NER: Name your favorite scary movie
Re: NER: Name your favorite scary movie
Psycho
Rosemary's Baby
Close. Her mother does the dirty work. Was that movie as sickening as it sounds?
I loved the Exorcist. ?But, I also don't think I've ever believed in posession. ?I wanted to believe in stuff like that in middle school, so that may have been why I liked the movie when I first saw it. ?It was creepy and cool at the same time.
You guys are giving me an idea to host (or rather, convince someone else to host since I don't have furniture or a TV) a Hitchcock Halloween party. ?Ah, back in the days when we were scared and creeped out instead of just disgusted by gore.?

Actually his remake of Halloween is really good, IMO. Except for the beginning where it starts out as your average Rob Zombie flick, but once it gets to the original movie storyline it's pretty good. We liked it.?
Personally, documentaries on serial killers scare the crap out of me because they are real. Just reading about Jeffrey Dahmer, BTK, ?John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy makes me super paranoid. And then the unsolved ones? aaah! You can't make some of that sh!t up. Even the A&E (or maybe Discovery Channel) documentary on The Amityville Horror scared me so much more than the movie ever did. But I don't know where you can find those to rent them.?
I am an A&E true crime super fan. There was one relating to zodiac killings that was extremely frightening. This was a different zodiac than I'd heard of before, and he was also never found. If I recall correctly, I think he was committing rapes and murders somewhere in California. By the way, why do so many killers use this title?
I think that The Ring scared me more than any movie ever and I scare easy so that is saying a lot.
I also love classic horror movies like The Birds, Psycho and the original Haunting of Hill House and Omen.

I know exactly what you mean. At the beginning of his remake I turned to DH and said "Great. This is gonna be stupid like every other Zombie flick" because of all the cussing for the sake of cussing and all the white trashyness, but then I was pleasantly surprised. It was really only the first 30 minutes that are your average R. Zombie movie.?
Asian horror, also known as "J-Horror," is my porn. I love it. It's not gory but very, very creepy.
The original version of The Ring sucks (it's the only American remake that was better than the original). The original Ju-On, Pulse, and the Eye are fantastic movies and will keep you awake at night for a long time after you've seen them. The Orphanage (a Spanish film) is excellent and also creepy without any gore.
I also second Something Wicked This Way Comes for the nostalgia and creepiness.
