I figured since this is the month of Halloween we should name our favorite horror movies. This is sometimes a good way to get ideas for movies out there that people haven't seen or perhaps they have forgotten about them and would like to see them again.
So, I will start.
My all time favorite horror movie would have to be "The Shining"! The scenes and sounds still give me the chills years later.
Plus the cast was great!
Jack Nicholson
Shelly Duvall
and Scatman Crothers
Favorite quote from the movie: "Here's Johnny!" - Jack Nicholson

Mine is Snakes on a Plane. I pee my pants everytime I watch it.
Haven't seen that many, but Alien and Halloween were SCAAARY as hell.

The 1st Alien movie with Ridley Scott directing gets my vote every time. John Carpenter's 1982 version of The Thing I personally found a lot creepier than his Halloween but that's just me.
Well, I was in 5th grade at the time, so they were that much scarier.
1. Texas Chainsaw Massacre
2. All of the Hellraiser Movies...trippy.
3. The Serpent and the Rainbow..."Don't bury me...I'm not dead!"

My Wife to be is the horror movie fan:doh:. I not a horror movie fan, but love her so much I watch them with her.
She love's The Butterfly Effect, but I hated it so much I couldn't watch more than half.:roll:
The Ring wasn't too bad:hmm:
Enjoyed the Blade Trillogy, but she got scared in the second one!!
She was freaked out by Saw:D

Which version of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre? The old one or the new one?
We won't go there with HellRaiser - Those movies get me every time! Creepy! Good picks BTW!
When I first saw Serpent in the Rainbow i thought it was creepy. But now that I have seen Casper, I always associate Bill Pullman with that and Serpent in the Rainbow isn't as creepy anymore.

The butterfly effect was a horror movie? :hmm:
Didn't seem like one! :doh:
Yes, the new SAW movies are quite good! Can't wait for part 3 to come out!

Alien Movies are always on these list. I agree, they are creepy but I always put them in the SCIFI section. I only liked 1 and 2, the rest sucked! :damn:
The Thing however is another great one! Good Pick and HIGHLY recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it.

Does anyone else have a hard time getting in the water after watching the first JAWS movie or is it just me? I think that's the ONLY horror movie that actually scares me outside of my living room even today.
Perhaps this is because sharks are real things and there actually has been real shark attacks. Everyone knows that Freddy Kruger isn't really going to get them in their sleep, but you never know about a shark getting you in the ocean.

True. Saw movies are considered thrillers, but to some people this might be the "horror" that they fear the most since it could actually happen in real life!

The original Dracula with Bela! "Listen to the creatures of the night".
I agree that the first two Alien movies are top notch along with The Thing with Kurt Russell. The first Halloween...I see a patern developing here. :lol::rotfl::rotfl:

The films were there is a crazy killer after everyone, dont scare me, but make me angry. Why dont the people stay together instead of going one by one to slaughter? Why dont they pick up something they could use against the killer? The victims almost deserve everything they get.:D

I see it too, but there are a few movies that last past 2 or 3 and are still good. The "Friday the 13th" series for instance. I never really thought they were that creepy (I was more of a Freddy Kruger fan growing up) but the "Friday the 13th" movies did make it all the way up to 6 or 7 before turning into total rubbish. Actually the "Freddy vs. Jason" movie was alright but I looked at it more as another Freddy movie more than a Jason movie.
"Jason goes to hell' was like the 8th movie they made and it was complete crap. VERY very low budget! :nope:

The 1973 version of The Exorcist.
I remember after the movie I had to walk back home it was pitch black windy and i had to walk down a 2mile old creepy railroad track, the carriages would creak in the wind and a loud bang every now and then would happen. I was 14 or 15 at the time and complety freak out:rotfl:scared sh*tless. Then when i got home i had a look under the bed:rotfl:Just in case some devil or something was hiding under there!:rotfl::rotfl:

Which reminds me. SCREAM was a good one the first time I saw it. NOBODY knew how that was going to end. Now, it's a boring movie to watch.

Good one! :up:
Yet once you get married in life it's no longer is scary to watch. It's just like watching your PMSing wife on the T.V. or something! :lol:
Pretty much everything that is made by John Carpenter.
TOP3
1. Halloween
2. The Fog (the old version)
3. The Ring

I think I'll throw The Blair Witch Project in the pile as well. A movie that was creepy and unsettling mostly by inference and without having to resort to a lot of over the top special effects.

OK, that's been several Halloween movies listed so far. What is the creepiest part of the movie for those that state Halloween? What scene was it that got to you?

I agree. For one of the lowest budgeted movies ever made it sure did meet all the criteria for a good solid horror movie. It seemed so real the way they made it!
