best horror movie

[bigman45]

what is your best horror movie .. :eek:

i would have to say the remake to the thing... its a classic

[Steve]

That's the one with Kurt Russel in it right?

The spider head still creeps me out.

[DDM]

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes...

But one of my all time favorites is the original Night of the Living Dead.

[TomGun13]

The Exorcist, Max von Sydow rules!

[HomerJay]

But one of my all time favorites is the original Night of the Living Dead.

I agree. Maybe my fav movie of all-time PERIOD.
In college I wrote a 15-page paper about it, breaking down it's political themes amongst other aspects.

[Domo Goddess]

Sleepaway Camp for me. I have not seen the other two movies of it.
I used to like Night of the Demons a lot, but now it's kind of....meh.

Has anyone ever seen Castle Freak ?
If so, is it as slow moving as everyone says ?

[Chou Blaster]

I sa wthe Exocrist.. By myself, when I was 13, and it was r-uncutted (Thanks to being VHS.)

and it did not scare me.

The Thing (oh yes that one.) sure as Hell gave me the creeps though.

[Albert]

The Exorcist is still my top fave.
Honorable mentions to The Changeling and Legend of Hell House for providing some sleepless nights in my youth. Funny how most of the movies that I remember being scared of as a kid now seem so utterly cheesy-- like The Entity and Beyond the Door.

[MarvelKnight]

Frankenstein, it's gets me closer to my wife all the time.

[Dennis K]

My vote goes to Halloween, the best film of its kind since Psycho.

[acagle7]

Halloween. No contest.

[Guts/Batman]

Jaws will forever be my favorite.

[marshal99]

Sleepaway Camp for me. I have not seen the other two movies of it.
I used to like Night of the Demons a lot, but now it's kind of....meh.


Hmmm...you have some sort of fetish for characters named Angela ?!?

[FOX]

Another vote for Jaws.

[blackdragon6]

i'm suprised how well evil dead holds up its still moody and creepy.for the life of me i can't understand why sam raimi turned it into a comedy/fantasy/horror in the sequels.

either way my picks are

the thing

in the mouth of madness

the phantasim series-probably the first action oriented horror film.

blade series-great action/horror films

the living dead franshise

the ring

more l8ter if i remember

[bigman45]

i got to go with ... the remake of night of the living dead the 80S one :eek:

[Royal]

I like Le Corbeau or L'Uccello Dalle Piume Di Cristallo

[Domo Goddess]

Ghost Story is another movie I will never watch again.
I remember when I first saw it, I was like :eek:
I knew I should have expected the scare scenes, but oh well.

[GUYANATHUGG]

The Ring, The Exorcist and Poltergeist II (Only cuz a that old dude saying 'God is in... his holy temple...')

[Albert]

Ghost Story is another movie I will never watch again.
I remember when I first saw it, I was like :eek:
I knew I should have expected the scare scenes, but oh well.

Plus, Ghost Story had some jarring full-frontal male nudity... while the guy is falling to his death! But still, a good movie, though a little too much padding in the film. It could have used a second pass by the editor to tighten things up. Was that Fred Astaire's last screen appearance btw?

[bodie_3_7_ci5]

Horror is the under-rated genre and it is my personal favourite. I can never pick a straight out favourite, so I will list my top ten best horror movies.

) Friday the 13th Part 2 - Better than the original. Our first look at Jason

2) Halloween - One of the first slasher films and Michael Myers is still scary.

3) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre(Original) - When I first watched this it scared the living daylights out of me. Freaky Stuff.

4) Scarecrows - Five bank robbers, on the run with over $3 million in stolen cash, are in for it when one of them takes the cash and parachutes from their hijacked plane into a deserted cornfield. The cornfield is populated by supernatural scarecrows possessed by evil. This is quite scary.

5) Phantasm - Don Coscarelli's classic horror film where nothing is as it seems.

6) Evil Dead - Weird and spooky stuff

7) The Omen - I never liked the exorcist too much, this was creepier.

8) John Carpenter's The Thing - This film is still unparallelled, even by today's standards, for its use of striking and horrifying special fx. A great, though paranoia driven, story as well.

9) Deep Red - A great Argento film in the giallo tradition; creepy set pieces, with equally creepy murders.

10) Evil Dead 2 - side-splittingly hilarious, Raimi's masterpiece of comedy and horror still hasn't been matched. Bruce Campbell is hands down the ultimate cult hero.

