Favorite horror movie?

[PaulSC]

The real classics have all been mentioned, I think.

The original Texas Chainsaw Mass-a-Cree probably *is* over-rated, but it's still one of my favourites just for sheer entertainment value, and that 'dinner with the family' scene still freaks me out pretty badly. And I know people always talk about it, but that final shot really is one of the best things ever. Someone should make a poster out of it.

I think The Thing is my all round favourite though – that one really creeped me out, grossed me out, and… well, suspensed me out, I suppose. What more do you want?

Also - Romero's Day Of The Dead. I don't think it's the most popular "of the dead" film, and its probably not all that scary, but I still enjoy the holy hell out of it. Also, visually it might just be the brightest horror film ever, which is pretty cool. And hey, he’s making a new one – how good is that?

My problem is that when I was a kid I was too much of a well behaved little bastard to be watching films I wasn't supposed to, so by the time I really started watching horror films, I was already becoming desensitised to that sort of thing. I only caught a few before the magic was gone, alas alack.

Actually, now that I think about it, a while back a friend of mine gave me a detailed description of his uncut bootleg of Cannibal Holocaust. *That* might just be the 'best' horror movie ever, based on the fact his description alone nearly made me sick. But I'm not planning to ever watch the thing, so I'll probably never know for sure.

My favorite horror movie would have to be Children of the Corn.Ã,  This movie scared the crap out of me when i first saw it, and it still does the same thing to me many years later.Ã,  There is just something about this movie that i can't put my finger on and why it scares me so much.Ã,  Too bad the sequels, in my opinion really stunk.

Whenever i'm playing the game Silent Hill, i always think about Children of the Corn. Weird, hah?

oops, i forgot Creepshow 1 & 2

He said it first. John Carpenter's The thing is an amazing movie, creepy, funny, scary, gory, you don't really need much more from a movie. Favorite part? "You've got to be f*cking kidding me...". anyone who's seen the movie should recognize that line.

I'd say Wes Craven's LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT was pretty creepy. It was too realistic...... well, at least the kidnapping part! Heh..... later on, well.  But it scared me when I was younger.

[Ozwalled]

Haven't seen Last House on the Left yet... seems so hard to find around here...

[[Cameron]]

Is Stephen King's IT a movie, it thought was a miniseries.
Favourite films i have seen are
-Original Texas chainsaw massacre.
-28 days later.

[LGM]

28 Days Later? Come on! You're kidding me, right? That movie was a joke.

Anyways.. I want to see The Hills Have Eyes and Last House on the Left.. But I can't find them anywhere...

Romero's finally making a fourth? SWEET

[[Cameron]]

The first bit were the priest bursts through door was freaky, but sadly after that it waas tame. Great director though.

[MrColossal]

28 Days Later is an awesome movie... What do you consider tame? You're telling me the ending to that movie was tame? Crazytalk

He's not a film lover, he likes explosions more than craftsmanship.

I am a film lover and i love craftsmanship over explosions, but the point of 28 days later was to scare. Unfortunatly after the first shock of seeing the zombie preist burst through the door, the later shocks decreased in their intensity. I still bought this film on dvd because I happen to like Danny Boyle. His previous work on Trainspotting was a wonderful adapation of a great novel by I. Welsh.

The Evil Dead Trilogy  - Especially number 2

On a more recent note - two cool new schlock horrors that I loved

Undead (Aus or NZ - it fricken hilarious)
Cabin Fever (some of the guys from Detroit Rock City - V. Sick)

[Pet Terry]

Favourites:
A nightmare on Elm Street... series (some parts are lame though, part 2 for example). And Freddy Krueger is my favourite movie character.
Alien 2 is good.
I liked 6th Sense.

Might be more, but I don't remember right now.

The gory ones:
Hellraiser (I have seen only the first part, icky.)
Cabin Fever (Eww...)
Braindead (lol, what a movie! Not icky actually, but so funny )

Argh, can't believe I forgot to mention the Ring (Japanese version. The remake was ok, but I prefer the original), that's one of my favorite movies, horror or otherwise, ever! Too bad its sequels were pretty meh.

[Oliver]

I really love/loved the movie Ghost Ship. And Urban Legends (all the episodes) are just fantastic!
Also, That movie...I still know what you did last summer...or The Secret of last summer...don't remember the name exactly. But I really like that one too, both episodes;)

The Grudge series is creepy, but i've only seen the sequel

I haven't seen Ringu and I laughed thru the Ring.Ã,  Ã, And The Eye was beautifully horrific.
