Favourite Horror Movies?

[TravestyOfMan]

An horror movies buffs/ fans on this board? What are your favourite films? Some of mine are:

- Psycho [Original Version] (Pretty obvious given my avatars)
- Halloween (a classic, not really 'scary' per se, but it has a brilliant atmosphere)
- Texas Chainsaw Massacre (just pure insane horror at its finest)
- The Exorcist (again, brilliant atmosphere, and genuinly creepy)
- Night of the Living Dead [Original Version] (Classic with a capital 'C'. Proves that you don't need muti-million dollar budgets to make great horror films)
- Friday the 13th series (some of them are crap, but the early ones in particular bring back some great memories)
- The Thing (more vintage John Carpenter before he went crap)
- The Shining (probably the best Stephen King book to movie made, apart from The Green Mile but that's not horror)
- The Amityville Horror (I remember watching this late at night, by myself in a dark room. I shit my pants on multiple occasions).

I consider very few horror movies to be worth my time, but the ones I do enjoy are some of the best films I have seen.

Faust by F.W. Murnau
Nosferatu by F.W. Murnau
Frankenstein / The bride of Frankenstein by... I don't know who; the films feature Boris Karloff as the monster
Sleepy Hollow by Tim Burton - I love that kitschy fairy-tale appearance
Pet cemetary by ...again, I do not know the director, but this is the creepiest adaptation of anything written by Stephen King. I refuse to watch it though, since it would ruin some of my childhood's dreariest sensations...
Lighthouse - a combination of all the best horror - and serial murderer -clichés. Hilarious and breath-taking!

That is all that comes to mind now..

Psycho and Halloween

 

[_Transparent_]

well apart from the classics (yeah Psycho and The Shinning are great) i love a film called Braindead, its really funny and not really scarey, but its great, so much meaningless murder, great

 

[Gdc]

Yeah, Braindead is indeed a killer, when I saw this movie I couldn´t stop laughing!

Another cult horror movie that I recommend is Killer Klowns from Outer Space!

Return Of The Living Dead

Re-animator

And all George Romero zombie films.

 

[Evisceratrix]

..texas chainsaw massacre for sure! the evil deads!
hmm...you know, the cheap as hell to rent horror movies are the best-''the flesh grinders' and 'silent night bloody night' and 'floating skulls!'

the cheesier the better!

Hm, I think I should make a few additions to my list as I seem to ealier have come up with rather few films...

Nekromantik - by Jorg Buttgereit, the topic is really horrible but the film has a very strange atmosphere.

Subconscious cruelty - the most horrendous film I have ever seen. Completely sick!

Living Dead I, II - by Sam Raimi, I think: great splatter comedy.

Braindead, Bad taste - by Peter Jackson, even though I doubt whether these flicks are actually horror - really comical and OTT..

The ninth gate - by Roman Polanski, really atmospherical and interesting film.

[Alucard]

The only cool horror movie I think of right now, that hasn't already been mentioned, is Hellraiser. I didn't really like any of the sequels though.
