Top 3 Scary Movies!!!! Boo!!!

Okay, what are your top 3 scarrrrrrrry favorites?

I wil list 2.

Ghostbusters and Fright Night (1985).

Bonus points to anyone who can guess my number one.

Hell no!!!

Is that one of your top three?

Saw was scary to me, especially when the old guy was behind the tortures. And the voice *shivers*

Most "scary" movies don't scare me, it only becomes scary when the villain is unexpected ie. an old lady/guy, or a geeky harmless looking kid. I loved "Wrong turn" too (not sure if that was the name of that movie thou). Those deformed killer hillbillies scared the shit out of me.

Saw 1 was pretty hard core. Wrong Turn was as well.

Have you seen the recent release of The Hitcher? I think it came out in 2005 or so.

Evil Dead was ahead of it's time, but liked ED2 more.

Trivia: The scenes filmed at rapid speed from the POV of the evil spirit was really one of the Raimi brotherd riding around on a motorcycle with the camera mounted to the handlebars. Raimi nearly ran over Campbell during filming, and even rammed the motorcycle through the cabin door!

Army of Darkness was also good.

I just googled The Hitcher, it sounds like a date for the weekend. I agree with PP, horror is one genre that's hard to choose an all time favourite from if you're a fan. Only horror flicks I don't like are the kind about vampires (Van Helsing was interesting thou). I like the psychotic kind of killings.

was never scared by a movie, but i thought jacob's ladder was kinda creepy when i was a younger..

I can't watch scary movies :/

Killer Klowns From Outer Space, anyone?

Hahahaha at the Gigli comment. J Lo is a real life wacko.

Halloween 1 and 2 were good, part 3 was a crazy turn in the wrong direction, part 4 and 5 were good, and part 6 was okay (explanation of MM and Sam Hain was decent, nut didnt care for the bad ending).

H20 was okay. Still havent seen the Rob Zombie versions yet. Are they worth watching?

Yes, they are worth watching

I dunno, I am not really into the gory stuff like Hostel and all that, so maybe I will think about it around Halloween.

Do you like the Stephen King movies? Misery, Dead Zone, Cujo, Maximum Overdrive, etc....

Jason Voorhees is the quintessential democrat. Consistently unhappy and an inherent misanthrope and psychopath, he goes around harassing, oppressing, stalking and eventually killing innocent people who were either having fun or minding their own business.

IT

clown is creepy. " We all float down here "

i dunno if these are my top 3 but

insidious
the ring
the thing, the '82 version

1. Halloween (original)
2. Session 9
3. Friday the 13th ---Part 3

...three is not enough. lol

DONT LET THE ENFANT SQUEEZ ANYTHING
WHICH BRINGS UP THE QUESTION DO ENFANTS HAVE MORE FUN INENFANCY
THAN ADULTS IN ADULTRY?

I crave 'mental stimulation' so I've kind of outgrown the horror genre, though I was nuts about it as a kid. Horror movies these days are not exploring our innermost fears, instead they are trying to convince you that you are scared by making you jump in your seat. That's not horror, that's just a cheap trick! And above all, they are too sadistic for my taste.

When I think of the movies that scare me the most, isolation and conspiracies are common themes. Having everyone against you has always been one of my favourite nightmare scenarios, I think I was the only kid in my circle who was truly taken by Rosemary's Baby, while most other kids my age would have defined it as drama due to the lack of blood and guts.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1977) and Polanski's The Tenant (1976) are two examples of horror movies that I actually find scary. Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) also kept me up at night. There's something creepy about a monster coming after you with a big grin on his face. Also, the murders are truly bizarre, that's always scary. And let's not forget that soundtrack. Wes Craven sure knew what he was doing back in the days.

YOU WANT A SCARY MOVIE

AND IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN

Now you're just being a smart-ass! ;D

Psychological thrillers of the sort... those are worse, they keep me up at night!

The Vanishing. (the original 1988) Directed by George Sluizer

Deeply disturbing psychological thriller... haunted me for days. The american remake sucked.

Oh yes! One of my all-time favourite movies 🙂

You saw the original?

Of course.... I'm European 😛

Of course.... I'm European 😛

ah well that's why, because I don't know anyone else who saw it 🙂

Howcome you've seen it?

For many years I only watched foreign movies. Way more interesting and intelligent.

It helped that I lived close to a theatre that only showed foreign moves 😛

so you saw debby
does london?

Ah, I see. Maybe that's why you're such a smart lady 😄

For those like you who are into psychological artsy fartsy flicks, Possession (1981) is my standard recommendation. It's some sort of a DNA crossing between a horror movie and relationship drama.

Italian it is. Thx for the heads up, I believe it's about the only Mario Bava film that I haven't seen yet.
