What are you lots favourite horror movies?
Even though it was low budget and a lot of people had nothing good to say about it, i was genuinly freaked out by the blair witch project when i was watching it rather late and had to desperately venture to the bathroom.
I've seen hellraiser and candyman and all that and havent found them that scary so does anyone have any suggestions of REALLY scary films?
:twisted:

i hate to admit but scary movies aren't what they used to be.. i remember when halloween and friday the 13th scared the shit outta me. i dunno..maybe because i was like 12 but still.. i guess my fav horror flick that recently came out was freddy vs. jason. i liked that movie lots! another that messed with my head was signs.. just for the fact that it seemed so real. but i dunno if that would be classified as horror.. OK i'm shutting up now lol

Honestly, I can't really think of any movie that's really truly scared me...like made me jump, cuz they always give away what's going to happen with the music. Some horror flicks I enjoyed though were Poltergeist, The Frighteners, Waxwork, Carrie, Fright Night, Jeepers Creepers and so on.

I thought Signs was great BTW. Even though it's not a slasher style horror flick, M. Night Shyamalan does a great job in his films of creeping you out without having to get all gory. He's working on a new film to be released next year. Can't wait :)

Yeah i thought jeepers creepers was a really good film, it wasnt incredibly scary but in a sense it was if that makes ANY sense.
I like the part at the end where the demon thingy mibob is looking through that nifty little hole where his eye once was, ahhhh.
Most horror movies have a way of 'working out' in the end in that the move itself is one big scary chase and the ending is disapointing in the sense that nothing really comes off the story. It's like they have a good plot and waste it, they dont stretch its potential. At least jeepers creepers DIDNT work out well in the end, people died but it wasnt a gorefest and that's what made it work.

i really liked joy ride

Okay. So, I know you're looking for scary films here, but I feel the need to mention Bleeders. It tells the story of a couple going to an island to find out more about the man's ancestry because he has some weird heart disease or something.
Little does everyone know, underneath the island in the sewer/cave/things, live scores of inbred mutant hermaphrodites who feast on the flesh of the dead. While, since it is an island, the island-folk are soon forced to ship the newly dead to the mainland for lack of room in the cemetary, causing the inbred mutant hermaphrodites to search for food elsewhere.

DUNDUNDUN.

So of course they start attacking and eating live people. How they accomplish this, I don't understand. They are mutant inbred hermaphrodites. They walk on their asses because they don't have legs. I think I could run away from one if it tried to get me. But then, I am not a resident of Retard Island.
Yeah. I only rented it because the cover looked scary. The movie is supposed to be scary. But when the first scene is a love scene between a brother and sister, and you throw inbred mutant hermaphrodites into the mix... you cease to be scary and just become downright funny.

Scary movies... I really liked the Poltergeist ones, Friday the 13th, Halloween... but I don't really think they'd scare me now.

lol kate.. bleeders.. haha...
*I AM COMING AFTER YOU ON MY ASSS!*

i love Identity!!! i thought it was well done and very clever. it's kind of a horror film, but it's more of a psychological thriller. i love psychological thrillers!!!



anyone else like Identity?

I don't think Identity counts as horror.

Why has no one mentioned Evil Dead?

Only two movies ever realyl scarred me, one was Stephen King's It, I'm sure it's really lame now but I saw it when I was five or something . The other one, Willly Wonka And The Chocolate Factory. I'm terrified of Oompa Loompas.

Did anyone catch The Eye? Like Ring, a Japanese horror movie soon to be remade in the US. It got limited release here a few months ago. I liked it. Or how about Audition? Another great Japanese movie by Takeshi Miike.

edit- I forgot Night Of The Living Dead and all those other George Romero movies.

Also, I hated The Blair Witch Project.

i loved the evil dead 1 and 2 and army of darkness
theyre awesome haha

I kinda liked children of the corn movies not many horror movies are that great anymore not scary

Downright scariest frelling movie I have ever seen: Event Horizon. Watched it. Wasn't ready for a horror. Scared the shit out of me.




... I'll never watch Jurassic Park the same way again :)

Alien. No question. That movie messed me up when I first saw it.

I don't tend to watch scary movies... because, well they scare me. I really like Sixth Sense though. I have managed to see it a few times even though it is scary.

the book was better, but 'sphere' just scares the crap out of me

i've studied the evil dead series in depth and i have to say that they pwn all. that's my expert opinion. i have a hard time deciding whether i like the first of second one best, tho. cenematically, i like 1. but it's hard to beat the hand bit + the chainsaw...

also, has anyone seen brainscan? edward furlong, 6-8 yrs ago i guess. that movie had a pretty good soundtrack. i really liked it.


and about the blair witch project...i know a lot of ppl hate this movie, but from the stand point of an amateur filmmaker, i hafta say that blair witch is a thing of beauty.
This film was in the Guinness Book Of World Records for Top Budget:Box Office Ratio" (for a mainstream feature film). The film cost $22,000 to make and made back $240.5 million, a ratio of $1 spent for every $10,931 made.

The Blair Witch Project was a good one.

