The Shining

The Ring is pretty creepy, not scary, but creepy.

I don't care, jump all over me, but my favourite is Scream

I am very familiar with the classics, and the new ones. But to me this one embodies everything I want. Plus it reminds me of making out when I was a teenager. Smile

The 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead (Ving Rhames, Sarah Polley, Jake Weber) is easily my favorite. Great, great flick on every level.

The Evil Dead movies are classic.

I own a copy of the original Friday the 13th, which I bought at Carrefour for 5000 won.

My all time favorite is probably the original Halloween. I love the whole "mid-afternoon-sleepy-town-gets-terrorized-by-psycho-in-a-william-shatner-mask" thing they had going. It'll be interesting to see the Rob Zombie remake that comes out next year.

Does "Jacob's Ladder" count as a scary movie?

A recent good flick that I got in the subway was "The Descent."

The Exorcist or The Shining.

Not a genre I am particularly fond of though.

Oh crap. THE DESCENT! I'll never be able to watch that movie again. I'm scared of the dark, so that movie absolutely terrifies me.

I thought the US remake of Juon (The Grudge) was pretty good in that jump out and startle you sort of way. But for storyline and overall creepiness, Prince of Darkness was a spooky one.

BTW, what's The Descent all about? I've never heard of it.

Anyway, crazy shit starts happening as tehy are seraching for another way out. Something is living in the caves...... MWHUAAHHHAHAHAA. Its so horribly scary. I have goosbumps thinking about it.

The descent was scottish women- and 1 american in the US appalatian mts, and the reason they can't get out is that the american gal led them to an unexplored cave- good film, original but with a less than perfect ending. BTW, the UK and US releases have different endings so if you don;t like one, get the other.

I have a personal fetish for zombie movies, and my favorite of that genre would probably have to be night of the living dead 2. My favorite truly scary movie though, would have to be An Inconvienent Truth- that film will scare the $hit out of ya.

The most frightening movie I've seen in ages was this one (English name: Cinderella):



I watched it alone at night, and I had to leave the room three times and regroup, and I'm no chicken.
