Re: What is your favourite horror film?
I love Andrews top 10 but may I take the liberty of listing my own top ten here? I voted psycho and Alien. Not my absolute favs but they are in my top 10.
1 The Omen (gave me endless nightmares when I was a kid - and the deaths are so inventive, even Final Destination cant compete.
2. Salem's Lot - (come on, who doesnt freak out when that little boy knocks on the bedroom window?)
3. Sixth Sense - (After watching this in the cinema, I departed from my friends and walked home alone. I felt uneasy and like an idiot bolted it home)
4. Juon (Cant beat the Japanese to scare the hell out of me)
5. Ringu (Its the Japanese again, so scary I need counselling)
6. The Eye (I think this was Korean. Pretty damn frightening and entertaining)
7. Psycho - (Eek eek. I love the way the film throws you a long exposition which turns out be a red herring!)
8. Alien - (The whole atmosphere freaks me out without anything actually happening!)
9. American Werewolf in London - (Greatest horror comedy ever. Sean of the Dead and Scream come close though)
10. John Carpenter's The Thing (on par with Alien, classic moments in this one)
Damn there's so many more...but I'll stop at ten :-)

Re: What is your favourite horror film?
I voted for A Nightmare on Elm Street because thats the one that sticks to my mind, as it was one of the first horror film I ever saw, so the various scenes are very vivid in my mind and at the time, I was a little scared to fall asleep.
However, I would have voted for The Skeleton Key. It's one of the best horrors ever and it's rarely mentioned in any lists or by anyone, but it's a brilliant horror film.

Skeleton Key had a very clever ending (not giving anything away), it wasnt well received critically but I'd recommend it too.superhero wrote: However, I would have voted for The Skeleton Key.

Re: What is your favourite horror film?
I voted for Dawn of the Dead and Alien. Dawn is one of my all time favourite films. Love most horrors. At the moment I'm really into the Saw films, so I'm looking forward to the next of those.
Japanese horror films tend to be the creepiest. Don't know why, but they can really creep me out.
A lot of the more recent horrors are good beause they're so bad. I can't remember watching a recent horror that made me feel scared. I've seen so many though that I guess I've become desensitised?
I think we need a good, scary vampire film to come out. Love vampires.

Just received Dusk til Dawn special edition DVD in the post... think I'll be have a night with Mr Clooney, a bowl of popcorn and the puppy this week.bevvy wrote:I've voted for Dawn of the Dead but my favourite one is not on the list - from Dusk till Dawn
which is really over the top (which I love) and also stars the fabulous Mr Clooney!
Oh and the Grudge 1 scared the hell out of me.... still not sure I could watch it in the dark.... and to top it off my boyfriends snoring now sounds like the woman who had her jaw ripped off!

Re: What is your favourite horror film?
I'm like you! I hate horror films because I over think about it in my head eventhough I know it's not real (I hope not lolz)....My BF tricked me into watching The Mist, he was like "dear it's just some stupid rubber costumes" and he was laughing and then he was bit disgusted on certain parts because it was GROSS and SCARY...! The ending was very sad that I cried so I hated the film loads....andrews wrote:I hate horror films. I absolutely hate them. As a child, I hid behind the settee when Dr Who was on. I have too vivid an imagination and am frightened to death by horror films. That said, I did see The Mist last year, and a thriller called
Anyways....I don't have a favourite but out of your list, I have seen a few and I think Exorcist was scary only because of that one scene when the girl is possessed , Dusk Til Dawn it was scary when I was 10 years old but vampires are OKAY (kinda), The Haunting I think it was a stupid film because I remember watching this with my friends so I braved it a bit and there were some funny stupid bits.......
The Eye is korean and I remember my mum wanted me to watch this with her but she used "cooking dinner" as an excuse to get away so I managed to watch this on my own and EEEEEKZ it's gross and eerie...little bit confusing tooTheyCallMeMrGlass wrote: 5.

6. The Eye (I think this was Korean. Pretty damn frightening and entertaining)
Ringu...I didn't watch the english version of this since I knew it was scary....I really didn't like this because anything with kids and horror makes it more EEK and I was scared to watch TV on my own for a bit lolz
A classic horror film for me as a kid was The Candy Man....

Re: What is your favourite horror film?
I can't stand horror films I'm too much of a scared cat!!!! (don't think thats spelt right, but can't think how to spell it!!!) I watched Candyman when I was about 12, I was too scared to look in the mirror for months afterwards in case he appeared!! I haven't seen any horror films since!!

Re: What is your favourite horror film?
I love Horror films, I voted for Nightmare on Elm Street, however some of my favorites were not on the list, so in no particular order here they are;
Friday the 13th, Final Destination, The Hitcher, The Omen, Carrie, Poltergeist, Scream, Misery, Sixth Sense and Carrie and I have probably forgotten lots!

Re: What is your favourite horror film?
The original Halloween is the best horror film...ever! Michael Myers is one scary guy! He terrified me as a child and still does now.
Other Horrors i love are Friday 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Descent and House of Wax
