since its almost Halloween...

Ok gang, since its getting clsoe to halloween, I'm wondering whats everyones fave. scary movie?

Me..

Halloween - truly terrifying and for those of you who have been over to the apartment know, thanks to Billy, that the theme freaks me out.

The Entity - I watched this my freshmen year and then read the book. Truly unnerved me, plus the fact it was supposedily absed ona true story and that it was still going to this day.

The Shining - Ok, some of the images and camera tricks Kubrick did are just make me queasy and when the blood pours out, it almost makes me seasick and who wasn't freaked out by those twins!

Ok, I have others scary movies I like, but those, well those are probably my top picks.

So lets hear some more from everyone else.

 

Hellraiser 1,2 and 3. The rest sucked. Pinhead is the man. Pure Evil. He could kick Freddie or Jason's ass anyday.

Candyman wasn't a great or even good movie but it did freak me out (and I don't get freaked out by scary movies) when I was home alone watching it. I had to turn it off and watch Cool World instead.

Psycho-Come stay with us at the beautiful Bates Motel. You'll love our quiet rooms. Our friendly staff will keep an eye on you like no one else will. Tired and cold from a long rainy drive? Well come in and take a stab at our steamy hot showers. Mother won't mind. Norman Bates, gotta love the crazy SOB. Both old and new versions are awesome.

 

Paul, I have only seen Hellraiser 1 and bits and pieces of 3. They freaked me out! I read the book, "The Hellbound Heart" by Clive barker when I was in 8th grade, during achievement tests and I can honestly say thats the first time during the day I was freaked out!

 

Dracula staring Bela Lugosi

All the Christopher Lee Hammer studios stuff...

sheesh you guys got no appreciation for the classics

 

Honestly i've never like the Holloween series, Freddy's the man though.

My favorite scary movies.... hmm, its hard to pick, but i'd have to say anything with Pauly Shore in it.

 

Ed, I have seen some of the Hammer stuff. I was probably 8 or 9 and I wanna say USA used to show them all the time. Now I haven't seen any of it recently. But what I recall I liked.

 

I've always been a big fan of the Nightmare on Elmstreet movies (1-3. I lost interest with 4 and up).

Did you all know they are working on a new movie, Freddie vs Jason?
Clickie .

Now that will be one hell of a time!

 

I'm with you there Mike2 and Jake. Freddy is the man. Jake, ever see Wes Craven's New Nightmare? That one freaked me out a bit. Kinda brought Mr. Kreuger back to his roots.

Anybody see The Ring yet? And if so, how are you still alive . I really dug that movie, although my wife didn't. It really creeped her out. If you haven't seen it, go.

 

Yes, I saw Wes Craven's New Nightmare. I loved the way they brought Freddie out of the film, so to speak, to terrorize Heather Langencamp. That was cool!

 

I sooo want to see 'The Ring'!

I liked Freddy up until they made him campy, which was around 4. A new nightmare wasn't bad.

The Freddy vs. jason film. I am soo excited they are finally going to go thru with it. There have been rumors for a good awhile about the match-up. Nice to see thats its gonna happen.

 

You wanna know another movie that's scary as H E double hockey sticks?

To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar

I couldn't sleep for like, 3 days, after I saw this movie. It still brings me nightmares.

 

Hit a little too close to home for ya?

 

Oh no! I've been outed!

 

Hey Jake, H E Double Hockey Sticks is a classic in our house!

***I flip you, I flip you!***

And I'm a big Freddy fan also.

 

My favorite scary movie is
"The Sixth Sense".

Some of you might think that is lame,
but I saw it the first night it opened with
a full audience at night which adds to the
freakiness energy effect.
I nearly crapped my pant a dozen times
with fright!
Kid: "Come here, I want to show you my Dad's gun." (turns around)
Me: "Aaaaaahhhh!!!!! Holy *tthnppbbthpbth*! I crapped my pants!"

Another movie that unnerved me was
"The Mothman Prophesies" (sp?)
Lame ending, but disturbing images and
a great build up. Freaky.

 

Nah Trae, 6th Sense definatly had it's moments of scare. (all the dead people in his house... although, you'd hope a realiter would tell you about that)

 

I always liked, "When a Stranger Calls", what made this so good is the Stranger didn't perform any unreal physical feats or get shot in the head 100 times, but very, very creepy.

"Have you checked the children"......

 

two words: SPICE WORLD

 

[face_shocked] [face_shocked] [face_shocked] [face_shocked] [face_shocked]


Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

You are evil, Otto. Just plain EVIL!!!

 

Roger, my little brother( I say little he's 19)thats like 1 of his all time fave. scary movies.

That one and the 'Town that dreaded Sundown'.

 

I think When A Stranger Calls was every babysitters nightmare! Amityville Horror really creeped me out when I was younger.

But I think one of the scariest movie experiences was when my mother took me to see Cujo... then expected me to go home & cuddle w/ our St. Bernard

 

Exorcist.

 

"Something Wicked This Way Comes", "Aracniphobia".

Gary's favorite is "Night of the Living Dead" , any version. Something about Zombies that he doesn't like.

 

Well most "scary" movies don't really scare me. The movies that do scare me are the one that leave it all to your imagination, like The Blair Witch Project. I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen it (LISA!), but the ending creeps me out everytime.

 

Bree, I remember watching "Night of the Living Dead" gosh I must have been 7 or so, just being freaked out by the zombies. The fact there wasn't a real happy ending and the zombies just would not stop....
