Lesser know horror flicks, that are a must

I think every horror fan has that one film they love but no one else seem to have heard of.

Mine is a little known Christopher Lee movie from the mid-nineties called Funnyman. If you spent any time with me at my house at some point I would make you watch this comic horror. I love it partly because it has such a British sense of humour, which does make me wonder how well it goes down outside the UK, but so be it (anyone outside the UK wo's seen it you'll have to let me know)
Basic premise, a house is won in a card game, the new owner accidentally wakes an entity in the house, who just happens to be based on punch (as in punch and judy), this jester like character then goes about humously offing the family and group of hitchikers that end up at the house. I'm not going to tell you more only, this is very funny and you need to see it.


So now I have shared my film I think the world needs to watch. Whats yours?

`Hmmm...

Day of the Beast comes to mind. It's about a catholic priest who figures out a bible code prophecy about the world's impending doom from the birth of the antichrist. In order to save the world, he vows to commit evil and sin (shoplifting, murder, self abuse, etc) until he is able find and defeat Satan and prevent the antichrist from entering the world. It's a surrealistic comedy where its unclear whether or not the priest and his cohorts who help him (a metal head who devoutly believes in the priest's mission to do evil and a reluctant fraudulent TV paranormal investigator) are actually facing this reality, or if it's the result of the drugs they are taking or insanity brought about by the priest's "poor circulation" problem.

I would have to say "Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane".
When a scientist on the run from the CIA manages to smuggle a contaminated body onto a commercial overseas flight, the plane becomes an incubator for a quickly growing army of the undead. With a zombie invasion spreading through the cabin, only a handful of passengers remains to fight off their fellow infected travelers.

Now before you think "Snakes on a Plane" this is more a homage to those disaster airplane films of the '70s. The special effects and makeup FX are actually pretty good, it's just a fun zombie movie. This went straight to DVD and I think it's one of those rare films no one knows about.
