This is Halloween! This is Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! ...
Do you have a favorite horror movie or novel?
Movie: Exorcist.
Novel: Dracula, Bram Stoker.*
*Hamlet is a play I would pay a million dollars to read for the first time again. I might also say the same thing about Dracula. I loved it.
Comments
The Descent and Alien.
Favorite story would be the 3 books to Richard Laymon's "The Beast House Chronicles."
Favorite movie- well that's a tough one. Halloween 1 + 2 back to back make one, long scary movie.
Favorite Halloween Movie has to be "Hocus Pocus" with "Ernest Scared Stupid" coming in at a close second. They really bring back the memories.
As for Horror movies in general..... I honestly have trouble coming up with one. Let me see if I can work this out here. I love the horror genre because the movies are usually so simple and I enjoy the little bits that make one more unique than the other. I'd love to say Interview with the Vampire was my favorite since it already makes my top five list of favorite movies, but It kind of falls into a class of its own with the main characters being the "monsters".
For now I'll go with the original Halloween as my favorite classic Horror Movie. However, now that I'm thinking of it, I really liked the newer House on Haunted Hill(not that recent crappy sequel). Insane Asylums make great locations, and I loved the scene where the wannabe reporter was filming the room and she could see an operation through the lens but couldn't see it without her video camera. This is my favorite modern Horror Movie I think.
Can it be under the criterion of thriller? Well, I don't have any particular favorite horror film, but Is scary movie consider as horror-comedy?
I don't really watch horror movies... I get scared too easily....
Those are my favorite horror movies... not in any particular order.
Eh? I've seen some of those movies and it was really scary.
All japanese horror movies? Some movies had their english version? How come you will not love that. But it always happen that the original will always be the best. Since the english version is isn't quite terrifying as the original. So there. Do I need to sight an example? Have you seen all those "THE" movies?
Shake Rattle and Roll series!!! and Feng shui is one of the most scariest movie ever!!! GRabe nakaktakot!!!

-I will subtlety invade your psyche-
One of it is Jason goes to hell, it scares me out really. The thing with horror movies you'll just be psyche out by this movies and then you'll brain will do the trick to scare the hell out of you. So, whenever I go watching I prepare myslef mentally to avoid being scared at the dark and any hallucinations.

Hmmm I've been watching horror movies since I really really little. My mom claims that when watching pet Semetary and she jumped I turned around and told her it wasn't real(around 5 years old, I turned out fine
), the house hold also liked good old freddy.
Cujo the one with the rapid dog wasn't bad but I haven't seen it in forever.
in more recent movies The Ruins the directors cut gave me a dream... Only I was infected with the plant and knew it, and was trying to spread it as much as possible.
Haven't liked horror in forever so many cheap scares and movies that try to be horror and fail badly.
I find it amazing that by 2020 first world countries will be competing to get immigrants.
I love Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Its not exactly that scary, its just fun to watch, It is technically a horror film though.
The Peanut Butter Solution.
That movie scared the hell out of me when I saw it. I was about the same age as the 2 kids so maybe that's why. It's a classic though! video.google.com/videosearch
I'd say "Hellraiser" is the best all-time horror flick. "The Shining" was probably the creepiest and "Seven" for the suspense.
I generally don't go for what passes for horror in mainstream Hollywood. If I want to be frightened and disturbed then I reach for direct to video grindhouse kind of stuff.
Classics:
Last house on The Left
Basketcase
I Dismember Mama
Freaks
Cannibal Holocaust
Modern stuff:
Inside
Haute Tension
Project Guinea Pig: Flower of Flesh and Blood
The Hamiltons
Frontiers
Don't know why kids nowadays seem to think that horror movies are supposed to be "fun."
My favorite horror film is The Exorcism of Emily Rose. The fact that the movie was based in a true story is spine chilling. If you watched the movie, you won't believed that it happen in real life. And the story also revolves around science versus religion. You've got to see the movie.

Definitely.
The Ringu (The Ring) movies, original Japanese versions freaked me out for a long time. If you can get your hands on 'em, do so.
There's also a Ringu manga, maybe more than one, but I got to read one of them translated that augment the creepiness of the movies.
Then there's the Ringu novels, I don't think the first three were ever translated and brought over, but one called Birthday is floating around in English print and elaborates on some of the characters and history of the film.
Don't know if I'd call all the original Ringu stuff my "favorite", but it all damn sure unsettled me more than anything else horror ever has.
Some classics on that list. And damn, I forgot Inside and Haute Tension on my list!
That said, Frontiers? That piece of crap(in my opinion)? Didn't have any but one kickass gore gag(you probably know which) going for it in my opinion.
I liked "Hellraiser II" even more than the first. It was so creepy and bloody. "and to think I hesitated!"
"The Thing" is my pick for #1. Isolation...paranoia....great story.
Movie: Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Novel: Trainspotting
"The liberties and resulting economic prosperity that YOU take for granted were granted by those "dead guys"
Some classics on that list. And damn, I forgot Inside and Haute Tension on my list!
That said, Frontiers? That piece of crap(in my opinion)? Didn't have any but one kickass gore gag(you probably know which) going for it in my opinion.
Yeah, I liked the premise of Frontiers more than the actual movie. It's worth a watch if you're the kind of person that still happens to think that "Nightmare On Elm Street" is scary.....
One horror movie that still keeps me awake at night is the ring, imagine someone walking out from your television? Scary.~
This is why I'm not going to see this new movie about people behind mirrors *shivers*. Only the idea gives me the creeps.
Some movies I remember "fondly" and that won't let me sleep sometimes:
Phantasma - Kind of old, not a master piece but worth watching.
The Shining - What can be said... master piece.
Carrie - Just watch it.
Blair Witch Project - Has this different atmoshpere. I know many people hate it.
Rosemary's baby - Just writing the title is so scary. Enough said.
Hellraiser - Out of this world.
