I'm a big time horror fan too...I can't pick one favorite,I can just list a whole bunch of them like you did Night of the Living Dead deserves special mention because of how groundbreaking it was,but Dawn was the best of the Romero Dead series. The Exorcist is another one that is great...Its just one of those movies where just the premise sends chills up my spine. Serpent and the Rainbow is one that should be mentioned with Jacob's ladder as just truy disturbing and unnerving to watch. The Thing is absolutely awesome.How can you not like a movie that highlights the unquenchable killing thirst of A.Wilford Brimley Evil Dead is a great horror movie that gets overshadowed by the comedy of Army of Darkness. Bubba Ho-Tep is one I have to include because the plot and acting is just too awesome.If you've never heard of it,take a lookhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0281686/ Dracula with Lugosi and Psycho with Perkins are two that must have been so scary to see when they were in theaters.Brilliant horror movies. 3 that I wouldn't necessarily call horror but are awesome and considered horror by the majority: American Psycho; Silence of the Lambs; Jaws Thats just the tip of the iceberg...Horror movies are absolutely great BTW smizzy,if you're a big zombie fan,I would check out the Zombie Survival Guide...Great book,completely insane.

Smizzy Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 The Thing was awesome. Silence of the Lambs I wasn't sure where to put them either but great flick too. Demon Night (Tales from the Crypt) I liked too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutout Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Shadow of the Vampire,An American Werewolf in London,and the Early Friday the 13ths are 3 more movies that I really enjoyed. I don't know if they do it anymore,but I remember as a kid whenever a Friday the 13th would occur,one or several channels did the Friday the 13th marathon and played 6 or so of the movies throughout the day.

Thor99 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Bubba Ho-Tep One of my favorite movies. You have to check out the commentary tracks on the DVD. One of them is Bruce as the King. Awesome. Children of the Corn- How creepy was that little kid? Nosferatu- One of the first, and quite possibly the best, horror flick. Alien- Definitely belongs on this list. Basketcase- Funny/Scary. I loved it. The Faculty- Underrated flick. From Dusk til Dawn- Salma stripping with a snake, gotta love it. Hellraiser- I loved pinhead. Poltergeist- Scared the hell out of me when I was a kid. Scanners- I wanted to blow up my sisters head after watching this. The Omen- Watch out for that pane of glass. Shaun of the Dead- You've got red on you. Stir of Echos- Another underrated flick. That's about all I can think of right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetFanByMarriage Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I like horror movies but ones that have more drama and suspense to them rather then scary people jumping out at you.

shutout Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 The Village was a good movie right up until the end of it. The ending was so god awful though that it ruined the other hour and a half. Sixth Sense was and will always be his best movie because now everyone is expecting some twist ending,and Shaymalan is more than willing to just throw one in regardless of quality because its what makes him his money. Never bothered to see boogeyman,and I haven't seen Saw II yet,but I was surprised by the first one when I finally watched it last month. I figured it would just be gore for the sake of gore,but its a solid thriller/horror movie. Blair Witch was a real good one until everyone with a camera spoofed it. And you can't throw out Blair Witch without mentioning Cannibal Holocaust. The Hitcher is another one that I really like. As far as paying to get scared,I haven't been scared by a movie since I was a kid. I'm not saying that to act like some tough guy,I just remember seeing stuff like Nightmare on Elm Street,Friday the 13th,and the Exorcist as a kid and having nightmares and have always considered that to be the standard for getting scared by movies. There are Horror movies though that make you feel real uneasy and nervous as you watch and you get completely sucked into the story. I dunno,guess I just watched a lot of horror movies when I was younger and grew to appreciate the genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was a bad move, it created way too many inconsistancies. There's absolutely no way it could have been kept a secret for so long. The only way that horror movies can scare you now is by going into a very calm and quiet scene and then blasting you with a huge screeching noise. Pathetic really.

Thor99 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 There is another movie, kind of like Blair Witch, called The Final Broadcast. It came out before BW, and many accused the producers of BW of stealing the idea. It is much more enjoyable than BW, IMO. How funny is it that we can't spell out Nigh****ch?

Yeah,Blair Witch ripped off a few lesser known movies...but it gets points for the way that they made it (Gave a basic outline to the 3 actors,dropped them off in the woods,and toyed with their minds for the entirety of shooting by vandalizing their campsite and other things of that nature)...I also give it credit because it was the first movie to really take internet advertising to the next level. I remember back when it came out there were several sites devoted to portraying everything as real,even that the actors had really died filming. I personally couldn't wait to see it after reading about it on the internet for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetophile Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Wow. I don't even know where to start! Are we talking horror schlock or the good stuff? I love both. The Pit and the Pendulum (Vincent Price rules) The Haunting - the 1963 one, not the cr*ppy remake (the novel by Shirley Jackson [underrated writer] that it's based on, 'The Haunting of Hill House' - is even better) The Devil's Backbone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
