I loved this video and your picks! I’m going to do a blind buy of Needful Things and Something Wicked This Way Comes. I don’t know how I haven’t seen either, but I miss a few titles here and there. If I were to pick my favorite atmospheric horror films-since vampires are my favorite horror genre next to supernatural and creature features-I’d definitely go with The Fog, The Shining, Poltergeist, Near Dark, Fright Night, The Thing, Leviathan, The ’Burbs, House, and my all-time favorite film, no matter the genre, The Lost Boys.

@AVAPopCulture 2 месяца назад

@sodapopinski1810 you will enjoy those 2 films! @kinolorber has Needful things 4k with a slip cover right now on their sale! The shining definitely has that vibe!! I think for me once the film moves into violent slasher type kills that you see the "star monster" like Freddy etc doing or even into comedy, it kinda takes me out of that slow burn, creepy, mysterious vibe that can still mess with your mind later!! But that's just me!

@sodapopinski1810 2 месяца назад

@@AVAPopCultureI am feeling ya here. With that take, I’d have to really reconsider my choices then. If the star or co-star is the atmosphere… hmmm I know it’s considered sci-fi… but it’s horror to me, I’d definitely put the original Alien in there. The Thing stays and so does The Shining. I’d have to really think on my other 7 titles. Thanks for the heads up on Kino, I am a sucker for slip covers. I ordered Needful Things AND Sudden Death. I have to have my Van Dammage. I’m only missing Death Warrant but I’m thinking a 4k might be in the future, so I’ll wait a little bit longer!

@VideoGhoulash 2 месяца назад

Dead and Buried is amazing. Absolutely LOVE that flick. Of course, any horror film set in a seaside town where the director knows how to let things linger and vibe and create a spooky atmosphere, I'm going to be a big fan. Ti West is having a well-deserved resurgence but I've been watching his stuff since The Roost which I randomly found when I was in film school. House of the Devil is badass and I would say has some cool atmosphere but I remember The Innkeepers being moreso. That said, I'm not sure I'd put any of his stuff on a top 10 atmospheric horror list. This is a fantastic topic and one of my favorite aspects of horror, building and creating a super moody atmosphere that oozes off the screen that the audience can literally feel, that seeps into the marrow and stays with you. I'd highly recommend 1973's Messiah of Evil. 2022's OffSeason was really rad and had some cool atmosphere. I might need to save this topic for a future vid! Awesome! 👻

Just found your channel through The Cobwebs Channel. Thanks so much for sharing. I believe they have been working on a big renew of Salem's Lot. Unfortunately, there have been some delays and issues with releasing it or if it's been filmed yet. I've been hearing about it for a couple of years. Hopefully they do it soon. When you mentioned the late night DJ, it make me think of the 1979 movie The Warriors. Not horror, but kind of creepy about a gang running for the lives through the streets of New York City one night and you have the DJ who's kind of following them and reports on and off through out the movie. Thanks again!!

Love the atmosphere of The Funhouse. Not the greatest slasher movie, but a good one. And it nails the carny atmosphere that propels it to "great" territory. Great list man.

Hitchcock's The Birds was genuinely scary - the diner scene with the characters especially gives it a creepy, small town vibe. Stephen King is almost his own category of juxtaposition small town nostalgia with horror. Nice list - I really want to rewatch The Fog, and give Halloween III a chance.

@AVAPopCulture 2 месяца назад

@Whosthis761 definitely has some of that vibe and I considered it but for me, once the movie goes for slasher tyoe kills etc it moves away from this eerie/creepy/unsettling vibe that creates an atmosphere and mystery and sparks your own "what the hell" type imagination...kinda more of a subtle slow burn set in...

Great list, there’s a couple on there I need to check out! Halloween III & The Amityville Horror creeped me out so much as a kid. And Tom Adkins slingin dick will be stuck in my head forever 😂 For me I would add The Dead Zone, It Comes at Night and the Japanese film Cure, to this list. And I would also add The House of the Devil…lol. I do agree with some of your thoughts and feel it felt more late 70s, possibly 1980 or 81 but i thought Ti West captured that time well. I was completely immersed in that film from start to finish. The great thing about films and especially horror is what creeps us out is subjective and quite personal

@AVAPopCulture 2 месяца назад

@TheTylerpoe I certainly did not hate House of the Devil but I am probably going to tackle it in a video of it's own or in a director's spotlight video (a new series I'm going to start doing) "Tom Atkins slinging dick around" may be the greatest sentence ever 🤣...gotta give @TheOriginalFuzz that credit because it is so perfect and I'll use it forever lol... The Dead Zone is one I considered for sure along with Children of the Corn and Silver Bullet but I saw this quickly turning into a stephen king list lol...

@TheTylerpoe 2 месяца назад

@@AVAPopCulture I actually just picked up Children of the Corn recently, I honestly don’t think Ive watched it since my parents rented it on VHS. That was back in the early days when we would rent a VCR as well….lol Another dynamic to House of the Devil is I discovered it completely randomly so there was zero expectations for me. I knew nothing about it and just stumbled across it. Might have felt differently if it had been hyped up. A director series sounds really cool !

@AVAPopCulture 2 месяца назад

@TheTylerpoe yeah, the hype train can definitely affect things...that's why I was considering tackling this film on my overhyped movies series but with the spin of how over positive hype can also hurt movies.... The flip side can be true too...I had always skipped over watching the movie "Chopping Mall" because it was so bashed and made fun of by anyone who wasn't a hard-core horror fan (and even some who were) BUT I got on a Barbara crampton kick and watched it the other day and loved it lol...all the ridiculous 80s cheese and fun with a Roger corman type flair...so that was hype influencing me the other way! I haven't seen children of the corn all the way through in probably 25 years either...I am picking up the Arrow version though..

@anthonymerchant2597 2 месяца назад

The Tom Savini remake of Night of the Living Dead is definitely one that falls in this category. It's because of the atmosphere of a isolated rural community that makes it so great and it's my personal favorite of any of the films that wasn't made by Romero but exceeds his orginal vision. I feel it's the film that laid the blueprint for The Walking Dead series and I'm sure it inspired the comic and series. Another one underappreciated for this is Phantoms.

@AVAPopCulture 2 месяца назад

@AVAPopCulture Well, in that same vibe, I would ad The Blob. Phantoms take several of the same beats. Lots of my Army buddies loved that with several reading the book because of it, but Dean Kootz novel is a bit different. Much like anything Michael C. ever wrote, though it's a crime what they did to Timeline. Like I told you, if it's one most people haven't even heard of, I probably have it in my collection.
