Anyone here a horror movie freak? Jason, Freddy, Scream....any horror films ya love? I just finished the last Freddy movie in a boxset I bought. Gotta say I still love Jason movies the best...yes there B-Grade 80's horror...but they still rock. Anyway, anyone into this sort of stuff?

The Thing... scariest film ever.

I have seen It. It was really creepy. I have not seen the other It's but I am sure they are as creepy as the first.

Nah, that stuff never scares me (well, the original Nightmare sorta did) but what scares me are movies like "The Good Son" with McCauley Culkin and Elijah Wood... That movie is scary...

But for old horror, I love the Fly! It's great, I like the original one. The remake wasn't as good, but I like "The Fly 2" which was a sequal to the remake (actually, a remake of the original sequal, the stories were pretty close) it had that real ironic kind of ending... Really gross, though... Not as gross as the Jeff Goldblum one, though, and a lot more of the cool factor... Some of those early scenes were just too cool!

I have seen Nightmare 1, 3, New Nightmare (that came out in 1994)
I've seen Children of the Corn
The Fly
Return of the Fly
The Fly (remake)
The fly 2
Entity I think it was called, its the one that's supposed to be based on a true story, the one about the incubus...
The thing (some of it)
Screamers (some of it)
Resident Evil

And, I dont' know if these count as horror:

The Cube
Silence of the Lambs (one of my favorite movies, actually)
The Good Son

Then of course, horror games:

Resident Evil 2,
code veronica
Parasite Eve
Silent Hill 2

The only one of those I really liked is Silent Hill 2... I really want to play the other two... IT's really interesting...

So, yeah, the original Fly, Silence of the Lambs, The Good Son, and Silent Hill... Those are what I like. The rest were ok... Children of the Corn wasn't that bad... Mostly, horror isn't my thing.

I may not be a Horror Movie Fanatic, but I can appreciate a good chuckle at the Freddy/Jason movies. The hack-n-slash ones are rather humorous. Not everyone agrees with me that they are funny, but I'm weird to begin with. *cheeky smile*

However, Horror Movies that nearly made me wet myself: Pet Cemetary, The Ring, any of The Exorcists, and The Omen. :sniffle:

I didn't sleep after I watched those. (But at least they made my fiancÃ© feel needed when I grabbed his arm, hehehehe.)

I almost forgot the chucky movies and the Omen! Wow, yeah, I loved Chuckie... It wasn't scary just funny. And not becasue it was cheesy, but because I felt the funny stuff was legitamately funny. Particularly the third one... Never saw bride of chucky, but I heard it was a bit too sexual...

The omen, well, I don't know about that... It was supposed to be based on the bible, but... well...

Thirteen Ghosts, Scariest ghost movie ever.
the story itself doesnt scare me but when you watch it on dvd and saw the backstories of each ghost your gonna totally p your pants.
my personal fave on the disc is the jackal.

I love you all....you are ALL MY CHILDREN NOW. (someone has watched too much Freddy as of late lol)

...um....Minority Report and What Lies Beneath both kept me up pretty late. O.O
Oh and Steve, thanks a lot. Suddenly my pitch-black room last night was very creepy, and the Freddy song was on loop in my brain.
"1...2...Freddy's comin' for you...."

Minority Report? I wouldn't call that horror per se ... more sci-fi. What rattled you about it?

I really don't like horror movies that much.

The Exorcist was...just...O_O The scariest part was that voice...ugh ::shivers:: I didn't have a nightmare or anything but it sure did make me uneasy.

When I was a kid, that movie Poltergeist scared the crap out of me. For a while I was afraid of TVs with "snow" on them o_O

The Ring, the BEST MOVIE ever.Minority Report. Now that was creepy. And my dad's best friend went to Princeton around the same time too... Thats what really scared me.

Postby **Shinja** » Mon Oct 06, 2003 7:04 pm

i know people that covered thier tvs after seeing the ring, i didnt think it was scary personally. movies that you know are going to be scarry going into them usually arnt for me, though they may be very disturbing.

wheres the map?

i kicked it in the river.

you did what

i kicked it in the river.

I thought the ring was a big let down...I do want to see Ringu though..the japanese movie that spawned the Ring. I hear it is really scarry...to me the Ring tryed to use the unknown and suspence to scare people....oh no..creepy little girl...Unlike the movie people who ran...I would walk up,
"Little girl...here, take this *hands stick of deoderent to girl* and go bathe you creppy little troll" Had they shown more of the girl doing stuff...maybe it would have been scary...but alas...I still need to see Ringu.

I like horror movies, but I've yet to find one that will actually make me jump.

I don't think I could ever be scared of something Japanese, except one scene in Serial Expirements Lain.