Evil Dead does pwn all. Defianetly the greatest horror movies. I even got a shirt, hehe...

http://myimgs.com/data/possessedsqwirl/172937.php
Look familiar?


Did I mention, I love Dev?

That shirt is awesome.

Evil Dead kicks ass. I think my favorite is Army of Darkness... though I'm not quite certain.

I :heart: Army of Darkness. Can't believe I left that out of my short list of favorites.

The Ring is the best horror movie I think I have ever had the pleasure of watching. It was terrifying! I'm sure people who saw it at home first won't agree with me. I liked it best because the story was so deep. It wasn't just about a tape that kills you in seven days. It was much more than that. My favorite slasher movie is either Urban Legend or I Know What You Did Last Summer. I was never into those 80s movies that had gore with a side or horror i.e. Friday the 13th, Freddy Movies, ect. Cube was also a really good movie. Oh, and the movie that Evanescence took those clips from in some of their earlier songs. Damn, I can't remember the name of it. I must remember! :x

Evil dead is teh kewlest.

I have no idea what "pwn" means, forgive me, I am trying to be cool. And failing...

Anyhoo - scary movies. Has anyone seen a film called "The Premature burial" starring Ray Milland? It was made in 19mindyoueownbusiness and was (rather predictably) about a guy who was buried alive. It was also the first real horro film I ever saw...

I featured these two gravediggers who lept whistling "Cockles and mussels" all the time... I didn't sleep for weeks. Seriously, it scared the living crap out of me... ( I was only about 7 or 8 when I saw it... to this day I think that my parents letting me watch it was tantamount to child abuse)

Years later, I was in a music class in high school and the teacher said we were going to sing "Cockles and Mussels". I tried... but the memories came flooding back...

"In Dublins fair city, where girls are so pretty
I first laid my eyes on sweet Molly Malone..."

I swear to fucking GOD I ran from the class in terror.

I am sooooooo weak.... :?

The Ring is the best horror movie I think I have ever had the pleasure of watching. It was terrifying!

Really? You thought it was terrifying? I dunno, that movie just did nothing for me personally. It had all this hype about it like it was the best thing since the invention of toilet paper, and I was really let down when I finally saw it. I was all excited to finally be getting a chance to see it too :( I realize I'm definitely in the minority here about my opinion of The Ring, so I shall shut up now :)

Btw, I don't mean this as a crack against you in any way. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

It had all this hype about it like it was the best thing since the invention of toilet paper

Overrated, in my humble.

I mean... what else are Jack Russell puppies for?? ;)

I have no idea what "pwn" means, forgive me, I am trying to be cool. And failing...


"pwn" is a derivitive of "own," which in the implied context means to dominate as if in competition.

ex. let's say that you and i are playing chess. and i lose. badly. i could say that you "pwned" me.

this may vary from person to person, but when i use this word in conversation (yes, i'm that much of a dork), i would pronounce it pone.

Oh, Jumping Johnny Jesus... people have actually thought about this enough for it to have a definition.. Not only that, but a definition that has made a virtue out of being unable to spell a very basic word... (my previous mis-spellings this evening do not count, I am exceptionally drunk. Again. ;) )

And also, a definition that takes no account of how utterly SHITE I am at chess... ;)

no, it took into account how utterly SHITE i am at chess

YAY! Let's be shite together!! Let's call them "Horsies" and "Prawns" and "Castles" and watch all the chess purists have conniptions...

YAY! Let's be shite together!! Let's call them "Horsies" and "Prawns" and "Castles" and watch all the chess purists have conniptions...

i vote instead of pawns, we call them pwns

Fair enough... Let's just miss out all of the vowels...

pwns, knghts, bshps, quns (how the FUCK do you pronounce that??) kngs and rks/cstls

Actually, you can say that quite easily if you just clench your teeth when speaking.. try it..

Go on...

I have WAY too much time on my hands...

To get things back on topic, greatest horror movie of all time - THE THING. I hope everyone here has seen it, John carpenter at his absolute best. Brilliant directing, amazing story and fantastic acting. But for the record it only just pips the evil dead movies for the top spot because they to kick ass.

Really? You thought it was terrifying? I dunno, that movie just did nothing for me personally. It had all this hype about it like it was the best thing since the invention of toilet paper

I think you're overrating toilet paper a bit. I didn't think that highly of The Ring either. I liked it, but I'm not calling it the best horror movie ever. I'm sure it's crap compared to the original(s) from Japan and Korea, which I'm afraid I've yet to see.

Twas just an example. I could have said since the invention of the automobile, or the easy bake oven. Point was it just didn't live up to the hype. I didn't find it the least bit scary. I was more confused by it than anything else ;)

i liked house of 1000 corpses. i heard there is going to be another one in april.

HOTC was possibly one of the most screwed up cinematic undertakings in history. Props to Rob Zombie. Great movie.

