...must be some horrorfilm afficionados out there in MB
Land -- personally i am a great fan of Romero flicks and
Zombi flicks :)

Dawn of the Dead is one fantastic film!

The Kingdom by Lars von Trier. Horror and humor. Two for the
price of one ;)

the best humour/horror i can think of would have to be
braindead - that film has everything - GREAT special fx and
buckets of humour to boot :)

Braindead is brilliant. the bloodiest movie ever made, also
one of the funniest :) and it's actually directed by Peter
Jackson (LOTR)

I always liked the Friday the 13th series... nice, campy
fun. And the character of Jason Voorhees is just classic, a
lunatic with a hockey mask... timeless. I can't count how
many nightmares I've had with that crazy fucker chasing me
through the rock quarry by my house. Fucking scary rock
quarry...

it's funny seeing a young kevin bacon getting killed on his
bunkbed in the first Friday -- and then there is the film
debut of a certain Johnny Depp in A Nightmare On Elm Street
:) AND.... a certain Brad Pitt starring in Cutting Class,
another "classic" 80s B-Movie horror flick

They should make a semi sequal to the never ending story,
but make it all evil and mostly staring that big evil wolf,
and they should make it without a happy ending, like the
wolf's powers triumph. When atrayu approached his cave, he
said the craziest wickedest stuff too, about humanity losing
hope so he can control them easier and stuff. And when he
talks his eyes get all big like he's gonna devour you.

romero is cool, braindead and bad taste are wicked too.

good film and good for scaring my misses. evil dead aint
truly horror but i love all 3. plenty more but i can't
think...

I've always wanted to see Hellraiser 4(Bloodline). But i
can't rent or buy it anywhere! and don't wanna have to buy
it off the internet just to see it damn it. I have
Hellraiser 1 on dvd, want nr 2 aswell, when i can afford it.
You have to see THE THING by John Carpender. It's one
of the best, if not the best horror movie ever made.

Hellraiser 5 made me angry I was so looking forward to them
expanding the story after 4 and then bam they give us a fake
movie with little or nothing to do with the Hellraiser
mythology..yeah Nightbreed was very cool too as was the Lord
of Illusions which I think is the most underrated of
Barker's flicks

4's better than I expected..I like the technocyber mixed
into the Barker horror
though if you were into the Hellraiser comics it would spoil
a bit of the mythology..i.e the Lament Configuration is not
as old as some of the stories were

Night of the Living Dead.....an old old b/w film that just
terrified me the first time i saw it as a kid. i think it
was the claustrophobic feeling of the people being trapped
in the house while the people that wanted to eat them were
trying to BREAK in. i believe it's a Romero film.

The Shinning was terrifying also, again for me i think it's
the scenario of the closed off from the world feeling,
CLAUSTROPHOBIA..eheheh i'm telling ya

The Thing, i watch all ze time it's on the Sci Fi channel (i
need to buy that DVD) it's great.....cold.....closed
off....hummmm this is reminding me of something.

i honestly tho have not seen a truly scary movie for a LONG
time, i don't mean gory, i mean SCARY. any suggestions
besides the ones already posted??

thx =)

the entity is scary as hell. it's supposible based on
a true story which is quite a distrubing thought. being
raped and beat up by an invisible force is just frightning
to think of....and i won't tell you the bizzare ending which
i highly doubt that happent for real.

Legend of Hell house is an old but scary movie. It has great
atmosphere. It's about a group of scientists/psychologists
who spend some time in a haunted house to check what the
f**k is going on there. Lovely creepy.

Of course the Barker/Jackson/Raimi/Carpenter/Romero fliks
rule too.

The only horror film that acctualy scared me was "the
Shinning".

I want to see that japanese horror film "the ring" that
someone hyped here a couple of weeks ago,It sounded like
good shit to me.But i gess it is really hard to find a copy
of that one.

Horror films don't scare me. I like really dark, unsettling

I heard Steven Spielberg bought the rights to The Ring and
is going to make an English version.

I love Braindead, Evil Dead 1 + 2, Night of the Living Dead,
The Shinning, Friday the 13th series, Halloween and those
really clichéd campy horror films from the 80s!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there is a Ring 2. I have to find the
Ring somehow, seen a review of it on SBS' Movie Show
(Australians will know what I'm talking about) and it seemed
very good.

There is also a game based on the movie on the Dreamcast...

i own Ring - not as good as the reviews led me to believe -
i have Ring 2 rented right now...and there is Ring 0, a
sequel.

i prefer hellraiser 5 to hellraiser 4.

PS the shining only has on N in the middle! :P

PPS if you ever see a film called The Doorway, I found the
main actor's email on IMDB, and he replied to the mail i
sent him! :D

i love the old version of the the haunting, dir. robert wise
-- really GREAT atmosphere -- and the house on haunted hill,
starring geoffrey rush is amazing too :)

yeah, dead alive is another title for braindead.

I personally used to be a big fan of Lucio Fulci, a director
from Italy, he did some really screwed up movies around the
late 70ies, early 80ies...
City Of The Living Dead
House By The Cemetary
The New York Ripper

quite disturbing stuff but it was cool in a way... :-)
especially since there were some really nice tunes in Fulci
movies, all composed by Fabio Frizzi... :-)
you should really check them out... :-)
early electronica in a way...

For the classic division I totally love "Dawn Of The Dead",
a masterpiece!!

The most disturbing film I've ever seen is called "I Spit On
Your Grave". You'll not get away without resting damages if
you watch this shitty flick...
horrible film, no gore, no blood, just total madness

is getting Zombie Flesh EAters 2 on uncute DVD, and i'll be
gettin a copy :) i have LOTS of goblin MP3s (a few albums)
and about 10 frizzi MP3s

you thought i spit on your grave disturbing? i really didn't
see much bad in it, and it's banned in Britain!

What do you think of the new Resident Evil movie? It looks
like garbage... ick. Too bad, I thought the games were so
atmospheric and brilliant, and the campy acting was kind of
fun in a way... had potential to be a nice, artsy movie, but
you can tell it's going to be a horrible Hollywood
production... sigh.

Dropkicking a zombie dog in mid air? Oh, that looks
brilliant...
