It's Friday the 13th! Poll! NPCER b/c it's dead in here this am
The board is kind of slow this morning, so I'm breaking out my go to Friday the 13th poll.
Top 5 Favorite Scary Movies!!!
Re: It's Friday the 13th! Poll! NPCER b/c it's dead in here this am
I don't watch a lot of scary movies, but here goes:
Rosemary's Baby
Jacob's Ladder
Silence of the Lambs
Cape Fear
Psycho
I can't do scary movies. Thriller/suspense, yes. Horror and zombies, no.
H told me about this one movie that I couldn't even get through the previews for. Some psycho surgeon makes people into a human caterpillar?? Horrifically disturbing.
Yeah, I watched the previews for that thanks to someone on this board, and it's been haunting me since.
the human centipede. i've tried to avoid all mentions of that movie ever. i don't even want to know it (or it's SEQUEL) exist.
The one with the clowns and cocoons of people.(IT?)
I can't even talk about it without gagging. There is one scene with straws.. Now I am gagging at my desk.
zomg, there's a SEQUEL?! ::huddles in corner rocking back and forth::
I have reserve tickets for The Cabin in the Woods tonight, so I'm hoping it makes this list tomorrow.
1. Halloween ( '77 Carpenter, not Zombie)
2. Scream
3. The Changeling (a good ghost story for those who don't like gore)
4. The Monster Squad (not exactly a "scary" movie, but it is a monster movie and i lurve it)
5. April Fool's Day
honorary mention: Let the Right One In, H20
One of my favorite topics. In no particular order:
The Ring (American version)
Ju-On
Pulse (Japanese version)
The Eye (Chinese version)
Audition (boring as hell until the final 15 minutes and then HOLY SH*T)
only if you exclude #2. b/c omg that is a piece of ***.
I think that's IT. i can't recall the straw scene, but that's ok. Tim Curry can freak you right the eff out.
We may have to see Cabin in the Woods this weekend. It has a 93% on RottenTomatoes! Amazing for a horror film! Plus, ya know, Joss Whedon. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_cabin_in_the_woods/
I am the worst scaredyKat when it comes to horror films
Dawn of the Dead (the new one) haunted me. HAUNTED. And the 1st Resident Evil. I hid for most of that movie. Obv Zombies freak me out. And yet I love The Walking Dead. Go figure.
Call me Kat =^..^=
one day i decided i was just so brave and read the wiki for both HC and Audition. I still can't think of either without dry heaving.
"Audition?"
Re: HC - who the hell is sick enough to come up with this? That's what I wonder about.
Oh I was wrong it is Killer Klowns from Outer Space.

Basically they turn people into these cotton candy cocoons and then drink from them using big curly straws. I really hate cotton candy and I think it is because of this movie.
I like horror movies, not the gory disturbing kind, but the ones that give you an adrenaline rush. The two movies that stick out to me from when I was younger, that I have yet to watch as an adult because I was so scared then:
1. Nightmare on Elm Street
2. Event Horizon
paranormal activity (though, it may have mostly freaked me out since our house is haunted)
poltergeist (the original)
halloween (the original)
nightmare on elm st (the whole kit and kaboodle)
saw (the original)
... and i'll throw in pet cemetery for good measure.
The Shining
REC (Americanized-version is Quarantine, but the original is WAY scarier)
Ju-On
Yeah, I can't come up with more than three really good ones like those.
A lot of y'all are listing The Ring and that movie was terrible and not scary to me. Huh.
Most of the movies that scared me were things I saw as a kid, such as The Omen I & II (the scripture quoting and photos showing people's impending deaths was too much for me. Plus the devil was a kidddddddd!), Poltergeist (there was a clown UNDER THE BED!!!!!ELEVENTY!!!!), The Shining (what in hell possessed my parents to take me to see this movie?! I was scared of my daddy for weeks afterward), Friday the 13th (this dude didn't die yo. He DID NOT DIE!) and Halloween (another never die dude!), then cheesy stuffs like Devil Dog.
That's pretty much all I can think of that's scary.
I don't scare easy, but with that said:
1. Texas Chain Saw Massacre- the original, saw at a drive -in
(remember I'm old)
2. Ghost Story- I think it may have been a movie of the week
on TV, a bunch of old men gather once a year to tell
ghost stories, really freaked me, I had to turn
all the lights on in the house.
Seeing all of the posts reminded me of one my favorite Japanese horror films. My list:
Kairo-j horror film remade into an American film called Pulse
Dark Water- scared the crap out of me! Never saw the Japanese version
The Others-still scares me! I am reading the short story it was based on right now.
Rosemary's Baby
The Exorcist-even the edited tv version freaks me out
i love that episode so much.
