Favorite scary movies

This is the best time of year for horror movies. There are a million to choose from and 95% are garbage. Here are some obscure ones that I like

 

 

If you like horror mixed with humor, check out Tucker and Dale vs Evil.

Repulsion. The most psychologically tense movie I've ever seen.

Burnt Offerings. This is a sentimental pick for me. Its the first movie that scared the crap out of me when I was little. Bette Davis and Karen Black are scary no matter what theyre doing. And the image of the weird chauffer guy haunts me to this day.

And Then There Were None. This 1945 version of the Agatha Christie novel is the best. Really fun.

What are some of your favorites?

Great topic Cuga -

 

I did a thesis project on Hitchcock, so "Psycho" is just an amazing film from a director's standpoint, cinematography and plot. Edge of your seat (did you know the blood in the shower was really chocolate sauce?)

 

Honorable mention:

 

Exorcist

The Shining

Tucker and Dale is PHENOMENAL. They keep teasing with a sequel, but nothing has materialized yet.

 

We just watched "Saw" last night. That's a good one.

 

"Exorcist" is great.

 

"The Shining" is one of my all-time favorites.

 

The 2006 version of "Hills Have Eyes" is great, too.

The Exorcist 3, without a doubt, is the scariest movie I have ever seen.

It's nowhere near as good as the original, but it is a pretty good movie. It has one of the best quick scare shots of all time (in the hospital--I'm guessing you know the one I'm talking about).

I watched the Exorcist last night. It still delivers. So well done.

 

Want to be scared shitless? Turn off all the lights and listen to this through headphones. I bet you don't make it all the way through. :devil:

 

Halloween is my favorite time of year!

I remember reading The Exorcist when I was a freshman in college and wondering if it had been made

into a movie. Next year lo and behold it was a movie.

 

Absolute classic.

I remember getting goosebumps reading the book

Some of my favorites.

Salem's Lot

Exorcist

Halloween

Friday the 13th Parts 1 and 2

The Shining

 

It's funny, these movies scared the crap out of me when I was younger and watched them. But now as an adult? I have a hard time getting into the genre. I LOVE horror, but nothing is really scary anymore.

I feel the same way.

 

"Hush" made me uncomfortable a couple times.
