whats the best horror movie ever

[halloweenfreak1]

any takes? (im bored as hell, so i just want to get somthing going)

[alkytrio666]

The Evil Dead (1982)




However, the majority of us compiled say Dawn of the Dead (1978), and I have no complaints about that choice, either.
Check out the HDC top 100 list in 'General'.

Ahh, there's a good boy.



I looove BOF.

[CrimsonFiend138]

lol, Yeah bride is a fantastic movie. Do you like the orginal or Bride better, Me I liked Bride slightly better.

[CrimsonFiend138]

I just wanted to add that I forgot about Nosferatu, Which IMO is the Best vampire EVER, Thank you.

Definately liked 'Bride' better, but Frankenstein is fantastic.

And I, too, think Nosferatu is the best vampire movie ever made.


You and I will get along just fine.

[The_Return]

Dracula, 1931

Not only did it basically give birth to American horror, it revamped (bad pun, Im sorry) society's idea of vampires for all-time.

Haha Indeed :)


Is this just for the best HORROR, or is Sci-fi, included?

[crabapple]

You know, it's kind of funny. I couldn't pick a single film and say "That's my favorite," because there are so many good films, and they're all different.

I imagine "Bride of Frankenstein" and "Phantasm" would be in there somewhere. Along with a bunch of others. It's good to see a movie like "Bride" get a lot of support from folks, too. Warms the heart.

[Angelakillsluts]

Snakes on a plane. :p

The Shining

[Dante'sInferno]

My favorite is either A Nightmare On Elm Street or Evil Dead.I have not seen Dawn of the Dead yet.

Haha. It's cool, I haven't seen Suspiria yet. (I know, I know. It's next on my Netflix que).

But seriously, Dante, you should check it out. And it's definately worth a blind-buy, if that's the only way to get it. I suggest the 'Ultimate Edition', which is under $30 now at Amazon.com

bingo.

[crabapple]

If I had a criterion, it would be the overall creativity of the piece. How much it stretches the genre and introduces an element of fun. Dawn of the Dead does that well. So does Horror Express...seems like not a lot of people have seen this one, and it's got its flaws, but has a great sense of fun for a horror film.

[CrimsonFiend138]

Does Horror Express have Christopher Lee in it?

[punk666]

would be salem's lot for me :D

biggest flaw is all of the shitty public domain releases it gets.
be nice if - since this is so highly reguarded - that someone would do it justice with a proper cleaned up release.

[CrimsonFiend138]

YEAH I actually have Horror Express and I've seen once when I was stoned.

I havent watched it again though :(

[Roderick Usher]

Night of the Living Dead

Bleak beyond bleak, loaded with social commentary, beautifully shot, truly scary, invented the modern zombie genre and a true work of art to boot - screened several times at MoMA.

"They're coming for you Barabara...Look, there's one of them now!"

Agreed, this is the first movie that scared me. It's crazy because the first time I seen it was on Easter at my aunt's house. I didn't get to see the ending because it was time for dinner, I was pissed so I asked for it the following Christmas. That was one of the best gifts ever!

[crabapple]

There is a Euroshock edition of Horror Express that is widescreen with isolated musical track as an audio option. I think it looks pretty good...

As far as NOTLD, it's nice to see that so many people have warm fuzzy feelings for the greatest of the ghoul movies, and it is nice to know that people can enjoy their Zombies on Easter. I personally think a nice zombie movie can make a holiday.

[Lala_Sound]

The original Omen :]

[paws the great]

The original slasher flick.

Friday the 13th

[Suspiria 666]

I can feel the Halloween seasopn rolling up on us and I'm getting all giddy. I usually watch AWiL 3-4 times in the month of October - LOVE it!

[CrimsonFiend138]

There may have Been slaher flicks but Halloween is still the Omega, even if you would say Halloween isn't the original slasher, it is still more original then Friday....well not the first friday that was a DAMN GOOD MOVIE(although I love the series)

Myers si still the coolest slasher though :).

It's been way too long since I watched that one...

I think you may have chosen my viewing material for tomorrow evening:p

[Lottie]

I would have to say Poltergeist and the Exorcist. I have nightmares for days when i watch these movies.

That's an excellent list. You have a very respectable and varied taste in horror, my friend.

[_____V_____]

Se7en.

I know its not horror as in the exact meaning of the word, but, read my blurb in "HDC top 100" thread if you wanna know why.

[The Demeter]

Thank you very much alkytrio666 and Crimsonfiend. I was begining to wonder if anyone on this forum had seen Nosferatu.

[The Flayed One]

Chek the HDC Top 100. I think you'll find we have a great amount of respect & affection for it around here:cool:

[urgeok]

i'd have to say : The origional Omen.

not my favorite horror film (one of them)
but to me it's a classic horror film,
perfect in it's execution in every way - and it
set the bar for me personally ...

- classic good against evil story
- excellent mature actors
- old school sensational kills
- part road film/fish out of water/buddy film/mystery movie

(i liked the unlikely partnership between prim and proper gregory peck and the disheveled david warner)

all the elements i love in film rolled into one ...

I remember seing Nosferatu when I was just a kid, and I was totally freaked out. Max Schreck (is this the correct spelling??) still looks creepy event by today's standards!

all the elements i love in film rolled into one ... One o fmy favorites. Even more enjoyable after listening to the commentary. Richard Donner is a riot, and it is clear that they really enjoyed making it. PLus, it wasnt the only antichrist to come oout in 1976. (hey, i just turned 30....)

Indeed, Growing up I was always used to seeing the suave Lugosi-esque vampire, so when I did see a Bald vampire with huge teeth I'm like.....Fuck that Nosferatu IS SWEEEET

All time fave

Nosferatu is my favorite vampir film of all time.

Chilling to the bone.

Absolutely agreed. No suave, no charm, just straight up evil & terrifying.

"I need more makeup..."

[The Demeter]

Nosferatu is definitely my number one horror film. ( Notice my screen name.) Its great to hear from others who still enjoy it. Max Schreck is the greatest vampire. His performance at the end is so touching.

[CrimsonFiend138]

Did any of you guys liked salem's lot? I thought it was pretty good. (Since it was inspired by Nosferatu)

Side Note: If you have seen Salem's lot and know anything about cars, could someone PLEASE tell me what kind of car Mr Strayker was driving, I've always wanted a car like that.

I'm sorry to get off subject.
