all pre 1980...did they just stop making decent horror flicks after '79

anyway, EvilDead should be in there too

Not really in order, these are some of my faves that I also think are incredibly important and influencial.


1. Halloween
2. The Exorcist
3. The Evil Dead
4. Suspiria
5 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
6. A Nightmare On Elm Street
7. Alien
8. The Silence Of The Lambs
9. Psycho
10 Night Of The Living Dead

Also have to give special nods to Hellraiser, The Shining, The Thing (Carpenter's version) and The Ring

lets not 4get Graffiti Bridge

Not a goddamned scary movie among your list.

"The Vanishing"

Not that bad remake but the truly haunting original Dutch
version. That was a serious shocker. I've only seen it
two times, the last time over 6 years ago and still, to
this day I am terrified to stop at restplaces along the
freeway abroad.

First movie I ever saw that made me scared to go out onto
the street again.

And it didn't even have any gore effects or gallons of
blood splashing about.

"The Exorcist"
"Poltergeist"
"Halloween"
"Friday The 13th"

tick tick bang was the scariest part.

And perhaps the most extremely scary movie:

Audition from, I think 1999.

It's a Japanese movie, very very very extremely shocking.
A man sets up fake film audition to get himself a new
wife but the one he chooses has more than 1 skeleton in
her closet. The film's finale is simply sickening and if
you have the guts to watch it, make sure you have at
least a barfbag and a shower ready for you'll throw up
your last meal and shit will run along your legs.

Other quite scary films:

Duel [1971, Spielberg]

Les Diaboliques [1955, Clouzot]

Nosferatu [1922, Murnau]

Yeah, it was extremely disturbing I agree. Not something I think I could watch again.

'Don't Look Now' as mentioned above by HolyMoses certainly gives me the creeps. That frickin' dwarf!?!?!

what was so bad about it?

Christopher said:

This is just 1 U have 2 see 2 be believed. It is the most shocking thing I think Ive seen. I was nearly in tears.

JDINTERACTIVE said:

oh come on!,


tell me in a note then if you got to.

IstenSzek said:

where can you find this? not at your run-of-the-mill video rental store, I assume?

Christopher said:

NO! You have to get yourself the dvd and watch it without
knowing too much about it beforehand.

IstenSzek said:

I'm curious too!

There was also this movie that was quite disgusting about
a kid who killed a lot of girls, as later turned out in
the garage of his home whilst his parents were away on
holiday.

He filmed the killings as they were bound to a chair and
then sold the tapes. Yuck. He'd cut off someone's hand &
let them take it in their mouth and hold it and stuff
like that.

I can't remember what it was called but it was SCARY!!!

I think it was italian or at least located in Italy. It
was also something about a guy filming or pretending to
make a documentary or something.

Anybody know which movie I mean?

summerdawn said:

U can I reckon. U can find it in the international section of most entertainment stores. Its Japanese (2000).

JDINTERACTIVE said:

thanks bud!

alrighty guys,ill rent the dvd. should i eat whilst watching it?

Christopher said:

You should have a dozen hotdogs and a gallon of choc
milk before watching it.

IstenSzek said:

i hope i dont stain my new jeans

It is Oodishon (2000) - This is a very good horror movie. It´s a mindblowing experience. Like "The Ring", "Dark Water", "Tetsuo" or other "absurd" masterpieces it really wakes you up to the horror of day to day reality. ...The chopping of the legs reminded me of another great scare film "Misery"

Not in any serious order, these are my Top 10...

1. "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (original...although I give the remake props)
2. "Jacob's Ladder"
3. "Halloween"
4. "Eraserhead"
5. "Nosferatu" (1922 version)
6. "Videodrome"
7. "The Shining"
8. "The Exorcist"
9. "Salo" (not a 'horror' film per se, but DEFINITELY fucking scary)
10. "Dawn of the Dead"

In no particular order...


1. La Cabineta (European short film about a man stuck in a telephone booth. Totally un-nerving! If you've seen it, you'll know what I mean.)
2. Night of the Living Dead (Original version)
3. Carnival Of Souls (ditto)
4. Ringu
5. Ghostwatch (UK TV, halloween 1992. Not really a movie, but extremely shit-your-pants scary.
6. Cannibal Holocaust (More disturbing than scary - definitely stays with you for quite some time.
7. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (seriously, when you see the Child Catcher when you're a child yourself...)
8. The Haunting (original, of course)
9. A Warning To The Curious (BBC, made for TV Ghost story movie from the early 70s. Absolutely terrifying)
10. Texas Chain Saw Massacre (original, of course)

Ardeo said:

Well Misery and Silence of the Lambs are rather scarey...but theu will fall in the next 10 places...

Another scary film is "Prince.org - The Movie "...
