My faves would be:

1.Nosferatu the Vampyre (Werner Herzog)

2.The Legend of Hell House (Based off the Richard Matheson novel, which is by far the best haunted house novel, leaps and bounds above Jackson's Hill House) Great adaptation. Very faithful to the book.

3. Bram Stoker's Dracula (Gary Oldman is INCREDIBLE as Dracula in this)

4. Mary Shelly's Frankenstein (Kenneth Branagh and Deniro are both really good in this)

5. Ju-on or the Grudge

6. Any Hammer Film with Vincent Price, Peter Cushing and or Cristopher Lee

7. 28 Days Later

I could go on and on. I love horror movies lmao.

Damn, your not kidding. The Exorcism Of Emily Rose has to be one of the scariest film's I've seen in recent year's.


Other great/scary movie's include: [not in order]

1: Ginger Snap's. [all]
2: The Lost Boy's.
3: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Remake/The Beginning.
4: Alien/Alien's/Alien 3/Alien Resurrection.
5: Predator 1/2.
6: Pet Semetary.
7: Creep.
8: Jeeper's Creeper's.
9: Night Of The Living Dead Remake.
10: The Return Of The Living Dead. [all]

And that's all I can think of right now.

Man is human, and the small amount of intelligence one may possess counts little or nothing against the rage of passion and the limits of human nature pressing upon him. - The Sorrows of Young Werther

Night of the living Dead / Dawn of the Dead / Day Of The Dead ("Day" is my favourite)


Same here! all the original "of the dead" films were great. I first saw Dawn when I was 5 or 6, so they never really bothered me.

For sure "The Exorcist" I'm still afraid of the dark from that movie. No movie has ever scared me like that but here are some that gave me a twinge.

Amityville Horror
28 Days
The Ring
Hellraiser
Saw
Nightmare on Elm Street
Jeepers Creepers

Paul Noise, I agree that old B&W' are so atmospheric 'n' spooky.
How about the 30's Island of Lost Souls (Mutants), 40's I Walked With a Zombie (wow, that Tall Zomb!), 60's Whatever Happened to Baby Jane (Strange dinner is servered shockers, plus an axe murder), Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte (Bruce Dern's head or bowling ball) and the classic 1968  Night Of The Living Dead (slurpy munchy noises).  And who doesn't love Mrs. Bates' light bulb scene?

Or what about "Carnival of Souls"?  I think that's the name of it--an old B&W movie told from the perspective of the dead girl, which was just plain creepy.

And I agree about the original "The Haunting" and "The Legend of Hell House": excellent flicks, both of them.

"Phantasm" also freaked me out, but, then, I was trippin' pretty hard at the time. . . .

One of the best horrors that iv see is black sheep but not because of the horror (even though it was pretty good) but because of the comedy lol

But one that chilled me is "dead silence"  mellow.gif  that left me speechless and a new fear of puppets
"Interview with a Vampire" is also a must c
