Favorite Horror movies?

[thejjbb]

John Carpenter's The Thing has the best jump scare ever, in my opinion.

The Shining is great for atmosphere, soundtrack, and Kubrick.

The 80's (Cronenberg) remake of the fly is totally gross-awesome.

Audition made me go WTF than almost any other movie ever.

What are your favorite horror movies?

[eraserhead]

Suspiria

The Guinea Pig: Flower of Flesh and Blood

Rosemary's Baby

Dead Alive/Braindead

[PaperSt.]

It- first scary movie I ever saw

Ringu, The Grudge 1 & 2 (real versions), Kairo- for my love of all thing Japanese

Almost any zombie flick- 28 days later especially for the cinematography, Les Revenants, Rec

The Shining- what thejjbb said

[broneck]

28 days later

High Tension for actual scariness (and for the "high tension") if not for the plot.

Halloween

Nightmare on Elm Street

Evil Dead 1 and 2

i love all horror movies, even the really really bad ones (I just watched the Hills Have Eyes remake, Jeepers Creepers, a couple of others...they don't even have to be remotely good to be awesome).

That being said I'm still trying to track down a shop that carries Lucio Fulci and Dario Argento's films.

Does anyone else think that the trailer for Ichii actually looks scary while the movie is just over the top goofy?

The shining was creepy for the most part, but the last half hour after jack nicholson goes stark raving mad spoils the film for me.

A lot of the scares in the shining also made very little sense or just seemed plain out of place.

My favourite horror movie of all time however, has got to be the original Japanese version of The Ring (Ringu). I saw it when i was 14 and i couldn't sleep for a week. That movie really gets under yr skin and just slowburn creeps you out with increasing intensity through the span of the movie.

Anything by George A. Romero.... you know what I mean.

Fright Night and Friday the 13th

[akuma no uta]

i love the saw films, absolutely great, but mostly i dig early 90's/late 80s slasher flicks, and campy 70s flicks. but for serious, last house on the left and cannibal holocaust own nearly every movie made since then.

For me the first scary film I saw when I was 8 was The Fog. Watched Ringu before the hype and even more scary on VHS tape and that blew me and scared the shit out of me. However, my all time favourite has to be the Shining followed by Ringu.

Most overrated horror film for me would be the original Wicker Man, and the Saw, Hostel crap.

the wicker man is great, and the saw/hostel crap i have a hard time even putting them in horror anymore, but a genre of their own, all i know is they are fucking enjoyable to watch.

[pragmatics]

High Tension was god awful in every way. Not only was it not scary, but it didn't make any sense. Any at all. None. It was one of the most illogical things I've ever seen put on film, and that's not hyperbole. It insulted my intelligence and should have insulted any rational person.

Zombie by Fulci.

Such a great movie. Sharks fighting zombies underwater and splinters through eyes, what more do you need?
