What Are Some Cheezy / Classic Horror Flick Essentials?

Just curious because I've been looking into buying some of those midnight classics or whatever they're called. I currently own the Motel Hell / Derranged duo....anyone have any suggestions?

...erm... Herschell Gordon Lewis's so-terribly-bad-it's-very-good-if-not-absolutely-brilliant Blood Feast - the granddaddy of slasher flicks... better yet: get the Blood Trilogy...! ! !. . .

Here are a couple from the Midnight Movie Collection:

It! The Terror from Beyond Space
The Angry Red Planet


Not a Midnight Movie but highly recommended:

Them! Fun movie and fantastic transfer

and I would second the recommendations for the Blood Trilogy and The Blob (the original, not the remake)

Last Man on Earth from Diamond. It's a fuzzy non-anamorphic print, but it's a neat flick.

Waxwork is my favorite. It is very very cheesy but still fun to watch. Only problem is it's only available in R4. Ezydvd has it on sale for about $8.14 shipped to the U.S.
Waxwork here

I saw 2000 maniacs for the first time last year and I loved it.
The Convent is a great movie.

Beleive it or not, the Madacy DVD of this film is supposed to have a better transfer.

From: on a river in a kayak..where else?
as said...just about any and all H.G. Lewis fits the bill. I also have a fondness for any cheese flick from The Blood Collection which includes Beast of Blood, Brain of Blood and Brides of Blood, among others. nothin' beats drive-in slop. spaghetti cheese could include a few of my personal favs from Italy.....Contamination, Hell of the Living Dead and Nightmare City.
