Yeah sorry got sidetracked there with the Peter Jackson stuff which I had totally forgotten about...

One of the creepier zombie scenes in the opening of the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead. You have to log in to see it on Youtube, runs from about 3:30-8:00:

Don't remember it but we did used to watch Return of the Living Dead a lot as teenagers.

The completely gratuitous nudity probably helped, again more comedy horror but I read that it has become a classic.

Gory scary it's all good .... Anything to distract us from Alex jones lol

Scene that freaked me out when I was far to young to see it on a clunky old VHS coffin of a video was the eye scene in zombie flesh eaters when she she gets the wood spike in it .

I haven't seen a really good scary movie in a while. The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre scared the shit out of me. But I was like 13 when I first saw it.

I don't watch that many horror films but I would guess that at our age you just will never get that scary thrill you would get as a teenager, we're jaded.

Last horror film I saw was the The Woman in Black with the wee Harry Potter guy. It was fine but I wasn't really affected by it.

When children are dying on the news every night, a witch seems a bit trivial.

I also wonder if you need to be a bit religious for some of these films to freak you out. I saw the Exorcist really late, just a few years back but thought it was all a bit silly.

Last horror ish I really liked was cabin in the woods not really scary but very clever and had a shit load of cool monsters

Does a home movie of my wedding count?

My personal list is:


Jaws - still fucked up about going into any water.

Alien - for years I wouldn't eat white rice thinking an alien would then pop out of my stomach.

Blair Witch - I know, I know....but something about it actually made me scared when I watched it.

Poltergeist - nuff said

Amityville Horror - GET OUT!!



Now my rant about "scary" movies. They don't scare people....they startle people. Something jumping out at the screen suddenly is not scary, it's startling. Scary is when you are in fetal position in a dark hole in the middle of the night hoping the 3 guys looking to kill you don't find you and holding your breath so they don't hear you breath when they get close.

Are we talkin' 'bout SCARY films, or Horror films?

'Cause if it's scary, Hostel takes the friggin' cake, along with the Human Centipede, 'cuz that shit COULD happen to you, no matter how hilarious the films are, especially the sequels. Werewolf? Hahahahahaha!!! Psycho killer armed with a knife? Pfft. Even if he does take me down, he's not gonna get anyone else.

Crazed medics that drug you & experiment on you and/or a group of well organized deranged psychopaths? I'm shakin', I'm shakin'!

Horror movies? HAMMER!

Yeah. No contest, shut the fuck up. HAMMER, baby!

The Shining is NOT a horror/scary film. It IS a masterpiece of disturbance, though. Very atmospheric. Very, very atmospheric. In fact, Nicholson's Torrance is only a supporting character in that film, with atmosphere being the protagonist. I love the bar scene. Hell, all scenes.

And yes, I did rub one to to Olive Oyl. She's the most unattractive thing I've ever seen, in that film. Made me hard, for some reason.

Cheers! :bottle:

[Hardrock69]

YES!

HAMMER!

Fucking Christopher Lee! Peter Cushing! Woo!

[Dave's Bitch]

or even Cannibal Holocaust for that matter...

I kind of draw a line with that one.I like the idea of it,It pretty much invented the whole "found footage" thing in horror movies.I love the story about how the director was put on trial accused of murdering the actors so he had to bring them in to prove it is just a movie.But the thing that makes me feel uneasy is the animal cruelty.The footage with the animals is real (The director was charged with animal cruelty anyway) and that turns my stomach.The whole racist depiction of the tribe people and the film makers love of torturing women turn me off too.I think there are all of about 2 women in the film who don't get naked and/or raped.it is one level removed from a snuff film

I think honestly though it does what it is intended to do.It has every chance to just turn stupid but it doesn't. It is probably the most vile things i have seen,I don't think I will watch it again.This should be number 1 on the this

[ashstralia]

the extra backwards stairwalking scene was pretty cool.

the chestburst scene in 'alien', and the extremely claustrophobic scenario sticks with me.
in 1979, we could imagine that as a future/past career.

sesh, it's impossible to make a bad film of a stephen king story.

[Hardrock69]

I would say Alien was one of the most frightening films I have ever seen.

I just watched Prometheus night before last, and when I crashed that night, I had a lengthy nightmare with Aliens in it.

No Sigourney Weaver, dammit.
