If you like horror movies, any favorites?

Post Reply New Topic

I like the ghost type of horror movies, not so much slashers, so here are some of my favorites so far, some of them being the scariest I have seen:

The Ring (whole series) - both original and remake
The Grudge (whole series) - both original and remake
Shutter - both original and remake
The Others - because it was different and interesting ending
The Orphanage - I am not sure if this one was translated or if I just watched with subtitles
Scream (whole series) - I didn't think I would like it because it is a slasher type, but there isn't that much blood (compared to many other slashers) and I ended up liking the series and the characters
Drag me to hell - was pretty good too in its own way

trying to think of more ....

p.s. if there is already a thread about this I'm sorry, but I wanted to start a fresh thread anyway (I don't really care for replying to people who sent a message in 2005 lol)

Psycho
Psycho II
Psycho III
Psycho IV
Psycho (1998 remake)

The Pit and the Pendulum(1991) There isn't many movies about the Spanish Inquisition.

Psycho (original version)
The Pit and the Pendulum
Halloween
Scream

My favorite is Francis Ford Coppola's lush Dracula. I like any movie with Gary Oldman, and this is one of his classic performances

I don't normally like horror films, but there are a few exceptions.

Jacob's Ladder

Let the Right One In/Let Me In (both original and remake were pretty good)

I don't like horror movies generally, but for some reason I do like zombie movies.

Carnival of Souls

the horror must be leavened with a bit of hilarity for me to be able to watch- so the horrible hilarities are as follows-

dawn of the dead [1978]
motel hell
the exorcist
reanimator [international uncut version]
theatre of blood

a decidedly NON-hilarious but still entertaining horror flick was "Seconds..." - downright chilling.

The exorcist is the scariest movie I've ever seen brrrrrr

Maybe you would like Drag me to Hell, some people thought it was funny (I think because of a scene with a cat, and the make-up in some scenes), personally tho I was too scared to be amused lol

Great movie, not typical horror movie, very unique.

It made me think of a shirt I saw yesterday in ThinkGeek lol check it out http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-appare ... eric/ae5e/

Friday the 13th 6: Jason Lives
Friday the 13th 7: The New Blood
Friday the 13th 8: Jason Takes Manhattan
Jason Goes To Hell
Hellraiser 1 through 6
Mirrors
Prom Night (Original)

LOL, yeah -- they receive so much hate, and only because they're different... All they want to do is eat brains; is that so wrong?

For some reason this is now making me want to see if Netflix has "Shawn of the Dead."

I haven't seen that one, I like the actor tho (Simon Pegg), I have another of his movies, Hot Fuzz.

The Hitcher (original)

The Thing (remake)

Angel Heart

Frankenstein (the DeNiro version)

Cthulhu

Re-Animator

Nosferatu (original)

The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari (both original and remake)

Shadow Of The Vampire

Highwaymen

The Wolfman (original)

The Beast Within

Just to name a few.

I had never heard of this one so I checked on Imdb and someone gives this advice, which I may follow, sounds like a good idea:

I highly recommend watching this as part of a double feature. First, watch Murnau's original 1922 masterpiece, "Nosferatu", then watch "Shadow of a Vampire." You will appreciate "Shadow of a Vampire" a lot more (or maybe vice versa).
