Some of my favorite horror movies are TV movies:

Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark:



Bad Ronald:



Trilogy Of Terror:

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

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?

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.

Scary movie

[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".

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.

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.

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.

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.
