What's Your Favorite Horror Movie?

[acagle7]

Mine is Halloween. What's yours?

[JohnPopa]

'Carrie''s probably my favorite.

Although I'm a big geek about the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' movies too.

[ocelotrevs]

28 Days Later

Mainly because I know loads of the places in the film

[Devon C.]

Showgirls.

Well, you said horror films. This one was pretty darn scary.

[Shellhead]

Tie between: Alien, or the Ring.

[Chevan]

The Ring
28 Days Later

[artemisboy]

Ug. This one is hard. I don't think I can name my *favorite* but I can give you a top 5:

- Silver Bullet

- Fright Night

- A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors

- Halloween

- Dracula


- Peter

[HomerJay]

Night Of The Living Dead (1968)

[Greg Hatcher]

Hmm. Mine is probably the PBS version of Dracula with Louis Jourdan.

[Neil]

Night Of The Living Dead (1968)
I'll second this choice.

I'll add The Wicker Man, Black Sabbath (1964) and Re-Animator as other obvious favorites.

I really can't name just one...

[GremlinClr]

Jacobs Ladder

[Daniel Hopkins]

Probably the scariest movie i have seen was the new Amityville Horror........

I was under the influence at the time that may have something to do with it?

[CHEYENNE-BLACKBIRD]

maybe aliens..........its hard to say

[Tish-the-Scorpion]

hard to pick just one really

house-kinda underrated

evil dead trilogy

predator 2

[Ontir]

I've got a few:

the Exorcist

Dracula both the Lugosi and Coppola versions

the Addiction Abel Ferrara's Vampire movie with Lily Taylor

Invasion of the Body Snatchers I & II and the third version Body Snatchers

Black Christmas

and what list would be complete without... Rosemary's Baby!

I've got to add the Howling! Such a great film, written by John Sayles, with a built in sequel, that was completely ignored so that they could make increasingly wierd and awful follow-ups! Remember the marsupial sequel?

[Punisher]

Evil Dead trilogy and the George A. Romero Living Dead series.

[Davideaux]

The Omen
Nightmare on Elm Street
Poltergeist

[Rabid Trekkie]

Dracula (Bela Lugosi)

The Mummy (Boris Karloff)

The Wolfman (Lon Chaney Jr.)

The Invisible Man (name escapes me at the moment)

House on the Haunted Hill (Vincent Price)

Of course most of the old horror movies with Karloff and Price are very good and even some of Lugosi's bad movies are worth it just to see his creepy aura play out on screen. These new horror movies don't have anything on the classics.

[Dennis K]

[Royal]

High Plains Drifter

[Calamas]

The Crow, which I consider horror, though I've had arguments with those who call it action.

[Legato]

Nightmare On Elm Street: The horror series that got me into horror films.

Oringinal Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Texas Chainsaw Massacre Remake

IT: Now I know why people fear clowns. If I saw an 8ft clown with sharp teeth Id probably piss myself. The book was scarier though.

The Shining

American Werewolf In London: They never make decent Werewolf films like that anymore.

Dawn of The Dead & The Remake

[Dennis K]

High Plains Drifter


Now that's thinking outside the box, excellent choice.

[Corey Dreher]

IT: Now I know why people fear clowns. If I saw an 8ft clown with sharp teeth Id probably piss myself. The book was scarier though.


Yeah that movie was horrible though, atleast the ending....if they changed it then I would've loved that movie.....

[DDM]

You should track down 1988's Killer Klowns from Outer Space. The movie is basically a black comedy about aliens--in the forms of monstrous clowns--out to eat humans for food.

[Voncaster]

I'll vote for Nightmare on Elm Street and House on Haunted Hill

[Ravenheart]

I live for horror movies and my favorite has to be Halloween.

[GUYANATHUGG]

Hellraiser 1 and 2

[The Joker]

If I had to narrow it down to just one, I would probably go with Tobe Hooper's 1974 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

[Royal]

First Blood

[mattbib]

My favorite is Halloween; and I even enjoy its sequels (including the Thornn stuff) better than other horror franchises.

[Sandoz]

Dawn of the Dead '78 (All-time fav.)
Night of the Living Dead '68
Evil Dead 2
Re-Animator
Psycho
The Exorcist
The Shining

[Winterwolf]

John Captenter's The Thing and Halloween
George Romero's Night of the Living Dead With honorable mentions to Dawn and Day.
Wes Craven's Last House on the Left, Serpent and the rainbow
Universals The Mummy With honorable Mentions to the other Classic Universal and Hammer Films Icons.
As far as a series/franshise of Films I always liked Clive Barker's Hellraiser

and I am sure I am forgetting a great many other silms aswell. :D

[cactusmaac]

Hellraiser.

[blackdragon6]

damn no love for NOTLD remake?

[Guts/Batman]

Jaws.

Yes, it is a horror film. :D

[Winterwolf]

damn no love for NOTLD remake?

I Actually liked the Salvini Remake of Night, it isn't as horrible as many people say it is. I don't like it as much as the original but it is still a nice Zombie flick. Tom just isn't as good a director as George was unfortunatly.

[zombie]

damn no love for NOTLD remake?

I've only seen it once, years ago, but I did enjoy it, just not as much as the original. The makeup sure was nice though.

Oh right, my favourite...uhm...that's tough. The Ring and The Blair Witch Project are probably the two latest releases that have given me chills, but all time favourite would be...Hellraiser, Night Of The Living Dead (original), or Evil Dead 2. Maybe. It's too hard to chose!
