Something Wicked this way comes... - SUGGEST A HORROR MOVIE TO WATCH

fuzzy_death Bat Newbie Offline The hairer the scarier! Posts: 15 Cape Town Gender:	SUGGEST A HORROR MOVIE TO WATCH Nov 23^rd, 2006, 7:06pm There are many good horror movies. I love exploring the genre and I am certain there are others who do too. I dare say, is there anyone else who has a movie or two to suggest worth watching? Here are a few of my favourites: The Ring Event Horizon John Carpenter's Mouth Of Madness Angel Heart

My favourite horror movies of all time:
The Fly (David Cronenberg)
The Thing (the Carpenter remake, not the Howard Hawkes original)
Re-Animator (Stuart Gordon)
Braindead (Peter Jackson's best flick ever)
The Exorcist (William Friedkin)
American Werewolf in London (John Landis)
Altered States (Ken Russell)
The Howling (Joe Dante)
Evil Dead 2 (Sam Raimi)
Alien (Ridley Scott)
Day of the Dead (George Romero)
The Hitcher (Robert Harmon)
Night of the Creeps (Fred Dekker)

Honorable mention must go to the Italian contingent
Zombie (Lucio Fulci)
Suspiria (Dario Argento)
Demons (Lamberto Bava)
Cannibal Holocaust (Ruggero Deodata)

Some Recent Ones
Hostel (Eli Roth)
3 Extremes (various directors)
Jeepers Creepers
Audition (Takashi Miike)
Slither (James Gunn)

In terms of horror movies that scare me? None. I haven't been scared in a horror movie since I laughed at Friday 13th Part 3D when I was 14 years old.

This is always tough, cause there's 'serious' horror I love and funny horror I love, and I think they both deserve their place so:

Shaun of the dead
Evil dead 1,2
Army of Darkness
House of 1000 Corpses
Devil's rejects
Brain Dead
Fright Night
Final Destination

THEN:
Exorsism of Emily Rose
Dawn of the dead (original and remake)
House on Haunted Hill
Hostel

I found Underworld/Blade those type of movies boring!

By the way DON'T MISS PLANET TERROR. It's coming out 4 April. Robert Rodriguez zombie sci-fi. It is utterly ridiculous and stupid-cool. Sexy, gross, funny and wild. My pick for the year. (but then again Cloverfield hasn't come out yet)

Think Rodriguez was being really self indulgent with this one. Also enjoyed 30 Days of Night - really loved the vampires.

Most of what you guys have listed is kid's play.

Jacob's Ladder (Tim Robinson)
Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things (hippee zombies)
Horror Hotel (caused my first sleepless night)
Blair Witch Project (I watch this every halloween)
Psycho (original, yet based on the same character as the Texas Chainsaw Massacre)
Halloween (original - not the Rob Zombie crap remake)
Alien (yes it is a horror flick!)

Alien is most definitely a horror and damn it is good.
Re-watched it at last year's horror fest on the big screen (for the first time ever) and wow - great movie.

You reminded me of another classic - The Thing
and my personal favourite (because of the characters and performances are so strong) Poltergeist (dir. by Tobe "Texas Chainsaw" Hooper)
