Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer

"The Sixth Sense" (#3 above having been taken)

"Nanc's Home Movies"

The Saw series is nice.

The Saw series is nice.

Are you bloody SERIOUS?

I've watched two of them and the only thing I can think of is the old Batman TV series with Adam West where every other week they'd put Batman and Robin into some absurd and ill-conceived trap to kill them.

Christ's Nipples of Power; when I saw the first one, I thought "Jigsaw" was the bloody Penguin!

"truthhurt's 401k"

W

"An Inconvenient Truth"

"The Empty Suit who destroyed the World"

Great list. "Poltergeist" scared the crap out of me when it came out.

Grease II

mine would be also if we weren't so average and normal...which IS scary to some.

Rosemary's Baby

They forgot Friday The 13th. The original was great.

Halloween films?? What the fuck does Aliens have to do with Halloween?

How about Hatchet?

You people haven't got a clue.

Zeppelin vs. Pterodactyls! is the best Hollywood has ever done! I pissed all over myself!

The Shining has to be the most overrated movie ever. So slow, so void of any ANYTHING. A total snore.

I'd stay away from Barry Lyndon, if I were you.
Stick to Alien v. Predator

"Great list. "Poltergeist" scared the crap out of me when it came out."

Me too. Somehow I was allowed to go see this movie with a bunch of older kids when it first came out. I still hate that fucking toy clown.

Not unlike everything else on this site, someone else doesn't like it so I'm not allowed to either. . .

The Saw movies are a plate fulla DUMB with an extra helping of cheeZe.

They are basically just an update on the old Friday the 13th theme of "Wot kinda new kewl way to kill someone can we come up with?"

Essentially taking the fascination kids have with torture and then tossing in a couple of tit shots.

The Saw movies are basically just Ft13th w/o the tit shots.

Be Well.

Rosemary's Baby has to be in my top three. I thought the best line in that movie was when the old lady is running down the hall (I think after the baby is born) and says, "Now that's what I call Good News."

Have to say that I loved The Amityville Horror. First saw it on network tv and it still scared the hell out of me. Maybe it was because I grew up three miles from the actual house. Spent my first night on REDACTED parked outside. Looks very different now, but still creepy.

HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN - 1944 - TRAILER

Lon Cheney and Boris Karloff

Horror Hotel (cheap, but nice and creepy)
The Haunting (the original)
Night Of The Living Dead (obviously)
28 Days Later
Suspiria
Tenabrae
Apocalypse Now (More horror film than war film to me)
The Thing (John Carpenter's version)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original)
Jacobs Ladder (so creepy)
Pulse (the Japanese version)
Gu-Jon (out right spooky weirdness)
Bram Stoker's Dracula (fun and pays homage to Hammer as well as Italian horror flicks)

KUDOS ON THE LIST.

One could argue Evil Dead II, Burnt Offerings and Stephen Kings IT... but still a solid list.

An American Werewolf in London

That wasn't an incredibly scary film, though the nurse in the shower scene....

Any movie with a black president...

Have to say that I loved The Amityville Horror

Yes, was a good one!

But have you ever dared watch...

** suspenseful chord **

Spud prefer "Bedknobs and Broomsticks," "Casper," and "Pooh's Heffalump Halloween" fer the plain fact that these movies attract the young'uns to Spud's tater hut.

Strewth!

Be Well.

Damn internet Blacklist!

Check it at home... thanks.

"The Sixth Sense" was a much better sequel than the original "The Fifth Sense".

I mean, what so special about a kid who smells dead people?

The Saw movies are basically just Ft13th w/o the tit shots.

Be Well.

Never seen em, eh?

The Saw movies were crap until the third that suddenly justified the first two. I have not seen 4 or five, so I cannot say how the series has progressed, but it is worth a watch at least once.

The Descent
The Grudge (Japanese or American version)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (original 1956 version)

I thought 3 was the best of the series, didn't like 5 so much at all, and I'm fairly certain there will be a 6, but how can anyone who watched them think they are even remotely similar to the Friday the 13th series?

Both of the Hostel movies were new kinds of horror movies as well. Definately worth a look.

Hostel (to me) sucked! I don't want torture without suspense at least. There was very little to any actual story to Hostel. I would have loved to have learned more about the organization's inner workings, funding, advertising, and general acceptance. Now THAT would be a horror story.

Holy shit that is funny! I hope he gets arrested this weekend.

You get all that in part II, check it out.

FF.

Spud's got a t-shirt wot he luffs that sez...

"I see DUMB people"

Never seen em, eh?

~Noluv4u

Just the first three. They are heavy on the ultra violence and light on the horny teenage dumbness that made the Ft13 flicks at least marginally watchable.

Wot, no luff fer "The Hills have Eyes"?

Jupiter rawked!

Spud's top ten?

1 Evil Dead II. /everybody dies
2 Exorcist. /no comedy relief
3 Night of the Living Dead. /everybody dies again
4 Texas Chainsaw Massacre. /Based on a true story
5 The Hills have Eyes. /Cheapo Carpenter Classic
6 The Sentinel. /Wicked imagery
7 The Shining. /The twins
8 Seven /Great performances by Pitt/Spacey
9 Nightmare on Elm Street. /So imaginative
10 The Thing (JC's version) /Amazing pace

Honorable mention to Hitchcock's "The Birds" which scared the crap outta Spud way back in the long ago.

Also, the first ten minutes of Blade II

Motel Hell, which was as funny as it was scary

Be Well.

Scariest movie I ever saw was a real stinker called "Face Off" with Travolta and Cage.

