Title: what is the best horror movie?
Post by: tom joad on October 06, 2006, 01:46:35 PM
i'm dating a 28 year old chinese girl who says that she loves "scary" movies.  she's only been in north america for 4 years and so she hasn't actually seen too many horror flicks.  any suggestions of all-time great horror movies that might scare the living daylights out of her?

Friday the 13th

By today's standards it is not at all scary, but as art, it is by far the best: Psycho.

The new version of Texas Chainsaw Massacre from a few years ago was disturbing. After seeing that you can skip the foreplay.  ;)

I agree show her some old horror movies. Or the house of 1000 corpses is good too. some old halloween movies or Friday The 13th Hellraiser is good or Puppet Master

Last house on the left or I spit on your grave. But since she is Asian try the Grudge. It's not only set in Japan(I think), but its a remake of an asian film. Although it's not that good really.

The Original Omen I heard is the scariest/best. Never seen it for myself though.

Evil Dead 1 and 2 as mentioned.

"Zombie" by Lucio Fulci

"Seven" was freaky, although not strictly a horror movie

"Wrong Turn" was excellent

House of 1000 corpses was good too

Classics: frankenstein

Son of Frankenstein

Dracula

Frankenstein meets the wolfman

there are so many good ones

(major horror fan here)

henry: portrait of a serial killer was a great movie, but i don't know if it's part of the horror genre. more like docudrama.

  Um....docuhorror, perhaps?  :D I just met the main star of the movie, Mike Rooker, at a film convention this past June. Nice guy.

The Others was a good classic ghost story too.

Never seen the exorsist........no reason other than just never been around to see it, and never thought of renting it.  I've seen exorsist 2, (shitty movie) and seen nearly every other horror movie ever made but i've never seen exorsist.

The Exorcist is very upsetting to some; others including those who aren't Christian don't have the same reaction.

A growing body count, people missing limbs, post traumatic stress, and families forever shattered?  No doubt about it: America’s misadventure in Iraq.  Horror beyond anything you've ever seen.

Exorcist is pretty scary.  I watched Friday the 13th (original) when I was 11...had to go sleep in my parents' room. 

What was that one that had the little silver ball that spun around and had the evil guy in it?  (not much info, but maybe one remembers)

Did anyone here ever watch the Saturday afternoon horror flicks hosted by "Elvira?"