I personally like Final Destination and FD 2. However, they center almost solely around people making violent and untimely . . . er, exits. I don't know that this storyline constitutes "horror," per se.

when i was younger , like 6, i was terrified of that movie 'dark crystal' - i think that was the name...but my teacher made me watch it in class, i had nightmares about those turkey looking things for months. but the shining, poltergeist,and other movies involving ghosts scare me

I've seen hellraiser and candyman and all that and havent found them that scary so does anyone have any suggestions of REALLY scary films?
:twisted:

Damn you lie.
You were scared shit when we watched candyman at yours. You nicola and abs were hiding under the duvet and I just sat there watching it.

Jeepers Creepers was pretty good, though i dont know of any movies that REALLy scare me. Ive been to desensitised (sp?) by the world around me to give a thought to the scariness

Although saying that Ben's zombie movie sounds like it could be pretty scary.... if he ever decides the world is ready for it

Ally, i was screaming so hard because Ab's hand was on my leg and she was squeezing it pretty damn hard, it had nothing whatsoever to do with that freaky, deformed woman with those freak ass eyes, okay, so there was ONE scary part. The woman in the film was trying to hard to show off her clevage and look sexy to be a convincing victim and besides that was candyman 4....contrary to the tone of voice i used above in reality, i love you in a non sexual way.

Mine is rather old but it still cared the poopies right out of me although the book is much scarier. Rosemary's Baby. The transformation Mia Farrow makes in it is rather startling, Of course if I would have had to eat raw chicken and meat while I was preggers I don't think I would've been glowing either, :D
Carrying the spawn of Satan sure must've been tough on her :P
The whole plot to this movie just scared me.
I had never seen it until a few months ago, but I must say it registered in my mind similar as the Omen movies and those scared me too. Just the subject matter. Movies about the Devil and satanism have always frightened me. :rolleyes: .
The first time I saw the Exorcist I had nightmares for a week straight! Prince of Darkness, too.
Signs straight made me scream when the alien was in the living room. My kids all thought I was stupid cuz they weren't scared at all. All the Alien movies had me shaking for a while after.
The Nightmare on Elm street movies 1-3 scared me pretty good too.
I have to be pretty careful what horror flicks I watch. I have a very over-active imagination. They give me horrible nightmares that last for weeks on end. :x

Yea, The Ring, did nothing to really scare me. It's the Japanese version that pwns all. It's originally a Japanese book with became a Japanese movie, and then the Americans ran out of ideas for movies and created The Ring. Ringu is wayyyy better, and in my opinion, scarier.

Downright scariest frelling movie I have ever seen: Event Horizon. Watched it. Wasn't ready for a horror. Scared the shit out of me.




... I'll never watch Jurassic Park the same way again :)

Oh yeah, Event Horizon is definitely the scariest movie I've ever seen. In fact, there was one part where I actually cried I was so scared. Not like blubbering or anything like that, but a few tears leaked out.

I really love The Ring. It wasn't scary in the least bit but it was really creepy and I liked the plot. I kind of prefer the american version to the japanese, though, and the book really reminded me of something Michael Crichton would come up with minus technobabble.

Signs freaked the crap out of me and I love the movie to pieces. When they were in the house... :shock: I really like the kind of horror that leaves things to your imagination. It freaks me out way more than the in your face boring slasher movie.

the book was better, but 'sphere' just scares the crap out of me

:D Sphere was such an awesome book. I read it when I was nine or so, so I don't remember all that much of it but I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I need to buy it again and reread.

STRANGELAND! I know its not really horror, but i heart that movie! *drools at hotness* :twisted:

Yes exactly. That's what I loved about Signs. The director basically made parts like that get into your head so to speak and made ya freak yourself out with your own imagination. Now that's cool ;) He's also really good at using sound to freak you out. Like the aliens running around on the roof of the house, or them rummaging through the upstairs of the house when they get in, glass breaking and so on...Or when they started hearing all those weird noises on that baby monitor. That was cool :)

Well, I do agree that the Evil Dead movies pwn all. :D

As does The Thing.

The only horror movie I've seen that got a pretty good rise out of me was probably Event Horizon, mostly because I wasnt expecting a horror movie when I went a nd saw at the theaters, neither was my sister and she still hates me for it. Especially the string up scene,which was really cool.

I recently saw Dead Alive (well recently as in, about two months ago) and GOOD FREAKIN' GOD, I have NEVER seen a movie with this much blood. It was a severly fuc*ed up film. Not saying it was bad, I kinda liked it. It just had an ass ton of blood (ie. Man walks into crowd of undead with lawnmower blades exposed and by the end of it he can barely keep his balance because it's so slippery:D ). If you can find it, I recommend it, I saw it on IFC, so it may come on again. Best part of the movie: Priest going after zombies, or, as he put it, "I kick ass for the lord!".

Edit: Forgot to add that I've seen some pretty funny reactinos to the spider walk sequence from the re-release of The Exorcist. My friend was watching it and when it came on, see screamed and jump out of her seat, much hilarity. :D

Barney the movie

I'm going to have to say that my favorite horror movie, that is actually really scary is The Exorcist. I also really enjoy Night of the Living Dead.

As for others I really enjoy Evil Dead 1&2. I haven't seen Army of Darkness yet.

