Quote from Naruto

Army Of Darkness / Evil Dead are certainly high up on that list, along with classics like the original Nightmare On Elm Street, Pyscho, American Pyscho, IT, original Texas Chainsaw Masacre, Wishmaster 1&2, Hellraiser, Silence Of The Lambs, Hannibal, Red Dragon...

of more recent movies, 28 Days Later, Ginger Snaps, Saw, the Texas Chainsaw Masacre remake...

and that's all I can think of at the moment.

I love a good horror movie, be it a pyschological thriller, a slasher movie or just plain zombies eating up a neighbourhood, it works for me.

--------------------

Okay, but there was a goat!

If you liked the Grudge, consider seeing the movie Ju-on, which the American The Grudge was based on. I thought it was a Korean movie, but imdb is saying that it's Japanese. imdb has been known to be wrong, though. I saw the Ju-on movies first and was horrified, and watched The Grudge after that and thought it was pretty tame.

Psycho (original), The Exorcist, and Poltergeist. I'm mainly the most fond of these three horror films due to their unique plotlines (for their corresponding years of release), brilliant acting and chilling suspense, although Poltergeist is really the only one among 'em - and among the genre, for that matter - to genuinely scare the [insert bodily excretion here] outta me. As I recall mentioning not too long ago, the scene involving that possessed clown doll still practically causes me to choke on my tongue...

I'm not too big a fan of newer films within the genre these days; most of 'em tend to believe the horror concept dictates that the higher the gore factor, the scarier the movie. Judging from the same films guilty of said offense, that clearly isn't the case.

Poltergeist was actually prettty frightening, to me. The Exorcist was okay...unfortunately, I've never actually seen the original Psycho. I'll have to dig that up sometime.

Ju-on (The Grudge) and The Ring were okay, I imagine they'd be even more frightening in the original versions. (I've heard as such.)

As for other movies...meh. Most of them are quite hilarious. (Perhaps from being predictable?) I have no clue how they'd be scary, but meh. Sixth Sense and those other Shamalan movies were more suspensful than actually scary, but maybe that's just me.

Evil Dead wasn't scary but incredibly gory *probably goriest movie ever* and hilarious with the hand. Silence of The Lambs was good along with the remake of Texas Chain Saw. I liked the movie Wrong Turn as well....the "things" were quite funny since they would scream like well....i dont know Jeepers Creepers was another awesome scary movie. I fine the first one was better than the second but thats just me. I want to see the movie The Hills Have Eyes and See No Evil looks cool as well. Suprised noone had a topic like this before? Did you try to search for one? Oh yeah Saw and SawII cant forget thoughs considering they show the nice painful torture! ow...

'The Hills Have Eyes.' It's just creepy. And the beginning, when they're showing all those bombs and the malformed babies *shiver*. It was really well done, I think. Except the part with the mother getting blown away by that gun. That was sorta dumb. Second would be...Pet Cemetary. Not really scary now, but I saw it when I was, like, 5, and I have lasting mental issues and nightmares from it. Seriously.

Exsorcist and Poltergiest for me are the only true horror movies that I'd consider my faves. Most other films mentioned here, like the Evil Dead series, I really don't consider horror (Silence of the Lambs is horror? Come on!). I do have a guilty pleasure for the House on Haunted Hill remake though. Geoffery Rush made that movie.

Psycho, great movie I haven't entered a fruit cellar since.

To be honest I've never been in a house with a fruit cellar. Let alone be afraid to enter them.

Speaking of fruit cellars, your post reminds me of what's perhaps one of the funniest moments in all of moviedom, incidentally from a scene near the end of Psycho:

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

The mental image (and sight) of Norman Bates dressed in full drag and screaming like the elderly woman he's portraying, a meat cleaver raised above his head as he bolts (presumedly in heels) through the cellar, always manages to crack me up.

silver fork even though I was scared a couple seconds before, I couldn't help but laugh myself when that happened. That is a scene I'll never forget.

IT, the first horror move I ever saw and it's the only one ever to scare me, made me afraid to go in the bathroom for weeks and it helped cause my coulrophobia, other then that though no movies were in any way scary to me

other then that I like the Childs Play and Nightmare On Elmstreet movies, Children of the Corn is ok, Psycho is always good, and hellraiser is always good

I'll cast the first vote for 'The Shining', then. Kubrick and King really ought to have pow-wow's on these kind of projects more often, because this one can do 'no' wrong. And Jack Nicholson? Nuff said.

Oh. And don't ask about room 237.

Now that I think about it, Killer Clowns From Outer Space is another of my favorite horror flicks. I love clowns and murdering scary-lookin' ones make it all the more better . After seeing the trailer last night during Raw, The Descent looks pretty interesting, too.

I think out of the ones I have seen, my favorite one has to be "Night of the Living Dead" (1968), the classic George Romero horror film. It still has a impact today even with films being produced today containing a lot more graphic footage.

Sleepy Hollow. It had great story and the directing (Probly tim burton's best) was even better. I also like the fact that it showed the heads being sliced off and that was rare back in 99.

Do you like Horny Bunnies?

Dawn of the Dead, both the Romero original and the remake.

The hopelessness of the situation has a big emotional impact on the end of the movie, and caps off a rollercoaster ride of emotions quite nicely.

28 Days Later is a pretty good stormy night flick, too.

Any hitchcock, Romero, or Shamaylan (sp?) movie. I loved The Village, so haters be damned!

28 Days Later is a favourite of mine. Not even just in terms of horror films, it's one of my favourite films overall. I like that the focus is on how people react in the face of zombies (or in this case, RAGE-infected humans) as opposed to being on 'lol zombies eat your face.' The mix of surreal, breathtaking, even beautiful scenes and imagery with a very dark, apocalyptic concept and some very frenetic and thrilling action scenes makes for a film with a lot more substance to it than most contemporary 'zombie' movies.

If we're going on sheer scare-factor here, though, I'd say The Grudge. I know people who've said they were quite amused during it, and, admittedly, I didn't think the story was too hot, but shit, I was biting my nails throughout the film. People were actually leaving the cinema out of fear during the film, and, upon leaving, my friends and I agreed to staying at the same house that night. It was just so jumpy.

I've heard two viewpoints on The Grudge. One faction thinks it was a great scary movie, the other thinks it was a cinematic turd.

I've never seen it myself, as I'm not a huge Sarah Michelle Gellar fan. I must say that the posts mentioning it in here have piqued my curiosity, though. I might see if wifey-poo is up for a horror flick tonight after the kiddies are in bed.

Stephen King's Thinner. I thought the movie was very much like the book. Although I'd put it under Thriller more than horror even though it is really in the Horror catagory.
