Re-watched 'The Shining' this morning. What a great movie.
"Hello, Danny. Come and play with us. Come and play with us, Danny. Forever... and ever... and ever."-Grady daughters.
It's probably my favorite horror movie, followed closely by 'Halloween'.
What's yours?
Shining is great for its cinematography and acting, didn't care too much for the wtf storyline. Not sure anyone can give me a satisfactory answer what that movie was about.
Watch is every Halloween with my wife
I never walked out of a movie before like that with everyone in stunned silence
As a kid, the one that scared me the most was the first Halloween, but my favorite horror film is still the original Psycho (the remake is painful).
Blair witch 2 is a little bit underrated too. Loved how it kinda played off the whole public always unsure if it "was this a true story" theme.
Lol, you win this thread. I think Monday night may be almost as scary.
I never thought Halloween was all that scary.
A horror movie that I've watched that actually scared the shit out of me was "Pet Semetary". Most horror films are silly. A young girl walking through the deep woods when it's getting dark and stumbles upon a seemingly abandoned cabin. The door is unlocked so she walks in and sees a door that is paddle locked and can hear something moving on the other side. Every one in the audience is screaming, "get out of there now....". But she doesn't. She finds a way to pick the lock and dies a horrifying death screaming at the top of her lungs, but no one can hear her because she's so deep in the woods.
Or the guy who hides in the garage where a serial killer with a chainsaw is working on cutting up a corpse, but knocks something over that signals the killer he's not alone. Dude dies a horrifying death screaming at the top of his lungs, but no one can hear him over the sound of the chain saw running wide open...duhhh.
I think "Hocus Pocus" is a good family movie that isn't scary and kind of fun for the kids.
Give me comedy, thrillers, westerns, romance, even boring dramas...pretty much anything other than horror
I did see the new Halloween the other night. It was a lot of fun.
This analysis is brilliant - I thoroughly enjoyed going through all of this guys work, he does an excellent job of revealing a multitude of hidden Kubrick secrets.
MAZES, MIRRORS, DECEPTION AND DENIAL - ( New Window )

Absolutely fantastic film.
I really liked Train to Busan and BackCountry which isn't technically horror but it's eerie and isolating. If you want a really over the top campy funny one, check out Deathgasm, it's just a wild fun movie. Do NOT watch Cannibal Holocaust, it's grotesque. I liked RAW quite a bit, the Fourth Kind, It Follows, The Wailing and HUSH.
Favorite is a toss up, The Thing is a masterpiece along with Halloween and the Exorcist. Gun to my head I don't know which I choose, probably better acquaintances if my life is threatened by picking a movie.
you invited my mother in law to your wedding?

Does she have that kind of reputation? I didn't recognize a lot of people at my wedding.. the ones I did recognized looked like they were there against their own will..
The Exorcist (fucked me up for a while when I was a kid) lol I still hate going into the attic!!!
Hostel: Scary because I guaran-fucking-tee you, that shit happens! I look at people differently. lol
The Woman in Black was creepy AF.
The Insidious movies have some "OH FUCK!" moments.
The Exorcism of Emily Rose had some disturbing scenes (especially if you're Catholic lol)
The Awakening wasn't bad at all.
scary shit
When the witch hands her the apple ... oohh - the chills. I have goosebumps on my arms right now.
