So, whats the best horror movies?  Please note, it's hard to spook me.

John Carpenter's "The Thing" was one of the rare movies to give me chills.  So I guess you can use that as an example?

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.

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

Dawn of the Dead (2004 remake)
28 Days later

I guess those make it obvious that I have a thing for zombie movies, huh?

[SallyMutant]

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?

[CausticGnostic]

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"    that left me speechless and a new fear of puppets
"Interview with a Vampire" is also a must c
