Favorite Horror Movies

[Elwood]

Salems Lot scared the shit out of me and Halloween was one of the first movies I went to see as a teen with my friends, I screamed like a little school girl!! I think I will watch these two again and see if they have the same effect???

Speaking of horror films, did you know that Hitchcock's movie The Birds didn't have a musical soundtrack? There was only the sounds of birds.

Oh, and the scene where the little sparrows come flying out of the fireplace? They were animated by Disney studios.

The Exorcist is the scariest movie I have ever seen, but it's not truly a horror movie.

Halloween would be my favorite horror movie.

Interesting gay zombie flick,... (...)

I've watched the trailer and feel sad I can't watch the whole of it. Looks interesting

Night of the Living Dead. The original b/w version.

I love the ending most of all.
And I think it's pretty good at showing some of the psychology of the people stuck in this house, like the man from the basement that didn't want to come out etc...

Missing a lot films off that fave movie list! Martyrs, Irréversible, Let the Right One In, Tell No One, Insomnia (original), Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, Fright Night, From Dusk Till Dawn are films that should be added. Guess I can edit my Facebook page tonight!

Oh dang Let the Right One In was so good!

And in Tell No One the doctor dude was friggin hot!

In terms of 'made for TV' movies, "Salem's Lot" is perhaps the best film ever made in that genre.

I don't say that lightly. Movies made from Stephen King novels are usually pretty bad, but this one, in the capable hands of director Tobe Hooper is pure, terrifying genius.

The attention to detail in nearly every shot, the lighting, the surprisingly convincing acting... all add up to one unforgettable viewing experience.

I about shit myself when I first saw it as a little kid, and all these jaded years later it still holds up. It's hard to say what it is about it that makes it so special, but it remains unforgettable.

Don't believe me ? Search for scenes on Youtube, and tell me it doesn't surpass even "Halloween" and other classics in terms of pure creepiness.

Definitely The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The original was cool, but the 2003 remake kicks ass. Sure it may not be a classic or anything but I loved the cast, and the way it looked, and the sound of a running chainsaw always scares the shit out of me

Also, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning.

Need I say more?

1997 horror epic Event Horizon.

In short, spaceship with the ability to bend spacetime to allow travel of supermassive distance in short times is built and disappears on its maiden voyage. It pops up on radar some seven years later but is not responding to radio, so they send a salvage team out to get it.

Cue blood, devastation, death, nightmares and horror. Not your typical space horror, either...

So, is this thread only about horror movies or also splatter and slasher?

 

[lennon]

The Exorcist is the scariest movie I have ever seen

[unloadonme]

I thought The Exorcist was funny.

 

[Adrock-JD]

^ I laughed at most of it, too. I still have it on my favs list. It's so campy and ridiculous that it's good.

I love the dialogue especially.
