boa12 Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 i still consider the movie that tramatized me as a 7 yr old the best ever, though u younger guys may consider it kinda hokey: "night of the living dead". ------------------ My Home Systems Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLUngurait Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 "The Exorcist"...I had nightmares for weeks! I love split pea soup, but I couldn't force myself to eat it again for a couple of years. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 right on dave. that was the 2nd movie to traumatize me & i was even about 5 yrs older. had to sleep on the couch & take sominex for months after that. was sure i was hearing those knocks in the wall & i was soon to be possessed by a demon. maybe i was after all. exorcist is a true classic even today. "tubular bells" still chills when i hear it. ------------------ My Home Systems Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m00n Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 Yep The Exorcist. I seen it when I was about 10 years old. I am 35 now, I still have no desire to see it again 25 years later.

Curmudgeon Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 To me horror movies tend to break down into two main categories: genuine attempts at horror or horror with lots of humor interspersed. Both kinds can be very good depending on what you're in the mood for. Listed below in no particular order are a few I like. Genuine attempts: The Exorcist (especially the director's cut) Hellraiser (the first one) Nightmare on Elm Street (only the first one) Evil Dead Phantasm (there's something about that silver ball) Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the first one) Last House on the Left Mark of the Devil The Abominable Dr. Phibes The Howling Stir of Echoes Nightbreed (weird but it has very creative "monsters") Humorfests: Dead Alive Re-Animator Army of Darkness An American Werewolf in London Dusk To Dawn Innocent Blood John Carpenter's Vampires Motel Hell Tremors (only the first one) Scream And one that falls into neither category but is still good: Bram Stoker's Dracula (Superbit DVD is great) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Texas Chainsaw Massacre wasn't that scary, but something in the movie bothered me for years! The hitch hiker that cut himself bleeding in the van just to scare and gross out the people that picked him up. Reminded me of some crazed **hole that would get off on some kind of psychotic crazed stuff like that. To this day, I do not pick up hitch hikers, unless of course she looks like Pamela Anderson. LOL, Just wouldn't be right to leave her all alone stranded and in the country...LOL> J/K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriel Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 If guys want a REALLY creepy horror movie, and don't mind watching the subtitles, go for 'Ring' by Hideo Nakata http://us.imdb.com/Title?0178868 Full review here : http://teleport-city.com/movies/reviews/horror/ring.html The sound track of the movie was composed by the same guy (Kenji Kawai) who did Ghost in the Shell.

Mlstrass Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Re-Animator is out on DVD and I plan on picking that up soon. Has anyone seen "Thirteen Ghosts"? That one is pretty good. Does have some decent special F/X and a few things "jumping out" to scare the hell out of you. "Jeepers Creepers" started out pretty good, but the ending is kinda weak... "Happy Birthday to Me" has some good kills in it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel Meat Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 i would definetly have to say stephen king's night flyer. for some reason that movie just scared the living **** out o' me! one of those movies you dont want to go to bed or move from where you are after its over. *shudder* ------------------ Never trust consumable rodent flesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