I was kidding about the toilet paper nightcrawl3r. :D

Did anyone but those two guys that liked it see House Of 1000 Corpses? Cause I hope I'm not the only one that didn't like it. I was really looking forward to it, Rob Zombie was supposed to save horror and raise the bar and so forth, and then all the reviews were either horrible or so-so, so I was expecting hopefully a mildly enjoyable movie. I didn't get. It just made me angry since I had hoped it would be good. Maybe if I expected crap when I saw it.

Maybe if I expected crap when I saw it.i hated the movie. i thought it was horrible!!!! i wasnt expecting much from it, and i got nothing from it. stupid stupid stupid.

House of a thousand corpses pwn all. Cant wait for the sequel.

I also liked 28 days later alot.

And of course all the Freddy , Jason and Michael Myers movies..

I love horror movies. I REALLY liked Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

i have to agree on the blair witch project thing...many people criticize it to death, but i liked it. i thought heather was cool and the dudes were just funny. the whole rustin parr thing really scared me. :(
i also like typical teen horror movies like I know what you did last summer and Scream....they're pretty bad, but there's something that just makes them a lot of fun to watch with some friends during the middle of the night.

So far, (and I'm a bit naiive to zombie movies in this category,) my favorites have been Final Destination 1, The Ring (saw american version only, not japanese), What Lies Beneath, and Poultergeist. And if Butterfly Effect counts, that too.

I Luv Anything To Do With The Blair Witch!!!!!!

The Shining takes the cake. I also like, not sure if this classifies as Horror as much as a thriller, but Freeway. Keifer Sutherland, Reese Witherspoon (I think it was her) and Kirstie Alley. It was about a freeway serial killer.

MtMR

I find it hard to find a good horror film that is actually scarey most all the old ones are terrible at scarying people.. and the new ones are getting so old and have the same thing in all.. lol.. I have rented so many horror films in the past few months and i need to find a real good scarey one!!!! :confused:

I don't know about today, but back then, when I was eight or nine, I would say the scariest movie I ever saw was Exorcist. That movie gave me nightmares for months! And, if you believe in possession; like I did back then, It scares me even more cause I thought it could happen in real life! My sister knew this (she's older then me), well, she played this one prank on me that scared the living hell out of me!! She'd turn off all the lights and imitate the girl's voice in Exorcist;with my adolencence mind, I was extremely golible. Well.. Lets just say she scared me so much that I was hiding in my room's closet with a loaded nerf gun in one hand and a plastic bat in the other.

It would have to be between Night of The Living Dead or Pet Sematery :p :p :D

Currently "The Ring" is the scariest and best horror movie ever imho. I also really love "Signs" and "the Sixth Sense" b/c M. Knight S--(won't bother trying to spell it) kicks ass. I loved "Dawn of the Dead" though it was more funny than scary to me. Umm...as for movies from my childhood that scared the bejesus out of me "The Gate" and "Poltergeist" prolly take the cake overall.

"Halloween".

Hands down.

The scariest movie that I have ever seen is Flatliners. It was directed by Joel Schumacher and it's about some medical students who stop their hearts for fun. They have near-death experiences, but things they see from the past during them, like the evil things, begin to cross the line between death and life and attack them in real life. I was terrified while watching this movie. I'd reccomend it to anyone.

When I was younger I used to think that Village of the Damned was the scariest thing in existence.
I saw it again a little while ago and I'm not sure why it used to terrify me to death. But the kids are still freaky as hell.

i love Identity!!! i thought it was well done and very clever. it's kind of a horror film, but it's more of a psychological thriller. i love psychological thrillers!!!



anyone else like Identity?

YEAH! i loved identity but it didnt really scare me, i just loved the twist!
my favorite scary movie would have to b soul survivors but its not really that scary, its pretty creepy though...very good!
i loved the halloweens and the friday the 13's were ok. i loved scream 1 and 3, 2 sucked! and the i know what u did last summers r pretty good too.

I would say ET, but that isn't a horror movie(he freaked me out so much) so Im gonna say The Faculty. I think I saw it when i was 9 or 10, with my sisters and some friends, and when we are all together with those friends we usually talk about that movie.

I really like House on Haunted Hill. Its not particularly scary, but the settings and effects are truly brilliant. Funny too.

Yea, The Ring, did nothing to really scare me. It's the Japanese version that pwns all. It's originally a Japanese book with became a Japanese movie, and then the Americans ran out of ideas for movies and created The Ring. Ringu is wayyyy better, and in my opinion, scarier.


Ringu ,IMO, sucked. To me it looked EXTREMELY low-budget. I bought it at Circuit City and it dissapointed me severely. Ringu wasn't that scary; They had no special effects other than the girl coming out of the TV.

My favorite thriller:

The Others
The Ring
Thir13een Ghosts

the rings not bad, although i havent seen the original, so i cant really compare :confused:

the rings not bad, although i havent seen the original, so i cant really compare :confused:
The ring is brilliant, I haven't seen Ringu either btw.

im gonna see ringu, ive heard a lot of good things about it but a lot of ppl also said it sucked...

