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.

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth

Creepy. As. Hell. Game.

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

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.

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






P.S. They changed the ringtone

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......

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

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.

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

darius359au 01-19-08 05:32 AM

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.

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:

*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:

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.
