That was the first Stephen King book I ever read... I was in the fourth grade and I had to hide it from my mom (she didn't want me reading it at that point in time lol.)

As to the sequel - I know what you mean. For some reason I laugh like a loon when the mom gets electrocuted.

Hooray for Evil Dead fans!!!

dude, i don't care what the rest of them say, props to you for mentioning that one. i've dated some seriously messed up chicks in my day, and that movie is scary.

myself, i loved this movie:

it is pretty complicated though, and most people have to watch it at least twice to fully understand it. one of the best movies of it's kind ever made, it is without equal. it has no flaws. anyone who could watch this movie and not love it, didn't get it.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. Audition is several different kinds of amazing.

The member was pertaining to 'A Tale Of Two Sisters' but the pic link is broken.

I might get laughed out of the thread for this but my favorite horror movie at the moment has to be Funny Games with Strangers running a close second. I love psychological horror movies like that.

House of 1000 Corpses deserves an honorable mention also.

Evil Dead for sure, I am seeing the Evil Dead musical on june 6th Its going to be so sick :) :laughing::laughing:

Really? That movie bored the hell out of me.

I think House of 1000 Corpses is overblown redneck garbage, to be completely honest. I've seen it once, and that's enough for me. I won't go near The Devil's Rejects either.

I feel the same way to be fair, Which is not how I usually operate because DR has some good scenes apparently. As for the Halloween remake. Absolute blasphemy towards my favourite Horror Film. Mr. Zombie how dare you.

i wanna see the movie drag me to hell

dude- i know you probably said something relevent, but for the life of me i can never read what you post because of your avatar. it has my attention in an iron grip and won't let got.

Come on people Halloween is the best one out of all the others cuz Michael Myers is pure evil!! You’ll all see what I’m talking about after 08/31/07. Halloween indeed is the creator of all slasher films, if it wasn’t 4 this movie... nightmare on elm street, friday the 13, and all those so-called "Scariest movies" woul not exsist! So think again and vote for halloween

Black Friday was the first official slasher if truth be told. Shame it's appalling :(

"A Tale of Two Sisters" by Director KimJi-Wun

i seen it, it was notbad..

it was funny, in the most gross way ever..
but never the less quite scary at parts.
i actually boaked at one point it was that disgusting.

i watched 'What Lies Beneath' when it first came out, i was only 8!
it horrified me so much i refused to use the shower for a few days..
which is pretty hilarious :laughing:

I've been hearing this boaked term being thrown around. Until I'm told what it is I'm just going to assume it's slang for ejaculation.

sorry i keep forgetting its slang.

That word's new to me too. I like it! It kind of sounds like someone puking.

haha, i always forget its slang, cos there isnt another work for it that i know, except now 'gag' which pretty sucks.
if somethings disgusting often my friends will say "BOAK" n ive often thought they were actually being sick, so i agree on the part where it sounds like someones being sick :):laughing:

I'll go with "Braindead" and "Bad Taste"...still get quesy from those two.

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.

^ 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.

I wouldn't really. Time Travelers Wife doesn't appeal tome at all.

Paranormal Activity looks a bit interesting. It hypes itself as the world's scariest movie. I've watched a lot of films that some people think are the scariest and they're usually not and so that being the only thing to go on, there's not much to excite me about PA, but .. I love a good ghost story. It's one of the reasons why I like movies like The Changeling and The Woman in Black so much.

I don't know if Paranormal Activity is a good ghost story or if it's just "scare after scare", but I'd watch it to find out.

An American Werewolf in London.

Could be a banker interested in prime mortgages.

I wasnt born until the 80's i saw halloween in the year 98/99 (roughly) and to me although it was dated it was more terrifying than any other "horror" movie at the time. I don't find halloween dated, sure the clothes are different and the music but there's nothing slapping you in the face saying "im 3 decades old" like there is with so many other movies. But maybe that's just me.

Movie makers have forgotten how to make horror films, they just throw in as much gore as they can (not that i dislike gory movies). Halloween is a legendary piece of horror using various lighting techniques, creating ominous shadows, blurry images of a killer pasing through the dark room, a chilling and extremely haunting soundtrack to create an atmosphere where i am literally ****tin my awesome self.
it's the astute observations that made halloween fans **** themselves and lie awake at night for the following several days. It's the very small details and the fact that (in the first movie at least) the concept is horrifyingly realistic and could actually happen. It's not a vampire alien from hell tearing off arms and beating people to death with them. It's a psychotic serial killer set loose in a small town. A human (or "more evil than human" :p ).

I have a collection of just under 100 horror dvd's and i've seen more than i've bought and yet halloween is the only one that scares me no matter how many times i see it. I laughed at the exorcist, i literally fell on the floor with laughter at the cinema when watching final destination, i feel asleep when watching scream, i watch the saw movies simply for the soundtrack and to see how it ends (if it ever does) and the friday the 13th movies bore the hell out of me. The list is endless.

I've never had a movie keep me up at night. I'm one of those people who can expect twists and turns in movies. I call endings 5 minutes in, reveal a twist before it's started to build up.

For me, a good horror movie can screw my brain up do I don't know what's going to happen next. Stuff jumps out that I don't expect and I didn't see coming. That's what a great horror movie is to me, a surprise. Gore can be fun, suspense can heighten a scare, and humor has its place, but the surprises much be there.

Halloween had no surprises for me. It was very vanilla and bland. I'd take the first Nightmare on Elm Street over Halloween any day...( If you don't hold the nightmare sequels over me, I won't hold the halloween sequels over you :beer: )

lol fair enough and it wasn't the plot twists that kept me awake at night it was the thought that myers was sitting outside my house staring through the window contemplating killing me, waiting for the chance. I'm certain it was the same for many halloween fans.

Nightmare on elm street was also a good horror movie but it didn't scare me in the slightest, so although it wasn't successful as a scary movie it definitley had a strong plot and good acting plus it was different from the rest of the horror films at the time. It was just to far fetched to scare me.

Paranormal Activity is some pretty freaky ****. I'm normally the type of person who laughs of scary movies and/or don't find them scary but I had trouble sleeping the next few nights after seeing that movie. It's the fact the the movie seems so real and personal that it sort of hita home with you. It's hard to believe it was made on such a low budget. I really liked it as a movie as well, it was very well made (even though it was almost the exact same concept as Blair Witch Project). The ending will probably surprise you, and I've also heard tale about a few alternate/ original endings scenes that are out there. I would love to see those.

I saw it at a film festival last year with the original ending. It is definitely much scarier. I was very mad when I found out that they changed it.
