Your fave horror movies

[JoeP 11]

Psycho

Night of the Demon

The Shining

Event Horizon

The Fog

 

'Night of the Demon' is a bit 'old hat' now - it was a 50s film based on an MR James story. Builds the atmosphere nicely!

 

The Shining - it was most unfortunate that I was a late comer to this film. I saw it AFTER seeing The Simpson's 'The Shinning' so I have soem serious problems.... But good.

 

Psycho - the last scene where the face of Norman Bates morphs in to the face of his dead mother - gives me a cold shiver even typing it.

 

Event Horizon - Aargh! Scared me ****less!

 

The Fog - good, all round, old fashioned horror.

 

I was reading a Stephen King short story this afternoon called '1408' - that would make a terrifying horror short!

Psycho is fantastic. The music makes me bite my nails.

At the minute Ghost ship

 

Plenty of Gore

 

But all time faves - the Nightmare on Elms street films

 

Also love Interview with a Vampire

[LellyBee 10]

Yep....Interview with a Vampire all time fave too

Hellraiser

Freddie Krueger, my favourite bad-guy

Clive Barker's Nightbreed.

 

Seems I like a few films by some of my fave authors. Although I didn't rate Queen of the Damned, music great, acting S***E.

The Shining..........still don't like to watch it on my own

Hellraiser,

The Entity,

Poltergeist,

The Ring 1 & 2, the original versions,

and Audition. Dunno if Audition's really a horror but it sure freaked me out.

I think it pretty much counts as a horror, what with the sawing off of limbs with piano wire and that guy who is kept in a sack and fed on a diet of vomit. Frightening. Sleepless nights material.

 

No-one has mentioned Brain Dead. Not that scary, but the ultimate in splatter zombie films.

 

I thought Wolf Creek was good. Built up the tension very effectively.

 

Switchblade Romance is quite sinister, kind of wrecked by a daft ending though.

 

Tale Of Two Sisters. Bit of a head scratching plot, but scary in a very Asian horror film way. The obligatory freaky ghost of a young woman in white gown, greasy hair, cold stare, unwieldily staggering towards the camera is always a winner in my book.

I watched Saw the other night for the first time.

 

Why did so many people slate that movie??? I thought it was really good and had a brilliant twist in the end.

 

I also watched The Village this week and I thought it was pants.
