I'm on a binge of tracking down obscure 70's/80's/90's horror VHS, DVDs, and wondering if anyone has any recommendations. I've exhausted the accepted cannon of Western horror, and am looking for less talked about films from this era. I enjoyed Deadly Friend by Wes Craven, and Carpenter's Prince of Darkness, so my taste falls along those lines. Any recommendations? Anything, with strong Christian overtones (I'm not a fundamentalist, but I find horror movies where the villain is PURE SATANIC EVIL to be extremely satisfying)?

Pinocchio's Revenge (1996)
The Phantom of the Opera (1989)
Camp Fear (1991)
Stuart Gordon's Castle Freak (1995)
After Midnight (1989)
Return to Horror High (1987)
The Phantom of the Opera (1983)
Popcorn (1991)

2 None of these films are obscure, in fact most of them are out on Blu-Ray!

Thanks, I'll be sure and give these a whirl, except for Popcorn...saw it already, and loved it! Dee Wallace being in it was a nice surprise.

The First Power.

Have you seen Litan? If not, give it a shot.

Messiah of Evil (1973) There is a shoddy copy and a really really good copy floating around on youtube. The good copy makes it a great film. I only saw this version recently and the ranking went from a "wierdo gem" to a "must see wierdo gem"

Horror Hotel (1960) Ironically, I have an old dvd with both this and Messiah on it. This is creeeepy as shit. It isn't talked about much but is damn terrifying.

Both of these are a must for Halloween or FTV for the movie challenge.
