The Evil Dead trilogy rules over all other horror movies.
Evil Dead 1, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness- not only are they a bloody good time they have interesting characters making smart decisions which is the hallmark of a good horror movie. I cant tell you how sick i get of stupid motherf**ckers in horror movies making stupid decisions.
Cheap jump out scares and corny scripts don't do it for me. I can't stand movies like Halloween's and Nightmare on Elm Streets. I find them so cheesy and horrible. There is a few exceptions. Like the first two Child's Play movies I enjoyed.
However the movies that freak me out are more the psychological or ambience type scares.
The Omen Series is to me by far the eeriest movies I've ever watched. The Exorcist movies are pretty good as well.
Quick note about evil dead trilogy- if you're watching it for the first time start with Evil Dead 2. you wont miss anything and its the best one of the series.
the abandoned.... truely a scary and fucked up movie, Not many went to because not many people would recommend a mind fuck but check it out, this shit gave me bad dreams for a while and I am pretty skeptical of scary movies.
honerable mention: darkness, session 9
all this time and still i haven't got a better move to add, then rose red... nothing is really scarry anymore..
although, pulse DID have me looking over my shoulder while pissing... but i was stoned as hell, and the only one awake in my house (which has horrible lighting) and pretty much every 'portal' (watch the movie you'll see what i mean) imaginable in my house....
i think some of the best horror movies (atleast of what is considered horror these days) are the ones that end with the problem still there, like in pulse. i guess the best horror movies have always ended that way (as an example, aliens come, everyone of them gets wiped out but the last scene shows a single egg starting to open)
Haxan
E.T.
cant say really about horror movies but you should check out "I Spit on Your Grave". It was definitely a different type of movie..LOL.
I've gotta cast my lot for Event Horizon. That one has a good mix of creepy suspense, mind bending concepts and gorryness.
That flick gave me a few bad dreams and I saw it when I was in my late teens.
Try frame by frame on the distress call video that the characters have to clean up before they can watch it (fucked up stuff in there).
I'd like to post about some recent movies that are scary but all the horror genre is now is a series of gratuitous blood bath scenes.
The first Saw was pretty good but mostly just for the great plot twist at the end.
Cronenburg's Shivers scared the ever loving piss out of me on my first viewing, and still does.
man I miss samwhore as far as scary movies I say Cross roads with Britney and Evil bong had me scared shitless , I was about to runout yelling Im not paying for this shit, but then chong came on and I was yelling yeah chong you can do it, Resist that bitch.
the new halloween was gorey, some scary parts but definately worth checking out. Excorism of emily rose, kind of boring, but don't watch it at night by yourself and half drunk/high ;) bad combo... you'll shit in your pants if you sit through the whole thing, and watch it around 2 in the morning ;)
yeah Session 9 was freaky, anybody mention the Shining yet or Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer was very disturbing.
Skeleton Key was the last one to really gives me the jeeves--that old 78 record with the old slave saying over and over "it's time lord, the time is now...." just thinking about it scares me. :D
Hey watch the Abandoned with the lights out and the sound turned up! Its scary as shit! For real this is one of the best in a while!
As a kid, Poltergeist, the Exorcist and It's Alive creeped me out. Freddy Krueger was pretty scary when he wanted to back then.
I'm one of the people who loved The Blair Witch Project, it's one of the few movies that really scared me. That and 1408, because I've had bad trips before.
Spoorloos is really scary in a psychogical way if you can stand the film's slow pace.
Also, not so scary, but a good movie: The I Inside
Hostel part 2
scariest movie EVER - In cinema when it came out so HIGH with mates watching THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT.
Ive never watched a fim and been scared ever, its more comical than anything else chucky, freddy etc etc etc
Neways I was watchin the blair witch project and i was so high and the part where there friend goes missing and their calling JOSH JOSH JOSH and you hear him in the night calling for them and the children screaming and i had my friend behind me (he changed seats) and was touching the back of my neck freaking me out.
I SHAT MYSELF nearly literally!! I was scared i admit nothing has ever touched that. LOL just thinking about it :)
Keep toking, keep smiling, keep burning :jointsmile:
If you want gore, you can't look anywhere else but DEAD ALIVE.
Its great. I love when he busts out the lawnmower and goes wild!
If you want GORE
1. Hostel 1 and 2
2. Saw 1,2,3,4
3. The Descent
4. Dead alive - timothy balme, fly guy said it
5. evil dead, dawn of the dead, land of the living dead
The shining is a top horror film
there just isnt any scary films any more
The worst movie I've seen this year, it was complete crap.Quote:

Pet Cemetery, The Shining, or The Thing
Stephen King's IT... totally fucked my head up when i was 6 or 7... watched it on T.V. on accident...
Being older it doesn't bother me anymore though.
