Best made:
The Shining

Those three are the scariest films ever made

I detest Scream with a passion. It's not a horror. There are no paranormal elements. It seeked to profit from horror while smugly laughing at it. The mask looks ridiculous/laughable. It's too glossy, to colourful. It's the Hollyoaks of horror. It's aimed at the non existent corporate percection of young people. To be honest, it's a joke. I haven't liked wes craven since.
 
Yup me too, sadly, the reason he looked so scary was because he was dying of Cancer at the time the film was made :( Thats what gave him the gaunt look, and also why he wasnt in the latter parts of the film, because he died before it had finished being filmed.

Man, I love you :) I'm with you all the way on this thread. Horror is the best. Most of my girly frienRAB won't watch stuff on their own like me, but I don't care, even if I do have nightmares. :D

This might well just turn out to be a long post, so please forgive me.

My faves (in no order):

House of 1000 Corpses
The Devil's Rejects
Evil Dead 1 and 2
Saw
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original and 2003 remake)
Jeepers Creepers
Night of the Living Dead (original and remake)
Dawn of the Dead (original and remake)
The Descent
Creep
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
Re-Animator
Cabin Fever
Wrong Turn
28 Days Later
House By The Cemetery
Zombie Flesh Eaters

and a squillion more.

What do those of you who've seen House of 1000 Corpses and The devil's Rejects think of them?
I think Rob Zombie made two excellent films. Does anyone know if he's making any more?

And why did the makers of Jeepers Creepers have to go spoil it in the second half of the film? I was truly creeped out by the first bit, but once I'd properly seen the Creeper it annoyed me. :mad:

Anyone else here looking forward to Hostel? I can't bloody wait. The more twisted a horror the better for me. :o :D
 
Smoo, I think you and I will need to hire a phonebox for our 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects Appreciation Society as they were hated by quite a few.
I soooo love your taste in movies as well, Jeepers Creepers 2 was cool as well and I liked Saw 2 also.
The horror genre is so underrated at the moment.
 
Hi AngiBear :)

We should start a (two-person) fan club, perhaps?! :D
I just totally love both those films. I've been a fan of Rob's music for many years too.
One bit in The Devil's Rejects that really made me laugh was when Otis and Baby were holding those people hostage in the motel. Otis is telling the 'older' woman to take her clothes off, and one of the male hostages asks Otis to please stop - it's not sane.
Otis says: 'Boy, the next thing that comes outta your mouth better be some brilliant f**king Mark Twain shit, 'cos it's definitely getting chiselled on your tombstone.'

LOL! I love that :D

I love your taste in horror too, seeing as we both seem to like the same :)
 
Heres my list:

The Shining
Nightmare on Elm Street
Wes Cravens New Nightmare (sorry I thought this was really good! :o)
Scream 1 & 2, (3 was AWFUL!)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (remake :o)

Jeepers Creepers was good until you saw the creeper. They did a really good job of building suspence, and then they just ruined it! As for the sequel, I'm sorry but that was the WORST horror film ever made! You didn't even get the song! The Ring and the Grudge did nothing for me either. And I saw the originals.

Wrong Turn, 28 days later, The Exorsist, The Omen, and the Haunting are all decent enough too.
 
Two memorable horror cinema shorts: The Contraption, with Richard O'Brien, in which he builRAB a mysterious machine as his wife's voice berates him off-screen.
Dream House, in which a family have a series of violent visions concerning their new home.
Sadly, I've no idea where you'd ever find copies of either but someone may remember them. :eek:
 
I'm a real wimp but wasn't scared by Blair Witch at all, whereas my sister, who isn't a wimp, was scared!

She said it was because it was all left to the viewer's imagination.

I must have a rubbish imagination coz I wanted to see more. (The snot up the girl's nose was quite scary though!)
 
Quarantine scared me but only because I watched it on my own in the dark and just as it was ending somebody screamed outside. I nearly hid in my wardrobe! :o

The only film I can honestly say has really frightened me was Poltergeist. I was only about 10 when I watched it and I hid all my dolls and cuddly toys in My Sisters room, slept with the light on and had nightmares about it for ages afterwarRAB!

TBH I found REC scarier than Quarantine (even though it was filmed practically shot for shot) I think it was because I dont know Spanish and it felt faster paced! anyone going to see REC2?

Most modern horrors dont actually scare me, in fact most of them are quite funny! Drag Me To Hell is a great example (well apart from when
Mrs Ganush jumps out at her in the shed I must admit I jumped then lol
:D)

Gonna watch Heartless tonight hope its good!
