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.

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

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

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.

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:

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

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

Does reading the daily headlines count as horror?

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

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.

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:

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.

"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.

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.

"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..."

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