When I was younger I used to think that Village of the Damned was the scariest thing in existence.
I saw it again a little while ago and I'm not sure why it used to terrify me to death. But the kids are still freaky as hell.

I still to this day love that movie. lol

I loved Labrynth, and Dark Crystal is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Beetlejuice is a good one, I like alot of the New Age stuff; Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), Wrong Turn, Cabin Fever, Thirteen Ghosts (It could have been better though.) and since I'm obsessed with Rob Zombie, House of 100 corpses. It's not scary but I just love the movie. Signs and Blair Witch were kind of sci-fi but by far they were creepy.

The ones I hated were Sixth Sense and The Ring, Sorry, but that movie totally sucked I mean what's scary about some chick coming from a t.v.? Like that's ever going to happen.

But then again what are the odds of the dead rising and walking the earth devouring human flesh (Dawn of the Dead). Very unlikely, but still a terrifying thought.

I'd say my top favourite horror film is Resident Evil. Seriously. I know most people think it sucked, and sure it wasn't scary, but it was still 'a good film' as far as I care. The acting wasn't half as bad as people said it was, the script wasn't half as bad as people said it was, it had alot more to do with the games then the Resi fanboys admit to, and the effects weren't half bad either. In all honesty it's a seriously horror/action good film. If you want a really disturbingly creepy horror film, go watch Silence Of The Lambs. If you want to see a horror film with amazing acting, an amazing script and generally good production values, then watch The Shining. But as far as I care, Resident Evil is the best for just slapping in ya DVD player, sitting back and having a nice cup of tea with. Thus, Resident Evil is my fav.

I like the Alien series and the Poltergeist series (especially the second). But the scariest movie for me was Very Bad Things, even though I don't know if that counts as 'horror'. That scene where the security guard bled to death got to me more than anything I've seen. It's not so much scary as horrifying, if that makes sense.

I liked Resident Evil too :)

OOoooo I love scary movies...have since I was a kid. Thats prolly why my Mom's friends called me the "high preistest" when I was lil... **Evil look** hehe anyways ok...the only movie that scares the living SHITE outta me...is The Exorcist. I just think that movie is ugly and disturbing and it bugs me to no end, I can't watch it. "IT" scares me too, that whole clown thing...ugh! Pet Cemetary is pretty good...even though its sorta sad since I love aminals (animals ;) ) aaaannnddd of course Friday the 13th, Prom Night, and all the Halloweens are classics ;) One I thought sucked was "13 ghosts" or something like that...wasn't scary at all. And the only scary movie I about cried in from bein scared was the remake of Chainsaw Masacre...but that was basically because I was one of the stupid ppl that wasn't sure if it was real or not. Any movies where things like it could actually happen freak me out.

Love,
Shelby

Thats a though choice, but I'd probably have to say Thirteen Ghosts or Resident Evil (cant wait for #2). :D

*GASP!* Thirteen Ghosts kicks so much ass. ;)

The remakes of House on Haunted Hill and Thirteen Ghosts ae some of the worst remakes I've seen. Sad because both had a great deal of potential, though the ghosts in Thirteen Ghosts were pretty bad ass. Both endings completely ruined everything, which made the ending to Gothika all the more predictable and disappointing (it was from the same prod. company).

Jason''s Ladder while more a psychological horror/ drama is a great movie IMO.

I am looking forward to The Village from M. Night Shyamalan. The trailer paints a very intriguing picture.

As I've stated elsewhere, I think the only movie thats gotten a rise out of me was maybe Event Horizon, mostly because I wast expecting a horror movie. :)

My favourite scary movie would have to be texas chainsaw massacre, it actually is not scary at all, but i love the gruesome stuff, but i guess my favourite scary scary movie would be (please dont laugh) but it would have to be SIGNS, i absolutley hate alien movies, they scare the shit outa me, i dont know why. :p

HAHAHA the greatest B movie horror film... THE WILLIES!!!!!!! awesome awesome awesome

The remakes of House on Haunted Hill and Thirteen Ghosts ae some of the worst remakes I've seen.
:eek: House on Haunted Hill is brilliant, some of the stuff in that was just plain twisted.

Leprechaun 1... because they just scare me! :eek:

the only movie that scares the living SHITE outta me...is The Exorcist. I just think that movie is ugly and disturbing and it bugs me to no end, I can't watch it. "IT" scares me too, that whole clown thing...ugh!
Oh I agree! I saw The Exorcist when I was really little(and the second one which was just dumb). I can't pick a fave though because I have seen way too many! I saw the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" in theatre and it made me jump a couple times lol. But it wasn't that scary. All the "Scream" movies are ok.. the "Halloween" movies are good too. Blair Witch was cheesy but thats what made it good from my point of view. I loved the ending to that movie. All the "Leprachaun" movies are kinda funny in a scary way. I didn't really like "The Ring" but maybe thats just because I was at a b-day party when I watched it so I didn't get the whole effect. Aww screw it... I can't pick:p I just love horror movies all around:) Love, Stacey

i saw "wrong turn" a few weeks ago..it wasnt really that scary but more gross and freaky...it was really good
the worst movie ever is the exorcist...its just wrong...

