    -The People Under The Stairs
    -Nightmare on Elm Street
    -Jaws - every time I see it and Brody says "How about you come down here and chum some of this ****?" and the shark pops up out of the water, I totally scream.


    Funny story..when I was in high school, we went on a weekend retreat to Blairstown, NJ and stayed at the camp where Friday the 13th was filmed. Now I was not stupid enough to go in the water but it was hilarious when a bunch of classmates tipped over their canoes and were screaming bloody murder because they thought Jason was going to get them . Priceless! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Child's play. Not my favorite, because I hate scary movies. But this one has stuck in my mind since I was a little tot.

    All the old slasher movies! :) I think my favorite would have to be the Halloween movies though. Michael Meyers is the *kitten*!

    I would have to agree. i love Micheal Myers 2 :)

    and i love you

    Evil Dead. Only scary bits are the Sam Raimi cam moves. I'm glad my copy has the tree rape scene because that's damn good acting by Ellen Sandweiss.

    I'm camping out in front of the tv Oct 13-31 for AMC's FearFest.

    Paranormal Activity 1, 2 and 3. Soon 4 will be out and I dont know if I can sit through it!

    Also the Blair Witch movie.....I think it was because of the things you dont see which scares me!

    You must be my sister in horror because you picked the exact ones I thought of. I think slasher movies are stupid, but these kinds of supernatural scary movies are my favorites! And I'll admit to sleeping with the light on after watching each of these for the first time. I'll also add 30 Days of NIght just for the brilliant idea of setting a vampire movie in the Arctic Circle where the sun doesn't come up to save the day. *shiver*

    hmmmmmm i love scary movies...

    Halloween is great for the season...i always try to watch them during this month...

    and psycho...

    and sleepaway camp....

    and the serpent and the rainbow...that one scares the bejesus out of me...when they bury him and he's trying to tell them he's not dead.

    I LOVE that you have Sleepaway Camp in here! One of my faves. I loved that the killer and I have the same name.

    I love horror movies so it's really hard to narrow it down.

    Friday the 13th (any of the older ones)
    Halloween (all)
    anything by Stephen King (my favorite author)
    Hostel


    I could go on and on, even the terribly made ones; I don't care as long as there's plenty of blood and guts.

    I must be the only one in history that doesnt think the Exorcist is scary, lol.

    My favorite is Halloween...the original and the Rob Zombie version of the original.

    I didn't see that until a few years ago and began watching a few minutes in. I thought it was one of those comedy spoof movies. I mean I loled my *kitten* off when she peed herself!

    1-2 Freddy's coming for you
    3-4 better lock the door
    5-6 get your crucifix
    7-8 better stay up late
    9-10 never sleep again

    Halloween was good too.
    I saw The fog when I was 7'ish? NOT pretty!
    IR ruined clowns for me
    Children of the corn made me jump a few times

    The Shining was pretty Creepy!

    The exorcists didn't do much for me!

    The Shining
    1408
    The Others

    I'm not a fan of slasher type horror, it's not scary to me. I love suspense and paranormal so if anyone has any of those types to suggest!

    And not scary but the movies I'll be watching this month include
    Edward Scissorhands
    Beetle Juice (watching right now, actually)
    Hocus Pocus
    Nightmare Before Christmas

    edited to add the Paranormal Activity series is my guilty pleasure haha

    Horror movies from the last decade or so that I try to watch every October:

    Touristas
    Cabin Fever
    30 Days of Night
    Wrong Turn

    I also regularly watch John Carpenter's Vampires and The Lost Boys.

    I prefer Slasher and Vampire movies. Friday the 13th remake probably my favorite slasher flick.

    Last year I got in about 25 movies during October. This year I already have 2 movies (both sucked) and an entire season of Dexter.

    I watch crap movies on Netflix streaming as well as ones from my collection. :-)
