Thank god someone else enjoyed Lord of Illusions.

dmihatmttl 09-29-2003 11:12 AM

Hell, yeah . . . a vastly underrated movie, IMO. I figured I'd get flamed for listing that one, matter of fact.


Guess I should just wait. It could still happen. ;)

5)Trilogy of Terror (Karen Black at the end-"Come in mother" as she repeatedly stabs the floor with a butcher knife!!!!)
That story in that movie scared the hell out of me for many nights! so that can be in my list.

The Ring (not too scary tho)
The Thirteenth Ghost
Grizzly (when I saw this at a young age, we were at a drive-in surrounded by woods and sitting out the back window of an old station wagon during a late night showing)
Jaws
Trilogy of Terror (especially the story with the tribal doll)

these aren't really in any order, and they aren't, by far, the only ones I consider my favorites!

knee jerk 10-18-2003 03:22 AM

"The Town that Dread Sundown" is the bane of my existence. I can relate to roguesblight because I saw this film at a drive-in in Missouri when I was a little kid. I was scared so bad we had to leave and go home. To this day I don't understand what my parents were thinking by taking us to see this horrible thing.
I still haven't tried to watch it again.

Other top scarey movies:

>Jaws
>The Exorcist
>The Ring (say what you will, I didn't sleep at night for 3 days...kept seeing that creepy-ass girl coming down my hallway as soon as the lights went out)
>Deliverance
>The Hills Have Eyes
>the chainsaw scene from Scarface....one of the nastiest things I've ever seen

CrystalLake 10-18-2003 12:25 PM

I have this movie.. I love this movie.. I have the original poster for it as well.. very cool..

roguesblight 10-19-2003 12:53 AM

Is that the one that's based on a true event, about a serial killer, killing in a town back in say the early 60's, that they never caught? if not give me a quick descrip so I can place it, I just know I saw it but can't place it if that's not it.

roguesblight 10-19-2003 12:58 AM

oh, I remember one that scare the p*ss out of me! The Boogens-or it may have been The Boogins--about these creatures that have like long tenticals with claws on the ends, and they lived underground and came up in your basement, crawlspace, etc......
and another movie that was freaky and had the same actress from boogins was Silent Scream! both came out around the same year, and it was like late 70s or early 80s! Pretty scary at the time!

knee jerk 10-19-2003 01:50 AM

I remember very little about "The Town that Dread Sundown." I'm serious about this movie, I was crying/screaming out loud as my dad drove us away from the drive-in movie. I was maybe 5 yrs old. Apparently, we'd go just about every Saturday night and it didn't matter what we saw, it was just something to do that was cheap.
Anyhows, yeah...I think its based on a true story from like the early 50's or something. All I remember is the killer wore a dusty-grey suit and like a white pillowcase on his head. At one point he attacked this kid and his girlfriend as they drove away from a high school dance or something. He beat the boy nearly to death with his bare hands then roped the girl to a tree and stabbed her to death with a knife that was tied to a trombone. It sounds stupid now but it was really twisted and that was the last thing I remember seeing before I totally lost it.

judging by what you both described it sounds like the one i remember. My mom rented that when I was younger and VCRs were the new in thing. It was a pretty creepy movie. Especially back then and knowing that they never caught the guy.

_Leatha_Face_ 10-20-2003 05:15 AM

NO ORDER ROSE RED, DUSK TILL DAWN, H6 CURSE OF M.M., EXORCIST, AND FREDDY vs JASON, BUT IM SURE WHEN I C THE NEW TCM IT WILL BUMP ONE OF THESE MOVIES OFF MY LIST :)

May is a horror film (I'm not sure why everyone is so quick to not label it horror) in which an oddball girl is looking for love and friendship. However, when she is unsuccessful at doing this the old fashioned way, she sets out to MAKE a friend. It's one of the best horror flicks I've seen in a while. Quite a breath of fresh air.

would that be rentable? I haven't seen it either, and a comment like that coming from someone who's seen a lot of horror fliks, I think that means I wouldn't mind seeing it either.

Yeah, it's rentable. Blockbuster should have it. It takes a while for the movie to get going and the horror to build up. That's not a bad thing though, it gives it an old school vibe.

roguesblight 10-21-2003 05:36 PM

well i'll make sure i stick with it then. and the old school feel is fine, as long as i know the movie is worth it in the long run.

meetthecreeper 10-23-2003 05:59 PM

The exorcist-saw this when I was a child-not a good idea
Halloween
Friday the 13th
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Nightmare on Elm Street

Jaws-I have to add-Mom took me to see this when I was 8 years old at the theater, she kept covering my eyes during the bloody parts. She didnt do a very good job, curiousity kept moving her hand in the way. I am probably the only person who lived in San Diego that NEVER went in the ocean. After that movie I wouldnt say that I was traumatized or anything but Mom bought me a lot of books about sharks and shark attacks. I gained a lot of knowledge about the animal, so much that I used to be scared that they were under my bed. Believe that, scared of SHARKS under my bed. I still will not go into the ocean ever. Probably the only thing in life that really terrifies me.
