i like horror movies where a lot is suggested, but nothing much shown. i don't really like movies with a lot of gore, unless they are very inventive about it and the depiction of the gore is somehow necessary or at least important to the story being told.
not in any particular order:
1. The Omen
2. Rosemary's Baby
3. The Blair Witch Project
4. Saw
5. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original 70s Tobe Hooper version)
6. Last House on the Left
7. The Thing (Carpenter)
8. Alien
9. Night of the Living Dead
10. Ring (US version)
11. Dawn of the Dead
12. Suspiria
13. Thirst
14. Black Sunday
15. Nosferatu (Herzog)
16. The Exorcist
17. Eyes Without a Face
18. It
19. Patrick
20. Nadja
21. The Serpent and the Rainbow.

What's everyone's favorite horror movie? Personally I really enjoyed Hide and Seek (I wouldn't really call it horror, but that's its classification) and Saw 4. Both great movies. I mostly enjoy a good plot, and good acting.
Oh no, not with those cheasy zombies with their grey make up and slow lumbering (unless it was in the plot that somebody needed to get eaten - the zombies could move suprisingly fast then)
Best Zombie movie has got to be 28 days later, and it also serves as a cautionary tale never to trust animal rights activists - they value animal lives higher than humans.
Originally posted by TyrannosauruschexAll the zombie movies I've seen are on the cheesy-looking side, but I liked the first DotD because of the plot. Survival was everything and if they couldn't get to "an island", barricading oneself in a mall seemed pretty inventive to me. Granted, I was 17 at the time...

Originally posted by Tyrannosauruschexthe one with the grey makeup is Night of the Living Dead, George A. Romero's first effort. The makeup in Dawn of the Dead, his second zombie movie, was done by the brilliant Tom Savini. personally i'd go with DOTD as the best zombie movie for its satirical humour aimed squarely at consumerism - the protagonists share a shopping mall with a host of zombies who still have the shopping instinct. 28DL and all other modern zombie movies owe a great debt to Romero's pioneering masterpieces.

The Vampire Lovers was a fav many moons ago. Ingrid Pit had the most amazing breasts I'd ever seen.

These days I keep copies of the Karloff Frankenstein trillogy, Universal new how to make horror flicks in the thirties. Lee's Dracula (although you can't get it in thr UK version yet) and Lee's Mummy.

Originally posted by BlackampYes, good one. Very creepy but without the robotic power of lee's version.

I was a fan of Vincent Price although some of the Corman films haven't stood the test of time well.
A good watch if you like the old black and whites is the bride of frankenstein.
Originally posted by divegeesteryou have to hand it to Corman though, his stuff is pretty good for the kind of budgets he used to work with.

have you seen an old movie with a killer sarcophagus retrieved from the ocean depths (it had been aboard a ship that sank)? i saw it many moons ago, but can't recall the name. it gave me the willies - i was then a teenager watching it late at night, home alone.
