It's Halloween, so what's your favourite horror movie?

[Durlston]

Can anyone recommend a genuinely scary horror film? Haven't seen a film that actually made me jump since I watched the Japanese version of the Ring ages ago...

The Shrine is pretty gruesome and unpredictable. For a low budget film it scared the sh1t out of me.

The hills have eyes(original)
The Audition

Alien
Jeepers Creepers 1 and 2.
Day of the Dead.

If people like Comedy-horror then a couple that defy explanation are Sharknado and Zombeaver. Also the classic Bad Taste.

 

[BadFish]

Lots of stone cold classics mentioned but one a bit more modern I enjoyed was the conjuring.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

The Shining.

 

[Boys 9d]

Summer Holiday is my least favourite.

Poltergeist for me was far to young to be watching that another one was IT by Steven King.But the one that made me have to sleep with a light on for a few nights has to be the 1st nightmare on elm street.

Never been a fan of the genre particularly, some of the slasher movies are just pornographic in their violence.

Someone mentioned Alien which is obviously a brilliant Sci-Fi/Horror Hybrid but so is this...

Good horror films are so few and far between. I found this one quite unsettling though.

I really do not get the genre either, people who are scared of films about ghosts and monsters especially adults need to have a long, hard look at themselves. The only things that are scary to me are things that could potentially happen. There is a brilliant episode of Luther where a man hides under a woman's bed and then creeps out from under it, now that to me is PROPER horror because it is in the realms of possibility. Not a story about a house with a ****ing old ghost in it.

Loved Case 39. The scene when the girl moves like a spider (not the clip below) is truly chilling.

I've never liked horror fillums that just try and make you jump; I don't find being made to jump (like when the alien comes out of that egg thing in Alien) scary, it just annoys the **** out of me.
Wifey and I watched the Blair Witch Project after all the hype; what a load of old toilet, some bint filming herself going "oh ****ing hell" a lot. No thanks.

 

[El Presidente]

Carpenter's original Halloween for me.

I'm going to nominate Duel, the 70's film about the psycho lorry driver. Only a 15 cert I think, but for tension, it's up there. Not sure it totally falls into the 'Horror' category but...
