Now ive seen many horror movies but only one movie used to scare the big jesus out of me. Nowadays it seems that to recreate the horror takes CGI and lots of gore, doesnt scare me as much just makes me cringe a bit, Saw 3 and 4 would fall into that category.

To me, the best horror movies had me bricking it and there is none today that can stand up and say "HA! SCARED YA !"

Scary movies have that element about them that just relies on good ole fashioned acting and the basics that scare people.

The one that I love the most is Halloween. Mike Myers and his mask and knife used to scare the :censored:

out of me. They even made a remake of it.

What scared you the most as a kid? Bearing in mind the best were made before the 90's !

The Thing is one of my favorite films of all time. Nothing modern today (save for 30 Days of Night) has the same sense of dread and style of this film. It's f*cking brilliant and a sequel - not a remake - should be done. To this day, it's the only film to give me crazy dreams that were actually scary involving those crazy tentacle things that flail everywhere when it's bursting out of the dog. Creepy.

Other class horror films were Day of the Dead and Dawn (the originals, not the bollox remakes that everyone seems to think are better). Yeah, that's right: they are remaking Day and it should be out soon. Google for the trailer. It looks f*cking awful. D*ckheads! Why can't they just do a remake of the original as it was? It would have been class. If they tossed Romero a mega budget, he'd make a zombie horror film that would be stunning.

The Exorcist was probably the most frighteningly evil film ever made. Most people laugh and think it was a joke. Well those people can f*ck off. That film was creepy as f*ck, especially when she turned her head all the way round with that horrid face and said something in that evil old English tone accent after stabbing herself with a cross. Freaked the f*ck out of me, that did.

Not classed as a horror movie but "alien" was f'ucking disturbing. I went to see it when it first came out , bought a ticket then took a stroll outside the cinema and smoked a big spliff, went back inside just as the movie started. Spent the next 2 hours on the edge of my seat with my heart going like the clappers and wishing the ordeal would end .

The scariest film of all time is not a horror film. I can guarantee that this film has had more of an affect on peoples lives than any horror film ever made. It has a soundtrack that still send shivers up people's spines when they hear it. It caused me many a sleepless night as a boy. The film? Jaws. Who can go into the sea and not think of Jaws? It still put me on edge, especially the music. Whenever I hear it I feel threatened.
Out of horror films though I'd go with the Fog. It absolutely terrified me the first time I saw it. And the most over-rated for being scary, Salems Lot and The Exorcist.

Ha Ha, my 100th post.
:cool:

Do I get a prize now?

I saw the Exorcist when it first came out over here and the hype was incredible. 3 people had to be escorted out of the Cinema because they "fainted"

When the film finished there was a crowd of people outside giving out support group leaflets and helpline telephone numbers.

Alien was a good shout by Woof.

The Omen was poor Dawson, I have been more frightened opening a packet of crisps. Halloween was great though.

Also 'IT' was pretty scary.

BOO !

Don't know whether you're aware but "The Thing" (with Kurt Russell - 1982) is a remake of "The Thing from Another World" (1951) which was the scariest film I've ever seen. Monochrome and a proper sense of being cut off in the Arctic... its a classic. Maybe its because I was a youngster when I saw it the first time and there wasn't much in the way of special effects back then but I was scared shitless. Get it on DVD and watch it... and then watch the Kurt Russell version. They are both equally brilliant horror films.

Apparently there's gonna be another remake!!! All they could do in a remake is show more blood and guts and CGI stuff.

Alien - now there's a classic and one of my favourite films of all time, but if you think about it it's basically a similar story to "The Thing". Humans in isolation being hunted by a scary alien monster that is significantly stronger than a human. Predator anyone? A similar idea, another of my faves but not scary.

1. Exorcist - any1 who has much as walked past a church should be scared of this movie
2. A Nightmare on Elm Street - before all the stupid sequels and 1 liners there was this, and it scared the :censored:

out of me when I was a kid
3. Ringu 1 and 2 - please get back in the tv, please

Honourable mentions go to Exorcist 3 (the most underrated horror movie ever, and a proper sequel to the original after the train wreck of Exorcist 2), Event Horizon, Jaws, Alien and Texas Chainsaw Massacre
