If you haven't yet seen it, I would (yet again) suggest The Changeling, a horror mystery from 1980 starring George C. Scott. It's known for being both intelligent and creepy ..

And Guillermo Del Toro lists it in his top 5 ghost movies. I would too as it's an old favourite of mine.

Agreed, this is an intelligent ghost flick and the film is certainly highlighted by the quality of George C.Scott.

I`ve been watching a lot of Hammer, Amicus and AIP horror films recently round a friends place and the following really stick out for their quality:

Hammer- The Gorgon, The Plague of Zombies, Countess Dracula, The Reptile, Captain Kronos, Most of the Dracula`s, Most of the Frankenstein`s.
Amicus- The House That Dripped Blood, Tales from the Crypt, Asylum, Vault of Horror.
AIP- Pit and the Pendulum, Masque of the Red Death, Scream and Scream Again and Witchfinder General in an uncut version (brutal for a film from 1968!!!)

Also there is my personal fav in Theatre of Blood and a mesmerizing performance from Vincent Price.

As you can see I`m a big fan of Vincent Price and Christopher Lee.

Superb choices here. Love Amicus films (I have the limited 5 disc coffin shaped set 0nly 5,000 made) and theatre of Blood is awesome stuff. you a fan of the director Pete Walker or familiar with his work?

Horror Hospital and Psychomania are another couple of British classics from the 70's although cheesy as hell.

Hey.....I remember this Amicus coffin box set when it came out.

I`m not familiar with Peter Walker and will certainly locate some of his stuff, just had a quick look on wiki about him as well and seems my kind of thing.

I`ve just had a look at Horror Hospital, it looks a classic, it mentions *** travel agents, brothel madams, zombie bikers and a dwarf.....sounds just like my kind of thing.

I`m also a huge fan of Universal horror and have most of the collection including the classic 3 monster (Dracula, Frankenstein monster and Werewolf) model figures and dvd set. Love the Frankenstein collection along with the classic Karloff/Lugosi triple set of Black Cat, the Raven and the Invisible Ray.
