IMO It would be a tie between Halloween and The Exorcist.

Agreed. Although neither films are my personal favorites by any means, in terms of what they did for the genre and pure artistic expression, and the emotional responses evoked from audiences, you have to acknowledge both of these films. Completely agree.

I know most people here seem to hate Ebert for one reason or another, but I found his review of Halloween
http://homepage.tinet.ie/~jncollins/halloween.html
it's damn good. I pretty much agree with all of it

KRUGERKID13 04-18-2004 03:22 PM

I definetly would have to say my fav. is ginger snaps but there are to many great movies to just name 1

feral cat 04-18-2004 03:33 PM

Only TROLL 2 , can have the status of not only best horror, but the greatest movie ever!

what he hell is up with that picture man.

I liked valentine

Hollowman was pretty good

otis 04-20-2004 10:56 AM

I don't have a fav. I don't like vampire movies. I think vampires are kind of repetitive. I get sick of them. But i love zombies and movies about the darker side of the human mind and mankind. As in Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket, Clockwork Orange, .....

bone collector 04-21-2004 10:42 AM

do you like hellraiser otis?

bone collector 04-27-2004 11:14 AM

I liked the hellraiser series, I cant wait to see 7,8

Tumper 05-04-2004 01:48 PM

Dawn of the Dead (1978) - A true classic, and the daddy of 'what if it happened to you" movies.

The Whicker Man - Incredible inelligent horror

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - sherlock holmes crossed with gothic horror., and the darkest of humour.

Anything that twists my head and stomach at the same time.

Vampenguin 05-07-2004 11:29 AM

Not bad choices

Best Horror FIlm Ever
 
I'm not sure about this, since I like a movie by its own merits. BUt, if we have to mention genre movies these would most likely be my choices:

Inferno (Dario Argento)
Tenebre
Audition
Ichi the Killer
Irreversible
Se7en
Evil Dead 2


I guess, I don't remember the others. Because, there are a lot of them. :p

I agree.

It's between Dawn of the Dead and Evil Dead II. Seven is a fuckin' awesome movie too, but for some reason I don't think of it as a horror.

bone collector 05-09-2004 11:57 AM

Van Helsing was a fucking awesome movie, i saw it yesterday

Sistinas 05-09-2004 12:22 PM

I think the scariest one is when that woman waswalking through the house andthere was a killer in there and she was all alone cause everyoneelse was killed, and when she went out side and even though she was running real fast for like 30 mins an the killer was only walking he still pops up in front of her and i yell cause im scared, cause iwasnt expecting it. and she likes stabs him in the heart with a knife andshe sits there and crys then walks over to him. and he grabs her. and i scream cause i was suprised cause ive never seen any thing likethat happen in a horror movie n then she runs n he catches up n she stabs him n she cries n walks over to him n he grabsher again n i shit me self cause i thought the ywouldnever do they same thing twice ina horror movie so she runs again n the killer chases her n she put fuel in a shed n blows him up. n then the cops come n take the killer to the morgue n when he is alone with the doctor the killer kills the doc... man im still shakin

13 ghosts

MrBobo 05-18-2004 11:19 AM

A hard question...Evil Dead is right up there (except for that daft bit when the book is freaking out). The Excorcist (not over-rated at all). Dog Soldiers (not that creepy but a great film nontheless). Demons 2, Day of the Dead, Wolf (nah, just kidding, what a piece of crap that was.). Re-animator, The Kindred, The Thing (now that was a great movie) I'm sorry I could go on and on. Ah one more From Beyond. There's more great ones but I can't decide which I like best.

bone collector 05-25-2004 07:54 PM

Bobo, you should watch, rampage, that was a fucked up movie
