic
	story about Japanese soldiers experimenting with
	chemical and biological warfare.  I showed this to
	a couple of people who thought they could sit through
	this, and they wound up quitting because the scenes
	were so repulsive.  Not that I blame them.

2.  SALO, THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM - I saw this mentioned, but
	I thought I would also mention it.  Pier Paolo
	Pasolini's study of fascism is still considered one
	film that can repulse almost anyone.  Except yours
	truly, who found it a bit boring.

3.  BLOODSUCKING FREAKS - Everybody else has mentioned it, so
	I'll just list it here.

4.  CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST - The cannibal movie people love to hate.

5.  UROTSUKI DOJI (aka WANDERING KID) - It may be only be
	animated, but it still is quite graphic, at least in
	part I.  The story really kicks in at part II, and
	the tantric apocalyptic storyline is what reels in most
	fans of this series.

6.  BAD TASTE - Not really repulsive, but good for laughs.  One
	of my favorite horror comedies, and I always feel sorry
	for that poor sheep. :')

7.  NEKROMANTIK - Although this may be the most overrated gore
	film ever made (at least IMHO, since I found it so
	utterly pathetic and boring), I'm listing it here at
	the request of a friend who thought it should be
	mentioned.

8.  PINK FLAMIGOS - Yes, that movie with Divine eating Poodle
	Poop.  So far, I'm the only one of my friends who could
	sit through it, and I could just barely stomach it.
	Not really gory, but really and truly gross.  John 
	Waters did a real job on this number.

9.  IN THE REALM OF THE SENSES - A fascinating and intense film, 
	and not	really gory, but the final scene had some of 
	my friends grossed out.

10. SCOOTER TRASH - The only porn film in this list, but it
	grossed me and my friends the first time, the second
	time and the third time around.  The most idiotic
	and incompeten porn film ever made; you don't know
	whether to be offended by it or be amused by it.

Well, there's my top-ten list of fiction films--although MEN
BEHIND THE SUN is based on fact.  Anyway, have a Merry 
Christmas and don't try to gross yourself out with all these
films.

what i've been told is that "See you next wednesday" was the title of

or not. could be possible.
