Favorite horror movie

[youvalss]

I like The Shining. It's a great movie and pretty creepy too. I also like Nightmare on Elm Street 1, I think the first one is the best.

I'd put Cloverfield up there just for it being revolutionary.

But I gotta say the Shining, the Exorcist, and that horro movie with Robert Dinero

Re: Favorite horror movie

The Shining and The Exorcist were the only two movies of its time that I found great by today's standards.

But I'm sorry... I must be living in the new generation, because I can't find movies of their respective times to be great only because I didn't live in that time. That said, I'm up with the current stuff.

My favorite is Saw, hands down. Not for the horror aspects, but for the movie itself while it rests in the horror genre. If I were to give a movie praise for it being horrific, I'll have to give a nod to The Ring. Very subtle moments of scariness, and really made me think afterward as well.

This and the first Scream are my favorites. I'm more of a newer horror movie fan, so while I like older stuff I find I'm not a "purist" like a lot of people are (and I can understand where they're coming from).

Re: Favorite horror movie

The FIRST time I saw Scream, it was the best Horror flick I'd ever seen.

It's been overdone since then, but the completely new style to it, giving the character's "smarts" and making fun of the cliches was pretty revolutionary at the time.


Also...Stephen King's "It" because Pennywise the Clown still scares the living bejeesus out of me!

Re: Favorite horror movie

The problem is that today even the real horror movies (not the parody ones) are half comedy and half creepy. It seems like today's horror movies have become a parody about themselves, without even meaning to be.
OH and BTW, in 1990 (I was 14) I made a Freddy Krueger glove: I took old leather glove, used a pot cover for the metal and took 4 blades off 2 scissors. I built it and it looked like the real thing! No1 believed me that I made it. Once I took it to the army and people got excited and wanted to put it on and try it. Too bad I threw it away when we moved...
