Gryph Posted April 3, 2004 Posted April 3, 2004 the exorist (either version)I think I'm one of the only people that didn't find the Exorcist scary. I was laughing through out the whole movie...but that's just me.
Shibathedog Posted April 3, 2004 Author Posted April 3, 2004 (edited) i was the same way hehe that head turning thing almost made me crap my pants in laughter Edited April 3, 2004 by Shibathedog
Gryph Posted April 3, 2004 Posted April 3, 2004 To me the funniest scene was the cross in her...thing scene. I was rolling on the ground with laughter.
Shibathedog Posted April 3, 2004 Author Posted April 3, 2004 oh yeah i remember that, haha, i have to go rent that movie now
Captain FuKu Posted April 4, 2004 Posted April 4, 2004 (edited) For some reason American "horror" movies seem more comedic (is that a word?) and action oriented -- especially the more recent ones. They're never scary. The closest horror movie that made me feel slightly uneasy was probably The Ring -- and I also found the original version to be better. 28 Days Later: I had high hopes for this film based on the reviews on the net. It was average at best. That one scene in the beginning where the main character after waking up from the hospital to find the entire city deserted, roams around the streets, looking around (probably thinking where the f@#k is everyone?), picks up a newspaper and glances at the headline for a second or so......and just drops the paper and starts walking away with that same puzzled look. WTF?! Now what's wrong with this picture? Anyhow, yeah, The Ring is decent -- original version recommended. Also, the japanese director of Ichi the Killer has also made a bunch of other horror films from what I've read. I'm still trying to find those. Edited April 4, 2004 by Captain FuKu
AntiWinner22 Posted April 4, 2004 Posted April 4, 2004 Well, not really scary, but truly disturbing: Nightmare on Elm Street. I don't know which one it is, but there is one where this chick eats a baby. A CHICK EATS A BABY!!! Truly demented. And Awesome. Anon.
Wizard Posted April 4, 2004 Posted April 4, 2004 Yes, comedic is a word John Carpenter's The Thing is possibly the greatest Horror movie I've ever seen. I suggest you read "Who Goes There?" The original short story that inspired the movie. I wish Carpenter would make a sequal, but I guess the game would act like that The Ring(u) - The original japanese novel is just as scary. The movies are just as good as the book. Sam Ramani's Within The Woods/Evil Dead Trilogy - American B-rated horror films at its best! Knowing that the Within the Woods and Evil Dead 1 were made with almost no buget. Greatest example of an indy director going pro (same guy made Spiderman the movie!)
OverlordMondo Posted April 4, 2004 Posted April 4, 2004 Dude, there's no contest at all.It's obviously... "KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE" No joke, best horror movie ever.
OverlordMondo Posted April 4, 2004 Posted April 4, 2004 Also, could anyone help me find some of the themes from that?They sound awesome, but I haven't found them yet...
StriderSkorpion Posted April 4, 2004 Posted April 4, 2004 (edited) Killer Klowns from Outer Space scared me as a kid, but when I think about it now, it's funny. I liked 28 Days Later, especially how it was filmed. I'm not sure exactly what it was about the filming, I just know I liked its effect. I thought the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake was good. I was disappointed with a House of a 1000 Corpses, though, which seems to take a lot from different horror movies. I thought Rob Zombie was going to make a good movie, but it turned out crap IMO.

Gryph Posted April 4, 2004 Posted April 4, 2004 Well this isn't the scariest movie, but one part was probably the scariest moment for me when I was a kid. It was PeeWee's Big Adventure when Large Marge does that scary ass thing. That scared the crap out of me!
ForceX Posted April 4, 2004 Posted April 4, 2004 The Candy Man..I watched that when I was about 7 years old and for about 2 months I was too scared to look into a mirror....
Agozer Posted April 4, 2004 Posted April 4, 2004 (edited) I agree with ForceX...When I saw Candyman for the first time, it scared the hell out of me. The Thing also gets an honorary mention from me. How can we forget the scariest classic of them all, Night of the Living Dead. (the B&W film.) "They're coming for you, Barbara...." Edited April 4, 2004 by Agozer
ForceX Posted April 4, 2004 Posted April 4, 2004 (edited) How the #@%@ could I forget Night of the Living Dead....I watched this movie for the 3rd time last week Edited April 4, 2004 by ForceX
