Favorite Horror Flick

[jack's smirking revenge]

With Halloween fast approaching, let's compile a thread of favorite movies that freak the spit outta ya! (Props to Woodbuck for the idea)

tyler

[Scott Campbell]

Old school - Psycho.

[jack's smirking revenge]

My first entry will be a somewhat obscure movie and only because it freaked me out when I was a kid. "Day of the Triffids". It's got humanity going blind from a meteor shower, mutant, flesh-eating plants, drama, suspense, Spanish villas.... Yes, it is a pretty dumb movie, but not "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" dumb. It actually tries to be a horror movie.

tyler

[jack's smirking revenge]

Another one to throw in the pile, more recent.

"28 Days Later". Fiendishly freaky and disturbing. I loved it.

COOL Idea tyler: :cool:

Hands down for me. This FILM.

First an introduction to it's place in my Life:

I was " so frightened "watching this movie the first time. That I stayed in the theater to view it again. I said to myself... come on "it's ONLY a Movie". Deal with it !

Early conditioning, I realize today, for my " NO FEAR " attitude toword's LIFE. :mrgreen:

I can re-call that late afternoon / early evening and originally horrifying experience (I was 11 year's old) as if it was yesterday.

It shocked me in my first viewing, at that impressionable age

The Movie:

The Horror of Dracula (1958) starring Christopher Lee

I have on VHS at home and I don't know if its for sale anywhere else. Would be worth a rental if you can find it. Here's a link to its profile on IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055894/. Hope you can find it and give it a viewing!

I did a bit of nerdy researching and discovered that Janina Faye, one of the actresses from "Triffids", is also in Christopher Lee's "Dracula"....

Does Shawn of the Dead count?

[jack's smirking revenge]

Does Shawn of the Dead count?

I guess, if it scared the spit out of you. That movie made me laugh the spit out of me, though the scene where that dude got torn apart by zombies is pretty darn graphic for a comedy/horror movie.

Great flick! I own it.

tylerWell if getting scared is the criteria, I dont have any. When I was 5 or 6 my older brother and sister used to take me to horror movies. I'm pretty much numb now.

Yea, that 's right Zool !

Good Ole " Don't YOU touch my hair " George".

The suave and debonnaire DRACULA . :mrgreen:

[Deputy Nutz]

The movie that scares the living fuck out of me to this day still is the Candy Man. Just something about that movie, I even saw it when I was 16 years old. I won't watch it anymore.

[oregonpackfan]

The original movie "Alien" which came out in '79 or '80 really scared the heck out of me.

OPF

[BallHawk]

I don't watch a lot of horror flicks because, frankly, they scare the shit out of me.

An oldy, but goody, is the Poltergeist series. Not scary, but a fun movie to watch.

[MJZiggy]

The original Omen creeped me out completely, but the best ever is Rocky Horror!! Bar none.

[Badgepack]

Re-Animator

[jack's smirking revenge]

Re-Animator

Sweet! If you ever get a chance to check into the Garbage Can, check out the Serial thread. Dr. Herbert West is prominent in part of the story....

tyler

[justanotherpackfan]

Definitely Saw and Saw 2. Damn those are scary. :shock:

EDIT I defintely wouldn't say favorite, just scariest.

[woodbuck27]

The movie that scares the living fuck out of me to this day still is the Candy Man. Just something about that movie, I even saw it when I was 16 years old. I won't watch it anymore.

Deputy Nutz;

Are you "a City Boy - Adult? Thinking of loads of houseflys and that movie if I've got it right, and living on or near farms.

Got anything against houseflys, Deputy Nutz? City people go crazy with too many houseflys. :mrgreen:

[GBRulz]

I think I've spent more time rolling my eyes and laughing when watching horror flicks than actually being scared.

However, "the Shining" freaked the hell out of me. I think I was 16 when I saw it for the first time.

Although not exactly a horror movie, "Silence of the Lambs" is my all-time favorite.

Others receiving honorable mentions: The Exorcist, Seven, Rosemary's Baby & I'm with Nutz....The Candyman...you won't find me repeating his name 5 times anytime soon!!

I believe the movie takes place in Chicago and focuses on Cabrini Green. There are no flies, only bees.

Yea that's right bee's coming out of the Candy Man's mouth as i recall.

That movie was different and I just forget the story line now.The theme?

Good choice GBPulz.

Nicholson is outstanding in "the Shining".....

" Heeeerrrrrsss Jooohhnnnyyy "

[K-town]

"28 Days Later"
The Brits know how to make a good zombie movie.

"Dawn of the Dead" (2004 version)
FAST zombies. Still get nightmares. The first 10 minutes are the creepiest I've seen in a long, LONG time. Also, supposed to take place in Milwaukee.
"Miller Park is no longer a safe zone."

"Aliens"
"In case you haven't been keeping up with current events, we just got our @sses kicked."

"Dracula"
(The BBC version, from 1976? With Louis Jordan as the Count)

[MJZiggy]

Really, if I need horror I no longer have to go to the movies. I just watch the news for a little while...

[GBRulz]

Woody, Candyman is about some girl who is investigating this myth of this person referred to as the Candyman. That he appears when you call his name 5 times when you stand in front of the mirror. Well, people tried to warn her of this "myth" but she ignored them and suddenly people started getting murdered. He uses a hook as a weapon as he doesn't have a hand. That has something to do with the bees, but I don't remember exactly. I think that is how he might have been killed originally or something?

Yes, it did take place in the housing project of Cabrini Green. Shooting a movie in that location alone would make a good horror movie.

