I've been having a real craveing to see more goth and horror movies lately. So please give me some recs. ^_^

I'll start with recing something I like:

Kigeki

Summury: A gothic fairy tale. Sadly only 10 mins long.

I was also wondering if there were any goth get togethers to watch movies or something?

Love,

ksha2222

PS: I would LOVE to see a get together for goth movies and such.

If anyone is interested, I would be happy to host some Movie Meetups. Email me and we can set some up. I will put out the call on the main board as well.

Hello ksha2222 and all!

Goth movies. Gawd, where do I start?

One of my favs in the genre is "The Hunger"(1983), starring David Bowie, Catherine Deneuve, and Susan Sarandon. Vampire flick with a modern twist. Opening credits theme song is "Bela Lugosi's Dead" with Peter Murphy singing from a cage.

Another good one, Though I have not seen it for a long time, is "Gothic" (1986), starring Gabriel Byrne, Julian Sands, and Natasha Richardson. A group of 18th century writers get together and try to create the ultimate goth story, including the start of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

"Sleepy Hollow" starring Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci

Most Tim Burton films have a dark Gothy feel, but my favs of his are: "Beetlejuice", "edward Scissorhands", and "Nightmare before Christmas".

The list can go on, but others may have some more suggestions
