Favorite Horror Movies

Sleepwalkers is awesome.

 

KRAMPUS (2015)

 

I love horror movies, but when asked this I always leave some out!

The Shining
The Excorcist
Rosemarys Baby
Midsommar
Hereditary (I’m excited for Ari Aster’s upcoming work)
The VVitch
Suspiria
REC
Sinister (not my fav but a movie that really creeped/scared me somehow, whoever made that soundtrack is absolutely cursed)

 

Have you seen The Sentinel (1977)? I can highly recommend it based on your picks.

The Sentinel (1977) - Official Trailer

 

I’ve got over 3000 movies under my belt, and seen just about every single old school horror movie there is These are my all time faves:

The Birds
Carnival Of Souls
The Fearless Vampire Killers
The Haunting
Burnt Offerings
Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1956 version)
The Tenant
Psycho
Race With The Devil
Rosemary’s Baby
The Shining
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Jigoku

 

This film creeped me out and made my skin crawl. I couldn’t sleep well that night.

 

HA HA! I loved that film! but for the laughs more than the scares.

Funny thing though, I plan on going to Sweden to meet @Stacken77 one day in the future, and he'll probably be living in the middle of nowhere countryside by then.

I sure hope my visit's nothing like that... ( 〇 _〇）

 

I have not! I will definitely watch it, thanks for the recommendation! I’m always looking for things to watch.

 

It’s really so unsettling! I sort of love those movies that kind of make your stomach feel like a rock and you can’t stop thinking about when you’re through watching it.

Obligated to mention this after my post in the War in Ukraine — Megathread.


DEAD SUSHI (2012)

I love East Asian cinema, and this is hardly the best of it. But it was surprisingly good for being so obviously low-budget. And I'm gonna give props to Noboru Iguchi for creating something so comically bizarre in classic Japanese style.

Would recommend.

 

The Silence of the Lambs still creeps me out.

 

Very similar to what we're going through.

 

My favourite of the series was always Red Dragon.

Red Dragon - Wheelchair Burns

But for sheer creep factor, the worst had to be Hannibal.

Hannibal Brain Scene

 

I've seen this 1408 film mentioned here a few times now.

Worth watching then?

 

Horror Sci-Fi...

Event Horizon. (Trailer 1997)

Perhaps District 9 could be considered Sci-Fi Horror as well... certainly creepy.

District 9 Trailer #2

 

Yes.

"Although not a critically acclaimed horror movie, 1408 (2007) was actually an incredibly enlightening horror movie; this movie, for a lot of people, may have come across as a simple ghost story narrative in a haunted hotel room, when in reality the story was a lot deeper than that. Adapted from a short story written by Stephen King, 1408 is actually a modern-day narrative that parallels Dante’s journey into the depths of hell in Dante’s Inferno (1427)."

The hell is in our mind. And that's the scariest thing.

 

Pan's Labyrinth
The Cave
The Mist

Pan’s Labyrinth is a masterful film period.

 

Check out Peter Jackson’s film “Dead Alive”. One of the best horror comedy’s you’ll see. “Stand back boy, this calls for divine intervention!”

 

Great thread.

Alien
Dead Alive (comedy horror)
Poltergeist
The Babadook
House on Haunted Hill
The Mothman Prophecies
The Exorcist
The Ring

...a few of my favorites.

 

Just read this. @Damocles, I thought I was the only one who felt this way about The Fly. I've seen that movie many times and towards the end, I am sobbing, totally bawling my eyes out. It is heartbreaking.

 

@ZFire, your comment about Kurt Russell's glorious hair made me laugh. Hell, I'd be jealous of that hair.

 

Got you all covered for the 31st.
