Horror movies

What is your favorite horror movie(s). What would you recommend as the scariest movie of all time

[jhunt223]

The Ring or the The Exorcist. The scene in the extended version of the Exorcist where she crawls down the stairs with her back arched and her stomach facing the ceiling ****ed me up for months when I was a kid.

Insidious was pretty freaky, as far as modern horror movies go.
I always thought House on Haunted Hill was pretty good too.

[Puppet Guy]

I saw The Exorcist for the first time when I was 20, and I didn't shut my lights off when I went to bed that night. And it's still scary.

The 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers is creepy. The original Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein are both masterpieces, but I consider them tragedies rather than horror.

Audition by Takashi Miike is really the only movie that I have been uncomfortable watching

For newer movies I give a vote for Insidious too.

The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a good one. Jaws will always be up there for me too.

My favourite is The Shining followed closely by Silence of the Lambs if you consider that one horror.

Another vote for Insidious.

Sinister is suppose to be good, sitting at 82% on RT. I think it releases everywhere this weekend.

I'm someone who just got into horror a few years ago - I couldn't watch The Walking Dead by myself. I'll make a list some are comedy horror but fun anyway.

Lesbian Vampire Killers
Ravenous
Tucker And Dale Vs Evil
Zombieland
Dawn of the Dead
28 Days
28 Weeks Later
Black Sheep
Slither
Stake land
Dead Snow

The original Halloween.



Burnt Offerings - Worth the watch If you can find it.

[tenyardrambo]

Ya I saw Burnt Offerings in 2004. I rented it from Blockbuster(crowfoot). It is slightly older but really twisted, especially the ending.

Alot of those 'investigation' movies are really bad. The people who walk around with machines and lights etc.

If you want something that's going to make you jump I recommend The Descent.

Because of this movie, my wife is no longer allowed to drink red wine during scary movies.

Signs
The Strangers
The Blair Witch Project

[Russic]

More suspense than horror, but imo Stir of Echoes is one of the more underrated freaky movies. It came out the same weekend as The Blair Witch Project and was largely ignored. It's a pretty smart movie in a genre that often boils down to loud noises at unexpected times.

Horror movie guy here. There's a big difference between scariest and good horror movies. Here are some of my favourite horror movies

Off the top of my head, in no real particular order:

Jacob's Ladder
The Shining
Let The Right One In (Swedish original)
Silence of the Lambs*
Poltergeist
Rosemary's Baby
Sleepaway Camp - 80s cheesy horror movie. But very strong and a GREAT ending.
Alien
28 Days Later
Texas Chainsaw Massacre - I like both the '74 and 2000s one
Nightmare on Elm Street
Halloween
Sixth Sense

HIGHLY recommend Jacob's Ladder and Let the Right One In if you haven't seen them yet.

For me, The Exorcist doesn't stand the test of time. I know it is regarded as the best horror movie of all time, but I just can't take it serioulsy anymore. I don't find it scary as I did when I was under 10 years old...I actually find it humerous. Regan's lines can easily be brushed off.

I'm a wimp when it comes to horror movies, but I'm making it my goal to watch every movie on this list. I'm at 8 right now haha. http://www.imdb.com/list/kJxp6JzoieY/

[Kybosh]

It isn't particularly scary, but I love An American Werewolf in London. It's a really well crafted movie and holds up pretty well to this day. Don't bother with An American Werewolf in Paris though (Spoiler alert! It sucks).

[spydermal]

Event Horizon.

[Yasa]

Cabin in the Woods. It's not particularly scary, and goes in a fun direction. Not for everyone, but I loved it.
