    Gotta throw in these...

    The Exorcist
    Nightmare on Elm Street (only #1)
    Friday the 13th (yes, only the first one)
    Halloween (the original John Carpenter...total classic)
    The Fog (again, the original from Carpenter)

    I'm a huge fan of The Mist.

    Check out the Japanese film 'Audition'. I haven't been that freaked out in years. Very twisted!

    I guess 'Resident Evil' is scary if you're 13 and have never seen a movie before.:confused:

    I highly recommend "The Orphanage". While it isn't a flat out slasher or anything it is very suspenseful with a dash of horror and the sound in it is one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard in a film.

    I saw the previews for the 'Excorcist' the night of my CONFIRMATION!:eek:
    No sleep that night.
    The only movie by King that I saw that was scary was 'Children of the Corn'
    Never saw 'Shining'
    Best sfx, for it's time was 'Alien', w/ Carpenters 'Thing' a close second.
    I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

    I'm not the one you need to be talking to and don't **** me, boy. I live in NJ and I've mailed millions of dollars worth of equipment for both personal and work related all over the world. I know how long it takes to send stuff.

    Like I said, money or CD's. You decide.

    That old crap doesn't excite me. The original Dracula over the Gary Oldman version? Please put a shotgun in your mouth now.

    I'd also go with the JC version of The Thing as well....but in contrast to the original Alien. It's scary if you get tight. Aliens2 is much better but the rest sucked.

    I'm more of a Devils Rejects type and the Halloween remake by Rob Zombie. The Grudge and alot of other movies have come from the Asian cinema.....not much groundbreaking horror in the US that I recall. I even paid for Prom Night HD on Comcast....ugh I feel awful but I watched it.

    I watch movies all the time, late at night, daytime, whatever....as I rarely sleep. If I could handle subtitles, I would watch even more.

    What was that movie that the chimney fell on the ppl at the end of the movie?.....that's cool. And the Trilogy of Terror w/ Karen Black haunts me to this day. I don't like that crazy voodoo doll shite.

    Oh, you child. The original Dracula has no special effects other than the damn rubber bats on strings. It has not a note of soundtrack except for during the opening credits. It is a masterpiece.

    And yes, Karen Black squatting, dragging the blade across the floor stays with you doesn't it?

    I thought 'The Shining' was really good, even though SK hated it. I still think the best SK movie adaptation was 'Misery'. Kathy Bates was off the charts.:eek:

    Doro... glad you mentioned Devil's Rejects. House of a 1000 Corpses is also stellar.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore
