Nice collection of films.

Might I recommend:
Dellamorte Dellamore (aka Cemetary Man)
Audition
Vampire vs Vampire
The Church
Suspiria

Also, did you know that White Zombie was the first zombie movie?

Chris B.,

I appreciate the suggestions. Good picks. I just saw Audition--more bad craziness from Miike--and remember being completely taken by surprise at how good Cemetery Man was; I think it used to pop up this time of year on IFC or Sundance channel. And you read my mind: last night I put Suspiria on my Netflix Queue. And I checked out The Church and Vampire vs. Vampire: Soavi and a good Mr. Vampire spinoff? How can we go wrong? Thanks again, Chris.

Not a problem! Miike is nuts. Have you seen Happiness of the Katikuris? It is a musical with death and zombies!

The Church was originally to be called Demons 3, but the idea took on a life of it's own.

Cemetary man is rumored to be getting a DVD release from Anchor Bay, I imported the Italian edition last year.

Suspiria is clasic, and the last film to use technicolor.

Another one to check out, not exactly horror though is Onibaba.

Onibaba! That's the title! My teenaged daughters are getting into Asian horror, and I've been trying to remember the name of that one. I last saw this 1964 movie about five years ago in a beautiful Criterion transfer; it's a good pick, because, while not strictly horror, it goes all the way, stopping just short of supernatural elements. But you're right, one to watch. And so in that spirit let's not forget Kwaidan (1965) and Woman in the Dunes (1964; look at those dates; weird times in Japan), based on a novel by Kobo Abe. Again, amazing glimpses into the pre-Miike world of Japanese cinema.
