4) Evil Dead



Huh? I laughed my way through that one. That's my only criticism.

Though the Blair Witch concept (and hype) was excellent.

[brickcitybrother]

Debatable whether we'd classify them as horror, but I love Cronenberg...

Scanners



I love that movie. Remember the commercial when they counted down from 10 to 1?

Revok: "Their thoughts can kill"

[brickcitybrother]

Dawn of the Dead really got to me ... lol

[NickTheQuick]

Not really affected by traditional horror movies but I found all these horrifying, perhaps for all the wrong reasons.

--From Justin to Kelly
--Gigli
--Cool as Ice
--Marci X
--Spice World
--Crossroads
--Steel

[GroobySteven]

Exorcist Pt 3 (directed by William Peter Blatty so getting his true vision).
Ringu


seanchai

[Sagittarius]

Alien

The Thing

Hellraiser

[Mas]

Movies don't really scare me anymore. Games however, DO!

I just played Silent Hill 4: The Room, and it completely freaked me out!

[chefmike]

IMO, there are different kinds of "scary"...there's the eerie, creepy kind...the jump out of your seat kind...and others

but while on the subject, if you like the eerie variety, check out-

The Other, circa 1972 (not to be confused with the The Others with N. Kidman, which I thought was okay

I also think all of the classic horror films starring Lon Chaney are some of the best

also, to name a few other favorites....

Psycho

Hellraiser

Halloween

Night of the Living Dead

Alien

The Ring

Freaks

[sizeman]

The remake, released in 2003, scared the daylight outta me....


Isn't Aish gargessssssssssssssss

maybe you're thinking about the second one

there are 2 Evil Dead films.

i think the 2nd one ( Evil Dead Part 2: Dead by Dawn )
was a lot more aimed at humor than the first one.


in fact ever time i think about Evil Dead 2 , i tend to think
about " Dead Alive " and " Shaun of the Dead ".
because they splice both humor and horror together.

[hondarobot]

I agree with Night Of The Living Dead, but you had to see it as a midnight movie as a kid to get the full impact.

Beyond that, I saw a preview for a japanese movie recently that freaked me out. Some girl who kept a guy in a bag and tortured him, or what remained of him. I have no idea what the movie was, but it was a creepy preview.

[tsluva]

Dawn of the Dead really got to me ... lol


no shit , me too.


i was totally caught off guard by George Romero's flick.


just like the Exorcist , i saw it when i was a teen and couldn't
sleep for two nights.

speaking of the Exorcist , to this day i've never experienced a
horror movie that could have this much affect on the general public
the way it did .


i recently saw a show on E-Hollywood channel
about the "Curse of the Exorcist " in regards all the problems they
had making the film ...

and also how a large number of the audience were literally
throwing up sick to their stomach , fainting inside the theater
or crying & running to get outside the theater doors.

Amazingly , even over 30 years , it's still the standard by
which all horror movies are measured by .

[hondarobot]

Damn, forgot about "Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer", Arriana. It's got two of the most disturbing scenes of all time. Although these days they probably aren't considered that bad at all.

I actually named my two cats Henry and Ottis, just because that movie was so effective in being creepy. I love cats, but ya gotta admit there's just something sinister about them.

[Ironhead]

I've never been the type to scare too easy over physical threats, so the more disturbing psychological stuff is what gets/got to me.

JACOB'S LADDER
because, even though it isn't really horror, it's like a bad acid trip that just won't end, leaving you tense and on the edge of your seat right up to the end.
THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE
because, as a kid, I lived in an area where we had stretches of deserted road like the one she staggers out to at dawn. I remember seeing this movie when i was young and getting a chill as I tried to imagine her fear on that isolated stretch of road with that psychopath breathing down her neck.
I'd toss in AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, just for it's quirkiness and the fact that lycanthropes were always my favorite "Halloween" monster - I just like the concept of that inner beast breaking free :)

[The Magic One]

Gotta be The Exorcist III and Jacobs ladder. I was 8 when Exorcist III came out and I remember the Jesus statue opening its eyes in the preview scared the shit outta me. I couldnt sleep without a nightlight for 2 weeks.

[GMan]

The Shining is an amazing movie...most likely because I just saw it on A&E a little while ago. The type writer scene and the scene where Jack breaks the door to the bathroom down...

[twowaybro]

The Exorcist - Hands down #1.
It's Alive - This film scared the hell out of me as a child.
Trilogy of Terror - That fucking voodoo doll gave me nightmares 4 days.
Stir of Echoes- Tho it was a Sixth Sense rip-off it still gives me the ceeps.
The Omen - Damien....whoa

[seanj]

I think the movie you are referring to is "Audition". Yes, its a very f%$$ up movie. I had to look pretty hard to find a copy last year.

[chefmike]

and...Pet Sematary...most of S. King's books haven't made the transition to the big screen very well...but this one has some very creepy stuff....

also, the original version of The Fly, and Cronenberg's remake....





Happy Halloween!!

Scariest Horror Film..I still get scared watching "The Exorcist" and "Omen".

Other Horror films Ive enjoyed are:

Night of the living dead, Howling, Bram Stroker's Dracula (1992 with Winona Rider) and ofcourse the classic Christopher Lee "dracula" movies.

The funniest horror flick: Shaun of the Dead.

~Kisses.

You're a good man for putting 4 Italian Horror Films plus The Changeling on your list. You like Burnt Offerings too? More Dego goodness with Cannibal Holocaust as well.

Anybody have [REC] on their list?
