not really... ;-) maybe it was the vibe that I was in at the time, dunno... it's interesting though, I think Cannibal Holocaust didn't really affect me as much as I Spit On Your Grave. Maybe I'm making differences in disturbing violence and "ridiculous" violence... Hence the fact that I'm not sure if you saw the unedited version... :-) |

Nightmare on Elmstreet 1-6(and new nightmare), Evil Dead 1-3, Braindead and Bad Taste is the best!!! Anyone seen 120 days of sodom? Also Called Salo.. That is one sick fucking movie. Watch it and your life will change forever. Take a look here: http://us.imdb.com/Title?0073650 |

I liked the Friday the 13th films, Freddy Krueger....and I like most Stephen King films, Pet Cemetary was good, as was Sleepwalkers. Nightbreed is another one of my favourites, although not strictly the scariest! |

hmm, I used to love gore movies like Dead Alive, Zombie, Evil Dead II, etc. but don't really get into them too much now. I'd rather see something that is truly scary. Although I have a hard time defining what that actually is, like I consider 'the Birds' a genuinely scary flick but it's more the suspensefulness of it than anything that's scary about it. Also, I consider the Thing scary, as well, but I think that's just suspense as well. So what do you guys think makes a movie genuinely scary and not just suspensful??? I've seen most of the films you guys have mentioned and nothing thats been brought up is something I'd consider scary. I'd be interested in hearing what you guys thought because I've actually been thinking about this for quite some time. I think what it might be is that things that we'd be scared of in the society around us (terrorism for example) blown out of proportion are what make great scary flicks. That's why movies like the monster movies were so popular back in the 30's-50's; because it was something that didn't exist in our society but had the potential of possibly existing and thats what made it so frightening. Sure, Vampires don't exist but the thought that something like Dracula actually might exist walking along the masses and blending in is a frightening thought. That doesn't really fly now, though, because our society has became much more sophisticated than it was back then, movies about that sort of thing are basically just action flicks now (Godzilla or Anaconda for example). eh, at any rate, some movies that were truly unsettling to me would be: The Haunting: (the original one) that movie scared me out of my witts because of the eerie atmosphere to it and way it slowly builded to the end with the one room and no one would go in it. Eraserhead: again, eerie atmosphere but I think what was so scary about it was more the psychological aspect of it than anything actually physical. the Shining was the same way. Night of the Living Dead: I know its |

damnitt, it cut me off. been mentioned already but it was good, too. the birds: already mentioned but I think it's a very scary movie. food for thought: the last part of the birds where the people are stuck in the house with the birds coming at the house from all directions was a direct inspiration to Romero to create Night of the Living Dead. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

yeah, i really dug The Birds - i like the old hitchcock films - as i said earlier, the robert wise "the haunting" is VERY VERY good - a MUST. there does seem to be a lack of psychologically scary films these days - frankly, BWProject was only good in the last 30 seconds, and i actually preferred the trashier sequel...well i will say more when someone else posts. the langoliers is GREAT to watch when stoned - that atmosphere is second-to-none :) |

oops, sorry Marlowe, I didn't realize you'd already posted that one, it's a great, though. I love the movies about haunted houses if they're done right. What is the Haunting of Hell House about?? I've never heard of that before but it sounds cool. ooh, I just thought of another one; Carnival of Souls. Anyone seen that?? It's really good, about a woman who survives a car crash that she shouldn't have, only to find out that a phantom is following her around everywhere she goes. It has a lot of eerie music in it as well. |
||||||||

i've seen Carnival Of SOuls in Blockbuster, but wasn't sure whether or not to rent it -- so you recommend it - next time i see it, i will rent it and hopefully enjoy it :) for a cult classic, check out BASKET CASE :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

anybody remember Re-Animator and From Beyond? always enjoyed those... Basket Case is pretty funny, thou after seeing iy again after years it doesnt seem to have as much impact, plus the DVD has better lighting, seems to hurt the dark sleazy mood of the film. i saw Alien when i was a kid... the only time i can remember being really scared. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls isn't really a horror flick, but if you can sit thru the first hour of the movie, you will be rewarded with the sickest, sarcatsic, most absurd, perverted, fucked up ending to any movie ever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didn't much like Re-Animator, but i didn't watch it all, so i'm in much of a position to comment on it. i will definately seek out BVD -- sounds like a good ending :) but please, elaborate just a little! |
||||||||
|

I've heard that the ANimator and re-animator are both really good, never seen either of them, though. I've seen Basket Case in the movie store before, never thought much about renting it. I'll pick it up next time I want some good gore-splatter fare!!!! hehe, I'm suprised no ones mentioned the king of the gore genre; HG Lewis. Blood Feast, 2000 Maniacs, Wizard of Gore, all classics!! He's currently in post-production on Blood Feast II and it should be coming out sometime this summer. It was filmed around the bottom of Alabama and the top of FLorida and new a guy that was going to film school in Mobile, AL who got to work on it. I'm excited to see what it'll be like, 20 yrs. or more since the last lewis film and almost 40yrs since Blood Feast. You can download a trailer for it somewhere on the net, just do a search on blood feast II on google. |

