    My kids always love Evil Dead because when the girl gets "attacked" by the trees in always say "so is she going to have saplings now?" They think that is the funniest thing they ever heard.

    The Exorcist, the only true scary/horror movie

    I actually found it more humorous than scary...

    The horrow movies that scare me the most, are the ones that could really happen. So to that end, a couple of my favorites are:

    Halloween (1st movie)
    The Strangers

    Also like Paranormal Activity, An American Werewolf In London, The Thing (Kurt Russell), Carrie, The Exhorcist, The Amytiville Horror

    Hellraiser seriers, mostly the 2nd one Hellbound Hellraiser.....too cool. I like most of Stephen King's work.

    From Dusk til Dawn is good, sometimes you just have to laugh at it though. But George Clooney makes it worth watching :love:

    I can only count on the Japanese to give me a real scare

    Ringu (the original Ring) had me petrified

    Wow, you excluded Jason Takes Manhattan and Jason Goes to Hell, but didn't exclude Jason X...Most people will take anything but Jason X.

    Aw, Jason X has one of my favorite scenes. When he's beating the girl in the sleeping bag against the tree. I laugh my tail off every time I see that part. :)

    I watch a lot of horror/thriller and I don't think I could pick just one, or even give a real list of the things I like. My preference is for films that don't take themselves too seriously.

    Oh - and I have seen most of the Masters of Horror series. Some I enjoyed, others I was bored.

    ^^^^
    absolutely !!!
  • The Eye, The Ring and The Grudge... but only the Japanese originals. I still can't make it the whole way through The Eye, holy crap it's scary.

    Hostel, Saw and Candyman are pretty good for gore and both Mirrors and The Unborn freak me the hell out.

    I LOVE horror movies from the 1930's and 1940's (Dracula, Frankenstein, Cat People, I Walked with a Zombie, The Leopard Man, and The Most Dangerous Game). I also like the Nicole Kidman movie The Uninvited. I stay away from most horror movies because I think they are goofy and have gratuitous violence. I like horror movies that have "atmosphere" ;-)

    Have you see the Thai film "Shutter"? That's super scary, I'd recommend it if you like Japanese films.
  • Paranormal Activity freaked me out.....I thought it was for real for a while...untill someone told me otherwise LOL!

    The Descent & Descent 2 are my new favorites
  • Some of my fav horror movies are the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. Robert England was the best Freddy Kruger. I was not overly impressed with the remake. I love the Friday the 13th movies as well as most of the Stephen King movies.
