	My favorite Carpenter films:

	Christine, The Thing, and Escape From New York.  All have excellent
soundtracks as well, with Christ. and EFNY written by Carpenter himself.

"House III" was only released in Europe by that title.  Don't quote me on this 
but I think here in America it was called "The Horror Show".  Personally I
saw no connection with House I or II.  However, "House IV" was just released
on video a couple months ago.  I thought this one was incredible.  Much,
MUCH better than II.  Trust me, find this film.

Ozzy Osbourne and Lemmy Kilmister (Motorhead) collaborated on a song
entitled Hellraiser.  I thought this was the theme for the movie, but I
could be wrong.  Both bands released versions of this song, but Motorhead
already has a video for it

I just finished this book containing 21 short stories and was utterly disgusted
by spending six-odd dollars on perpetual boring pieces of work.

I'm amazed that this was classified as horror.  IMHO- This *Barely* reached the
point of being classified as horror only in that it described the human
condition....Paranoia, fear, hatred, impovished.  To me, that only remotely
qualifies.
This was a recommendation from a fellow netter.  I'm sorry to say, it's

I don't have any bibliographic info for the recent re-publication, but
as the SubGenius has already--most lyrically--said, your best bet is
used bookstores.

In my experience, the most common edition is the 1971 Berkley Medallion
paperback, which was released in conjunction with the Warner Brothers
film.  This edition has "The Omega Man" (title of the '71 movie)
in large print on the front cover, but does have _I_Am_Legend_ on the
spine.  The cover is white with black lettering, and has a curious
illustration--Charlton Heston holding something that looks like
a cross between an flashlight and a machine gun, with hooded figures
juxtaposed, and one very large hooded figure, looming, like a very
hip king vampire, in the background.

What I like about the story of _I_Am_Legend_--the saga of the last man
left alive when everyone else on Earth has succumbed to an epidemic--
is that even though it's superficially about vampirism, the exact nature of
the disease is flexible.  It's a story that can be reinterpreted again
and again for the spread of the plague, zombies, AIDS, or any other
disease that transmits through human contact.  And indeed, the book
is better known for its being the inspiration for Romero's "Night of
the Living Dead," than for the two movies (before Charlton Heston,
Vincent Price played the starring role) more directly based on the
events in Matheson's tale.  In other words, don't think of it as
"just another vampire story."  

Other quality horror titles from the 1950's include:
	_The_Sound_of_His_Horn_ by Sarban
	_Lord_of_the_Flies_ by William Golding
	_The_October_Country_ by Ray Bradbury
	_Nine_Horrors_and_a_Dream by Joseph Payne Brennan

I myself have toyed around with a mix of cyberpunk and horror (in the
Lovecraftian Great Old Ones etc vein).  As for published stuff, the
first Alien movie is the best example I know of (I haven't seen
Alien^3).  If you count them, there's various B-flicks like "The
Thing" and "The Blob" as well (the new versions especially; I've only
seen bits and pieces of them, though, so be advised...)

The Ellison story about the drug addict is "Run to the Stars",
reprinted 2 years ago as one of the last Tor Doubles. This is a
_very_ early work, when Ellison was is competition with Robert
Silverberg and Randall Garrett for the title of most prolific
writter in SF; so don't expect a polished Borgian (sp?) prose
poem. The pulp drips off the pages.
On the matter of _The Haunting_, make certain it's the version
directed by Robert Wise staring Clare Bloom. My wife is a Shirley
Jackson fan (yes, they do exist) and she watches the movie at
least twice a year. _The Haunting_ is the best adaption of
Jackson's work.

That you for replying to my query, however, you must have misinterpreted what I
stated regarding Horror RPG's...I'm currently involved with DESIGNING one, not
looking for one to play. (Game tentatively entitled, "Night Runners".)

Serious consideration has always been my forte when designing games, however,
with horror, you have to decide how much ground to cover and how "realistic"
you want the game genre to play out....My question, pretty much as posed in the
original post, had to do with asking horror-novel(lla) readers what they would
EXPECT to see should they partake in a grandeous scare.

Obviously since COC has already been produced (since the early 80's), I cannot
very well steal HP Lovecrafts works....What book do you feel has potential for
being an underlying conceptual premise for a horror RPG..OR, if it cannot be
answered that way, how much HORROR does a good story need?

I must disagree.  They Live and Prince o' Darkness were excellent (OK, maybe
not excellent, but they both freaked me out and I'd like to see them again).

They Live:  Slow start, but once you get to the sunglasses thing and understand
 what the _HELL_ is going on, it flipped me.  It reminded me of Operation:
Mindcrime by Queensryche.  I loved it.  The fight scene twixt Rowdy Roddy and
the large black gentleman drug on for a bit too long though.  There's some
great lines in that movie too.  "I have come here to chew bubblegum, and kick
ass. And I'm all outta bubblegum." Classic.

Prince o' Darkness:  I love the communication across time thing.  He should
have done a little more with the dream sequences:  "We are broadcasting from
the year 199....."  That also wigged me out.  I didn't, and still don't, follow
what the hell is going on with it, but I loved it. The end.... well, see it.
Great freaking ending.  Couldn't have been done better (although I hate when
you don't _really know_ what happens once and for all, but it does make for
great endings).

Both were a little cheesy, but still great "B" films.

Of course, Halloween was his best.  I even like the various sequels to it,
although I hope he ends them after the next film. (By the way, I don't
count 3 as a sequel to Halloween, and neither should anyone with half a brain).

The Thing was a good movie, one of the few in which the ending isn't really
happy happy joy joy, that I really liked.  Spooky too.

Opinions wanted on an English author, Shaun Hutson (Spawn, Slugs,Deathday
,Erebus,Renegades,Breeeding Ground, Nemesis, etc).  Personally, i believe
he's gotten better over the years.  Spawn is pretty average, but Assassin
is rather good.  I've enjoyed most of his novel, though his clinical
descriptions of people getting shot,torn,ripped apart etc, while not being
a turn off, seems to lack "soul". Has some ripper sex scenes.
Though after a certain scene in Erebus, I'll never swallow easy again.

It should be fairly easy to find on video. It's been out a while on both
tape and disc in the US. It's a British film set in Canada, and isn't
really a "vampire movie", more like a really weird human drama.

  I don't know about what Mr. Carpenter may have done for TV, since I don't
have one. (GASP!!!!) I view videotapes by having wired up a basic cassette
player to my computer's color monitor.
  I _can_ say, however, that I've seen _Memoirs_. It's quite good. Sam Neill
is excellent, the FX are topnotch, and Chevy Chase gives his first likable
performance in history (or maybe that was one of the special effects :-)).
  If anyone cares, my favorite Carpenter work is _The Thing_, with
_Dark Star_ a close second.

It's called "Innocent Blood" and starring the woman who played Nikita in
"La Femme Nikita (YUM!)"  It's about a vampire in New York that only feeds
on Mafioso types, and after dinner, insures they won't rise again.  However,
after taking out a top dog, she's interrupted before she can cack him,
and he rises and begins turning the Mafia into a Legion of the Damned.

Cool beans, with a lot of John Landis humor to boot.
