Favourie horror film or series?

[Kapitan_Phillips]

Be honest :p

[Dowly]

Blair Witch Project. :yep:

[Oberon]

Does Shaun of the Dead count in the '...of the Dead' series? :lol:

And where's 'The Shining'? :hmm:

"OH GOD! OH LOOK HE'S GOT AN ARM OFF!"

[Skybird]

"Alien", and "Picnic at Hanging Rock" - the latter a strange choice for a "Horror" movie maybe, but when I saw it first in the mid-80s, I was really scared - the atmosphere and the mystery that never gets solved is striking.

[sonar732]

I agree that the Alien series are really good as the suspense always has you guessing. As for me...most of the Dracula or Vampire movies do me in.

[STEED]

ALIEN, for my money, and still is a great film, out of this world. :D

The original classic from the 1960's The Haunting. This was a clever film as you see nothing, it all relied on tension and atmosphere.

[Syxx_Killer]

I'm not a big horror movie fan, but any zombie movie is a definite winner. I mean, who don't like hoardes of brain eating zombies? :lol: Anyway, my favorite horror movie would probably be Christine. Makes me want to have a red, 1958 Plymouth Fury. But if I did, though, I'd probably just sell it at Barrett-Jackson. :88)

[Kapitan_Phillips]

"They're coming to get you Barbara...oh! There's one now!"

Wasnt so cocky with his head smashed in on a gravestone was he, lol

[The Munster]

The old Frankenstein films and I'm talking real old, scratchy black and white stuff.

[kiwi_2005]

'Jacobs Ladder' Probably my favourite movie ever.

Not really that scary more a psychological twister - about a guy (young Tim Robbins) a vietnam vet who comes home, but is he really home or is he dead:hmm: Its a must see if you haven't seen it.

[Dmitry Markov]

Alien was my first horror movie experience and still is my favorite horror/ sci-fi along with 2001:Space Odyssey.

[3Jane]

Alien, Blair Witch Project.

[antikristuseke]

Hellraiser, definately hellraiser.

[Morts]

Shaun of the dead:rotfl::rotfl:

[Sailor Steve]

Tremors. Well, it's more of a '50s-style monster movie, but still...

I don't really get into horror. One of the scariest movies I've seen recently was not a horror movie at all, but a very twisted thriller: Arlington Road. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0137363/

@ kiwi_2005: I hated Jacob's Ladder. I might change my mind if I saw it again. I thought it was a very good movie, right up 'til the end. I hate having a plot hinge on them lying to me.

[Takeda Shingen]

The Postman was the most horrifying film that I have seen to date.

[Penelope_Grey]

Toy Story has got to be THE scariest notioned film I have ever seen.

[Skybird]

I forgot "Nosferatu - A symphony of horror" by Fritz Murnau from 1921, silent movie, black-and-white. Until today I think this is a masterpiece. It beats almost all vampyre movies of the modern era hands down. no, it beats them all - even Coppola's formidable adaptation of bram stoker.

since a short time it is available on DVD - in a fully restored, picture and sound improved version that took them 7 years to complete.

[jumpy]

Evil Dead 1, 2 & 3. Without a doubt.



Swallow your soul! Swallow your soul! Swallow your soul!....

Swallow this.... BANG!


Bruce Campbell was my hero lol :up:

What did you think about Shadow of the Vampire with William Dafoe?

[AVGWarhawk]

Does reading the daily headlines count as horror?

I like the first Jaws movie. After that it went down hill.

[Blacklight]

This was a TOUGH one. I will have to say that I'm tied between three choices. The ORIGINAL and FIRST movie of A Nightmare on Elm Street was the first movie that scared the crap out of me. Beyond that.. all the sequels were fluff crap that turned a truely scarey, monstorous creation into a stand up comedian with more one-liners than Arnold Shwarzneggar which is UNFORGIVABLE ! Freddy Krueger was truely scarry in that first movie.

Having said that, I will also have to say that Halloween and Halloween II were fantasically done but they didn't scare me like A Nightmare on Elm Street did.

I will also have to say that Alien, the original was pretty damn scarry as well. Very few movies built up suspense like that one did.

[Zayphod]

Didn't see it listed, but I'd recommend Poltergest.

Had to go see it when it first came out - was watching Star Trek II, The Wrath of Khan, and the screams from the next theater said "This has to be a truly scary flick." Saw it, and thus, it was scary. Unlike most other ghost movies, you never knew when something would jump out and go BOO! That's why I had to give it my best :up:

[mrbeast]

Think nobody has mentioned it yet.......The Exorcist. The film its self is pretty tame by todays standards but there is a menace about it, an atmosphere; thats the scary part.

[Zayphod]

Evil Dead 1, 2 & 3. Without a doubt.
Bruce Campbell was my hero lol :up:

"Lady, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave the store."
"Name's Ash." <cocks rifle> "Housewares." followed by piles of gunshots.
Can't beat that film.

[Skybird]

What did you think about Shadow of the Vampire with William Dafoe?
Reasonably well played by actor Dafoe, but the movie - despite it's somewhat witty idea - remains to be "bloodless", colourless, and failed to impress me. It can in no way rival the atmosphere in Murnaus's film.

"Shadow" remained almost unknown in Germany.

Better go with the original. There was a german remake of it with Isabelle Adjani and Klaus kinski, by werner Herzog I believe. some beautiful pictures, and in itself a reasonable movie, but again: it cannot match the orginal.

