    It isn't really considered a horror flick, but I really like Strangeland. Most of the new horror flicks suck, Two B "horror" flicks to watch are Thankskilling and Zombie Strippers... Those crack me up, You should give them a chance. :o)

    Halloween (1st) still terrifies me, but I must watch on 31st October. The Exorcist was also scary. Sadly since then the horror movies have been quite lame. I thought the Human Centipiede was quite poignant and underlying message of Nazi experiments did invoke lengthy discussions.

    I personally don't classify it as true "horror", though most people would, but I live and breathe the Saw series. I could go into much deeper detail, but suffice it to say that without the character of Jigsaw, and everything he stands for, I would not be here, trying to take better care of myself.

    I love the way they invented for him to be a villain. He is kind of the anti-villain. You may live or die, but you'll learn a lesson. The Saw series was the most innovative horror series to come out in a very long time.

    Yeah, he's actually the good guy, in a round-about, kinda messed up way.

    Love Saw..not the last one though!

    The documentary film 'Earthlings' is far more horrific than any "horror" movie... If you want to be disgusted, horrified and reviled, then watch it.

    I love Horror movies! I hate how Hollywood has remade most of my favorite classics.
    I'll probably forget mentioning some of my favorite horror films but, here they are:

    -Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
    -Halloween (1978)
    -Halloween 2,3,4 & 5 (Yes, even Season of the Witch. I love this one on its own, without linking it to the Halloween franchise.)
    -Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
    -Nightmare on Elm Street 3 & 4 ( Dream Warriors is my second favorite Nightmare movie)
    -The Shining
    -Psycho
    -Carrie
    -The Birds
    -Scream 1 & 2
    -Night of the Living Dead (1968)
    -The Omen (1976)
    -Child's Play
    -Poltergeist
    -Saw 1 & 2
    -Prom Night (1980)

    Oh I just love that film, the whole thing is amazing but the twist makes it fantastic.

    I agree with John Carpenter's The Thing, (1982) - the special effects by Rob Bottin were brilliant and still hold up and Kurt Russell was excellent in the lead role too. Carpenter created an atmosphere of dread, isolation and paranoia that few movies I've seen have.

    I also like The Vanishing, (1988), which is more of a mystery/suspense movie but what happens to the protagonist at the end is truly horrible. Incredibly the sucky remake done in 1993 was with the same director of the original: George Sluizer. Anyway, see the original not the remake.

    I dunno if I'd call it scary but 28 Days Later is one of my all-time favourite movies!

    I couldn't sleep last night and ended up finding a late night doc. on called Nightmare Factory, was all about some great special effects make-up guys. Probably a good watch if you're into the horror genre!

    I have to agree with Alex. I have watched this. If anything is deserving of a horror movie, then this is it. I assure you, this is the most important, eye-opening documentary I have ever watched.