The Exorcist is pretty scary! (for real) Independence Day i still have nightmares because of that movie I which I hadnt seen it (thats the Will Smith one with the aliens in other words the crappy one). |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

Hellraiser was cool for the first two, then well...let's not talk about that. and Cube rules. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i am extreme zombie film fan, i've seen many and love them highly. dawn of the dead stands up there with bad taste, cemetery man, and night of the living dead. CUBE does rock too. |

braindead ain't that bloody compared to Cannibal Holocaust |
||||||||

|
|
Evil Dead II the Shining yes but Hellraiser II: Hellbound woo hoo yeah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
requiem for a dream was rather startling i thought...though it isnt really a horror movie.. the shining's probably my favorite event horizon scared me when i saw it in the theatre...mostly because i was young..and things are always scarier in the theatre alien was great..i liked the second one too..but that was more of an action movie |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I'm watching a classic 50s horror - Invasion Of The Body Snatchers... brilliant movie. |
||||||||
|

K, i'm a huge horror fan, i'm surprised i haven't seen: return of the living dead even mentioned!!!!?!!!!!!!??!?!?! the first one was great, the sequals surely suck, although 3 was aight. DAWN OF THE DEAD and Night RULLE!!!!!!!! hands down. Ramero; was :( the king at one point. I sure hope Dead Reckoning gets made. Dawn was sooooo great, i love how it poked fun of american culture etc...day was a lil weak but really gory which i loved can't forget evil dead either... night of the creeps...jesus, we should create a board just for this stuff |

ewwwwwwwww u actually like resident evil?? i only like the twat shot at the end of the flick... |

yeh, it wasn't horror though i saw it more as an action movie |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i saw it more as poop smeared on film, and then 20 or so people acting all happy over their bowel movement. I don't think the movie should have been a carbon copy of the game, but they completely fucked it up, and i can only wait to see the unfortunate sequal. What was/is Capcom thinking?? paul anderson should be beaten with a stick |

I'm watching "Demons" right now and next is "Zombie 2". But the best horror movie ever is "Return of the living dead 3" That is a must see! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Return Of The Living Dead Part 3 best horror movie ever?! The first one kicks its ass.... ...I was rewatching Demons the other - great slice of 80s Italian gore - I mean to buy the sequel some time... "Zombie 2", which one is that? Zombie Flesh Eaters? It's hard to keep track, because they all wanted to jump onto Dawn Of The Dead's coattails (which is called Zombie in some countries) And right now, Carrie has burnt down the prom on tv |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, Dario Argento really got on GAR to make Dawn, and somehow he was allowed to bring it to Europe and edit it to his liking....His cut has a little less/more gore depending on which one you've got. It was released as Zombi 2 in Europe instead of Dawn b/c (and rumored) that dario wanted all the credit for the click himself.... on my 20th aniversary ed. of dawn he's even credited as writting the music w/ goblin...i which i highly doubt he did |

How about some cheesy horror/sci-fi Tremors I, II AND III !!!!! the best movie ever made, hands down and Critters.... YAY! |

i think my favorite horror movie would have to be 'groping' its a short film alex proyas did in school ..great atmosphere actually...you can see it yourself and while youre at it...watch too its not so much a horror film.. but its still very cool ...and keep in mind while you watch these that he made them when he was *17 years old* |

"The Perfect Storm" by Steven King. You know thats some freaky shit. "Young Frankenstein" Mel Brooks ( haha) |

its really hard to think of movies that have actually fucked with me. a few right off would be alien aliens alien 3 event horizon cube jacobs ladder shining communion event horizon sphere (book more than the movie) prince of darkness the thing one or two x-files probaby Honestly, the messed with me the most was a book called House of Leaves. One night I actually could not fall asleep. My girlfriend was actually worried about me. please check this book out. words can not describe... |

talented mr. ripley nah, it's susepense. but it was the most disturbing thing I've seen in awhile, while remaining somewhat subtle. for the people who've been mentioning requiem for a dream- it's all spectacle. just as bad as a horror movie that can only rely on gore to be scary. the formula was to make a film that allowed them to show BIG FUCKED UP THINGS on a degenerative scale thus shocking and thus providing 'memorable entertainment'. cheap, immature filmmaking. it may be entertaining (depending on the viewer. I was bored), but it can't be taken seriously. it just can't. |
||||||||
|

|||||||||
| |||||||||

I just brought Requiem for a Dream on video. Other picks I have would be Audiiton, Hole which is very good existential thriller/horror, In the Mouth of Madness (the neo HP Lovecraft), Crash (David Cronenberg) and his early stuff, David Lynch's Eraserhead (I have yet to sit through it in a single sitting, its not as much horrifing as it messes with your sense of timing of realtity itself. Then there's Ring 2 (havent been able to access the first) which some freaky stuff down a well One of the best recent horrors I have seen another film from New Zealand "Irrefutable Truth About Demons" To me it was the first true rightful sucessor to the Hell Raiser series. |
