Is there any horror movie without dark rooms,shadows,etc.


Almost all the horror/monster movies I have are old B/Ws, some even silent. But here's a few, anyway. I'll try pick brighter ones but I haven't seen some of these in a while so I may mess up a few.
Creature From the Black Lagoon
The Shining
It (1990 tv version. I don't know about the newer ones)
Sleepy Hollow with Johnny Depp isn't too dark.
A Bucket of Blood
The Wasp Woman
The Killer Shrews (just a brief encounter in a cellar but otherwise not too dark)
The Crawling Eye
The Beast of Yucca Flats (considered one of the worst horror movies made but not dark)
Eegah (look what they made Richard Kiel do before he became a Bond villain, poor guy)
Little Shop of Horrors
The Crater Lake Monster (watch this if you like claymation monsters)
Snowbeast
The Dead Zone (2002 version. I haven't seen the other)
The Fly (either version)

Oh yeah, the new Dark Shadows with Johnny Depp is a comedy but has a vampire, witch, werewolf and an angry mob, of course.
edit: I should also warn you that some of those movies, like Eegah, Crawling Eye, and Beast of Yucca, came from a collection of the worst horror/monster movies ever made. That often makes them hilarious. Beast From Yucca, though, is just plain bad but has a cute rabbit at the end.

There is one called:" das weiße Band" or "the withe ribbon " its pretty scary eventhough IT holds non of those Things IT will leave you shaking

Val Lewton perfected the dark sombre atmospheric look with Cat People and The Leopard Man. He only produced, but his mark is on all his movies. They call the moment the protagonist is alone and a hand reaches out to grab his shoulder, only it's his friend, a Val Lewton Moment. The cat jumps into the frame and scares the *insert your own moniker here* out of everyone.
And Roger Corman rocks. And, Egad! It's Eegah! ROTF They had the Ancestor Worship right.
Somewhere I read a film maker saying if you have a monster, no matter how bad it looks, put it on screen, don't try to hide it to the end.

Yeah, Tremors is good for some tremors. (see what I did there?) I've never read nor seen any Dune. I know, I know.

Some of Carpenter's aren't so dark and shadowy. Try In the Mouth of Madness. Sam Neill, Jurgen Prochnow, David Warner RIP.
Christine was pretty bright, and so silly it's fun.
Ghosts of Mars is pretty in your face and doesn't rely on shadowy effects, although the lighting is sort of reddish Mars at night. Don't know how scary you can call it, but it's one of my favorites of his. Natasha is PHAT, Ice Cube is fun, Pam Greer is a classic and a half and still lookin good here, Jason Statham is one of the hottest actors now, and Joanna Cassidy is another all time classic, Bladerunner and many other excellent movies. She is still PHAT.
The Eyes of Laura Mars is a cult classic. Tommy Lee Jones, Faye Runaway, Brad Dourif, Rene Auberjonois, and Raul Julia.
They Live is pretty much normal daylight shots around town. A fairly unique movie.(?)


Just found a 2011 Norwegian version on Netflix. I'm only a little ways in, but professionally done, cost $38 mil, they've only made $31.5 back. Supposed to be a prequel to the Carpenter version. I'm enjoying it. Gets mixed reviews.
The original 1951 doesn't show Arness as the monster clearly except a few times. Carpenter's monster is a symbiote, or whatever you call a creature inhabiting our bodies. Invasion of the Body Snatchers, same thing. (Notice Robert Duvall, in the beginning, on a child's swing, in the background, as a Priest in the remake of Bodysnatchers with Spock) (Also Kronos, the Alien takes over the Doc's body, and numerous others). This one so far hasn't really shown the monster. I'm only 40 minutes in. It has black scenes with nothing but lights in them, so they are using shadows and darkness in the monster scenes, out in the snow and blizzard looking for it. I think they are going to show it in its full glory. This is the first CGI effort and they put a lot of money into the CGI. So far, it's top quality.
They can do whatever they want with the story. I never read it, but it sounds like a short story they had to flesh out anyway. For me, it's debatable which is better, Hawks or Carpenter. I love them both. Everyone forgets, or doesn't bother studying movie history enough to know, that the original is 1951, not 1983. I read more reviews on IMDB that are woefully misinformed because the person doesn't know anything about the movies. Films. Fillums.
