View Full Version : Favorite horror movie of ALL time
What is your number one choice as your absolute favorite horror movie (Classic and Modern)? Why?
Mine is, without Question, "The Exorcist"
I saw the original release in the theater as a kid. At the time, it had the best special effects of any movie, It scared the shit out of anyone that saw it! People ran out of the theater puking and screaming. I realize that by todays standards and level of desensitization, it may not be considered scary now, but in the '70's it was. It is still considered by most to the the scariest movie of all time (I think parially due to the fact that it was based on a true story). Since it's initial release, I have seen it hundreds of times. I have the original release, the 25th anniverery release as well as the release of "The version you've never seen", I've read the book several times and at one time, even had a web site devoted to nothing but "The Exorcist."

I haven't seen the Exorcist in a long time. I'll pick it up soon and really check it out.
So my answer for now will have to be The Shining or Halloween

and it was more linear and sensible than any italian zombie film.
lets face it .. with the italian films we make allowances .. they are crazy .. but thats part of the appeal.
Dawn of the Dead is a great film all around .. it didnt have to get surreal and symbolic and nonsensical to build a great horror atmosphere.
I love the movie myself .. top 4 or 5 .. but oddly - with each repeated viewing, Day is starting to edge out Dawn for me personally..

Ditto. I think Dawn is a little too light hearted for me now with my ever growing hatred for just about everything. Day is darker.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original) or The Ring (Japanese Version). I love those movies although I haven't seen the Ring in a long time, I saw it when I was really young and it did scare the shit out of me! I saw TCM quite recently and I just loved it, classic! I haven't seen the new version of it yet.

you do realize that by making this statement you're also saying that resurrection was better than season of the witch.

I used to hate H3, but I kinda liked it as a horror movie. I love anything with myers, but yeah ressurection was pretty gay. Hence like i spoke of on the Creepshow 3 forum....it was a product of new horror movie.
No I love TCM Its a great movie, One of my faves. Its just the fact you guys Speak like its the greatest Horror movie ever....same as Excorcist and theres no way that it was even scary. BLAH

I actually really love FT13th 4. I think it's a really good movie. But I would take part 2 over 3.
The Shining and Halloween are my two favorites overall, though.

Resurrection may have sucked by it was WAY better than Season of the Witch! That movie sucked! It really bugs me when movie sequels don't have follow-ups, but not even having the same theme?! Not even having the basic idea?! Having masks that causes deformities what the hell?! That has to be the worse idea of a horror movie EVER! It didn't even have Michael Myers in it!!!!!!!!!!!! The movie was called HALLOWEEN 3!

01-15-2005, 10:46 AM
I don't think anything with Myers sucks, to me it is just the least best of them.
To Massacre Man: No I don't think I have seen that one.

You mean less worse ? they both suck.... :)
..but i like all the others except nr 5.....i know many people hate nr 6..but i dont..its dumb and poor acting ...but i guess Myers is cool enough in that pictures.....I didnt like the feel on Myers in nr 7 but the movie had a higher budget and that saved it......

Yeah they both did suck but I still like them just cuz of Myers.
Alot of people hate 5 AND 6 but i liked both and i really enjoyed 5.
I didn't like 7 but that is actually when I started gettin into Myers when I was about 11 so.
AND Myers was in 3.......They were doing a commercial for Halloween the movie in the bar scene.
