  • Best Horror Film ?

    Alright everyone. Halloween is coming up, and it's time for the serious horror film watching to begin. Post the most scary/suspenseful/horrific/frightening movie you've seen, so I can start compiling a list of what to see on the 31st.

    Keep in mind, I don't want Freddy Krueger - those are just idiotic.

    I saw The Haunting(1960s version); you can still list it, but I won't be watching it again for Halloween.

    The Shining.

      More specifically, the Jack Nicholson version of The Shining.

        I don't know about best, but The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the new one) was pretty damn good (and scary)

            Texas Chainsaw Massacre

            Flesh For Frankenstein with Udo Kier is one of the coolest "horror" movies I have ever seen! Gore, sex and lots of "Gewman Inglisch"

                There was a TV miniseries based on the book, Sloww. It was released just a few years ago.



                My vote? The Exorcist, especially the DVD edition.

                      A few of my favorite thriller/horror movies (some more for the atmosphere than for the scares):
                      The old universal classics (Mummy, Frankenstein, Invisible Man, etc)
                      House on Haunted Hill (The William Castle version)
                      Hush, Hush, Sweet Charolette
                      The Devil Rides Out
                      Phantom of The Opera (Hammer version)
                      The Omen
                      Lady in White (probably my favorite)
                      Silence of the Lambs

                        "The Wicker Man" is my favourite. Closely followed by "Don't look now". I like the more cerebral horror.

                        I'm a Romero fan too, so the "Dead" movies have to feature.

                          Just have to keep agreeing.

                          Hush, Hush, Sweet Charolette made me a nervous wreck.
                          So did Helter-Skelter.
