[Captin]

I can't really put anything down, horror movies just make me laugh. I'm trying to think of some movies that actually scared me... all i can think of is alien. I'm sure there have been others that made me jump.
EDIT: oh yeah the blair witch scared me when i watched it.

[friendowl]

the blair witch

children of the corn

creepshow

hostel

freddy part 1

[az666]

None of those films actually scared me....they were just my favorite horror films...

Yeah I have to agree with Nightmare on Elm St for my 5th
love those films.

[slipknotpsycho]

mm....
dawn of the dead (new one)
day of the dead (new one, don't know if there is an old one)
saw (it was just twisted kinda falls under "it scared the shit out of you with out showing you any thing it was the thought that fucked with you.")
i can't really think of a 5th favorite, i guess i'd have to say candyman, but only because i watched it when i was 7ish and for the next few years you wouldn't catch me dead in the bathroom with the door closed, nor would you find me ever look into a mirror.

[Tom Swierzbinski]

The Exorcist

I have seen more, but thats the only one which has genuinely scared the bejesus out of me. Ive never had my Bejesus back since :(

[jamstigator]

Lol, I saw The Exorcist when it first hit the theaters back in the 70s. I think I was like 11 or 12 years old, somewhere around there. I got so scared in some parts I had to just look away from the screen. I was really terrified! No other movie has scared me that much since then, although Alien on the big screen when it first came out (and before the plot was well-known) was also pretty scary.

[Stedric]

Yeah for the most part I don't like horror movies, though some I'll acknowledge are well done I just hate the idea that guts and horror are the same time. There is a difference between being gross and being scary.

That being said, I'm quite fond of:

The Exorcist
Evil Dead II

The latter of which was more amusing then anything. In fact its been a long time since I laughed so hard, my stomach actually hurt the next day.

[JazzNKB]

Horror movies I love:

Saw I & II (III comes out in 4 days :D)
The Ring
The Grudge
Dawn of the Dead
Donnie Darko
Secret Window
Many others...


Horror movies that scare me:

The Omen
Dark Water

[yabatab]

None of those films actually scared me..
This is not about the horror movies that scare you, just the ones you
like. I'm always on the look out for obscure films or ones I have forgot
about, so please keep listing the ones you have seen and enjoyed.
But if they scare you thats cool too.

[UKdruglover]

Well, i think that only one or two movies are considered scary and they are the ones that "hit close to home" and have some form of relativity in your everyday life. My top 5 scary/horror movies are:

1: The Blair Witch Project
2: Saw - The collection
3: Dawn of the Dead + Land of the Dead
4: Texas Chainsaw Massacre
5: The Amityville Horror (New Version)

I don't necessarily go in that order but you could also add a few others in there like The Descent, The Grudge, The Ring collection, Devils Rejects, A Nightmare on Elm Street collection, The Exorcist and even to a lesser extent "From Dusk till Dawn" as a comedy horror movie that is funny aswell as a bloodfest.

:thumbsup: :eek: :stoned: :question:

[dark0ne]

horror movies have to scare me to at least be good. Most of them don't scare me, because i have been watching them since i was a kid.

1.Exorcisism of emily rose. freaked me the fuck out
2.the omen. the one from the 60's. freaked me the fuck out
3.the blair witch project. evrybody was scared to go into the woods after that one.
4.The Exorcist. was pretty scary
5.poltergeist 2. When kain road by the house and it started raining.... whoo!

4.nightmare on elm street.some of my favorite movies are from this series.
5.Hellraiser. pinhead is my hero.

[orangeman]

I cant believe no one said Friday the 13th!. I love Jason Voorhees. The first 5 Friday the 13th Movies are my favorite if I have to pick 5, but really I love all of them and own all of them on DVD and VHS (no really) lol. I think I really like him because his weapon of choice is a machette, the hockey mask idea is just genious and the fact that he's undead :D.

[yabatab]

^Friday the 13th a classic horror flick, I love that series of films.

[dark0ne]

so many good horror flicks. the first 2 or 3 friday the 13 movies were good, but after that they got cheesy until jason goes to hell.

the blob
the people under the stairs
haunted house, from like 1962
the origonal wax museum
twilight zone move- when they showed the chick without a mouth.

[mrdevious]

I'm not really into horror movies, but I thought Saw 1 was really good. Though I saw it more as a suspense/mystery.
Saw 2 had a pretty good premise, and the basic structure of the whole plan was well done, but I felt the parts with the actual victims/participants involved was just a snuff film with a lot of puzzles.

[MyMARYJANE]

none.
haha

[lowryderulez]

when i was 6 i watched chuckie and thats scared the shit outta me, i still remember holding a mars bar behind the couch. After that pet cemetry but nowadays all horrors are just fun to watch...

[bucknuts1870]

Audition, I have been wanting to see this movie for years now but cannot find where to get it. It sounds like it is as good as everyone says it is.

[OniEhtRedrum781]

Night Of The Living Dead (remake)
Dawn of the Dead (both versions)
Devil's Rejects
Ichi The Killer (fuckin' amazing Japanese movie)

[LIP]

I cant believe no one said Friday the 13th!. I love Jason Voorhees.

I wore the "Jason Mask" on stage when i was performing with my band. We were mental... and it really added to the atmosphere. Shitty pic, but i dont care rofl.

[psychocat]

Pretty much nothing can actualy scare me short of hanging from a cliff by my fingertips or a near miss on my bike at 70+ MPH

However I love horror movies and have seen every top movie out there.

I like in no particular order

Bad Taste (Just because it is in extremely bad taste)
Return of the Living Dead (Very smart very fast zombies and one of the funniest lines ever spoken in a horror movie)
Braindead (Novel use of a rotary mower)
Evil Dead I II and III Army of Darkness (I love Ash the reluctant hero )
From Dusk Till Dawn (Not technicaly a horror movie but what else are vampires)

I choose these because they are each unique and in thier own way they brought something new to the genre

[Fr33kMan]

In no order:

The Exorcist (because it just makes me laugh every time)
The Omen
Holloween
Silence of the Lambs
The Shinning (redrum) :D

Honourable mention:

Friday the 13th
The Ring
Rosemary's Baby
