"Colossus the Forbin Project" is one of my favorite cautionary Sci-fi classics. I think it qualifies quite well as a horror film too.

A super computer is designed by a brilliant computer scientist to coordinate all of America's missle defense system in the event of an unexpected nuclear attack. Colossus over time becomes self aware, discovers that the USSR also has a similar computer system, and integrates itself with the other system (Called Guardian) to gain access to Russia's nuclear arsenal too.

Eventually Colossus holds the entire world hostage to its will, and demonstrates its determination to show it means business, by detonating two nuclear ICBMs, one in the USSR and one in the USA.

Still a gripping picture.

I remember Rula Lenska

She was an elegent lady of some 70's sort or another. I think she was Scandanavian.

If the testicles do shrivel up and rot

One good rule as Rula Lenska will tell you

Is to apply lots of Oil of Frito Lay.

Horror Hotel?

That old black 'n white movie with Christopher Lee, about a small New England town, and its mysterious witch colony?

That's a good one!

I saw that movie when I was very very small, and figured that the world was comin' to a close, that we'd all finally come to - that's all.

@missyhelly

The Korean horror story "A Tale of Two Sisters" is said to be poised pretty soon to be remade into a new American version, whether it'll be any good, is a matter of speculation.

A really flipped out, great ghost story, from the creepy crypts of Korean horror movies, is a movie entitled "R-Point."

"R-Point" is about, and is set during the Viet-Nam war, and concerns a platoon of soldiers sent in to retrieve a mysteriously lost platoon.

Little do the hapless men of the retrieval company realize that they are walking over a centuries old, ancient mass grave, and are wandering into madness, their own mental undoings, and death.

Great ghost story.

"R-Point" R-eal pointedly scarey. Really.

Good luck gettin' folks to the polls. The hour of the shape of things to come is unfolding.

Two more from the Crypt of Klytus...

"The Mist"

What's out there in the mist....?

Probably the best screen adaptation of any Stephen King material I've seen in many years.

"The Signal"

Television sets everywhere begin recieving a strange signal that induces a state of extreme mass psychosis in a terrified town called Terminus.

Excellant indpendent production with a story that goes in wildly unexpected directions.
