What are your top retro horror films? I love Rosemary's Baby, The Excorsist, and The Omen, and I'm really in the mood for something along those lines that I haven't seen.
okay well i don’t know how far back you’re counting as retro (i’m gonna go anything before 1990), but i have a couple of faves (the omen is one of my all time favorites as well)
okay the 1973 the wicker man (NOT the nicolas cage version lmao) the original is really quality folk horror and shares a lot of stuff in common with rosemary’s baby?
misery is always a classic if you haven’t seen it (although i think the book is just a little bit better? still a great adaptation)
the cabinet of dr. caligari is REALLY retro but so cool
vampyr (1932) is just a bizarre, surreal little film and i liked it a lot when i saw it in a film class
i personally didn’t like suspiria all that much, but a lot of people do, so you might check that out?
also i’m just like. assuming everyone has seen the shining but that’s. an all-time fave so if you haven’t seen it. like. see it (although i have a lot of Opinions about the shining as a movie and its deviations from the book but whatever that’s another post lmao. it’s still a really good movie)
