I've no plans this halloween, so a night in and some scary flicks with the lady will have do to. Name a few please. We've already watched altered states, jacobs ladder, the hellraisers, and most of the steven king films. |

hmm... it takes a lot to actually scare me. I don't know if a proper "horror" movie ever actually has. I remember biting down my straw for the whole movie while I was watching the Blair Witch Project in the theatre. But a lot of people don't like that one as much so I dunno... I found certian parts of Mulholland Drive and Inland Empire by David Lynch pretty disturbing. Not necessarily scary though. You should just watch all Lord Of Teh Rings extended editions in sucession. |

The Ring, by far |
||||||||
|
|

|

But Funny Games should be the antithesis of a horror movie. It's nice to see how Haneke has utterly failed in what he intended to do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
It's more a psychological thriller with added comment on how media controls our lives or whatnot, rather than a horror movie. |

No I mean, see, from an : ““Funny Games” is a direct assault on the conventions of cinematic violence in the United States [...] Funny Games’ is an anti-genre film,” Haneke told me over lunch on his last day in New York. “It moves like a thriller, it has a thriller’s structure, but at the same time it comments on itself. A movie is always a manipulation, regardless of whether it’s a biopic or a romantic comedy, and ‘Funny Games’ takes this manipulation as its primary subject.” [...] Largely because of its preoccupation with violence as entertainment, “Funny Games” has been compared with Stanley Kubrick’s “Clockwork Orange.” Haneke himself, however, views “A Clockwork Orange” as a noble failure. “I’m a huge Kubrick fan, but I find ‘A Clockwork Orange’ a kind of miscalculation, because he makes the brutality so spectacular — so stylized, with dance numbers and so on — that you almost have to admire it,” he told me. “I read somewhere — I’m not sure if it’s true — that Kubrick was completely shocked when he saw how the public reacted to ‘A Clockwork Orange,’ and that he even tried to have the film recalled. It became a cult hit because people found its hyperstylized violence somehow cool, and that was certainly not what Kubrick had intended.” And the problem here is I think the exact same thing happened with Funny Games. The tormentors are pretty cool really, with all their sass and whatnot. I love Haneke, and this doesn't make it a bad film, just not really what he intended. Still it's probably my least favourite. |

"The Haunting" (1967) was pretty scary and good imo. |
||||||||

poltergeist when i was kid then HUNGER with bowie and denuve then EVENT HORIZON |
||||||||

Funny games is good. I kind of recoiled at some of the bits in that. The Painkiller track in the opening scene is excellent also. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Event Horizon was scary at times indeed. Funny Games is very very unsettling, but I don't think scary is the right word. |

Films don't scare me anymore - Silence of The Lambs was probably the last, when that bird is walking around in the pitch black with that nut behind her. When I was young Psycho, Evil Dead, Dead and Buried, Codename the Soldier - late seventies/early eighties "snuff" and horror was the best time for scary movies. Since then, they've lost the art, gore has taken over and making a loud noise seems to be the only way to make people jump these days. Something original would be nice, Nightmare on Elm Street was original in its own way. |

is by far the scariest movie I've ever seen, it's painful to actually watch it, I almost gave up at mid point of the movie but then I remembered that I was from the male sex and then I watched the whole thing, not recommended if you are a girlie man, a woman or scared of ghosts. |

Mulholland Drive, that part where they leave the dinner and that disfigured woman in black comes out of the corner scared the living shit out of me, it was so unexpected and mind blowing, it's my favorite movie of ever. |

i will be watching the abominable dr. phibes, dr. phibes rises again and the witchfinder general (again) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
now you have to make a movie that comments on violence and fails, so the cycle will continue |
||||||||
|
|

I won't do it, I think violent movies are cool. |

Am I the only one who was scared shitless when viewing The Shining for the first time? I've seeh it several times, so the movie doesn't really effect me anymore, but the first time I saw it, it was probably the most scary and dreadfully real presentation of the devil/pure evil that I've ever seen on film. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Whichever psycho it was that the mom or aunt or whatever was in the woodpile with a machete stuck in her mouth. The movie probably really really sucked, but I saw that when I was probly 8 and I still think about that every time I go into a dark basement. |

Have an evening of old b&w horror films... Frankenstein, Creature From the Black Lagoon, The Mummy etc. |

"Event Horizon" scared the living fuck out of me at the cinema, and I wasn't that young, and then it later came on the TV and I said to my wife "Oh you have to watch this, it scared the living etc etc" and we both found it faintly ridiculous... hmm. I think any old Hammer Horror films are good for Halloween, I am a big fan of "Halloween II", the one that has nothing to do with Michael Myers,... but scariest film... the original "The Grudge" whatever it was called scared me quite a bit... arty points for me as I mention "Onibaba" which is atmospheric and fairly scary...there's a bit in the otherwise fairly risible "Exorcist III" that makes it worth watching. Oh Phantasm, I or II. Original "Hills Have Eyes"...? Actually, scariest film, , or |

How the fuck can you people have been scared by Event Horizon?!?! That's that "AAARHRHARHRHRH! Our spaceship opened a portal.. TO HELL!!!!" It was one of the most funnybad movies I've ever seen! Thin plot, crap ass effects, and not a single scary second in it. |
||||||||
|

I think it works at the cinema if you've not heard anything about it and it was 1997. |

Audition. Inland Empire was very disturbing. Cannibal Holocaust. Also some episodes of x-files, the early ones. Horror doesnt really have to be especially clever. |
||||||||

fire walk with me still freaks me out, that film has a fucking serious sense of dread going on. original version of the haunting is indeed a pant-browner, remake is one of the worst films i've ever seen though |
||||||||
|

thats not true. that part where he has to crawl into that dark tunnel to fix some electrical circuit is scary. |

Horror Movies are always a bit unsettling in the begining when you don't know what is going on and then they always dissapoint me more and more towards the end. The Shining is pretty cool. The mood and enviroments in the whole movie is very unsettling. Excorcist scared me like fuck when i was younger too. Now its just funny. |
||||||||
|
|

|

there is actual, genuine suspense in that movie, you cant take that away. |
||||||||
|
|

event horizon... now thats a good one ! exorcist is a scary one too |

The Haunting is a pant-browner you say? I'm in need of a new pair of browns so I'll have to check it. Howbout House of 1000 Corpses? Something about that movie scares the living shit out of me, particularly the end with Dr. Satan. That shit is whacked out, which baffles me as to how Rob Zombie fucked up Halloween so badly. |

Ju-on 1 & 2 without a doubt for personal reasons. Others that have the chilly vibe are Kubrick's the Shining, Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, and The Eye had 2 very creepy moments in it. The Ring remake was better than the original for once. |

rosemary's baby, i thought that was supposed to be a comedy |

once when i was a kid i watched total recall on drugs and it scared the shit out of me |

i don't know if a serious answer is allowed at this point, but: the star wars christmas special. |

Halloween III is the one without Myers. I agree, it's a good film, my 2nd favourite of the franchise. Optimus--that travesty should never be mentioned. |
||||||||
|

|

I could see that happening. |
