Yesterdays Halloween tv was shocking. the only thing any of the big five UK channels showed was the original Halloween which is pretty tame by todays standards. I've realised that it's hard to find a chilling horror movie these days unless you find a seedy old video store and scan through the titles. It's normally the much less famous films (ie. Children of the Corn & The Ring) rather then the box office high-grossing ones (eg. Freddy vs Jason, 28 Days Later) which are genuinely terrifying.
I've seen too many gore movies (ie. Saw I,II,III,IV) which don't really make you scared so what I'm looking for is something which will scare me the way The Shining did when I first saw it. I crave the suspense.
Ideas please?

I always thought the remake of The Hills Have Eyes was good.
The Exorcism of Emily Rose is a creepy one too, based on a true story.

"The Lion King" is actually very scary, especially the bits with the Scar evil lion.

I've heard that Candyman is quite good. Has anyone seen that? What about the remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre? The original was awesome but I fear that might have turned it into a crappy slasher gore-fest

Dario Argento - Sleepless It is fucking excellent. Not a bloodbath classic, but more mature kind of horror.
For mind numbing I suggest The new Chainsaw massacre (lots of blood and is pretty good if you treat it as not a remake of the old on but as an entirely different film that resembles the first one ...)
Day of the dead (my fav) Land of the dead (the new one, its fucking rad rad rad) The thing !!!
Awww many I got some movie boners now look what you did too me !
I loovvvvvvvvvvvvvvve horror movies man ...

Last night I rented "Dagon" again, one of my favourites and one of the few HP Lovecraft adaptations that is even vaguely Lovecraftian and is nicely creepy even whilst being hammy. Because it's hammy even, I don't know.
Then tonight I've got Honogurai mizu no soko kara, oh yes.

I've heard that Cannibal Holocaust is good, mainly because it's been banned in so many countries and is so notorious. I don't suppose anyone's seen it...?

is it quite scary? I find that these baneed horror movies are usually quite disappointing by the time I come to watch them. The Exorcist was probably the biggest disappointment - I dont recall being scared once during that. It was just farcical and lacked suspense. I've seen scarier X-Files episodes ...

Depending on what version you're watching. I bought "Cannibal Ferox". It's pretty much the same movie up until the part where the gutting begins. In Cannibal Ferox that's where they decide to end the movie, abruptly (it quickly skips to the later part where they're rescued by the people in the canoe). I was sorely disappointed. Either way, it's fun in a campy sort of way.
Re: Candyman. Scared the shit out of me when I was a youngster. Especially the first time we watched it, the video was a bit fucked and everytime Candyman spoke it sounded like a fart. I reviewed it recently, though it wasn't especially scary (I think one reaches a point after watching so many horror movies that you don't really watch it for the scare, because nothing can scare you anymore, but rather for other elements which might make it good), it did have this sense of drama which was pretty good.

Yes, I picked that up for £3 in Tescos a while back. Only real Lovecraft adaptation I've seen that keeps the feel of the original.

nice. Is the spine of the Cannibal Holocausr movie in Cannibal Ferox good? I have a feeling from the clips I've seen that it's not particularly well filmed and is sorely dated by todays standards. I could be wrong though!
