Favorite horror film... now that's a topic I like. Most of the movies in my massive collection are horror movies.


I'll also have to pick Blair Witch Project. That movie really scared the crap out of me when I was a kid and I'm still nervous about going to the woods at night.

The Evil Dead trilogy is truly recommended. Evil Dead is the king of b movies. Fun times and fond memories there.

For a longer horror movie series I'd say any of the bigger ones, like Friday the 13th., Nightmare on Elm Street and Halloween. My all time favorite out of those is still Friday the 13th, although the remake was a let down. Originals all the way!

The Grudge, The Ring, The Eye. I just love Japanese horror and even the americanized versions are full of awesome!

Saw. Just the first one. Maybe the next two. Then it got bland.

Rec and Paranormal Activity are both excellent horror movies made in the way of Blair Witch. The scariest movies in a while.

For horror movies based on video games, I'd say steer clear of any of the live action RE movies after the first one. Instead, check Resident Evil: Degeneration, Silent Hill and Forbidden Siren.

Lesser known horror movies? Anyone heard of Population 436 or The Trucks? Go watch those, I really liked them.

For any zombie movie fan, check the Dead series. My current favorite out of those is the Dawn of the Dead 2004 remake, although Shaun of the Dead is close. The third best is the original Night of the Living Dead. Those three are my recommendations to start watching this massive franchise.

I like horror comedies so Scary Movies are close to my heart. Bubba Ho-Tep and Idle Hands are also great flicks.

I'll have to mention my all time favorite movie The Duel, although it's more of a thriller.

Others I really, really like: Disturbia, Hause on Haunted Hill (part 1 & 2), From Dusk Till Dawn, Arachnophobia, 13 Ghosts and 28 Days Later.

Also My Bloody Valentine (Jensen Ackles, woohoo!). Fun fact: there also was an episode called My Bloody Valentine in Supernatural.

To top it all off, everybody, check Sweet Home. That movie originated Resident Evil. Just think about it.


I think there's more but I just can't remember everything on one sitting


EDIT: Whoa, that was a long post. You can see I love me some horror movies

You don't like being in the woods at night?All my friends think I'm strange because I like to hang out there around Midnight-3.I go out there just to walk sometimes.Have you ever seen anything like bigfoot or yeti?I really like going out there after him because he scared the crap out of me when I was 6.

Have you seen Harpoon or Snow Demon?Those are two great films that released recently.

Yeti? He's just a man in disguise after taking the nectar from the tree of life.

I don't have much of a choice, there are forests everywhere around here. This whole town is in the middle of the woods. I just get nervous.

.................just to name a few I will think of more, and will go through my massive horror collection. I'm a horror nut, the kind that pretty much has DVD's coming in from Amazon and Ebay everyday from all over the world. Asian Horror is awesome, as are a few Scottish Horrors, particularly Dog Soldiers and Doomsday.

Dog Soldiers with Kevin McKidd?That one was awesome.I'm just trying to narrow down the un sung horror flicks that deserve a bit more recognition.But even TCM needed more attention.Didn't you love the ending though?"Yay!She got away!...Nvm,she just died..."
Have you ever seen undertaker and his pals?That was hilarious.

I just remembered a couple of fun yet lesser known horror movies: Wrong Turn and The Devil's Playhouse. Watch the latter one for the lulz.

They already have 3 of those.Since I live in Hillbilly Hell,every time I see an asshole I just say,"Gah!Made a WrongTurn."Mean,but most of those people are assinine and deserve it.

Ever watch "Chupacabra:Dark Seas"?That one's pretty good.

I know, but I only liked the first one. It was a really good horror movie.

Never heard of the Chupacabra movie but I'm familiar with the myth.

You should check it out.It's a bloodbath.

I'm not too much into gore movies but somehow you got me interested. I'll add it to my list of movies I should see.

How much does it deal with the actual myth?

It has it's varying differences,like how it eats other things,acts more like a rambo spider monkey,and seems strangely human,but it got a few things right,like the Puerto Rico thing,the hostility,the illusiveness and the exo skeleton part of alot of Chupa myths.

That exoskeleton part is new to me. Anyways, gonna check this out.

I agree with your "absoloute favourite" list completely. Also, I can't believe I never mentioned the Walking Dead in my post ... that's one AWESOME series!

Say BOB, what did you think about the X-Files movies? In my opinion the first one was pure awesome but the second was kind of a let down.

I agree with the Blair Witch thing. The second movie was crap.

I liked the X-File movies... The first one moreso than the second. The X-Files was my favorite show growing up so its kinda like RE in the way that if it has the name, I'm gonna partake regardless if its shit or gold.

I think what drew me to the Blair Witch was that it is based off of the Bell Witch legend. That shit is in TN and I have been to that area personally and it is creepy as hell.

I love the fact that horror and zombies are more popular now a days, but they are getting a little too mainstream again. Who has seen that damn Honda Civic commercial. Going full circle again... they are being mainstreamed and losing their edge/scare-ability. It happened in the 80's with zombies and it took 1990 remake of NOTLD to turn it around again. I'm hoping for another redefining "mind blowing" zombie movie to do it again. Sadly, with the garbage he has put out recently, I don't think the Romero name will be involved.

Best of both worlds LMAO!!!!

If I shat gold, I would chug some milk of mag, sit on the toilet for a day straight and then retire.
That's a good life plan, huh?

I'm not going to make a big list, but I really like Child's Play 3. Not my most favorite, but one of my favorites.

My favorite out of the Child's Play movies is Bride of Chucky.

You know, I just remembered one frickin' weird horror movie called Tooth Fairy. It's based on a true story or something about some woman called Matilda Dickson. Not my favorite horror movie, not even close, but an obscure one to say the least.

Well I do not watch a lot of horror movies and a lot of the ones i do watch i don't really find interesting enough to remember.

I know Pandorum was pretty cool but that is the only one i can really remember watching. Do not watch many movies in general.

I thought the third one was pretty bland. The first two were great, though.
