Out of all the horror type films available (i may not have covered them all) what type of horror film is either more likley to give sleepless nights or make you more restless.

I have included Other in the event i have forgotten something.

For me, it has to be Ghost/Poltergesit type films. I prefer Zombie type films for pure entertainment as there is nothing better than a good survival horror.

I should have put all in there as an option really. Things like slasher movies do nothing for me at all. Yes i jump in the places they want me to but in this day and age there's worse stuff happening! :D

I voted Ghost, but only if it is an oriental ghost film, like Ju-On, or Ringu, Tale of Two Sisters etc. They know how to creep out the viewer and mess with your head.

No horrors from the west do anything to scare me. Entertain - yes at times...but scare..no.

I watched Dawn of the Dead the other night and I had dreams of me fighting a few with a shotgun that took ages to fire!

The only film that can keep me sweating through the night, no matter how old I am when I watch it, is arachnophobia (sp?).

Candyman scared the crap out of me when I was a kid as well, more than anything else!

Zombie films don't scare me at all because I find them funny, but any other type of scary film I steer clear of. Just don't like them!

I voted "other" - I think a blue movie starring certain members of the forum would scare me silly for weeks!

I agree most zombie films are naff but it's the thought of them.

For me 'other' means 'none of the above'. Don't know why, I have just never found them believable enough to emotionally invest in them.

I took my knitting to the cinema and knitted most of one sleeve through 'What Lies Beneath?' and fell asleep during Aliens.

All the screaming gives me a headache.

'The English Patient'

I would stay up all night trying to get back those lost hours I spent watching it.

Difficult. Don't remember the last time I was genuinely scared by a film.

Japanese films are creepy though. Also the little midget at the end of Don't Look Now makes me wince.

I voted for zombies cos I LOVE zombie films.

Gotta agree with madowl
Also this may sound daft but any film with house fires would give me nightmares for months, anything else im fine with.

Anything with someone like Isla Fisher wearing very little or nothing.. I wouldn't be able to sleep for dreaming doing *ahem* naughty things, with her...

I've had a thing for her ever since she was in Home and Away.. Man she used to look HOT in that school outfit.

Going by his recent reviews, the new movie from Guy Ritchie might keep me awake for hours while I repeat the words 'Why oh why oh why oh why.....' :)

Oddly enough, the ONLY thing I ever saw on TV that gave me really bad nightmares was, wait for it, an episode of something like Thunderbirds that I saw when I was about 5 or 6 years old.

It involved giant alligators and accoridng to my mum I had incrediby bad nightmares that night that kept the whole house awake! :)

In recent years the scariest thing I've seen on TV was almost certainly an episode of The X Files involving some inbred West Virginians who kept their mum in a drawer and ate the locals.

I thought Candyman was crap.The last film that creeped me out was The Exorcist,back in the 80s,but only the bit where the dressing table went for the mother.I kept an eye on mine(dressing table not my mother) for a week.I was only young though