The movie was shot in my favourite town, Lübeck, btw. - the only place I really would love to live in.

[Stealth Hunter]

Does Shaun of the Dead count in the '...of the Dead' series? :lol:

And where's 'The Shining'? :hmm:


"OH GOD! OH LOOK HE'S GOT AN ARM OFF!"

"GET 'IM!!"

*pizza box, PS2 controllers, and a box are thrown at him*
*Ed picks up an ashtray and smashes it on his head!*

"... Uhm... I-I'm gonna go shut the front door..."

[Lagger123987]

None, because I got some type of phobia watching scary stuff.

[Torplexed]

I'll go with a recent film based on a computer game. Silent Hill. Confusing at times but downright creepy in the visuals and atmospherics department.

[Stealth Hunter]

^

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth

Creepy. As. Hell. Game.

Alternately, take BioShock OR try to tackle Penumbra: Overture.

[Ducimus]

Of the choices, im afraid ill have to go with Hellraiser.

Evil dead series, by far my favorite, isnt what id call a horror flick. More like,..... dark comedy, and i love every 1 liner in every one of these movies.

Friday 13th, night mare on elm street. TOO many sequals. Way over done. Theyve gone from geniunly make you crap your pants, to being generic and predictable. See one, youve seen them all.

Of the dead series.
Zombies. Zombies movies are in a league of their own and not exactly all that scary.

Texas chainsaw. After seeing too many generic and predictable horror flicks (fri13th, nightmare on elm), texas chainsaw just doesnt have the same luster anymore.

[silentrunner]

You guys heard about the remake of "One Missed Call":88) :-? what a stupid concept.






P.S. They changed the ringtone

[Torplexed]

Yeah...I'll throw in a vote for Army of Darkness as well. Kitschy as it was it certainly had one of cinema's best timed and most well-delivered lines......

http://neptoon.homestead.com/bruce-campbell.jpg

[mcf1]

The allien series and also dracula

[d@rk51d3]

Bram Stoker's Dracula was my fav. Not really horror though.:hmm:

[Chad]

I too voted for Blair Witch Project!

I live in a rural area, with a lot of woods around, and I swear sometimes I hear her crying out in the night! Scarier than hell at times.

[nikimcbee]

I'd say "Jaws"
Watch Jaws, then go night swimming in a pool.:gulp:

[darius359au]

Evil Dead 1,2 and 3 "Shop smart , Shop S Mart":D

For scariest movie I'd have to go with Blair Witch project though.

[Konovalov]

Think nobody has mentioned it yet.......The Exorcist. The film its self is pretty tame by todays standards but there is a menace about it, an atmosphere; thats the scary part.

Yep, it gets my vote. Scared the heck out of people at the cinema on it's release back in the 70's. Boooo! :dead:

[Penelope_Grey]

Toy Story has got to be THE scariest notioned film I have ever seen.

*sings* You got a frieeend in me...

You mean to tell me the idea of toys coming to life... that doesn't scare you?! could you imagine you are there playing with your Barbie or Action man, and you get a new toy suppose the rejected toy is a really jealous type and comes into your room one night with a kitchen knife to "end it all"

Actually, that could be a really fricking hilarious spoof. Toy HORROR Story. :lol:

TBH, the mutilated toys in the neighbours house were quite creepy. :hmm:

[sonar732]

I'll post another...after seeing "It", I didn't like clowns at all.

Regarding my post about vampires or dracula...the two films that I can't watch at all are the original Dracula with Bela and the other Steven King classic Salem's Lot. Usually remakes aren't that good, but when Salem's Lot was remade not that long ago, I felt it was a decent one. One reason why I felt compelled by the original Nosferatu was because of it's depiction in the original Salems' Lot.

Actually, I once had a toy train, many years ago. I remember playing in my room, but each time I would try to pick up the train, it would move about 4" away from my hand. Scared the living crap outa me.

I don't know what happened to it, and I don't wanna know.

[Stealth Hunter]

It's coming for you... FOR YOUR ETERNAL SOUL...

[Wreford-Brown]

Night, Dawn and Day... of the Dead. Absolute classics. The films were 100% original and Tom Savini provided awesome special effects. They scared the c*** out of me as a kid!

[Yahoshua]

"The Thing" 1982 remake with Kurt Russell.

[Jimbuna]

Vampire movies. http://www.feebleminds-gifs.com/vampire-smiley%20face-88.gif

I especially liked Fright Night.

Also the recent The Mummy.

[VipertheSniper]

I think "The House on Haunted Hill" from the 50's or 60's is one movie that scared the crap out of me, especially since I watched it in a completely dark room. Psycho was very cool too, loved reading the trivia on imdb about the shooting of the film.

P.S. I mean I've never seen one of the Chucky movies, but why aren't they in the list, or the Omen trilogy (I think it was a trilogy)?

[Jimbuna]

The Exorcist http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/c_jane24/Smileys/4_6_100.gif

I remember seeing Quatermass and the Pit on the late movie as a kid and not being able to sleep that night. :lol: Especially the part where the ships starts to glow and all London starts to succumb to mass psychosis. It's still got a healthy edge of creepiness about it to this day. A lot of those old Hammersmith films were classics.

[sonar732]

jimbuna...that was just wrong...LOL

That movie goes under your skin.
