Horror Movies.....thats what i'm talkin 'bout!!

[Messiah]

Ok, we all know the horror best, especially old school horror. So, do you have any favourite movies? Weather is a guy with a chainsaw in Texas or a silent killer with white mask and a kitchen knife, its all good. I personally love the Evil Dead series, Ash is such a legend. I like most horror movies though, so it just depends on what mood im in. So got any favourites, or any you simply despise (i know what you did last summer, i'm looking at you... :) )

Your thoughts.... :3eye:

[Resident Darkness]

My favorite, probably would be...arachnaphobia. It's the only movie that had me afraid of something for over a week.

[Sendok]

fave horror film... id say polturgiest-sp

worst "horror" film "Darkness Falls" what a gay movie.

[dork]

blair witch project. scared me silly. screw every one of you desensitized freddy vs jason lovin' pricks that have said "d00d that movie is ghey"

[Greg]

I am a fan of Jason

[Resident Darkness]

Darkness Falls wasn't scary, and it was pretty gay, but I thought it was pretty cool.
If you're gunna talk about a bad horror movie, try Jeepers Creepers 2.

[Flaccid Acid]

I like Siowlogical (horrible spelling) thrillers that aren't about some big monster thing... kinda like Secret Window... or Gothica

[Thordain]

Psycho's a classic, it's nothing to be afraid of (Unlike Goatman) but you've gotta love Hitchcock.

[Mach]

I liked Mothman Prophecies.

[Fiend]

Horror Movies suck!

My favorite horror movie has to be A Nightmare on Elm Street. Freddy Kruger is the best.

[Serene Samus]

The Evil Dead series is so funny.

I don't know which horror movie I like the best. Hmm...

[Notedog]

Horror Movies suck!

My favorite horror movie has to be A Nightmare on Elm Street. Freddy Kruger is the best.

Do you mean the first one or the series altogether?

In no particular order

Wes Cravens New Nightmare
Jeapers Creapers two
Nightmare on Elm street 3 Dream warriors
Friday the 13th part 6 Jason Lives
Jason goes to hell the Final Friday
Halloween 2
Dawn of the Dead
Day of the Dead
Dawn of the dead (original)
28 Days Later

Sorry Horror Freak, you might have the name, but I've got the honor, I'm the biggest horror movie fan on these boards.

[Fiend]

^OMG how dare you!

I meant the first one, not the series altogether. How could you like Jeepers Creepers 2?
That movie sucked huge balls and it had bad CG effects. Jason Goes To Hell was boring and a bad movie for the series in my eyes. C'mon, getting killed with a special dagger releasing the evil that was inside of him? I loved Wes Craven's New Nightmare. Good choice.

[Resident Darkness]

But...notedog, you like Jeepers Creepers 2...:-/

[Notedog]

^OMG how dare you!

I really don't know why everyone else doesn't like Jeapers Creapers 2, I thought it was good.

As for Jason goes to hell, I really liked the fact that they brought in Jasons family to the story, and got rid of that whole shit where 8 kids are killed, two live then they go to the police say it was Jason Vorhees, and they're all like "arghh your crazy, Jason was killed by Corey Feld.... errr Tommy Jarvis years ago." But in this one the police went all out to try and stop him. I will admit though, that having THE REAL Jason in only two scenes pissed me off.

[Fiend]

I loved only one thing in Jason Goes To Hell, and that was Freddy's hand coming out from the ground and grabbing Jason's mask. No one really likes Jeepers Creepers 2 was because it was quite boring. The scenery stayed the same throughout the whole film,even though they couldn't quite help that, it was unusually bright out in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night. Even though the story for the Jeepers Creepers movies is quite original, they fail to put out a scary movie.

[Crow]

dawn of the dead (original)
day of the dead
texas chainsaw massacre (original)
texas chainsaw massacre 2 (NOT the new one the 2nd one)
Night of the living dead
Childs Play (all of them)
Halloween (not resurrection though)
Friday the 13th (except the second one when Jason had the Burlap sack on his head)
Nightmare on Elm street (the first one)

the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre sucked...

[OutlawAdidas]

I liked jeepers creepers 1 and 2

but 1 creeped me out alot. Pic walking down a dark road one nite and all of a sudden, in 100 feet in the air being carried off for breakfast, not a good thing

[disrupter006]

TREMORS 1 & 2 BIATCH...heh im not really into horror films but resident evil wasnt bad and the haunting wasnt bad either...the haunting isnt even scary but its still entertaining.

