Well, It's October, & obviously Halloween will be here, so I thought I'd take the time to make a thread asking everyone to post your favorite horror movies [by list or cover art...which ever floats your boat]. I'll set it off with a few of my favorites......

I will post other pics later too

My absolute favorite horror movie (maybe my fave movie of all time..)

I absolutely hate horror movies because memories of them terrorize me for weeks after.

That said, I can't stay away from them. I find them incredibly attractive.

I am Scorpio after all and it's no coincidence that Halloween occurs during Scorpio season -- it appeals to Scorpio's obsession with probing psychological fear, the shadow side of humanity and underworld/otherworldly forces.

Here are the ones that have kept me up for days:

• The Shining
• Psycho
• The Exorcist
• Poltergeist
• Rosemary's Baby

Also, there was one I can't remember -- it wasn't good quality -- but it included a reference to 3:00 a.m being the witching hour. I had never heard that. After seeing it for years I used to wake up in fear at 3 a.m. and hoped no supernatural shadows were coming out to play in the hallway. I eventually asked my former editor about it -- she was a Wiccan/witch-- and she claimed that witching hour tale wasn't true. (I don't believe her).

Yeah, I don't do that scary for Halloween or anytime.

My October/Halloween movies are

Hocus Pocus

The Addams Family movies (1 & 2 only)

Arsenic and Old Lace.

My cousins and I used to watch Hocus Pocus every Halloween when we were younger. And I have to admit, I think I cried off of that movie.......once.

I always watch Halloween & Halloween 2 on Halloween.

I totally agree with you.

All great picks you chose too. I'm a big fan of all 5 films. Let me ask you, did you find it more or less creepy that they didn't show what the baby looked liked in "Rosemary's Baby"? I've always found it extremely creep that they didn't, while others hated it.

That's pretty interesting . I have a feeling I kknow what movie you're referring to, but I can't pinpoint it either.....

Not seeing the baby was much more effective -- although I did want to see it, but it probably would have just been cheesy.

I'm a big fan of all of these as well. I agree about "Alien" too . I actually like all of the "Friday The 13th" movies except for part 8 & the one where he has in Space

Those two are just sad . They should have called Part 8 Jason on a boat And don't forget the terrible 5th one

I find it curious that you chose part 2 of all of them . I liked part 2 myself. But I think some of us have heard about the whole "gay" undertone of that film.

I'm gonna tell ya... LOVE IT.

I had to backtrack on Nightmare franchise, at that I only really like the 2nd one. I watched this movie one night after waking up at midnight. WTF! My mouth was open all night and I keep hitting my husband trying to wake his azz up to see this crazy scary shit.

The subtle gay undertones, only added to this movie craziness.

P.S. Oh, I forgot one, MOTEL HELL

I used to work with someone who was really religious and even the movies you mentioned were too scary for her.

I have three words for you

Paranormal Activity 4

OK, that's two words and a number.

OK, that's one word repeated twice, but you get the drift.