[HarveyWallbangers]

However, "the Shining" freaked the hell out of me. I think I was 16 when I saw it for the first time.

Although not exactly a horror movie, "Silence of the Lambs" is my all-time favorite.

I'm with you. All of these that you name are favs of mine--although I haven't seen Rosemary's Baby.

Maybe these aren't classic horror flicks, but I like classic horror flicks (not just chop-chop movies):

Invasion of the Body Snatchers
The Thing
The Birds
Night Of The Living Dead
Alien
Halloween
Dressed To Kill

[Iron Mike]

Some of my favorite horror movies are TV movies:

Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark:

Rosemary's Baby is like from the 60's I think. It's another one of those "non-slasher just freaky" type movies. IMO, that's what makes a great horror flick, not just what can be the most grotesque.

I think I started watching "the Birds" before and I had to turn it off. I absolutely cannot watch anything with animals attacking. Movies like "Cujo & Piranha gave me nightmares !

Most of the responses here seem to be older classics as people's faves. Do you think they just made better horror movies back then or did we just happen to see these films as youngsters and obviously become more scared?

[HarveyWallbangers]

I think there was a wit... an intelligence... an artform to some of those older films. Seriously, how can you beat The Shining? Everything out today is just a rip off of what came out in our day.
:D

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

Scary movie :mrgreen:

[GrnBay007]

I think because of these 3 movies I no longer watch scarey movies....

-Exorcist -- I was young and babysitting when I first saw it...stupid thing to do.

-Candy Man

-Hellraiser

I still like movies like Silence of the Lambs...which I consider to be more suspense than "scarey".

[Noodle]

For more recent scary movies, I liked "The Ring." Very, very creepy. Demonic kids always get me. I've never seen the Japanese version that inspired, but I hear that'll give you the yips.

I liked "Blair Witch Project" too, though that movie really divides people into "hated it" or "loved it" camps.

[BallHawk]

I think that is how he might have been killed originally or something?

I belive it was because he was the son of a slave, and he was in love with the Master's daughter, so he was killed.

[MateoInMex]

Gargoyles scared me when I was little.

Watching the Exorcist in Mexico and then listening to neighbors tell us some crazy dude up the street digs up graves and sleeps in the cemetary made us stay away from walking to the other small town.

You have to pass the cemetary, there is old caskets thrown outside of it. Somehow, cemetaries there are much more scarier than over here. No wonder why chicks in that small town never get married..Too many of us were too pussified to walk back at 11PM, pie eyed drunk nonetheless. (true story btw)

As I am scanning all the other horror flicks that were pretty good...The Ring, etc. . . .

The flick that was probably the scariest IMO, is of course MY WEDDING VIDEO!

It still freaks me out to this day. I feel like a brotha yellin' at the TV screen every time I slip the ring on my wife's finger...

"DON'T PUT THE RING ON HER FINGER YOU DUMBASS PENDEJO!!!!!!!! YEA, HE'S DEAD..NOT EVEN HALF WAY THROUGH THE MOVIE EITHER!"

I have this idiotic grin on my face like my life is just beginning.

Why didn't GRIM DEATH just walk inside the church and detach my juevos before the ceremony ended? It would have summed up the plot a lot easier in this flick!



I guess that is the definition of insanity...WATCHING SOMETHING OVER AND OVER expecting a different result. :crazy:

[K-town]

Forgot two of my all time favorites.

"Them"
Big, scary ants in the desert.

"Prince of Darkness"
With Jameson Parker from "Simon and Simon". Liquid Satan in a jar. Zesty!

Alice Cooper was DA BOMB in "Prince". I watch that movie every few years. I really dig it. One of my favorite John Carpenter movies.

Yes! The Omen was well done.

The Rocky Horroer Picture Show scared you MJ :?:

When I worked for AECL POWER PROJECTS in Mississauga Ont. there was a whole whack of people that got together at a theater in Toronto all dressed up in character costumes and celebrated "this cultist" Movie.

It is some fun to view. :mrgreen:

[justanotherpackfan]

You people really go old school.

Older movies are better than the crap movie companies put out today.
The old ones aren't even close to as scary as newer movies. Has anyone seen Saw or Saw2? My point is proven with those movies. :shock:

I guess I didn't find either Saw movie remotely scary. In fact, I was disappointed by both. They were gory and clever, for sure, but not scary.

My Mom showed me Hitchcock's "The Birds" a couple weeks ago. She said when she saw in her day, it was scary. Was it really, or is my Mom just scared easy?

I'm not old enough to know the answer to this, but it's a great movie.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Pretty sure the DVD movie of the packer season is going to scare the shit outta me.

I don't care how Facenda spins it.

[BallHawk]

Pretty sure the DVD movie of the packer season is going to scare the shit outta me.

It depends, Tyrone. If it shows the Packers season highlights and we go 5-11, than no that wouldn't be scary. But if it shows the Packers going 5-11, and it shows Greta Van Susteren reporting from Green Bay than yes that would be scary.

I have to admit, I am old enough to remember when that movie came out. I was in high school and was forbidden by my mother to see the movie.

Being full of my adolescent, testosterone-in-my-veins, self, I went to see it anyway. Yes, it did frighten the stuffing out of me. One scene I vividly remember, is a guy shutting the door on the birds, and he couldn't quite shut it all the way due to the force of the attacking birds. Some of the birds trapped in the partially closed door began pecking away at his hands on the door...

Brrrr! It still sends shivers up my spine.

Well it was.
