To me I judge a good horror film by how much suspense it has and how much I am drawn in the fear the characters have. High Tension, Texas Chainsaw (original), HOTC and also alot of the Asian horror (and I don't mean The Story Of Ricky).

Then I have films that disturb me. Films like Irreversable and August Underground.

Then there is just a good fun gory horror film like 28 days, Dawn of the dead etc.

Then the classics like Argento and Fulci. Also films like Last House and I spit on your grave.

But please, no more shit rubbish indi horror like Children of the Dead and Cradle of Fear. No more handicam home mades please.

I've been more disturbed by extremely graphic scenes rather than been scared while watching a movie.

The Exorcist on the big screen was pretty creepy especially the sound.

But like a lot of you guys have mentioned I think I've become desensitized. Hellraiser II and Suspiria scared the shit out of me when I was younger but its been a long time since I experienced more than the usual jumps something like say [REC] delivered.

*Yawn* it's a little early for wisdom sharing.

Ok, now is good.

I was actually pretty freaked out by Prince of Darkness the first time I saw it. I turned out all the lights and got stoned before hand. It was a good cold fear, and with such shitty cover art too. For a lesser known movie, I really like it.

I have never been scared at any movie. I have been watching since i was a baby and was told i would just stare at the tv and not move until the movie was done. I would love to be scared but since i am not i can scare the people watching with me lol

That's creapy, were you medicated as a child? I've never met anyone who just stared at the TV like that, you know, unless there was something seriously wrong. When I was a baby movies scared the hell out of me, they didn't really even have to be all that scary.

The Shining scared the shit out of me when I was little. It was those goddamn twins! I have to connect with the poster who said the extended Exorcist is creepy, but that's my favorite horror film of all time. There have been films that have disturbed me because of violence (not the cool kind of violence that we're used to, but something on a scale that could say, happen to you, any of you).

I mostly like films about ghosts and haunted places.
