Whats your favorite scary movie?

[Zombie_Fan]

I love scary movies (even though none of them scare me). I just wanted to know what every ones favorite scary movie is. I am a George A. Romero:bowdown: fanboy. So my favorite scary movie is the original "Night of the Living Dead".

[Ramar]

Favourite scary movie...hmm. Got to be the first, laughed so much to that.

Not a big fan of horror movies. Though I did enjoy 28 Days Later.

[ThePigMarcher]

A big fan of 'Candyman' .

Doesn't actually scare me (no movies do) but I think Tony Todd is masterful in that role , plus the way the film is shot creates a foreboding atmosphere.

Also love the creepy soundtrack to it , such a shame that it was cheapened by truely awful sequels (as usual).

28 days later was a good take on the zombie movie. I really liked some of the stuff they did. helped by the presence Cillian Murphy and Daniel Craig.

Dark Water scared the shit out of me good and proper. amazing build up to a truly great ending. had me screaming like a girl =)

Ringu. the antidote to modern horror. it makes you think, it's genuinely creepy as fuck and the penultimate scene is a masterpiece of cinema.

[Ninty 182]

the fighting scenes in Freddy Vs. Jason were really cool thought the story was scraping the barrel a bit.

No scary movies have ever really scared me, though the book of 'The Shining' did, it was miles better and scarier than the movie ever could be.

Anyway favourite scary movie of all time has to either the 'texas chainsaw masacre' or the 'Scream' movies just because of the incredibly illogical plot twists in them, quite funny as well.

[Marshmellow]

"Scary Movie 3" Haha wasn't entirely scary at all, but it has Scary in the title:D

[Stefkov]

Saw was a wierldy funny, yet disorientating film. Great film, I want to see the second one.
Taking Lives is a good film also.
Thers loads more i cant remember. got to do my papers now.

Daniel Craig was in 28 days later? Are you sure you don't mean Christopher Eccleston?

I agree with that though, fantastic movie.

My other votes would have to be The Invasion of the Body Snatchers (both the original and the remake with donald sutherland), and Ringu and Ring2.

The Invasion of the Body Snatchers
That reminded me of watching Day of the Triffids, which was pretty cool. It's also quite similar to 28 Days Later in its opening scenes, with an abandoned hospital and a deserted London etc.

I still haven't seen Day of the Triffids. Its another one of these things that i've been putting off.

[Pit-Jr]

For me, the Blair Witch Project. There was no gore, no CG monsters and no serial killer with one-liners (ala Freddy Krueger). Just the creepiness and desperation of being stuck in the woods during Halloween with an unseen evil worked so well.

and although they arent considered scary movies, i was truly creeped out by Silence of the Lambs and Signs

[Jack]

Not one mention of The Thing yet? Blasphemy!

[Ginger_Chris]

alien

enough said, "shaun of the dead"'s pretty good to,in a non scary funny way

[Zell]

The Shining. Only film that actually freaked me out.

you might be right there...I thought it was craig at the time, but i could be wrong..

in fact. yes. I'm wrong. just checked it on Imdb

[Athriller]

Seconding The Thing and The Shining. The only films that sort of creeped me out.

[gorrit]

The Shining.
It freaked me out and it's a great film.

[Haden]

Texas Chainsaw Massacure lovely stuff.
The orginial of course... I havent seen the new one I bet its horribly crap.

[gaggle64]

Oooh toghie. I would say either The Shining, the original Night of The Living Dead or Event Horizon.

[Arragaun]

Event Horizon.
I bought that on video when I was about twelve hoping for some Star Trek style space adventures. Imagine my horror. Imagine it.

[Hero-of-Time]

Event Horizon scared the hell out of me. Also I used to watch Poltergeist 1 and 2 when I was kid which also was pretty freaky.

Whoo boy, I can barely imagine. I bought it because I wanted a horror move, and it still shocked me.

[McMad]

I crapped myself when i first saw Event Horison, it was on sky movies at half ten so i thought i might aswell watch it since I had seen everything else on, and it turned out to be one of the best films i've ever seen.

[Arragaun]

Sam Neil with no eyes and an evil agenda certainly makes for something interesting.

[Zombie_Fan]

Texas Chainsaw Massacure lovely stuff.
The orginial of course... I havent seen the new one I bet its horribly crap.

The re-make was good but not as great as the original.

Heh, its an easy mistake to make, and we all make them.


Alien and Event Horizon are definitely up there in my top scary films. Cracking stuff. Both are very different, and i would have to say that I love Alien more than i could ever love Event Horizon. Am a bit of an Alien fanboy.

[Zombie_Fan]

Love the The Thing.

Has any one ever seen Henry Portrait of a serial killer? It’s not scary but it is extremely shocking. I can only watch once and a great while.

[The3rdChildren]

Child's Play series.

Still shit scary even today.

[Monopolyman]

The Shining for me also. It was pretty creepy, especially the whole blood thing.

[Hero-of-Time]

Wasnt Event Horizon made by the same guy who made Alien Vs Predator and the R Evil films? What happened to him, he started off so well!

[Letty]

I did enjoy cabin fever. Whilst the actual movie isnt very scaring, the idea of a flesh eating disease doesnt like me.

[AshMat]

One Hour Photo

Though not generally scary, very surreal and wierd



Cabin Fever was laughable, as was Jeepers Creepers.

[Noodleman]

No love for the Evil Dead? :( although its not particularly scary per se, all 3 films are awesome.

Really enjoyed Saw when I watched it the other week (although the second one was dire) . Gotta agree with the shining being awesome as well though.

[The Bard]

The Shining.

[BeerMonkey]

a film that freaked me out back in the day mustve been like 10-11 when first saw it is: The Terminator

great film nevertheless

i like the evil dead films but there more funny then scary..didnt find scary at all infact

[gaggle64]

Holy crap you're right. Where did it all go wrong?

[Fierce_LiNk]

In all honesty, i think AvP was a good film. I enjoyed it, and i'm a big fan of both the Alien and Predator films.
It wasn't his fault that the film was short in length and short on gore. Fox are to blame for that one. None of the other Alien and Predator films were less than an 18 certificate, so i don't understand why they felt the need to dumb down the violence and gore.

It was only an hour and a half long too. That's like an hour less than Aliens was. :/

[bigced]

the blob - the original black and white version.

[Mundi]

decisions decisions.... What comes on top is Dark Water (i went yuck when i heard about the american version) Event Horizon (Seen that masterpice 5 times still scares me) and The Thing