[Messiah]

New Nightmare is alright, dont really know why everyone likes that one so much though, i'm mean i know he tried to take the series in a different direction and to his credit, he was largely successful but for me it didn't gel to well. It was a good movie granted, but i still have my reservations.

I love the original Halloween, its trademark horror. It started a wirlwind of copycats that never managed to surpass it(there were some great ones though). John Carpenters the bomb, i know he cops alotta shit nowadays but in his prime he was a genius, i mean The Thing and The Fog are two other great vintage horror gems. Plus The Shape rules. The first sequel was alright, nothing else in the series was that good though, H20 was better then i expected but then Resurrection brought me back down again :).

Has anyone watched this freaky Korean horror movie called "The Audition"? Cause its rules supreme...watch it

[aman]

HELLRAISER...absolutely definately the scariest movie EVER made.


watch it and you'll see why.

[Messiah]

Well its got Pinhead so that should count for something

[aman]

exactly..pinhead is absolutely the scariest 1337est horror charcter ever


Buttercup is the weirdest cenobite ever

[Messiah]

I dont know about the scariest, meh i mean there's Leatherface, Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, chucky to name but a few. But yeah, Pinhead's definately got that scare factor going

[Crow]

Leatherface was scary cos he was big and everything he did happened quite quickly for his size, no mind games like Ghostface (Scream) and it was loud, Michael Myers was the best as he walked slowly but still caught up...

[aman]

http://www.clivebarker.com/html/visions/bib/movie/hellraiser/hell1.htm

have you ever heard of the tall man?or the leprachaun?there pretty scary

[Viper]

Nightmare on Elm Street series is my favorite. I go by odd numbers that I like best....1, 3, skip 5, 7.

Never been a big fan of F13 or Myers though I did like H20 and Resurrection a little bit.

Freddy Vs Jason had it moments.

Evil Dead stuff is great. Army of Darkness is absolutely brilliant. "Now...I...Swear...the next one of you primates.....", "You're only leading two things right now, Jack and shit.....and Jack left town."

Jeepers Creepers series had its moments

TCM is still freaking scary compared to just about anything.

Never was a Chuky fan until Bride of Chucky. It was hilarious. I found myself rooting for him more than most other villians that you root for.

Hellraiser....not too bad. I really need to watch more of that series.

Poltergeist series was creepy at times. Damn anorexic priest was scary.

Anyone see Phantasm?

Don't forget the king of horror......the Exorcist.

[Crow]

I have Exorcist on VHS and there's a documentary about the making where 7 people dies suspiciously :queer:

[Messiah]

Yeah Exorcist is great. The one they brought out a few years ago with the added scenes was actually better then the original.....the spiderwalk down the stairs is the best part *shudders*

[OutlawAdidas]

I don't see why the Exorcist is that scary. It was good and all, but not scary

[Messiah]

Sorry Hutch, but i scared me just fine. Anything to do with religion freaks me out something fierce, alot more then serial killer movies. I still havent seen Stigmata or whatever its called, looks good too, but its to do with religion too so i'm :( scared to watch it ;)

[Fiend]

Don't worry, Stigmata isn't scary.

[Messiah]

Isn't it? oh ok, you saved me renting it thanks :D

Here's some horror movies that i heard were good, i probably give them a rent tommorow

The Wicker Man
Rosemary's Baby
Reanimator

theres a bunch of other too but they evade me at the moment *thinks*

[Crow]

Yeah Exorcist is great. The one they brought out a few years ago with the added scenes was actually better then the original.....the spiderwalk down the stairs is the best part *shudders*

thats the one ive got

[Messiah]

Yeah thats the best one, dunno why they left those scenes out in the first place though

[OutlawAdidas]

cuz it was tooo scary for the public

[Notedog]

New Nightmare is alright, dont really know why everyone likes that one so much though, i'm mean i know he tried to take the series in a different direction and to his credit, he was largely successful but for me it didn't gel to well. It was a good movie granted, but i still have my reservations.

Has anyone watched this freaky Korean horror movie called "The Audition"? Cause its rules supreme...watch it


JESUS CHRIST! How could I forget the thing! That should be at the top of my list! As for your thoughts on Wes Cravens New Nightmare, I think what people like about it, is how Wes Craven bought back the scary Freddy. In Freddies Dead the Final Nightmare, Freddy Kruegar killed a kid using a Nintendo Power glove......... Obviously they needed to bring back the scare factor. And that feeling (I won't spoil it for you guys unless if you want me to, ask me here and I'll pm it to you) when you find out that CERTAIN difference that this movie has in relation to the other series, is priceless.

