I am a fan of scary movies...it's hard to narrow it down to one....here are some of my favorites:




The People Under the Stairs
Return of the Living Dead: Part 2
Ghost Ship
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Ring

The best Horror movie I have ever seen is Frailty (2001).  It had chills, thrills, and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time :o

Oh yes...Frailty was creepy!! :o

I love scary movies.  My all time favorite movie is The Exorcist.

Others I like...

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original)
Don't be Afraid of the Dark
Audrey Rose
Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things
The Blood on Satan's Claw
Night of the Living Dead
Dawn of the Dead

Any Dracula movie with Christopher Lee

I've yet to see a scary movie.

Heh, I saw Andromeda Strain as a kid and was really creeped out when the guy is trapped in the room with the alien spores... Now, the movie seems pathetic at best.  8)

The only movie that REALLY creeped me out, was the original Exorcist. As cheesy as it was.

The others
Night of the living dead (1991)
signs
The omen (both old and new ones)

Of the Scary Movie series I have only seen Scary Movie 4.

The Exorcist
The Omen (1976)

How could I have forgotten The Omen...great movie!!

When this movie came out it was creepy and a little scary and I loved it.

The Exorcist was the scariest (when it first came out), now it's kind of lame but director William Blatty directed another not so well known film titled "Twinkle Twinkle Killer Kane" which I saw with "He Knows You're Alone" and even though "Twinkle,Twinkle, Killer Kane" isn't quite as scary as most, it's a very good suspense thriller with a twist at the end of the movie and has been renamed "The Ninth Configuration"  basic storyline is New psychiatrist (commanding officer) takes over an asylum for disturbed military men which is at a remote castle  .
stars Stacy Keach

Well I am a huge horror movie lover. My favorite ones are:


Halloween (All of them except for 3. I had never liked that one.)

Friday The 13 th (All of them.)

Most of the Stephen King movies

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Flowers In The Attic

Oh yes...Frailty was creepy!! :o



FRAILTY WAS REALLY GOOD AND SCARY...  I loved Texas Cahinsaw and I love the Exorcist.... Saw was pretty good and May was creepy good.  Cool topic

The only movie that REALLY creeped me out, was the original Exorcist. As cheesy as it was.


Yeah, that was creepy...like the best horror movies, it worked alot on suspense. Though personally, I think it showed you a bit too much, if you know what I mean. It's made even spookier by the 'Exorcist curse'. The filming crew were beset by problems, and one of the main actors in the film was killed in an accident not long after the film was released. I think it's coincidence, but still, it's spooky.

The Others (Probably the favorite of all scary movies)
The Sixth Sense
The Seventh Sign (even though I'm not too sure if this could be concidered a scary movie or not)
The Omen (the orginal one)
Poltergist
Children of the Corn (These last two I can not watch alone.)

I have a really hard time watching horror movies - I just get way too scared!  :-

I actually really like Ghost Ship - it's one of the only scary movies I can watch over and over.  I love the idea of them finding the ship floating out there all alone.  I would LOVE to explore something like that.  :D

Any psychological thriller.  I don't like any movie with gratuitous violence, blood and gore.  Those aren't scary........they're stupid.

I couldn't agree more!


ME TOO!!! ;)


If I ever find a haunted and mysteriously deserted cruise ship I will totally call you.    ;)

Am I the only person that thinks the movie, "Silent Hill" was totally creepy? I guess they are making a Silent Hill 2....has anyone heard anything about this? Does anyone else like this movie and/or think it is really creepy too? ???

Since I haven't been to a theater for anything other than kids movies in a long time, I'm gonna have to wait until it's out on DVD.  I can't wait to see it.

well..only the 1st one is out currently, Phillip. IMO, I thought it was really creepy and kept my attention the whole time. I would say, if you like creepy movies...than give it a go.

It's out on DVD now, I rented it about a month ago. :)

This is the "haunted" board, so I'll stick to scary movies with a supernatural theme:

The Shining
Rosemary's Baby
The Exorcist (original)
Ghost Story
The Serpent & the Rainbow
Blair Witch Project
Halloween (original)
Saw (original)

Rosemary's Baby
The Exorcist
Carrie
Trilogy Of Terror
The Omen
Henry, Portrait Of A Serial Killer
Devil's Advocate
Angelheart
I'm sure there are others, but these stand out as creeping me out the most.

Oh yes The Shining.  I LOVE it!

I have a friend who was in the remake of the Shining-she played the principal. The funny thing is, I have never seen that version of the movie.

Me neither.  Is that the one with they guy from Wings?  I like him, but I can't see anyone but Jack Nicholson in that role.

Yup-that's the one. One of these days I will watch it just to see her.