But the Ring... Oooh, I loved the Ring. I was proud of myself, I didn't look away from the screen once when I saw it for the first time... But I was afraid of my TV kicking on after I got home from the theater... and dreading the 7th day afterwards

I'm not really much of a fan of horror movies but if I had a choice I would prefer the more psychological horror movies over those gory slasher movies.

Postby **madphilb** » Tue Oct 07, 2003 5:56 pm

I've never much been into horror movies (short of those "monster" flicks that they used to show on saturdays years ago... the cheezy ones that still gave me the creeps... comes with an over-active imagination)....

Blair Witch Project was kinda intense... I think mostly because I've been in woods like that when I was younger and went to camp... man, turn on a flashlight and you can't see anything beyond the edge of the beam.

Event Horizon was freaky... not something I think I'd watch again, but it was an interesting 1st watch (a friend of mine told me that his non-Christian brother thought that it was an "evil" movie... it's pretty intense).

The last Aliens movie wasn't scary, but the hybrid alien thing creeped me out... for some reason. For a good week after seeing the movie I had the image kinda "burned" into my brain... wasn't plesent. In fact, if the movie is on (TV or such), I'll only watch up till it get's toward the end... mostly I "listen" to TV while on the computer anyway, so....

I have to agree I preferr the psycological stuff over "gore" and what not... "slasher" flicks never apealed to me. Hitchcock was good for them, not too many people since seem to get it though.

personally i try to avoid all horror films. but one film that my friends did drag me to see was The Ring, which i covered my eyes for most of the part and then missed the last half hour of the show cuz i started talking to a friend 'bout orange juice to distract myself. ha ha. and i heard the japanese version, Ringu, is even scarier *faints*

Postby **Stephen** » Tue Oct 07, 2003 7:36 pm

I can't wait till January...Jason Vs. Freddy comes out on DVD...another b-grade horror movie to add to my collection...(yes I love b-grade horror flicks)

Why's everyone think Minority Report is creepy? The 'Sick-stick'?
House on Haunted Hill (Remake) kept me up for days.

Postby **shooraijin** » Tue Oct 07, 2003 8:16 pm

I liked exactly the first half of Event Horizon -- I thought the visual effects were great, and it was genuinely creepy.

The second half was a totally unoriginal, thoroughly derivative demonic possession-fest and ruined a very promising start. So much for new ideas or a sci-fi thriller that might have actually had a novel concept or two.

The Thing... scariest film ever.

I have a friend who will watch this movie several times a day and insists that it is "the greatest and best movie of all time."

Postby **Michael** » Wed Oct 08, 2003 1:54 pm

I agree with you Shoorajin; Event Horizon could have been a lot better if they'd have fleshed out the last half.

I thought that movie was stupid, but they weren't completely uncreative... I am one of the few people I talked to that actually got the ending... Other than that part which was all I liked, the movie was just... dumb...

As for Minority Report, I didn't think it was scary... I liked it. After I got over my previous fear of "The Fly" I have only been scared by two things... The Good Son (which I already said) and sorta by Silent Hill 2... I hear that the first one is even worse.

I can remember being in the theater for "Signs" I don't know why everyone thought it was so scary... If I had watched it by myself I would have loved it, but I had some girls with very powerfull lungs behind me... GRRR... It really sorta ruined the experience for me... I jumped from their screaming...

Is the Cell considered Horror? I sorta liked that... Until it went into his childhood memories and it was all "F this" and "F that" and I couldn't watch it loud enough to hear because I knew my parents would have made me turn it off (despite the fact that I'm 20 (EDIT: WAS 20... At the time, I was 20... That was about a year ago...) and that scene bothered me bit anyhow, so I missed a bit of it, but I turned back and watched the rest.

I saw another "horror" movie that I thought was just another remake of a classic "Wasp Woman" but it was practically a porno... Actually, I think it probably was one of Showtime's soft porn movies but I didn't realize that until I was a little bit into it... eew... So, stay away from that one (the remake, I mean. The old one is fine, I think)

Of course, I like Ironic endings, so I loved Twilight Zone/Outer Limits stuff, but only if I'm in the right mood for it. Along that same line is "Night Gallery" which is a little darker than Twilight Zone and outer limits, more horror than the other two are. I watched a few of them.

Of course, most of the horror movies I'd seen were made fun of in MST3k, so I've seen a lot that I just don't remember... I was watching them for the MST3k and not for the movie...

Is "This Island Earth" considered horror? I mean, it's scifi but some classify that as horror... It's classic, in any case. Classic Sci-Fi.

Oh, and "Serial Experiements Lain" and "Boogiepop Phantom" are classified as Horror... Actually, yeah, episode 4 of boogiepop really scared me... I forgot that... Lain didn't scare me, though...