[Viper]

New Nightmare is absolutely great in teh way Wes filmed it. Taking real life people and giving the movie a 'real' factor to it. When they went ot New Line Cinema, that was a regualr day going on in there. Sara Rischer was the women who met her, that was actually Bob Shays office and really him discussing the movie with Heather. The whole thing was brilliant.



Someone mentioned Blair Witch earlier. Could be my age but I found not a single thing scary about it. What really messed it up for me was at the beginning they had all these interviews and crap and they showed a police report. At the bottom was a phone number that began 555-.......Instant fake.

[Crow]

yeh i saw a documentary on the actors in it and people kept going up to them asking bout it........r3tards

[Viper]

So I wasn't the only one who noticed the fake 555 number?......damn.

[Crow]

no u aint that l337......nearly tho, Heracio and Gill would be proud none the less

[tomservo]

"Audition" was bloody ruthless I tells ya!! The guy that made that made a movie called "Ichi the Killer" which is supposed to be just...brutal. Not scary, just gory and brutal.

Anyone seen "Dead Alive"? Easily the goriest movie of all time. It's a Peter Jackson movie to boot.

I always thought "Event Horizon" was pretty damn creepy, as was "Hell Raiser." The best ones, though, are the ones about stuff that's more realistic, such as "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." Crazy people with chainsaws are much scarier than a thousand year old demon coming around to feed. That's where "Jeepers Creepers" went wrong, the point when you find out it's just a computer animated winged creature. Boo!!!

[Viper]

Event Horizon was a good one.


I like to think of Alien and Aliens as horror films because as a kid, they scaed the hell out of me and still do manage to creep me out.

[Crow]

oh Viper....
http://homepage.smc.edu/balm_simon/images/astro%205/aliens.jpg

[Messiah]

The Alien series is great. I dont think that any in the whole series are bad.

And your Damn right Viper, Thing Thing is a classic, i love it with all my heart :D

tomservo, you mentioned dead alive, is that like a hybrid horror/comedy thing, and also didn't Jackson direct Bad Taste too which seems to be in the same vien

What about Steven King adaptions? Does anyone have any favourites? I liked Misery, Carrie, Pet Cemetry and The Shinning the best. But for the share iof quality adaptions theres an equal no os down right sh*te ones......

[OutlawAdidas]

Ok, thats not cool.

Who ever posted that pic of my grandma, take it down. LOL

Anyways, Starsky, I liked The Shining and Carrie. Also, I was creeped out by Castaway. Can you image being on an Island for that long. Also, losing your best friend, Wilson to the sea. So sad and terrifying

[Messiah]

Was that a Steven King movie? Damn, i'm not very retentive, oh well. What about when he has to remove one of his teeth with the ski shoe*cringes* ouch!! :(

[OutlawAdidas]

that was not a stephen king movie
it was a steven speilberg movie

[Messiah]

A Steven's a Steven in my book, good enough

[Crow]

oh yeh i forgot about "The Thing" that film was great

[aman]

The wishmaster souns pretty scary

[Fiend]

The Blair Witch sucked ass. It was in now way scary, and was so boring I nearly fell asleep. It's a rip off of Cannibal Holocaust which is banned in America.

[Messiah]

Cannibal Holocaust isn't banned man, according to imdb its classified as "Open"....take a look....... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078935/

it sounds interesting, spose to be really gory and it features actual animal deaths, they kill a tortoise and i monkey i think, dont know if i like that though...:(

[Fiend]

Oh, I see. It was banned in America at one time though.

[tomservo]

Does anybody here like Troma movies? The Toxic Avenger, Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town (featuring Billy Bob Thornton), and Teenage Catgirls in Heat are some of the ones that come to mind. They're not really scary, but they're cool and sometimes just plain funny.

[The_Cat]

I thought the Ring was badass. I know a lot of people didn't like it very well. I took my girlfriend to the movies and watched it on Halloween night. They're making a sequel.

[Fiend]

You guys want to know a kickass horrorflick coming out? SAW. I made a thread about it and like 2 people replied. That movie looks scary, and different from all of these horror movies coming out lately.

