Alien

Well, I saw Alien (my favourite film of all time) at a midnight screening at the Vue complex in Edinburgh when it was re-released a few years ago. There were only about 50 or so people in attendance, in particular a group of about a dozen kids aged about 18-20 sitting near the front. For the first 15 minutes they were joking around, generally making a lot of noise and giggling, etc. However, the scenes of the alien derelict, Space Jockey and facehugger cut the noise output close to zero, and when John Hurt bites it there were visible jumps of fear, and stifled screams from a couple of the girls. Even a few of the guys had their hands over their eyes when Harry Dean Stanton goes looking for the cat.

By far the best part was where the Captain, Tom Skerritt, is in the air shafts looking for the creature. I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen the film, but that bit produced the biggest collective scream I have ever heard in a cinema

. It was great to see that at least some kids haven't been completely desensitised by crap like Saw, Hostel, etc.

The Shining for all time best horror movie, but The Ring scared the crap out of me. Probably shouldnt have watched it all alone in the dark.

Since I have been a little boy(yes even I have been a little kid)

I had this fascination for scary movies. Don't ask me why.

My favorite Scary movie?? Hmm...er..

Well there's lots og them, so it's hart to pick one.

but somehow I must say that those from the olderdays, like those Dracula movies(starring Christopher Lee) has it's charm.

A couple a years ago, I watch one of those Dracula movies again, I just can't remember wich it was, but Lee was the Count and it was in colour
While watching it, I thought for my self...

lol...and that movie made me afraid from going, to sleep when I was a little boy.

Remember how I was watching this movie throu the narrow opening in the door. (they we're talking German)and we had only a black and white tv at that time.

All of the Halloween: Michael Myers movies and SAW series. My real favorite is the Michael Myers movie BEFORE the "Halloween 4: Michael Myer Returns" one.

The 1963 film "Black Sabbath" with Boris Karloff. One of the three stories told in the film called "The Drop of Water" scared the daylights out of me when I was a kid. To this day I still have a hard time watching it.

BOO!

Then she took us to see, 'The Sentinal" 1977. WTH mom? I could not eat my damn JuJu Bees or Snow Caps to save my arse. Friggin blind priest guarding the gates of hell

Quote:

In the wake of such Satanic-themed thrillers as Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist and The Omen comes The Sentinel. When New York fashion model (Cristina Raines) splits with her fiance (Chris Sarandon) and moves into an old brownstone, she soon discovers she has more than she bargained for in the lease. As luck would have it, a mysterious blind priest (John Carradine) who lives upstairs happens to be guarding the doorway to Hell, and she has been chosen as his replacement. Incidentally, when the door is finally opened, out spills an assortment of deformed humans whom director Michael Winner hand-picked from hospital wards and circus sideshows. ~ Jeremy Beday, All Movie Guide
Review

Nothing scares the hell out of people like religion, and the Catholic Church, with its centuries of history and arcane rituals, has figured in dozens of horror pictures that seek to exploit the combination of fear and respect that people (non-adherents in particular) hold for its priests. The Sentinel certainly follows in the footsteps of films like The Exorcist which apply a Catholic theological approach to questions of heaven and hell, but the film opens with some stylistic cops from Rosemary's Baby, a more doctrine-neutral occult tale. New York model Christina Raines' new apartment building is populated by a group of eccentric neighbors (including Burgess Meredith as the nosy Ruth Gordon character) who expend an inordinate amount of effort to draw her into their circle. When it's discovered that they may or may not be figments of her imagination, The Sentinel's story finds some nice twists of its own, and ultimately succeeds as a creepy little trifle for those who can accept the Catholic Church as a sinister institution that forces innocent nonbelievers into servitude at the gates of Hell. Star watchers will also enjoy seeing future lead players such as Jeff Goldblum, Jerry Orbach, and Christopher Walken in minor supporting roles

Favorite scary movie of all time is "The Echo" (2008) a remake of Filipino horror Sigaw.

"An ex-con moves into an old apartment building, where he encounters a domestic problem involving a police officer, his wife, and their daughter. When he tries to intervene, however, a mysterious curse entraps him" Yeah another curse one but The Echo beats them all (The Grudge, The Ring).

Dont watch it alone..
