Posted July 6, 2006 I love scary movies (even though none of them scare me). I just wanted to know what every ones favorite scary movie is. I am a George A. Romero:bowdown: fanboy. So my favorite scary movie is the original "Night of the Living Dead". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 6, 2006 Favourite scary movie...hmm. Got to be the first, laughed so much to that. Not a big fan of horror movies. Though I did enjoy 28 Days Later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 6, 2006 A big fan of 'Candyman' . Doesn't actually scare me (no movies do) but I think Tony Todd is masterful in that role , plus the way the film is shot creates a foreboding atmosphere. Also love the creepy soundtrack to it , such a shame that it was cheapened by truely awful sequels (as usual). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 6, 2006 28 days later was a good take on the zombie movie. I really liked some of the stuff they did. helped by the presence Cillian Murphy and Daniel Craig. Dark Water scared the shit out of me good and proper. amazing build up to a truly great ending. had me screaming like a girl =) Ringu. the antidote to modern horror. it makes you think, it's genuinely creepy as fuck and the penultimate scene is a masterpiece of cinema.

Posted July 6, 2006 the fighting scenes in Freddy Vs. Jason were really cool thought the story was scraping the barrel a bit. No scary movies have ever really scared me, though the book of 'The Shining' did, it was miles better and scarier than the movie ever could be. Anyway favourite scary movie of all time has to either the 'texas chainsaw masacre' or the 'Scream' movies just because of the incredibly illogical plot twists in them, quite funny as well.

Posted July 6, 2006 "Scary Movie 3" Haha wasn't entirely scary at all, but it has Scary in the title:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 6, 2006 Saw was a wierldy funny, yet disorientating film. Great film, I want to see the second one. Taking Lives is a good film also. Thers loads more i cant remember. got to do my papers now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 6, 2006 28 days later was a good take on the zombie movie. I really liked some of the stuff they did. helped by the presence Cillian Murphy and Daniel Craig. Daniel Craig was in 28 days later? Are you sure you don't mean Christopher Eccleston? I agree with that though, fantastic movie. My other votes would have to be The Invasion of the Body Snatchers (both the original and the remake with donald sutherland), and Ringu and Ring2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 6, 2006 The Invasion of the Body Snatchers That reminded me of watching Day of the Triffids, which was pretty cool. It's also quite similar to 28 Days Later in its opening scenes, with an abandoned hospital and a deserted London etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 6, 2006 That reminded me of watching Day of the Triffids, which was pretty cool. It's also quite similar to 28 Days Later in its opening scenes, with an abandoned hospital and a deserted London etc. I still haven't seen Day of the Triffids. Its another one of these things that i've been putting off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 6, 2006 For me, the Blair Witch Project. There was no gore, no CG monsters and no serial killer with one-liners (ala Freddy Krueger). Just the creepiness and desperation of being stuck in the woods during Halloween with an unseen evil worked so well. and although they arent considered scary movies, i was truly creeped out by Silence of the Lambs and Signs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 6, 2006 Oooh toghie. I would say either The Shining, the original Night of The Living Dead or Event Horizon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 6, 2006 Event Horizon. I bought that on video when I was about twelve hoping for some Star Trek style space adventures. Imagine my horror. Imagine it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 6, 2006 Event Horizon scared the hell out of me. Also I used to watch Poltergeist 1 and 2 when I was kid which also was pretty freaky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 6, 2006 I bought that on video when I was about twelve hoping for some Star Trek style space adventures. Imagine my horror. Imagine it. Whoo boy, I can barely imagine. I bought it because I wanted a horror move, and it still shocked me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 6, 2006 I crapped myself when i first saw Event Horison, it was on sky movies at half ten so i thought i might aswell watch it since I had seen everything else on, and it turned out to be one of the best films i've ever seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