Really? You thought it was terrifying? I dunno, that movie just did nothing for me personally. It had all this hype about it like it was the best thing since the invention of toilet paper, and I was really let down when I finally saw it. I was all excited to finally be getting a chance to see it too :( I realize I'm definitely in the minority here about my opinion of The Ring, so I shall shut up now :)

Btw, I don't mean this as a crack against you in any way. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Agree with you!!!! I liked The Ring, parts were scary...but def. not terrifing! A good enough story nevertheless. Personally i thought it was an alright film...not fantastic, i dont have a fav scary movie!!!!
Is it just me or was The Exorcist v. boring?!

yeah, i didnt like the exorcist at all, i thought it was way overrated and the remake even worse.

There was an exorcist remake?

There was a Re-release with additional footage. I personally liked it, wasnt very scary, but still a good movie. :)

Yeah, never thought it was scary, even when I was little. More funny to me then anything. Although the way that bitch goes down the stairs in the re-release is very odd...

'Tis hard to find a good horror film these days. For me, probably a toss up between The Ring and The Exorcist.

Also, while it's not a horror film, per se, I thought there were some fantastic touches in Jacob's Ladder. As I've previously mentioned, the "nightmare hospital" sequence is the most frightening thing I've seen on film. Ever. Also, Adrian Lynne was intimately involved in creating the look of the demons and their tortured "whipping" motions. Since he usually sticks to sexual thrillers, I really must give Lynne his due for stretching himself out in this film.

My favourite horror movie is probably A Nightmare on Elm St. Even though most of the sequels were shit, I still love the first one. Another one is The Ring. Scary as all hell that movie is... :eek:

My favourite horror movie is Crossroads.
Oh, you mean the other kind of horror! Then... Maybe The Ring and Darkness. And I like the Final Destination's ones.

Fav scary movie is Stephen Kings "IT".

Now, this isn't that bad if you watch it now, but for me it represents everything a scary movie should be. I saw "It" when I was 7, and to this day I can still vividly remember the entire plot. A movie whos images stays in your mind for 10 years is a GOOD movie.

Or maybe thats just post-traumatic stress disorder ;)

I had nightmares about that damn clown for years!

There was an exorcist remake?

was there not a sequel as well? :confused:

I don't get too scared by horror movies but if I had to pick one that really made me jump then... IT , the exorcist, and the ring. :eek:

I had nightmares about that damn clown for years!The opening scene was stuck in my head for years. There was just something so creepy about the tricycles wheels spinning near the clothesline. That and the drainpipe thing **shudder** :eek:

That and the scene in The Ring where she's crawling out of the TV. I'm 'blessed' with a very image based memory, and for some reason every time i need to go to the bathroom that image will flash in my head. Freaks me out really quickly :)

I've never actually seen IT. I read part of the book and it scared the crap outta me, so I never wanted to see the movie. That, and also because clowns freak me out! :eek:

Oh, you mean the other kind of horror! Then... Maybe The Ring and Darkness. And I like the Final Destination's ones.

I like the Ring but I thought Darkness Falls knocked the shit out of it!!! :p

Silence Of The Lambs, now THAT movie was scary.. even though i'm not 100% sure if it would be classified as "horror".

lol....agree with you...britney, in a movie is just wrong!!!!!!!!
I like the Ring but I thought Darkness Falls knocked the shit out of it!!! :p

MAN!!! YEAHHHHH!!!!! CROSSROAD!!!! damn i am sorry but it really scares me!!! :( ahhahaa


I also like "THE RING" and "SIGNS"... also i just watched today GOTHIKA... it's a really really good one!!! :rolleyes: scary but good!

My favorite horror movie is Gothika. I liked it because usually in scary movies, they play that music that builds up to the scary part, so you know when to cover your eyes and stuff. In Gothika, there is no music. It's just plain silence, so you cover your eyes, but you don't hear anything, so you peek and then out of no where something jumps out or something. I got scared after seeing that movie.

i get scared easily, especially in movies, so these movies might not be scary to some of u but they were to me

The Ring
Halloween Ressurrection
<stupidly scary> Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 (i screamed in the cinema when i saw no 2) *embarrassed face*
The Shining
Freddy vs Jason (kinda funny)

thats all i can think of right now

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU! That movie is excellent! :D I love the part when halley is inside the cell and the ghost girl is outside and halley b. is watching the door and saying "if you are rachel, help me and open the door" and like 10 seconds after that... she opens the door! :eek: :D it was a great part! :cool:

I had nightmares about that damn clown for years!


hmm Anyone ever seen Killer Clowns from Outer Space? It's old but scared the shit out of me when I was little. So I bought the DVD a few days ago to watch and laugh at it. :rolleyes:

oh my f*ing god! that movie scarred me for life!! I HATE clowns now :(
"little peopel" scare me too. here's why: i saw this older movie once when i was like 7, it was on TV, it had these wierd folk running around giving maidens to cone-headed little people who would chain them up & feed them to a dragon or something. for some reason that same movie made me scared of my heater vents in my mom's house too....
i saw "They" the other day & now i have to sleep with the lights on again. the alien things reminded me of evil leprachauns somehow......
how retarded am i? :rolleyes: i'm 22 & scared shitless of scary movies!! :( :D

i can't believe i still haven't seen Gothika *gasps at self* none of my friends will come see it with me!!!
I'm making them go see "The Day After Tomorrow" though...they have no choice in the matter! :p

