The Greatest Horror Films Of All Time

Depends, different films scared me for different reasons depending on how old i was at the time.
 
I dunno, i dont usually "get disturbed" from the same things as other people.
A lot of people are set off by horrid sights, things like a rotten girl coming out of water e.t.c or ghostly things.

Ummmm i tend to find parasite type things more disturbing or people being violently ill e.t.c.
I also find 48yr old men with sheepskin jackets who drive round in bi-tone cream/brown granadas scary as well.
 
The only 2 films that actually scared me when i was younger were Critters 2 and The Thing.Critters wasnt really that nasty but no matter who you are youve gotta admit The Thing was Freaky........
 
The Thing was quite intense...if only because they refused to put any limit on just how graphic they would get.
My own personal favorite is The Mothman Prophecies. Its smart, creepy as all hell, has an interesting hook, and isn't a boo-in-your-face/gross-out horror movie. Turn off the lights, and put it on while you're alone late at night.
 
Well, certainly not the Blair Witch Project.

I watched The Exorcist when I was like eight and I slept with my light on for a month.
 
The Haunting, it's really old maybe 1950ish but I defy anybody to watch alone and in the dark
 
When I first watched Tremors I was scared to walk on sand.
 
The Japanese grudge film was scary, its the only movie that served just one purpose to scare the living hell out of you. The first Blair Witch was scary too in a way that it felt like a documentary film. In the Mouth of Madness, The Exorcist, and George Romero's Living Dead Trilogy. Sixth Sense served its purpose as well.
 
The Exorcist never really scared me, I thought it was a good movie, but nothing near scary. I am a pussy and The Ring scared the hell out of me, oh and this "home video" shot at some guys house who was attacked by aliens. It was kind of like The Blair Witch except it came out first and was on right before or after the news...so it seemed kind of official. When I was 9 it scared me so bad I couldn't fall asleep the first night and after that I slept with my TV on for light, I just stopped that a couple months ago.

I agree, that movie is great. Though I don't think it's that much "horror", more like a psychological thriller. It just keeps you on the edge of the seat throughout the entire movie.
 
sPEAKING OF HORROR MOVIES scifi channel should just give up.They cant make 1 decent film.When i heard about a movie about the Frankenfish i was excited but it really sucked.Freakin' putoffs of filth.
 
Thats why I love them. B-movie cinema is alive and well because of them, and thats a good thing. Not only is a good place for people involved in all aspects of film-making to cut their teeth, but its absolutely hilarious for the rest of us. Plus they show enough other redeeming programming to let me forgive them.
 
...Starship Troopers 2 is better than the shit they spew out.

yeah i saw that in school during 'religion' class back a few years ago,pretty freaky,the scene where you get a glimpse of the mothman in the mirror :eek:
 
Friday the 13th
Nightmare on elm street
House on haunted Hill
House of 1000 Corpses
Suicide Club (I dont take this as a horrer movie but a lot of people dont understand it)
Tales from the Hood
The Cell
Candyman

There was this other movie forgot its name but i remember parts of it where the women will give birth to a antichrist. I remember parts of the movie where she is about to have the child born the moon turns all bloody etc etc. Dont remember the name but for some reason i think its The Omen.

None of these movies are "scary" Some are creppy and need thought like Suicide Club. That movie is made to sound like a horrer movie and looks like it but isnt. Its just really creepy. Takes some time to figure out whats going on.
 
Yes I think that's Omen. That movie was creepy, I heard people died while shooting that film or something like that.

Gotta agree with you on Suicide Club, a superbly done film that really requires several viewings, and it truly is disturbing because of what the film is saying, not just visuals in the film, which highly impressed me

you were excited about a movie called "Frankenfish"?
 
Generally films dont 'scare' me but only 2 have ever made me jump - Alien and Jaws.

Unsettling (but great) films for me are day of the dead, zombie flesh eaters (80's totally uncut version) and The Thing.

Sadly the 80's saw the best horrors - now they're all just american brats getting picked off 1 by 1 by a guy in a mask with some childhood grudge about how their parents killed his hamster. ooo, scary.
 
Tremors... with Kevin Bacon

Freaky stuff that... <shivers>
 
IT freaked me out as a kid - great film (apart from the ending)
 
The Amityville Horror (original) was pretty scary.
 
I love Tremors, but not because it was scary. It's probably the best example of monster movies parodying themselves, and having tons of fun with it.
 
The Ring - Japanese version. I couldn't sleep a for week after that.
 
The one that scared me for a damn long time was The Ring.
 
The Ring was good - but I don't like the CGI. It showed more in Ring 2 tho'. Apart from that bath scene in the middle. That was some awesome visuals.
 
The Audition. It's more of a psychological horror (for most of the film). I'd rather I hadn't seen it, and I can't recommend it in good faith. Not because it's badly made, but because you'll invariably feel worse after watching it than you did before.

Classic-style horror fans might find it boring, the rest will find it disturbing. I don't like the idea that someone might actually sit down and casually enjoy this film, it screwed me up.
 
I wasnt really "excited" dude.I actually meant i was really waiting for that movie because the Frankenfish is real (cheack sites about snakehead fish) and i thought it would be cool them making a movie about it,and it had at least 2 good parts.
 
SEAN OF THE DEAD!!!! Scary as hell, well actually its just funny...
 
Yeah......."Take Petes car.Go to Mums.Kill Phil.Sorry Phil.Smack.Pick up Liz hole up and wait for all this to blow over.
