Favorite Horror Film?

Texas Chainsaw Massacre [1974] & The Thing [1982] are pretty up there but I think Jaws [1975] takes the cake for me. You?

House.   

The Haunting (1963)

REC.

The Devil's Backbone.

Not sure.

The orphanage was pretty good. So was Paranormal Activity 1 and 2 (Haven't seen 3 yet).

The Thing (1982 version of course)

Evil Dead II

or the original Dawn of the Dead

or the original Wicker Man

one of those.

edit: oh right and also Alien.

Jesus Camp

Also, The Shining, Puppet Master, The Thing, Trick R' Treat.

Exorsit (still is amazing)

Dawn of the Dead (Romero)

Event horizon

The Evil Dead (any)

Not to be an asshole but I hated Dawn of the Dead (Romero version)

I don't have a favorite horror movie.

I am actually looking for horror movie recommendations. :(

I've seen most movies mentioned here already.

The Shinning

• The Thing (1982)
• Halloween (1978)
• The Exorcist (1973)
• The Shining (1980)
• The Evil Dead (1981)
• A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

If Jaws qualifies as a horror movie I'll gladly pick that. I've always considered it more of a thriller, though. Creature Feature makes it sound much dumber than it is.

Gingerdead Man 2: The Passion of the Crust

The Shining

Alien

The Thing

The Shinning

I wish I liked horror movies more. I have tried to get into them but I can't stand the feeling of suspense, and I really don't like gore that much either. It's honestly like an internal struggle for me to watch a scary horror movie. But if people count this as one, I love Jaws.

Gozu.

From Dusk till Dawn. So much fun.

The Thing

The Shinning, or The Thing. Both great.

I grew up with 80's horror comedies. So for me my favourites are stuff like Goulies, Gremlins and Leprechaun.

Alien/s.

@matthias2437: I agree with this. Also Creepshow is another good one.

The Thing and Alien.

It's either Alien or The Things, for me. Not the most surprising of choices, but they're classics for a reason.

Silence of the Lambs.

Poltergeist.

These were the correct answers

I have to say the exorcist is one of the greatest films ever made n my fav but other recommendations are demons 1 n 2, suspira, creepshows demon knight, Romeros zombie movies except the last one, the exorcist 3, lost boys, near dark, return of the living dead 1,2 n 3 I have more but I feel like these are enough n plus some already have been mentioned. These movies r awesome their funny n serious n some r both enjoy

Don't Look Now.

Went to blockbuster to get some scary movies for Halloween Night, couldn't find the Thing or The Shining, both of which I have not seen, and am told are fantastic, I got The Ring and The Blair Witch Project instead, I guess thats what happens when you wait until the last minute.

The Power Rangers movie was horrific.

I'll never forget seeing Apocalypso at the cinemas...

I went with a friend and we got stoned beforehand. It was just us and this couple in the cinema, who walked out in disgust only minutes into the movie. This left just my friend and I with the cinema to ourselves.

Now I know Apocalypso isn't a horror film in the traditional sense, but for the next two hours, we were absolutely horrified.

I love Apocalpto if thats what you are referring.

YES

I actually liked Rec 2 alot, and the orphanage if that counts

The Thing

Session 9

The Shining

depending on if you consider those horror films. Well, the Shining definitely.

Evil Dead II

The Thing and The Shining, as many have said, are top-notch.