Cat

The original "House on Haunted Hill"  featuring Vincent Price
Dracula staring Bela Lugosi
Little Shop of Horrors- Featuring a cameo by Jack Nicholson
The Exorcist

Dracula staring Bela Lugosi




Scary movie? I always thought of that as a comedy.  :D ;D ;D (But I do love it. I have a copy of it myself.)




Cat

It is a classic!!!  I don't go for the fake blood stuff.  I remember reading Bram's when I was a child. :)

The 1932 Dracula is plenty scary, if you get beyond the camp of primitive horror cinema and watch it conceptually.

i looked so many of them , but really one that scares me at that time (i miss that capacity of being scared by a movie, it gones with my childhood :( ) is a 80s movie called Superstition (AKA the Witch in USA). Is an underrated movie , and is the storie of a town that burns a witch in 1692 , and then that witch reborns from hell..... im still remeber being scared with my old brother and cry by fear the entire night, cause a tree we have in our yard makes a shadow identically to the shadow of the witch ...is really weird that stil scares me , but bring me to many memories, i miss my bro so much since he get married, is weird...

"Evil Dead" (1983) don't know if it was the movie or my state of mind at the time, but it has stuck with me.

[url="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/06/Evil_Dead_poster.jpg"

I don't think anyone mentioned "Alien".....I was terrified...I even ran out and bought the VHS.  "Aliens" wasn't too bad either!

I don't think anyone mentioned "Alien".....I was terrified...I even ran out and bought the VHS.  "Aliens" wasn't too bad either!
Alien was filmed on a closed set, with only the main vital crew in the studio, so what was filmed was kept secret. On the release of the film it created a huge impact.

The Changeling.  It just kills me every time.

What about "The Entity"????....

i remeber being totaly cared when at the end is revealed as a true story in real life.....

Suspiria, Phenomena or the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I also love Halloween series, especially the first 2. And the Living Dead trilogy.

The Changeling.  It just kills me every time.


I'm waiting for Blockbuster to send this one.  As much as I love horror movies and as many as I've seen over the years, I have never watched this one.  I can't wait. 

Stir of Echoes freaked the hell out of me the first time I saw it. Most "horror" films today are based on how much gore can be packed into an hour and a half- I prefer those movies that mess with your head. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

that was a good one, for sure!  Silent Hill was really good, IMO.

I have a favorite horror comedy, does that count?

I want to know before posting it, it if doesn't count.. is there a horror comedy thread?

As for the Scary Movie series I have only seen #4.

I refuse to watch "Poltergeist" by myself. And I can't watch it at night. That movie messed me up as a little kid, and I haven't been right since! :D

I watched "Ringu" (the original "Ring") by myself and thought nothing of it. Seven days later, I could NOT fall asleep. :P

I loved "The Sixth Sense".

"The Exorcist" makes me laugh.

"The Amityville Horror" (parts 1 and 2) freaked me out.

The Shining has to be my pick, Here's the original trailer for the movie. It's so scary too!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opWuhHspLBg
I also loved The Silence of the Lambs.

Nosferatu - the original German film

Phantom Of The Opera - the original

Black Cat

I don't watch horror unless it's a comedy I'd have to say my favorate at this time is Dracula Dead And Loving It

What about "The Entity"????....

instead of being- what? A real story in fake life?  ;)

The Amityville Horror turned out to be made up after the billing of a true story.

Yeah and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre is also billed as a true story but is actually loosely based on a serial killer from Michigan not Texas.

Actaully, it was  in Wisconsin, the killer's name was Ed Gein, and he also inspired Hannibal Lector and Norman Bates, as charecters.

Poltergeist is one of my favorite films.

I knew it was some place cold.... that's probably why he was creating the human suit... He heard that the best way to raise body heat was to have two bodies close together (or something like that)

From what I read on the net, it was more like an unhealthy obsession, of his mother, hence case the killing of women and wearing their sskins.

for anyone who cares cuz its one of my favorite scenes (the part with Natalie&Tootie in the beginning):  http://youtube.com/watch?v=fsPeOp7_zXg

and this one because it still makes me laugh so hard I want to pee my pants. Mostly Rachel's reaction.  Although Phoebe too. Apparently, no one
expected Lisa Kudrow to chime in so although they were on the brink that's when they really lost!  ;D

You know this was supposed to be on the reccommend something to a member but somehow it got here NOW THAT'S SCARY!

Okay so I saw Turistas last week. It was not bad for what it was but it made me mad because hello you're in a foreign country.... NEVER DIVERT from the plan!!!!

I followed it up with 28 days later. This one still impresses me although I would have preferred the less sappy ending (the original ending was pretty cool!)  gonna finally watch 28 weeks later this week

I love phsycological thrillers. I think it's worse when something messes with your mind instead of being up front and chopping someone's arm off at the socket.