As far as Blair Witch and all this other crap, that's not scary..
i'm sorry.
The other older movie's mentioned are also good choices.
Also i have reason to believe you are more scared when your actually at the Movies.. renting it on dvd and watching it in your house makes it less scary. But still can be scary.
Differn't things scare differn't people.
I would think the majority of the people would be scared the most of something that can actually happen to them.
I am currently writing a movie and will be directing it in the next year or two that exactly goes in that direction... It can happen to anyone. Very original work.
To comment, i do personally think 28 Days Later was done very well. Danny Boyle did a very good job on that film. All the older "classics" as good aswell.
But i am still awaiting that one move that really does it... and i am sure most of the world is also... It will come though, just be patient. I am still working on it :thumbsup:
No, way Cheezburger girl's old thread. .....Kool......
Scaryest movie I seen lately was that new paris hilton movie. I got drug into a movie on a date, when i saw paris I was like oh shit grabed my date and said "we gotta go". She said why its supposed to be scary. I said "Im scared shitless thats why were going to see Rambo again".
i'd say 1408 made me jump a few times and Mr.Brooks is not terribly scary but very excellent movie i loved it best i seen in a while
Scariest movie ever would have to be a ...real one...
Cannibal Holocaust
Cannibal Holocaust - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Its a documentary filmed in the amazon rainforest.
It has footage of women being raped by huge sharp rocks... and real animal slaughters and shit
its so fucked up
I've tried to watch it two different times and have never watched more than 10 minutes of it.
"the director, Deodato, was arrested on obscenity charges. He was later accused of making a snuff film because rumors claimed some actors were killed on camera. Although Deodato was later cleared, the film was banned in Italy, the UK, Australia, and several other countries due to graphic gore, sexual violence, and because six animals were killed on camera."
I'd say stuff like
The Shining
The Strangers
Movies like The Descent and 28 Days Later gave me a good fright :jointsmile:
Since I was a small child, I've never understood how other humans can experience fear or fright from watching a movie.
If I had to pick one movie that indicates great concern for our well-being in real life, the movie I choose is the documentary Jesus Camp.
The Grudge gave me the shudders.
Bambi, that Thumper was a right evil B'stard
Cheers
NCM
The Orphanage.
When I was ten my parents went away for the weekend and I stayed at my friend Larrys house...Larry was a year older than me...We busted his moms chops,(Lucy,RIP,a real cool lady),for a couple of hours to take us to see the Exorcist...
I hung tough,but that was the most scared I've ever been at a movie in my entire life...
If you get a chance,check out Exorcist 3,a movie that didn't get much play but so much scarier than most of the stuff they put out today...:420thought:
Mine? id have to say the video of my birth, YUCK man.. Some shit parents shouldn't show they're kids.Quote:

I've been meaning to check out Session 9, and The Orphanage
... Also really wanna see Mirrors
The Shining and The Thing are classics, the remake of Red Dragon was pretty damn creepy, one that isnt mentioned a lot is 1 hour photo with robn williams, he actually does a good job and the movie really gets to you
I don't find blood and gore scary at all. When I think of scary movies, Poltergiest 2 comes to mind. I was probably only 10 or 11 when I first sawt this and the movie still sends chills up my spine. The old man is fd up.
More recently, I thought The Ring was really creepy. The colors and the camera effects gave it a really eerie feeling.
It's not the scariest movie ever but i saw the strangers and i liked it, worth a watch imo. The sound effects and tension are awesome.
I'm a huge HELLRAISER fan...though they might not be that scary they are really good films at least the first 2 of them, maybe even part 3... I stopped watching after 5 came out, lame as shit after part 3.....
IMHO most American films in the Horror genre concentrate too much on gore as the catalyst for fear...Since we are so desensitized to violence these days those images don't resonate fear in us like they used to...
If you want to be scared by a film look for Asian Horror, the Japanese and Korean's make some awesome horror, They have what I call the "Creep Factor" where they don't use as many gore tactics as American Film makers, they are far more creepier....
Here are a few flix I like:
HELLRAISER 1 & 2
PHANTASAM
OLD BOY-(KOREAN)
JU-ON-(JAPANESE)
MASTER'S OF HORROR - DREAMS IN A WITCH HOUSE
ROSEMARY'S BABY
sorry too stoned to remember any more
D:thumbsup:
a little off the question but theres a new horror movie coming out January 9th and it looks pretty good
The Unborn (2009)
The Shining, not much stuff scares me anymore but this did...when I was younger lots of other films did.
lol, when I watched the Shining my friend had seen it before and he mentioned the bit where the guy in a bear suit is giving someone head or something and cos it happens late in the film he was so scared it wasn't gonna happen and he'd look nuts :D
Oh yeh also Ed Gein was a weird ass film...
