Favourite and scariest horror movies?

[shockNwave]

Something that should be mentioned in all of this is the factor of atmosphere as an important part in how scary such movies can be.
For example is how I found Aliens, Lord Of Illusions (a Clive Barker movie) and The Grudge (American version) scary and unsettling due to watching them at the cinemas.
The three factors that help the fear factor are the following:
1. That it's dark.
2. The surround sound.
3. Teenage girls screaming during the shock moments.
If there's anything more, feel free to add it.

You've just summed up One Direction.

Phantasm has always been held high in my books. While not particularly scary by today's standards, it is a great film, along with it's sequels. There is another one coming next year that I can't wait for. Luckily the whole cast is still alive near 40 years on to do the new one heh.

House of 1000 Corpses is a favourite too.

Also while not scary, Zombie Strippers.

And Dog Soldiers has to be one of the best werewolf movies in a long time.

Mutant Chronicles and Prince Of Darkness are both pretty good too.


Anyone ever watched Masters Of Horror mini series? There are some great stories in that. Well worth hunting down. Basically a collection of the great horror movie writers and directors do an episode each.

Zombie Strippers! Wasn't the guy who played Freddie Kruger in that movie. Not horror, just horrid.

I first played Resident Evil at my cousin's place at 1am. Scared the bejeebus out of me!