[Messiah]

Yeah its made by two Australian guys *smiles with pride*, and your right, it looks badass :D

[aman]

has anyone head of the wishmaster??

[Messiah]

Yeah, its got Robert Englund in it, the guy who plays Freddy, its alright :)

[Fiend]

Wishmaster 1 was the best in the series. Wish master 2 was alright, but it got worse withs sequels. Wishmaster 3 & 4 sucked.

[Kliq]

I have to admit, Texas Chainsaw Massacre scared me quite a bit. I wasn't expecting it to be that scary.

[Messiah]

I found Texas chainsaw more disturbing then scary, i mean the Cook and the Hitchiker were crazy as hell "Headcheese, you like Headcheese?", and when they cut her finger and feed the grampa, its so friggen tripped out :)

I watched this reallly sh*te horror movie last night called Faust: Love of the Damned. It was really bad, watch the scene where the girl melts and you'll have the same view on the film as me. It was awful :)

[aman]

yes i was just about to suggest that movie,its pretty satanic

yes, dosent that demon guy melt the womans face with the blowtrch?

[Messiah]

Well *Spoilers* (but who wanna see the movie anyway, seriously :) )

Nah, that was his girlfriend who got killed. That was the reason he sold his sole to the devil so he could get revenge on them. She does keep blow torched though. The bit i'm talking about is when the devil makes this girl have an orgasm and he makes her breasts really huge (kinda like boxing bags), so to her crotch (which starts to ooze slime) and ass. She ends up slowly melting in a fit of ectasy. It may sound good but trust me its not, more laughable then anything else :D

[OutlawAdidas]

I'm thinkin that it might be good........that thing sucked . Faust crap

[Messiah]

Dude it does suck, its like a really bad action hero movie. I bet the first time you see the guy in his devil outfit you'll just laugh and go "WTF...this is dumb". I know i did :ohplease:

[aman]

have u seen the horror movie....."long time dead"?

[Messiah]

i might have, the name sounds familiar, whats it about?

[Orchid]

Alrighty then... First and foremost, I am a Nightmare on Elm Street fan. The first one and New Nightmare are my favorite. ( named my youngest son Dylan as homage to New nightmare... Heather's son is named Dylan ) Freedy's revenge (NoES 2 ) was the worst. Dream Warriors kicked butt but I hate seeing Nancy die. Dream Master was alright as was Dream child and Freddy's Dead.

As for Halloween series... first one creeped me out and took me forever to watch in it's entirety. I haven't seen 2 though I hear it's good. the third was a waste of time. 4-6 same ol same ol. H20.. interesting.. like the bond and decapitation at the end.. only to find out in Resurrection it wasn't her brother and there... He finally gets her. ( the guy who knew his killer history at the beginning of the movie reminds me of Horrorfreak.. like he could be locked up reciting that stuff like breathing. )
Not a Friday the 13th fan. Like Jason goes to Hell..ending was awesome. and as reference a good question was brought up in a comedy>> National Lampoon's: Senior trip>> Does Jason dream? And if so, Can Freddy invade those dreams??<< Later to find out... Freddy vs. Jason, He does and He can.
Texas Chainsaw was creepy... just plain insanity and creepy.
Phantasm... Those balls look mighty painful.. and are as well. Tall man... very ..hmmm
Chucky is Chucky and that's all that can be said... other than Tiffany being his "bride" and this Halloween, The Seed of Chucky comes to the Big Screen. ( watching it )
Pinhead is a walking pincushion of pain and suffering. the chains...those damn chains..
Stephen king movies... some not so scary.. others had there moments. The Shining and Pet Cemetery. ( that little tike in PS was great.."It's not fair..no fair..no fair" Christine was a nice car.. too obsessive though.
Other John Carpenter movies were ok. ( ie Ghost of Mars, Vampires,...)
The Howling series.. First was classic...in between not so much.. the sixth one ( Rebirth is my favorite. and the seventh one ( the Freaks) was o.k.
I am a Old Time Horror fan though. I like the original Dracula, Wolfman,Frankenstein and stuff. The best for me are The Thing from another planet, T.H.E.M!, King Kong,The Creature from the Black Lagoon and Vincent Price movies.
Event Horizon gave me some shivers... Excellent movie though.
American werewolf in London... nice twist to the werewolf. * listening to Viper howl like the wolf from the movie as he stares at a full moon* Don't recall American werewolf in Paris... Heard it's not so good.
Scream series I enjoyed... First was great.. so obvious but still kept you guessing. Two.. o.k. third... it's still all in the family.
The Evil Dead series... Go sam so!! Army of Darkness was totally awesome... Great lines, great action... and **Groovy!** << This is my BOOMSTICK!!>>
I like Godzilla movies. Godzilla 1985 ( balled my eyes out at the end... and intoduced the cartoon skit "Bambi meets Godzilla" ) and Godzilla vs Mothra being the best.
The Poltergeist series was alright. First was the best. ( Damn right the tv's going outside.
The Exorcist is scary to me and always will be. Horror and religion together in the way it was presented was disturbing even to this day. and to think 'The Beginning' is coming out soon to explain how it all started. Won't have the same affect as the first but could be interesting.
I've had my say... be back later with more probably...

