Favourite horror flick?
- Thread starter Chaos Drake
- Start date
Carebears the Movie - it made me piss myself the first time I saw it. Which was last Tuesday.
erm...
I mostly agree with JoeGKushner
1. The Ring - I've been telling people for years little girls are scary.
2. The Exorcist - The scene with the cross.
3. Halloween - "Was that the boogy man?" "As a matter of fact it was."
4. In the Mouth of Madness - "Oh, you found the town..."
5. Nightmare on Elm Street - I say the first one is still good and the squels are bad.
6. The Thing - Headcrab/spider-thing. Arm eating chest.
7. Hellraiser - "...it's always been yours."
8. The Omen - When I was a little kid I thought I was the Antichrist.
9. Texas Chainsaw Masacre - 'Nothing like some Texas Barbeque!
10. Bride of Frankenstien - the scene with the hermit was so good Mel Brooks had to lampoon it.

1) Session 9.
What, you've never heard of it?
This thing will get inside your brain stem, gnaw on it for a little while, then curl up inside and lay dormant until you're alone. Then you remember...
"I live...in the weak...and the wounded."
2) I consider the Ring to be a fantastic horror movie. I had the pleasure of showing the movie to my relatives, who proclaimed the "fake" ending to be lame and were about to get up, then sunk back into their seats, horrified at the conclusion. Classic.
3) My third place vote is more of an experience: after watching the new Dawn of the Dead, we left the movie theater to discover we couldn't get back to our car because the mall closed down. So we had to navigate through a darkened mall and hope we could find a way to our car...and not MEET ANY ZOMBIES. That rattled me good.
4) Halloween: H20. Because it actually posited the question "what would YOU be like if you were stalked by a serial killer in seven other movies?" You'd be an alcoholic neurotic who experiences hallucinations, that's what.
5) Joy Ride. Had a guy come after me once on the road. He actually took a swing at my car as I sped past him. His knuckle scrapings were all along my windshield. Scary movie all by itself.

the old Dawn of The Dead (1979 i think) and any other Romero zombie movie. (BTW Cthulhudrew, you'll probably like Day of the Dead if you like his other stuff.)
Halloween
The Exorcist
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (both the old one and the new one are great)
The Changeling
and of course the scariest movie ever: The Ring Let's just say before I saw this movie, I had a TV in my bedroom. Now it's in my basement.

6. Stir of Echoes: The way they did the ghost... I actually had to close my eyes in the theater during some scenes- it was just too real. Had to give it an honorable mention.
5. Hellraiser: Some pretty creepy material here. I especially like the part where the uncle begins to form out of the floor... Surprisingly, though, I enjoy Clive Barker much more as a writer than as a director. I definitely recommend The Great and Secret Show and Imajica to those who like horror/fantasy, although I must warn you that Imajica, at least, contains a fair amount of homoerotica.
4. Evil Dead 2: Basically a somewhat comedic remake of the first one, but still very well done. Very similar in flavor to Dead Alive.
3. Evil Dead: Very close to the exorcist in the creep factor, especially the scene with the blonde girl sitting on the floor... Well done for a low budget film. Hats off to Sam Raimi, whose career I might compare to those of David Cronenberg or David Lynch.
2. The Exorcist: In my opinion, this is the absolute scariest film ever made. The director's cut included some extremely creepy bonus footage as well.
1. Dead Alive: Amazingly well done for a low-budget film. Quirky, creepy, and yet somehow classy at the same time, this is probably my absolute favorite. Unsurprisingly, it was also directed by Peter Jackson. I saw and loved it long before he gained his widespread notoriety.
