Favorite Horror Movies!

[mynameisbob84]

It's way up there for me. X-Files (largely for nostalgiac reasons) and The Wire ('cos it's the best TV show ever, yo) just edge it out.
But there's just so much to love about Twin Peaks. It was dark, funny, weird, poignant, scary - sometimes all in the same scene
And as bummed out as I am that we never got a definitive ending to it, the cliffhanger at the end of season two remains as maybe the best cliffhanger ever.

Woohooo! Thanks for this thread!


1.Insidious. It's even okay that he looked like Dath Maul.
2. Silent Hill. CUZ DUH!
3. Let the right one in. Vampires don't get me so much, but this worked.
4. REC Love them!
5.The Devil's Rejects
6. Human Centipede. Just because I felt like a horrible human being after watching it.

DUMBEST SCARY MOVIE AWARD GOES TO: PULSE

"The Haunting" (original Robert Wise film).

I dowloaded twin peaks after this thread and I have to say, I was deeply disappointed It wasn't nearly as good as eraser head or inland empire

Wait, did you get the series or the film? Cos the film won't be all that great having not seen the series first.

The original Psycho, Night of the Living Dead, and Dawn of the Dead will always be my top 3 fav horror movies. I recently saw Cabin in the Woods and loved it. Just awesome the way it turned the genre on its ear. A lot like the first Scream movie did.

The series. I downloaded both seasons but only made it through the first.

Sad face. I loved pretty much everything about it. By the sounds of it, you like the Lynch stuff that's waaay out there (like Eraserhead) as opposed to just being fairly out there (like Twin Peaks)

An American Werewolf in London. My parents wouldn't let me watch when they first rented it. All I could hear were the screams coming from the living room and I WANTED TO SEE IT SO BAD...ha! I only saw it for the first time around the time that An American Werewolf in Paris was released. I loved them both, but London is my favorite.



:-D

Hellraiser 1-4
The Nightmare on Elm St movies.
Candyman 1-2
American Werewolf in London
IT
Scream 1-2
Saw1-3
Omen 1-3


Just some of my favourties.


PINHEAD from Hellraiser is to me the best ever Horror icon.
The Hellraiser movies are my fave of all time. The Cenobytes, the Lament Configuration Box, Ashely Lawerance (so dreamy) and of course the great catchprashes such as "whats your pleasure sir" "do i look like some who cares what god thinks"

Clive Barker, i sulute you. :handgestures-salute:

I went to a david lynch double feature recently, and his movies made me feel really uneasy... not exactly scared but a very similar feeling. I'm looking forward to diving deeper into his body of work soon.

I love Lynch.
Twin Peaks is one my favourite shows ever. There's just nothing else like it. Even the myriad shows that ripped it off never came closing to matching it for weirdness.

Still yet to watch Elephant Man and Inland Empire.

Twin Peaks love! It's my all-time favorite TV show. So many lovable characters, all odd in their own unique way. Still holding out for my own Special Agent Dale Cooper... Swoon.

Inland Empire I didn't love so much. I wanted to! Epically long Lynch movie, plus some Jeremy Irons thrown in for good measure. But it was too meandering and abstract; it never felt as coherent as the best Lynch movies, like (IMHO) Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive.

Ok...I somehow missed this part of the thread until now...but I concur wholeheartedly on the Twin Peaks love! and Blue Velvet is one of my favorites :thumbleft: I like pretty much all of David Lynch's work but those are my personal faves!

 

[WickedTouch]

Yeah! Agree with the comments re: David Lynch's work. I loved Twin Peaks the TV series... the film not so much though, Eraserhead for being well... just weird... and extra stars for Elephant Man and Blue Velvet.

Other faves...

Near Dark
The Exorcist
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1874 version)
Halloween (1978 original)
The Thing (1982 version)
Suspiria
The Omen
Alien
Candyman

 

[AnabelleLeigh]

I still don't get what was so great about Twin Peaks... It was so uneventful, and like a lot of other things on TV now.

I must have missed something lol

A less known one: Dead Snow



I watched it in a movie theater, and I was so fucking scared.

Besides a long indulgent foreplay when nothing happens, and only a scary story is being told, the movie has really awesome and revolting effects (like a live guy's skull being pulled apart by the eye holes as we watch) and insane ideas, like another guy taking his zombie-bitten leg off with a chain saw, or a man running through the woods only to find that his stomach is open and his intestines had caught on a tree and have been unrolling from his stomach for the last 100 feet.

To my amazement, it was more frightening than disgusting, and frightening it was. Made my day.

 

[sweetiebatman]

Just seen The Pact, thought it was pretty good, usually you can see the ending a mile off but I thought this was very cleverly done

 

[jennavalentine]

i LOVE universal classic horror. dracula, bride of frankenstein, the mummy, wolfman, frankenstein sooo much

besides those i'm a huge horror nerd. i HATE torture porn though (think hostel) so i can't stand anything like that.

- friday the 13th 1-4 (the rest of them ill watch but more for LOLs. freddy vs jason is fucking hilarious)
- a nightmare on elm street 1-3 are my favorite. didn't even bother watching the remake.
- hellraiser 3 is my favorite part of the hellraiser series.

- suspiria
- psycho

-

are only some of my favorites. i love so many!

The Thing and Carrie. I don't know if Carrie was considered horror, though. I don't remember.That most memorable scene where she pretty much starts her rein of destruction on the entire prom, I thought, was amazing. It wasn't scary to me, but it was definitely ominous.

The Thing terrifies me yet I keep watching it. Something about the mystery behind who's infected and the tension built around it. The part that always freaked me out was the scene where one of the guys attempts to use a defibrillator on whoever was on the table and BAM, surprise!

 

[Nordling]

I watched "Surveillance" yesterday. Not my favorite, and the critics hated it, but they seem to automatically hate anything directed by Jennifer Lynch. lol Not supernatural horror but about mass murder and gore in a small town setting, and very strange. I enjoyed it, especially for the surprise ending.

Favorite line: "I'm...not...having...a...fun...day."

There are so many that I love, I'm a HUGE horror movie fan!

As far as recently, I loved the hell out of Cabin in the Woods, though I'm an enormous Joss Whedon fan so I can't help myself. I did think it was brilliant though and just so much fun to watch. The premise seems like something filmmakers would talk about being really cool but then wouldn't be brave enough to do it. I just love it so much.

I love Zombie movies A LOT and have even been to some Zombie Walks. I'm also a fan of Zombedys like Undead or Alive and Dance of the Dead which are hilarious zombie films. Similar to this is Dale and Tucker VS Evil which is a horror comedy (more comedy than horror, to be honest though) and is absolutely amazing. I high recommend it because it's truly wonderful.

I really do love most horror movies. The Scream movies are fun. John Carpenter's Last House on the Left reaaaally disturbed me, the rape in it seems pretty real. I'm still not totally sure how I feel about that. I don't want to like the Paranormal Activity movies but I must be truthful in saying that I probably have never been so truly scared AFTER watching a horror movie as I was when I watched those. I can't ever sleep after watching one.

I love the Alien and Jaws movies, but I think of them more as Creature Features, I can absolutely see why they'd be considered horror, though.

So, I'm rambling now, but I love horror movies of just about every era and type!

 

[AnabelleLeigh]

Have to add " A Serbian Film" to this.

Some guy gets skullfucked, and there's "newborn porn" and scary scenes that look a lot like "the Shining"

 

[jennavalentine]