It wasn't even a horror film, but it was so bad it scared me shitless.

1. Nosferatu
2. Evil Dead
3. Night of the Living Dead
4. The Sentinel (original; Dick Miller f/x)
5. Dead Birds
6. Shaun of the Dead
7. Exorcist
8. Ghost Story
9. The Fog (Carpenter)
10. Virtually anything Hammer

Notice there aren't any King films? None of his books has ever been translated to screen effectively for fright-value. The Shining really was more Kubrick, though the woman-in-the-tub was the stuff of many years of nightmares. If Christine is ever re-made in accordance with the novel (which I love among all King's works), it will be fantastic. It could have been much better obviously.

Spud, THHE was Wes Craven.

Also, Farmer Vincent rules.

I saw Hostel 2, but there was very little of that aspect and quite a lot of pointless torture (the Bathroy scene). I mean a real honest to G-d thriller movie about the organization, how it secures itself within a country, how it advertises exactly, how long has it been around, etc. Roth had too much fun filming buzzsaws in heads and dogs eating peckers to bother with character details.

Kanrei... welcome back...? I suppose, unless I've not been paying much attention.

Hostel et al are more akin to "snuff" films than actual horror movies. No suspense, just gore, which is fine, but they lack something critical.

Thanks! Just got back yesterday!

I am trying really hard to think of a really scary horror movie, but I am coming up with blanks. There are plenty of great moments and tons of concepts that scared me, but actual movies...not really.

Funny Games got me because of the fact that the two killers were working their way around the lake and we knew they had done what they did many times before and were going to keep doing it over and over scared me more than the film and were doing it just because the audience was there to see it.

Strangers had a great concept (Because you were home), but failed in practice.

High Tension did alright with the gore and suspense, but blew it with a pointless twist ending.

Yup...horror is dead.

OK, I've nothing to add to this list so here's my Halloween joke:

What do hillbillies do for Halloween?

Pump Kin!

Nosferatu (the silent version) - creepy as hell, mostly because the guy that played Nosferatu actually looked that way. The film makers found him in a "side-show".

Creepshow (The thing under the stairs)

Pet Cemetery

Alien - only the first one - (and yes it was a horror/thriller movie set to a sci-fi backdrop so it counts).

4 Texas Chainsaw Massacre. /Based on a true story

#48 | Posted by dethspud at

BOO!!! It was a good movie, but the connection between the movie and the story it was based on is.... well, it's not even close to what actually happened. They didn't even get the state right, Ed Gein lived in Wisconsin.

Angel Heart.

Did nobody else get freaked out by Blair Witch?

No, I did too. I just stopped admitting to it because it always leads to "that movie sucked; nothing happened!"

Blair Witch.

Yes, scary.
The ending was a chiller.

The Blair Witch Project. . .

I went into it thinking it was the actual footage from some kids who disappeared, sort of felt cheated when I found out it wasn't.

I think its a tossup between the recently released
W and the soon to be released Caribou Barbie: The Sarah Palin Story. Either film will have you fleeing the voting booth screaming.

The original Exorcist had subliminal cuts that caused audience members to pass out from fright. With the sublimation this film was terrifying. When they were removed when it hit local theatres the film lost its mojo.

all the talk of Stephen King movies and no one thought of Children of the Corn. That was one creapy movie.

"Kal-Tiki"

If anyone else has seen this film, I'd like to know.

"Vampire Planet"

Ditto.

BY FAR! "House of 1000 corpses". Gotta watch this one! It is great!

"The Devil's rejects" is good too!

I worked in a theater when The Exorcist premiered. We did, in fact, have to keep smelling salts on hand for the first few weeks. A hoot.

Seed of Chucky.

On a more serious note, the "Uma being buried alive" sequence in Kill Bill 2 still makes me squirm.

That wasn't an incredibly scary film, though the nurse in the shower scene...An American Werewolf in London....mmmmmm..the lovely Jenny Agutter

Children of the Corn? Fo shizzle? "Outlander! We have your woman!"

Worst Line Ever.

Now, Unclesam, Captain Spaulding thanks you.

Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail.

I can't remember which was scarier: the sword fight with the knight that ends with an excellent sword thrust (throw) or that creature that could only be killed by the HHGOA.

Then again, poor Galahad's frightful experience in the castle filled with no evil vixens, only to be saved at the last moment by Lancelot.

Shivers...

Exorcist??????????????????????
?

some plausibilty is required to qualify as scary.

Most others on this list maintain plausibility, unlike the vaste majority of so called scary movies.

plausibility shmausability....get an imagination man!!...where are we....mythbusters!

The Joe Biden produced shocker, "Elect Hussein and He'll be Tested" a nonfiction thriller, scared the shit out of a gazillion Dems and now ranks #1 in the Fright Night listing. The new video game to soon come out is called "Biden, Biden, where dem Dems hiden Biden?"

Dang it, can't you Dems keep him from telling the TRUTH????? What a disaster, not sure the Dems can handle the truth....what a great line for movie sequel, with Jack Nicholson playing Joe Biden.

G.Soros, Owner
Democrat Party

Dr. terror's house of horrors.

Any vincent price flick.

My scarist holloween film is FLOP EARS being elected president!

BUMPKIN44: G. Soros
Owner
Democratic Party. (It's the SOCIALIST PARTY)

Exorcist is the best and scariest movie ever. Back in the day there was NOTHING like it...people are more jaded today about horror movies but this one, to me is the best.

Other honorable mentions: Phantasm, Saw (the first one only....the ending was brilliant), Bram Stoker's Dracula and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Shaun of the Dead :)

The bed is on my foot!