My all time favorite horror movie is A Nightmare on Elm Street Pt.3 (Dream Warriors). The first movie I remember seeing was the first one, and I loved it, and I was only like 4 yrs old, lol. After that, I had to see every Freddy movie when it came out and I love them all, but my fave would be Pt.3 and (as you can tell from my av) my favorite scene is when he pops out the top of the tv and the line "Welcome to Prime-Time bitch!" is just classic, lol. Yup, I'm probably what you could call the "resident Freddy expert" hahaha :D Ok, I'll shut up now, lol. :)
~Gloria~

i find horror movie funny as hell.. it is funny seeing my girl squrem to a fake stream of blood...:)

nightmare on elm street. i forgot if its the first or second one. :\

and i'm dying to see gothika. :(

and i'm dying to see gothika. :(
dude you gota see that movie... the dvd kicks ass... i never thought i would like a movie like that... o well

dude you gota see that movie... the dvd kicks ass... i never thought i would like a movie like that... o well

Guess I may be in the minority with this movie, It did have a cool tone to it, but it was a little to predictable to me. I dunno, maybe I'm soured a bit with the production company that made it.

i cant wait for Gothika to come out either...none of my friends wanna go tho so i will have to go by myself...lol :(...my friends reckon i look like the girl off "the ring" when i put my hair infront of my face...it scares the shit out of them...hehe..i love scaring people :p..;)

I was disappointed when I saw Gothika... Don't know why, but I guess I expected more from it...

i thought it was your avrage horror/ phycalogical thriller.. kinda boring if you as me...

It's old but scared the shit out of me when I was little.

Another movie, not really horror, That scared me when I was little was that movie "Legend". It has Tom Cruise in it, but I still hate the movie. That freaky elf dude... Anyone seen it?

My favorite is Night of the living dead. Wow that's really scary!!!

Three of my favourite horror flicks are modern classics... The Exorcist, Alien and The Thing. 28 Days Later and Event Horizon weren't bad either.

I have yet to watch a film that scares me, but I love a well-made horror movie. :)

My favorite horror movie is House Of 1000 Corpses By Rob Zombie!!!

old skool:
The Exorcist
Last House on the Left
Dawn of the Dead
The Fog
Hellraiser



*praises*

Awesome choices!

I'm not too keen of horror flicks, but The Ring scared the hell outta me. It haunted me. It brought me nightmares!

*Tight and Tender, Sophomore Sorority, Bald and Beautiful...
WAIT...DAMN! SORRY! IT'S *HORROR* FILMS....(oops)

Definitely The Exorcist...still gives me the heebies to this day.
Wrong Turn with Eliza Dushku was pretty freaky too, with the psycho inbreeds!

Some of my favourite's are The Evil Dead trilogy (for comedy value), Alien, The Exorcist (although it makes me laugh now), Ring (Japanese version), Hellraiser, House Of 1000 Corpses and Poltergeist which I watched when I was far to young and believed every second of it to be real

The film which I consider to be the scariest is Event Horizon. I couldn't get the images out of my mind for ages. The acting is top quality, the effects are great .... and a rarity in the horror genre ... this film gives you something to think about.

The most disappointing horror film I've seen is The Last House On The Left. Mainly because it was banned in the UK up until a couple of years ago and and I had waited a long time to see it.... I just thought it was wrong ... I know the whole point of the film it to leave the viewer shocked.... but I at least want to be entertained at the same time.

Have you ever watch movie called "Ju on". That's really scary too.

Just found out about this trailer.

It's for a new movie called Saw, it premiered this year at Cannes and is set for a fall release. Looks to be really intriquing:

28 Days Later
Dawn of the Dead
Night of the Living Dead (Not the original)

My mom said the original is scarier. I don't think I can watch it. I'll piss in my pants. lol.

Um..there's more..but I'm going blank. :D

Does WIllard count as horror? Its not really...SCARY, but i still love that movie.


Resident Evil
28 Days Later
Gothika
Does Freddy Vs Jason count? I saw that more as a comedy/action...

Oh, and im repping you, DeathlessVampire, but when I click the rep button, my browser freezes, so when its done, ill rep you for liking resident evil and 28 days later =D So, consider this...an IOU rep! =)

Gothika
Resident Evil
Friday the Thirteenth Series
Nightmare on Elm Street Series
The Ring <3

Evil Dead and I liked wrong turn, what can I say I love Eliza dushku :)...not alot of horror movies, I tend to like, they always the same,
but its fun to have a scare once in a while

LOL! Shweeeeettt! Thanks! Those movies rawk! \m/(*_*)\m/

As stupid as it sounds, House On Haunted Hill actually scared me a little, but I don't really like it all that much. My favorite scary movie... hmm... I'm gonna have to say it's a tie between A Clockwork Orange and Cradle Of Fear- a low budget film starring Cradle Of Filth. :D

hmm.. thats hard! there are way too many! i love the chucky movies tho! they rock!! cant wait for the new one!! :D

hmm... I'm gonna have to say it's a tie between A Clockwork Orange and Cradle Of Fear- a low budget film starring Cradle Of Filth. :D

I picked up a copy of Cradle of Fear a while back. Indeed, very low budget. Still, wasnt all that great, but not all that bad either. :)

Oooh! I just remembered.