[Messiah]

Good post Orchid, man you must have listed every horror movie you've seen.

I watched Friady the 13th about a year ago and i all ever knew about the series was Jason, the hocky mask wearing butcher. *spoilers* When i watched it i was a little dissapointed...i was expecting Jason, not his friggen mum!! :D Anyway, its all good, had nice effects in it. I've watched most of the movies in the series and have come to the conclusion that the third one, or should i say the 3D one, is the sh*test. It was so bad. The only good thing about it is its the first movie Jason doned the mask.

I have the first Howling movie in my ever increasing horror DVD library and i still havent watched it all. I watched the third one, i think its called Marsupials, and that was oddly enticing, so i got the original. Same with Poltergeist, still havent watched but i have it. I'm building the library up with as many movies i can get my hands on, its like an addiction :D

[aman]

long time dead is about a evil gin spirit that is awoken by a group of teenagers,when they decide to mess around with a weegie board.(weegie board,is that how its spelt)

The demon posses their bodies and drives them to do insane things like kill each other

It is actually a pretty good movie.

[Viper]

Messiah, I split the thread to make a new thread for you in General Discussion about paranormal activity.

[Messiah]

Ok, cool. It even has me as the thread starter:).

By chance has anyone seen either..
Last House on the Left
or
I Spit on your Grave
because i hear that they are both very powerful movies. They are both currently banned in Australia though so i got no chance of seeing them until the censors board lightens up a bit

[Viper]

I was going to rent Last House on the Left (Cravens first horror) last night but they only had it on VHS.

[Crow]

u dont still have VHS?

[Messiah]

Most old horror movies arent available on DVD yet. They will be but the wait is sometimes very long. I still havent seen Day of the Dead, and the only way i can is on VHS, which is bound to be crap and grainy cause its been watch so many times. I'll make the plunge one day :)

[tomservo]

Dude, I have Day of the Dead on DVD. I have all of the Night of the Living Dead Trilogy on DVD, it's awesome (the collection, not the fact that I have it).

Here's one for everybody to see: Prince of Darkness.

[Messiah]

I've heard of it, its gold Alice Cooper right, and its a John Carpenter film?

damn your lucky having that collection, what i wouldn't give :)

[tomservo]

Yeah, Messiah, it's got Alice Cooper. I thought it would suck because of that, but he plays a creepy homeless guy who never talks, he just KILLS!!! It's scary as shit, though. Kind of reminds of Hellraiser in the tone of the movie, but it's nowhere near as gory. Still awesome, though.

[Notedog]

Alice Cooper was that pale white guy?

[Virtual]

I'm a fan of the Halloween series, Nightmare on Elm Street, and the Jason movies.

[Mirai]

Despite the fact they aren't necasarily horror and as of late have gone further towards the action side of things I love the Alien/s films. Goddamnit they were cool and had a few heart racing moments. Despite the fact it will most likely be an Action film I can't wait for AVP.

One horror film I really wanna see is The Birds. Any comments?

[aman]

hellraiser is the king of horror movies

[Messiah]

Yeah, The Birds is spose to be great. Its an Alfred Hitchcock (sp?) film so it should be great. My mum says its really well done, i wanna see it myself.

I saw the Wicker Man, that movie rules. Go out and get it if you can

[Notedog]

The birds ending is.... well boring. BUT despite its age, it still is scary, at least when I saw it 5 years ago it was.....

[tomservo]

The Birds sucks by today's standards, but I still respect and appreciate it. There are some cool moments, but I guess I'm just not scared by a Flock of Seagulls.

[Messiah]

Saw the American re-make or Ringu, thought it was pretty good. On Par with the originlal
