I like the Universal classic horror movies, and I also like the early Hammor movies.

I love the original Halloween! Especially the 'extended version'. I can't wait until the Friday 13th box set comes out in October. I also love all the "classics" as well.

I'm a total Horror film nut. I have a cool avatar that i'm waiting for jay to put up. It's the zombie with the worms in the eyes from, well, Zombie. But as for good movies you have to go with Dead Alive (AKA Braindead). That is a true classic.

Alien, Aliens, Psycho, Halloween, the original Nightmare on Elm Street (and #3 Dream Warriors holds a special place in my heart as does The New Nightmare which was a damn cool concept), Phantasm, Evil Dead 1 and 2, Army of Darkness. All are good watches. And, despite having some pretty bad scripts to the films he starred in, I love Kane Hodder as Jason Voorhees. None better.

I agree with Bossk. All those are great movies. My all time favorite has to be Halloween. I also love the cheezy '80's horror movies. Like "Alone in the Dark", "Slumber Party Massacre", etc. I am also a big fan of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre! The re-make was pretty good. Jesica Biel was, well great!

That movie needs more love

Ah The Exorcist. That movie is truly a masterpiece. Especially the Version You've Never Seen. I still get the willies from the spider walk. Yikes!

The Exorsist
The Blair Witch Project (while it was still very unknown!!)

Yes the Exorcist! Awsome! The Blair Witch Project was a breath of fresh air. So simple, yet so effective. I loved the Thing as well. (original & remake- I love all John Carpenter's work) I have yet to see a movie by M. Night Shyamalan that I liked. Signs was pretty good until the last half hour or so. The ending killed the entire movie.

I totally agree with the Signs thing. I didn't care for the ending. I liked Sixth Sense the first time I saw it but it's really a one trick pony. Once you know how it ends there isn't much to it. Every movie sense Sixth Sense has seemed like the twist at the end is being forced out. (By every movie I mean every Night movie)

Oh and Sixth Sense is for sure a horror movie.

Anyone seen Opera?

man i swaer signs had hte best first 45min that i have ever seen. but th only thing that could surpass that was how bad the end was. it was by far the stupidest ending that has graced gods earth. it was almost as if they got to the half way point and said ah shit we're running out of time and i just don't feeling like do any mroe good work, lest jsut put some shti together.

exocit was awsome. the scream movies were great loved the 2nd one the most. i despised the sixth sense, soemthing about the movie just really bothered me, mayeb it was the fact that when i saw it i was expecting allot since everying one said it was great, mayebb cus it was just a bad movie i dont know i jsut didnt like it.

i think it could have been because everyone may have hyped it up for ya...
i knew nothing about it when i saw it... so i was in absolute awe...

but when i saw Kill Bill after millions had told me it was a must see...
i was so pissed when i finished watching it...
i mean it was okay but i was totally let down....
thank god it ended the way it did or else that movie would have been a total loss

To me, Blair Witch was a joke. You wanna talk about horror movies that have no fright factor whatsoever, that movie is it. The only thing I feared was that I would lose my lunch because I forgot to take a Dramamine before watching it. It's worse than sitting in the cabin of a boat during a hurricane. Sorry, guys. Blair Witch was a stupid movie that only did well because of creative marketing. If not for that marketing, it would have flopped horribly. I just remember that within a couple months of its video release, local stores had marked it down to half it's initial selling price and used stores had tons of copies that they couldn't even sell for US$3-4. That DVD is in so many stores' bargain bins now. Testament to a "classic", eh?

Sorry, I don't mean to rag on it. This is just an opinion much like any of yours. I'm not trying to persuade anyone, just expressing my opinion.

Hey, I was looking forward to the movie as much as anyone else. Thought it would be such a life giver to what was rapidly becoming a dead genre. Yet when I walked out of the theater, my wife, our friends, and I all wanted our money and those couple hours of our lives back.

Gimme The Exorcist any day of the week.

The reason I liked Blair Witch was because it left a lot to the imagination. Not many things do that anymore. You know the old saying, 'sometimes it's scarier if you don't see it'. There is nothing more vivid than the imagination. If you take it at face value, theres not much too it. I have an over active imagination. Sometimes thats not a good thing.

Anyway, a movie that has not been mentioned yet, that is one of my all time favorites, Kubrick's The Shining.

I liked Blair Witch for what it did for us independent filmmakers. Suddenly a 30,000 dollar movie had a shot at making millions and for about three weeks studios took notice. But yeah other than that the movie sucked.

As for the Village. It sucks hard. I didn't care for it much. I don't want to say anything and give away the ending, but I thought it sucked.

Yes OPERA is a good movie. If you have never seen a Dario Argento movie this is the one to start with. You more than likely won't find a better Giallo film anywhere.

the reason i liked blair witch was because i saw it almost immediatly when it began to hit local theaters... and I had never heard of it before in my life!!!
so going into it i had no clue what it was about and most importantly i didnt know it was fake!
now i know this sounds dumb but i thought it was kinda like a documentry which shows what happened to these kids...
so when it got to the end of the movie where the camera falls.... chills went up my spine and i literally went home looking over my shoulder every couple feet...
thats why i think i liked it so much... its one of those movies where it works one time i think..
im sure if i watched it now it would seem pretty lame... but thats why i put what i put in brackets beside it!

the shining terrified me as a kid... but now i just appreciate it for it originality...

sigh to the village...
a couple of my friends told me the other day the same thing..
they said it wasnt even worth the money...
but then again people said that about Unbreakable... and i thought it was a damn good movie..
ill definatly wait for DVD though...

i dont know if these can really classify as horror but i enjoyed them simply because they had that really cheesy horror aspect to them...
anyone seen the house or the house 2?
lol
