Favorite type of horror?
 

I'm working on a paper for a film class, and I was wondering, what's everyone's favorite type of horror? What movies really makes you jump or scream of have those nightmares? For me, it's ghosts, they're the one type of movie that really make me loose some sleep. But what about you guys?

Atmospheric, babe. Atmospheric.

Yeah, but I mean like, horror movie villan type thing, like ghosts, vampires, werewolves, slashers...that sort of thing...

i like all kinds of horror. the one's that actually scare me are the one's that involve realistic threats, like nuclear wars and mother nature.

I like ghosts, but I'm starting to think I like vampires just as much, if not more. There are so many vampire variants! They are unreal and yet animalistic; they range from subtle to totally demonic; they are capable of being cheesy and frightening at the same time. Vampires is the way to go!

My total favorite vampire movie right now is Count Yorga: Vampire. Was always fun but seems to have gotten better over the years.

Difficult to say really. I am a fan of monster films and ghost films but they dont really scare me. Films that show just how evil humans can be scare me. Also I would agree with Bloody ribcut and say films with realistic threats.

I'm with Ribcut on this - nuclear war, natural disasters - but many of these movies do not fit in comfortably in the horror genre. That being said, Romero's zombie films have it all: end of the world as we know it, zombies running or shuffling around, the struggle for survival and so on. Yep - zombies.

A good ghost story or a nice creature feature...with old school effects...not too much CGI, unless its done really well.

I like movies that scare the shits out of me
but ..i usually watch them hiding behind big ppl or hidden under my blankie:o

As soon as the music goes .'DUH DARRRRRRRRM'
em gone !!!!

Supernatural horror has always been my personal favorite. Vampires, Ghosts and Witches are what I like best
