How many movies come out in a year that are labeled “Horror”? Now, How many of them are actually scary, bone chilling, nerve racking… you know the ones that make you leary about going into your dark, empty house alone? Maybe 1 a year…
What horror movies have actually made you feel they deserved the title?
The Notebook
ZING!
anything by Alfred Hitchcock. Not scary stuff by any means, but you gotta love 'em.
White Noise - It’s not terrifying, but something about that movie made me uneasy. I’m not one to scare big from these movies but this movie really did something for me.
Silent Hill - When the janitor caming crawling out of the bathroom stall wrapped in barbed wire. Whoa.
A Haunting in Conneticut - When the boy is in the basement and his mother is trying to get console him/get him up, the lights start flickering and you see the ghost/burned boy lurching up behind them but only he can see it. That was really something.
Mandingo the forgotten files.
The first “Saw” freaked me the fuck out.
When it came to the realization that Dread Pirate Roberts had to saw off his foot, when the dead dude all the sudden got up, when poor adorable Monica Potter was upset and scared.
That wasn’t a Horror movie, it was a terror movie
Fire in the sky

I haven’t played any of the games, but I really like that movie.
Session 9 IMHO (from the same director as The Machinist) also is a nice one, although not that scary really.
Some scenes from Jacob’s Ladder gave me the creeps.
Nightmare on Elm Street featuring KerleyQueger

Plagiarizer!
This would keep me up at night.
Paranormal Activity 2007
You won’t fall asleep that night…especially if your wife is home.
Low budget ($7,000) made millions
The Exorcist…“Your mother sucks cock in hell” lol. It doesn’t get much scarier than that.

Shit! I was hoping with the slight alteration you wouldn’t notice!
8MM … no, seriously
I love horror movies.
The first Amityville Horror really freaked me out, as did The Omen. Even the new Omen is pretty good, much creepier than a lot of recent adaptations of old school horror movies.
The Gathering was really freaky too- the premise of it is awesome, although the movie could have been much better. The Exorcist is just a classicly frightening movie, as was The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Qurantine was also a very scary movie.
Really any movie with religious overtones, because I mean, what the fuck do you do against the devil? You can’t kill him, you can’t really fight him, and God never comes in on a white horse- once you’re in that position, you’re pretty assured that you’re going to die in order to keep him away.
Any kind of slasher movie, like Scream, Halloween, the Jason movies, etc. don’t scare me because I figure that I’d be like Arnold in Predator… “If it bleeds, I can kill it.” I’d be a fucking handful for that guy, let me tell you
2 girls, 1 cup. The best horror flicks aren’t labeled as such.

I’m going to be a teacher so I need to learn to spot clever stuff like that. That’s why I get paid the big bucks.
Generally its the classics that really shredded the nerves. Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Exorcist, Candyman, Hellraiser, The Fly, The Thing and anything by Romero come to mind.
The new breed of horror films are frankly predictable and gratuitous.
