Favourite and scariest horror movies?

[BruiseLee]

I would say Event Horizon as well. It's scary enough as it is but even worse if you went to the movies not expecting to see a horror flick. I think if you're prepared to watch a horror flick you start in a certain frame of mind so your mind it's kinda ready to take in the scares. I thought it was a sci-fi flick... Started off nice and cruisey and then...well those who have seen it know what I'm taking about.

For pure shock the worst I watched was Cannibal Holocaust, there is a reason it was banned for so long.
The scariest to me is still The Exorcist.

I am a massive horror fan though and love my classic slashers like Jason, Freddy, Michael, Pinhead etc.

I may have to finally sit down and watch Event Horizon after reading this thread though

I have figures of all these guys in storage, ever since the kids came along. One day, they'll see the light of day again. 80's horror was the best Couldn't live without my monthly subscription to Fangoria.

Same. I had never heard of it and was told it was a movie about a lost spaceship. I had no idea it as a horror movie.

I watched it again a few years ago and it didn't have nearly the effect on me. I guess you need the atmosphere.
