I'm quite the horror movie fanatic..
I just finished watching 'The Collector' and it inspired me to post a thread about horror films.

What are some of your favorite horror movies?

    My fave is Evil Dead 2 even if it is more comedy horror. Love Hellraiser that sort of thing and a ton of horror movies from the 80's which i think was the best decade for them.

    Any Rob Zombie movie, all of the Nightmare on Elm Streets, all of the Halloweens, Texas Chainsaw Masc, Cabin in the Woods, Megan Is Missing, Mirrors 1 and 2, Exorcism of Emily Rose, The Last Exorcism, The Devil Inside Me, and it's not really a horror movie but a great thriller, Frozen.

    I prefer old school horror from the 70s, 80s and SOME early 90s. Can't stand the horror movies of today. It's less about the horror and more about the gore and CG monsters. Rob Zombie keeps it old school though.

    Have you seen Lords Of Salem, yet? It's been getting nothing but bad reviews, however House Of 1,000 Corpses did too, so I'm not going to let other opinions scare me out of buying a ticket.

    THIS!!

    I really LOVE Hammer Horror!

    I also love all sorts of strange and beautiful foreign horror films--Italian gialli (Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci, etc), Jean Rollin's French vampire films, Jesus Franco's films, etc.

    Classic horror is great too, and I adore anything from the days of wayback with a supernatural theme.

    I'm not really into contemporary horror films, as I find them a bit lacking...not as beautiful to look at, not as interesting to me.

    Honestly, the new horror movies look to scary on the trailers.. they probably aren't, but I prefer the suspense horror genre more than the gore filled POP-UP SURPRISE!!!**** horror we have now.

    Oh yes Hammer Horror are classics, I love old Horrors like Rosemary's Baby, etc. Japanese & Korean horrors are a lot better than the American remakes too.

    It's hard to chose a favorite . I did enjoy Grave Encouters, Insidious, The Devil Inside Me, Strangers. I've watched more horror films than I can actually remember that's the problem :smile:

    Texan Chainsaw Massacre (the original, I haven't seen the revamped one).

    I highly recommend revamped one - took me a cpl of years to go for it as I couldn't see why it needed a remake when its so awesome anyway, but it was really good

    Love Horror movies! Bumping to check out some of these later :) Love the classics, but Haunting in Connecticut actually really creeped me out...

    I thought that Human centipede was quite a good concept, but then the sequel was taking things too far & bored me as it was lacking in plot & more about trying to be too shocking! that was disappointing.

    I prefer suspense & when they don't show too much as my imagination is always worse than what they actually show!
