Guys what are your favorites? Slashers? Monster flicks? Campy horror movies?
Here's my list
Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho
Friday the 13th (Franchise with the exception of the god awful Jason X)
Nightmare on Elm Street (Franchise)
Halloween (Michael Myers Franchise)
The Omen
American Psycho - one of my all time favorites!!!
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Silence of the Lambs/Hannibal/Red Dragon
The Shining
Any of the new movies that come out are pretty scary (scary in a way that you never thought films could be so horrible)
Wanna shit your pants? Go see The Guardian!
....Ashton Kutcher trying to be serious is scary to me as well
The book is 10 times better..... :)Quote:

Im not really into horror...
Hitchcocks psycho is more than horror though and I think its an excellent film....
Hopkins mincing it up as Mr Lector also appeals to me....
Otherwise the genre just leaves me with an empty feeling...
I once sat through Pearl Harbour (not the actual event, but the film) and that was pretty scary, but an entirely different kind of scariness altogether....
Some of my personal favorites...
in no particular order:
1. Black Christmas
2. The Exorcist
3. Magic
4. Monster Squad
5. The Howling
6. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original)
7. The Exorcism of Emily Rose
8. The Changeling
9. Halloween
10. Night of the Living Dead (remake)
11. Let's Scare Jessica to Death
12. They Live
13. Silver Bullet
14. Toruist Trap
15. Jacob's Ladder
*Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstien -- I HAVE LOVED THIS SINCE CHILDHOOD
I have heard good things about The Woman In Black.
I have never seen it but have always wnated to. Any of the UK members know of this woman?
I meant know of this movie
I get the biggest kick out of The Simpson's halloween episodes. Scary movies are always a letdown. ie, not scary. The scariest movie I ever saw was Poltergeist. I was about 7, saw it in the theater with my cousin, and din't sleep the rest of the summer. I was convinced that a clown was under my bed.

I liked Friday the 13th (first one havent seen the others.)
I really like this movie called, "The Audition". It's japanesse and is really good and was really highly regarded when it came out a couple years back. If you dont mmind reading subtitles you have to see it.
Hostel was good, I also liked the first "Saw" movie, but thought the 2nd one sucked and don't plan to see the third.
It's funny all those scary movies are on tv now and if I flip through and see Jason or Freddy I still get a little shiver.
Netflix is the great if any of you are big movie fans.
I have a copy of the dvd and the book American Psycho. I read the book in high school and saw the movie years later. I thought the book was a very boring read except for the very graphicly described killings, which were awesome. I say skim through the book until you find the kills...
Have an anonymous one on me BG, I like your style
never been into typical horrors... i seen a couple like omen n stuff...
i think the only scary film i really like is 28 days later..
and dawn of the dead..
dont know if they count as horror.. more zombieish then horror but i guess its all horror at the end of the day?
peace
I liked Poltergiest. The tree scared me pretty good. Poltergiest II kicked ass. III was dreadful.Quote:

I am a fairly desensitized induvidual as well...But I remember those torture/killings being on another level! I saw the movie about a year ago and didn't like it as much as the book. The book had underlying themes on how money and status drives the american way of life and everything else is depersonalized, even people. Yada yada yada..Quote:
