whats the best horror movie ever
 

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

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'.

i like the modern day movies like halloween and friday the 13th(even though most of the sequels were horrible)

Spoorloos aka the vanishing, not the one with kiefer sutherland

i personally like some of the newer one if you would call them new


house of 1000 corpses
house of the dead

Check my top 10 in my signature. :D

An American Werewolf in Par.......ha ha gotcha London of course!:p

^ AAWIL is certainly on my list.

house of the dead? to each there own............i would have to say from hell it came..........no j/k...........the howling.

Evil dead

The Shining

High tension (not classic but i love it)

Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein

Dawn of the Dead

Halloween, Halloween II


^^ In order of the year not in order of My favorite but theres mine.

Ahh, there's a good boy.



I looove BOF.

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

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.

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?

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.

Snakes on a plane. :p

The Shining

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

Wha?! WHYYY?!?!?!?!

No one has it.:mad:

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.

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.

Does Horror Express have Christopher Lee in it?

would be salem's lot for me :D

yeah.

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.

Thank you man!I'm all about getting the ultamite edition's of everything.:D

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

I havent watched it again though :(

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!

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.
