Also haven't seen any Friday 13th films. Only seen Halloween 1 and 3. Barely seen any Slasher films, including The Burning. Never seen an episode of Twilight Zone. Never seen a Jess Franco film. The list goes on

I have to say I've not seen a lot of cult movies having been mainstream. I had a brief dalliance with Redemption movies in the 80's or was it the 90's? But recently decided to broaden my filmic horizons! So far what I've seen I've enjoyed. Tenebrae was a complete surprise, I was hooked with the scene that craned over the building together with the music!

What sort of films do you generally watch Ant?

You have a lot of great films to come if you can get round to watching them.

Any Hammer Horror
Any Universal Monster film

Same here, except I've seen one Hammer, Plague of the Zombies

That's the thing I don't have a general sort, I'm happy to watch any film from any genre. I watch either a Blu from my 'to watch' pile (in excess of 200), whatever happens to arrive from Lovefilm (450+) or whatever happens to be on TV that I've heard is good.

I do put High Priority on Lovefilm to certain films people recommend on here.

Ill second that, Hellraiser 2 is a surreal dark film. Dr Channard is one evil........Dr! I would love a day out in Clive Barkers head! Cristopher Young's Score is great also.

I personally think Love Letters of a Portugeuse Nun is one of his best and most accessible.

Of those mentioned so far I haven't seen Child's Play (and only maybe half of Franco's films, there are just so damn many).

One of the reasons I like the Dead by Dawn festival is the mix of new and old that is shown, you can normally expect 3-4 classics (including a Hitchcock) and the audible sharp intake of breath that follows the number of hands that go up when Adele asks the question "Hands up who hasn't seen <insert name of classic that any self respecting horror fan should have seen>?" is always a funny moment.

Oh my. You really should rectify this and at least watch the Hammer films. How can anyone have lived their entire life without ever seeing a Hammer horror movie? That almost beggars belief. I charge you, sir, with putting this right!

So, just to clarify, you've never watched a single Hammer horror, ever?

I've only seen one, and that's Plague Of The Zombies.

Good movie though

If anyone's going to watch any hammer, make it Quatermass and the Pit!