CHILDREN OF THE CORN AND PET CEMETARY!!!!

Beat that!!!! LOL! :D

My movies! <3

pet semetary 2 is way better!! ;) they better not screw up the remake they're doing of the first one!!

Psycho!

Anthony Perkins is just so creepy! But it's Hitchcock that makes him that way!

13 Ghosts scared me abit. I don't find alot of horror movies scare me but with this one I had a pillow in front of my face lol :)

Oh yeah, Event Horizon is definitely the scariest movie I've ever seen. In fact, there was one part where I actually cried I was so scared. Not like blubbering or anything like that, but a few tears leaked out.


I agree that movie REALLY creeped me out also...I really don't watch that much horror flicks since i'm kinda squeamish LOL :D But i DID watch Ginger Snaps last weekend....It was rather bloody but i really like the relationship between the two sisters and how Ginger's transformation changes all that .So yes i like it....I havent seen the sequel however...

I loveeeeddd The Ring... that scared the shit outta me! I liked um..Identity and Darkness Falls! Scurrry

i've started watching horror movies when i was a child.... LOL:) I just love them:) Though i still love them and i haven't become creepy or something LOL:) My favorites are 13 Ghosts, Scream (don't know how it spells in English, because i watch movies in my language.....), Resident Evil, Alien (this one spelling don't know too) and etc...

The whole Scream Trilogy was classic. I love how the whole story was woven through out the movies and all the classic "rules" of horror movies that it followed.

I loved the Scream trilogy! The Ring and Signs were also really good. I loved the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre too. hmmm Halloween has always been a good one. It doesn't scare me anymore but the series is still fun to watch.

I LOVED the Child's Play series too. I used to think they were so awesome. Hell I still do haha.

Darkness Falls wasn't very scary to me...at all. The acting was pretty bad too. That's just my opinion though.

the only one that's gotten close to scaring me was the blair witch project... horror genius with that movie :)

I absolutely Love horror movies, and anything pycholigical as well!! Some of my favorates are, Halloween, Nightmare On Elm Street, Friday The 13th, There are alot of others that just came out, but I can't remeber the names of them!

I love the mythology of the Hellraiser series, Cenobites rock!!!

Event Horizon
The Descent
13 Ghosts
Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs

I love the mythology of the Hellraiser series, Cenobites rock!!!

Agreed.

I'd like to see other Barker books on the screen.

I think Imagica or Weaveworld would be fantastic to watch now that the technology could duplicate his fantastic ideas and worlds.

Anders:mrgreen:

For me has to be:

The Shining(being a Kubrick fan) and maybe...SAW(the number 1)

I'de like to see, more of Stphen King made into horror
movies.
I have always admired his work, and I have actaully read a few of his books
surprisingly enough. ;)

My next movie I want to check out in theaters, is Mirrors.
I want to see how freaky it really is, compared to the previews
I watch on tv right now. :mrgreen:

If you are talking just pure HORROR my favorite is The Ring (The American version)

If you are talking GORE I love all the SAW movies, I even love the ones that haven't come out yet LoL.

I love Stephen King too, Pet Sematary is one of my favorite movies, although it's horror I don't really see it that way, I see it as a kick back and relax kind of movie LoL I know I'm weird.

Although, alot of the ones from long ago, I actually like the remade
ones alot better.

I can definitely say, I put Mirrors on my top list now!
As well as, Prom Night...that guys face is just plain creepy
IMO.

:eek::eek:

Prom Night? Really? Are you talking about the recent one or the original?

The remake sucked ass, seriously it would have been way better if it was R instead PG-13, I mean the one part where the boyfriend was laying in the bed and his throat had been slit and there was NO BLOOD....um you can't slit someone's throat and leave just a tiny scratch and no blood! That pissed me off, among other things.

:D

Does anyone like Stephen King's IT? OMG I LOVE That movie, I'm going to watch it tonight I love it so much, and the book rocks, but that's for another thread.

~Monica

The Ring is my favorite I guess. The way the girl moves is what gets me.

Paranormal stuff is what freaks me out. Cause ya know I have a chance against a psycho with a knife, but if you can't see what's after you you're pretty much screwed.

The thing about The Ring was that it was universal. I mean in a way that it could happen to you too. Also the supernatural aspect of it. You're right Kalin, I'd rather face off against Michael Myers or Jason Vorhees than Samara (The girl in the Ring) any day of the week. LoL!

~Monica

The Hills Have Eyes, Saw I & II and can't forget about The Exorcist:eek:
