scariest movie EVER vote

[Thomasgeorge]

what do you think is the scariest movie ever i think exocist

[Yellow Jacket]

I agree with you on this one. Exorcist gets my vote! Though, this should be in the modern horror movies section.

[pinkfloyd45769]

When i was little i would have said Nightmare on Elm Street, Freddy scared the shit out opf me! I think out of the one's on the list Exorcist would be it!

[RavageRitual]

Ive never seen a movie that has really actually scared me, except for the first horror movie I ever watched ( when i was about 4-5 yrs old ) which was Candyman: Day of the Dead. this movie scared me so much i couldnt sleep for weeks. Now that im almost 17, I watched it last week. It doesnt scare me at all. But out of the ones on the list, Id say either "The Exorcist" or "Nightmare on Elm St" both are pretty freaky for anyone viewing a horror movie for the first time.

[IDrinkYourBlood]

my vote goes to Halloween.

[VampiricClown]

Off the list, Elm St., not on the list, Dead Birds. Elm St. gets my vote.

salem's lot maybe.......


....but blacula :eek:

[filmmaker2]

Hey, uh....you know, I may be opening myself up to ridicule here.....but for a movie with a silly title, BLACULA, I think, actually has some fairly intense moments. I kinda like it!

Especially that scene when they dig up that interior decorator to check and see if he's been turned into a vampire, and (surprise!) HE HAS! YAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!! That scene scared the crap outta me when I was a kid!!!

[alkytrio666]

Exorcist...

[stubbornforgey]

I shit myself when that black lady comes screaming out from the morgue..!!
I fucking ran behind the couch ..!!n hid there. :rolleyes:

[scouse mac]

Voted for The Exocist but none of those films are particularly scary (at least not any more). The best film from that selection is definately Alien.

[Zero]

it is a true testament to the new "FRIENDLIER" HDC that no one has unleashed with a torrent of abuse for a) the redundancy of this poll; b) the selections; or c) the poor spelling.. . .



that and the fact that it doesn't have Texas Chainsaw - which is the scariest film of all time:D

[Doc Faustus]

On that list? I'd have to say Alien. It's the only film on that list I can't sleep through.

[Elvis_Christ]

What's August Underground all about?

[MisterSadistro]

No 'Jaws', 'Suspiria', 'Night of The Living Dead', 'The Haunting' or a huge list of other movies more deserving but 'Jeepers Creepers' somehow makes the list ? What planet is this poll from ? I refuse to vote on principle (plus it's redundant).

[Elvis_Christ]

Haha I'm suprised I didn't get flamed for saying the exsocist was a movie that scared me.
....and the fuckin' Lepracaun? Maybe that cheesey girl who went out with that macho guy's nose was kinda trippy. Part 3 of the series tho is a total masterpiece (I shit you not).

But when have any of these lists got it right. So many great films are dead and buried and forgotten about.

I bet there's no one on this board that digs God's Lonley Man. There's a world full of people that passed it off as a Taxi Driver rip off :rolleyes: - maybe they should've looked at the production company's name and forgot about that. But whatever....

[MisterSadistro]

Never saw it. When 'Scream' and 'Puppetmaster' are considered in a 'scariest film ever' poll, there's obviously a very limited horror section at somebody's local video store LOL
CK

[Elvis_Christ]

I recommend it man.
But yeh my collections bigger from what the video stores have disposed off.... but yeh it makes me puke cause it throws the genre into not being taken seriously. Horror sections without Frank Henenlotter, H.G Lewis, Billy Lustig films and offbeat nasties ain't much of a reference point.

[MisterSadistro]

True. I ranted on Fangoria early tonight about how much T&A inclusion in horror movies is "necessary". Annoys the hell out of me that it should even be considered an issue. Too many guys play up to the stereotype that gives the whole genre a bad name to begin with and then have the nerve to complain that their films are overlooked or not taken seriously. Duh !
CK

[Haunted]

The Exorcist... in this list.

[Elvis_Christ]

All those terrible "How to join the FBI" serial killer films ruined that aspect of horror films. I'm waiting for the genre to shake that shit off. T&A/Blood and Guts and gratuitousness are essential to a good horror film. The asthetics of how that is handled determines on the reception of the film. Either way its gonna be underground but a intense well done film is gonna be the dark horse in a lot of motherfukers collections that will get watched and never forgotten about.....

[MisterSadistro]

T&A/Blood and Guts and gratuitousness are essential to a good horror film.
None of that in 'The Haunting' and I'd say that's definitely one of the horror greats. Too many "directors" talk about how they're influenced by the masters (ie Romero, Carpenter, etc), but there isn't the slightest inkling they know why these guys are considered masters. No amount of blood and boobs can cover up the fact that their movies aren't scary. I hope I've got a clue at least how to do it with this new one of mine. No nudity and blood amount is minimal (except for one scene yet to be shot), but I think it will work.
Of course next one is more of a gorefest for the model starring in this one LOL I promised her we would since it was her request :D

[Elvis_Christ]

I'd consider Carpenter a master for the characters he writes. Modern day Lee Marvins.
But yeh a lot of films don't need to rely on splatter to scare (trip the audience out). I just dig it and write it into my scripts to give the feeling of being a witness to the crime in all its depravity. Kinda a fuck he just did that and ain't been stopped he's coming for me deal. But I don't really write stuff like The Haunted and my new script is more in the vein of 70s shit like "Deranged" and "Crazed" (not sure when that came out but mehh) TCM2, Bad Boy Bubby and Romper Stomper smashed together.

But yeh there's a few good reasons why they ain't been filmed :D
NZ ain't to receptive to films like that
