Best Horror Movie Ever Seen?

The movie that forever scares the bejesus out of me is the Exorcist. I still can't sit and watch that movie.

Saving Private Ryan, on acid.

Evil Dead 2. It's quite possibly the best film ever made.

The original Halloween from 1978 is my personal favourite. When i first watched this movie i was about 10/11, i watched it with my best friend at the time and we were both terrified from it lol. The music was fantastic as well and in my opinion is the greatest theme tune for any horror movie. This was a low budget film that didn't have to rely on over the top special effects and mass amounts of gore. I watch a lot of horror movies and even now halloween is the only one that for me has managed to stand the test of time, even now i still get scared when watching it and horror movies rarely scare me, out of the possibly hundreds i've seen i can only think of 3 or 4 that have managed to scare me. Halloween for me is a masterpiece and if you haven't seen it then i highly recommend it.

I don't think Halloween has aged very well. By the time people see that movie nowadays they've probably seen a lot of movies which borrow heavily from the original Halloween, just more violent, and in todays world of short attention spans a lot of just don't "get" Halloween anymore. And not to mention, a lot more people are seeing those awful remakes and re-imaginings Rob Zombie is making now in which Michael has become almost totally demystified.

I didn't see Halloween until the late 90s. It felt very dated and cheesy. It reminded me of an episode of Are you afraid of the dark more than a proper horror movie.

It's a perfect example of why it's so difficult to watch a lot movies outside of their release dates. If you don't have a time context for the era, you'll be drawn out of the movie.

Anybody here seen Paranormal Activity? Or want to see it?

I've heard it's scarelicious. I haven't really heard enough about it to know if I want to see it though.

storymilo · 10-15-2009, 10:32 PM

^ Pretty much what I've heard as well. I'd rather see Zombieland though if given a choice between the two.

That's what I was going to say. If I go to the theater anytime soon I'll most likely be seeing Zombieland. At the other end of the spectrum, I'd like to see The Time Traveler's Wife at some point.