[DDM]

i got to go with ... the remake of night of the living dead the 80S one :eek:

Do you mean Return of the Living Dead?

[blackdragon6]

i got to go with ... the remake of night of the living dead the 80S one :eek:i think your refering to the 90's remake

[CaptMagellan]

I can't pick just one...

Night of the Living Dead
Evil Dead 2
The Thing
Angel Heart
Hellraiser
The Exorcist
The Howling
To the Devil a Daughter
The Ninth Gate
The Ring

Damn... my list could just go on and on.

[Domo Goddess]

Well, I don't remember the nudity, but I do remember the scenes
with the ghost.

I saw my first Japanese horror movie a month ago called Evil Dead Trap 2. It was kind of slow moving IMO.

[bigman45]

no the 80's one with color version .... when the black got guy tern'd in to a zombie at the end :eek:

[Domo Goddess]

I'm still curious about Asylum.
I have no idea what happened to my Trilogy of Terror VHS. :(

[DDM]

no the 80's one with color version .... when the black got guy tern'd in to a zombie at the end :eek:

You're thinking of the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead.

[Domo Goddess]

I'm glad that Campfire Tales is on DVD now. :)
I was a little curious about Luther the Geek, but I don't know if I want to sit
through 2 hours of a guy clucking like a chicken ! ( I'm serious ! )

[bigman45]

DDM
You're thinking of the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead.



yeah thats the one i was talking about ... that was a good one other then dawn of the deead if you ask me and i mean the remake .. i mean i am a horror buff so i got a about 300 dvd's and over half of them are horror .. but i need to get that one the 90's remake.. but i can't find it no where


p.s 28 days latter.. must have

[Tien Long]

I'm scared of lots of horror movies. Really, it just depends on which horror movie is scaring me at the moment, whether I find out about it from friends or the internet. After watching AMC's list of 100 scariest movies, I've been occasionally disturbed by such frightening cult classics like:

The Wicker Man
Cannibal Holocaust
The Blair Witch Project
Jaws
Poltergeist
Nightmare on Elm Street
Friday the 13th
(Night, Dawn, Day) of the Living Dead
Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Jeez, I feel freakin' disturbed just by naming these films! :D

[Domo Goddess]

I liked AMC's List of 100 Scary Movie Moments even though I had never seen half the movies mentioned ( Sentinel / Suspiria / etc )

[Kirayoshi]

A lot of people hated The Blair Witch Project(and I myself got bored with the hype), but it was genuinely creepy, in part because of how the three principles genuinly looked scared out their skins. It was what you didn't see off-camera that provided the chills in that one.

The classic, Psycho, still delivers the shivers.

The original Alien was as much horror as sci-fi. It's the sequels that turned it into an action franchise.

[StrawNilla]

Scooby Doo and the Alien Invaders.

Creepy, compelling, rich.

[Tweek]

Sleepaway Camp for me. I have not seen the other two movies of it.
I used to like Night of the Demons a lot, but now it's kind of....meh.

Has anyone ever seen Castle Freak ?
If so, is it as slow moving as everyone says ?
Yeah, Castle Freak is kinda slow paced, unfortunatelly... But still, it's quite good movie, especially if you are Stuart Gordon fan.

Anyway, my favourite horror movies are: Reanimator, From Beyond, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, House Of 1000 Corpses, Evil Dead...

[Punisher]

My picks would be:
George A. Romero's Living Dead series excluding the remake of Night of the Living Dead
The Thing
Halloween
Se7en
Saw
Sorry but I couldn't chose just one.

[SPAfreak]

The original Alien was as much horror as sci-fi. It's the sequels that turned it into an action franchise.

Half of Aliens was still a fantastic haunted house story. I'm just glad that somebody mentioned Alien. Great movie.

Does Castle Freak show the mother torturing / disfiguring
Giorgio or is it told by another character ?
I read she disfigured him more because of the way he was born and blamed him for his father leaving them.

Yesterday I came across a site that had a collection of
British horror movies which included Asylum that I want to see VERY badly,
but the site was UK based. :mad:

[Avalanche]

Dawn of the Dead 78, there's nothing better.

[Grazzt]

The Tinglers, by virtue of it being the only Vincent Price film I've ever seen. (Vincent Price trumps all) ;)

"Scream! Scream for your life!!!!"

Although I want to see 'The Abominable Dr. Phibes'.

Sorry, can't remember correctly now, it's been a long time since I watched that movie.

[Domo Goddess]

I tried to look for sites that sold horror movies and couldn't find any good sites.
