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

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

"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.

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.

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

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.

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? 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.

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

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

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.

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......