My favorite mind bender is "The Others" with Nicole Kidman. The ending was so far out in left field, I was shaken for a couple of days.

It was REALLY good!  ;D

The Omen is great.

Salem's Lot used to scare the crap out of me as a kid.  Vampires scratching on windows and whispering, let me in, come on...That kind of put a damper on my sleeping for awhile.

Poltergeist definitely had some freaky parts.

My favorite move is It by Stephen King, but one of the scary movies that I watched recently was Desperation by Stephen King and boy that one was freaky. I had to take a break for like half an hour before I finished the movie.

I LOVE horror..., here's some that scared me -

Night of the Living Dead ( original)
The Exorcist
The Hills Have Eyes
Straw Dogs
Jaws
Alien
Silence of the Lambs
Wolf Creek
High Tension
Juon the Grudge ( Japanese )

I enjoyed Friday the 13th: Jason Lives and Nightmare on Elm Street back in the day. As for now, I love the Saw movies. I want to watch Cloverfield at the cinema but heard mixed things about it.

Poltergeist is one of the only "scary" movies that I actually like.  It's one of my favorite movies, period.

Have you watch television since viewing the film?

Well, I was pretty scared of TVs for a while after I saw it when I was 10.  XD 

I just watched Vacancy with Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale.... gotta say despite the bad reviews I watched most of this film in "chick vision" that means fetal position with the hands covering the eyes.... looking through the fingers....  ::)  yeah I know but it got me...


anyway I spent most of the movie yelling at Luke & Kate cuz they were pissing me off!!!

I haven't read it yet. Tam has it but i havent asker her to read it. She is very protective of her SK books. I am sure she trusts me with them now but i have so many other books to read.

I find SK always starts of really strong but they end weakly!

I have attempted reading three of his books. Lisey's Story, The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger, and Blaze. The only one I got through was Blaze. Lisey's story started very slow and then hit a good spot but it slow down again shortly after so i stopped and Gunslinger was just rediculously slow to me but tam says that the series is fantastic.

His normally are. Have you ever read insomnia. I want to but that size of that book is ridiculous. I can read fast when I want to but i have to be in the mood and with school and stuff I don't have the time to be in the mood.

Insomnia is a great book.  The Stand is the best, though.  The movie would have been 100 times better if they had cast someone other than Molly Ringwald as Fran. ::)  (no I will never get over that ;D )

SK is one case that I believe the movies are better than the books - because I can never make it through the books :-\\ :-\\ :-\\  I have tried reading It, The Stand, Pet Cemetary, Carrie, The Shining, The Lot, and Firestarter - I can not make it through a single one of them....  They are incredibly long and intense, and I believe he describes so much that I get bored because they move so slow - I hate the fact that I read 1/2 a book (300 pages) and never know how they turn out :o :o :o

Yeah - unfortunately I miss a lot of the scary movies too - I am under the covers with my eyes closed :-\\ :-\\ :-\\

I never used to be afraid of scary movies (I watched poltergeists, exorcists, wolfen, texas chainsaw massacre, motel hell, friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm St, and Halloweens when I was 18 and under) NOW most of the Horror movies are soooo psychotic (and most are dealing with realistic "crazy" people) I can not watch them... I do like the first Saw I did manage to see it

I also loved how escaping from Leatherhead/face - texas Chainsaw massacre - just be smart (you don't even have to be too smart) and leave the state of Texas

And to win against Micheal Myers from Halloween - just walk at a fast pace and go out into the open (this also works with Jason from Friday the 13th) ;D ;D ;D ;D

You should consider reading his books consisting of short stories instead.  They should hold your attention better.  I have read so many of his books and I don't think the movies do them justice at all.  Misery is probably the only movie that really stuck to the book.  Duma Key just came in the mail and look forward to starting that book.  :)

friday the 13th part 2 was the best one.

i also like the shining, night of the living dead, nightmare on elm street (only the odd numbered ones, strangely), hellraiser and hellraiser 2, omen/exorcist, the haunting (1963), the haunting of hell house (by the director of witch mountain!), the ring, blair witch (yes, i loved blair witch), and, um, a bunch of other stuff.

  The Fog, The Howling, The Thing, Phantasm (<---so bizarre/scary still gives me nightmares...)

yeah, phantasm was a cool one, all right. that flying metal ball was an icon when that movie came out. everyone saw the previews and they were all talking about the weird flying ball.

  The flying ball was crazy...

  The worst scare I ever got was returning home after watching Phantasm - my sister went into the house ahead of us and hid behind the bedroom door.  I was so shaken that it took awhile before I could even speak...I was only ten or eleven at the time...
