I'm a big fan of horror movies.It's my favorite genre.Especially ones from the 50s and the 80s.Are there any horror fans here?
-
I am. But more of the mysterious films, such as Saw, where they make you think also.

No, but I figured that movie out about 20 min into it. Plus, it wasn't that scary.

I used to be a big fan of horror movies and I have loads of horror books as well, but I just can't seem to watch them anymore. They prey on my mind too much and I end up having sleepless nights... :(
but Fred Kruger always was a fave, and The Fog, love that film!
Would "The Lost Boys" count as a horror film?... :)
-
Just saw SAW 3 at the movies.
The end was very good but I didn't really like the movie. It was like they wanted to put as many torture scene one after another.
In general in like horror movies and I watch quite a lot. But stuff like SAW or Hostel just isn't my thing.
-
The Shining. That has to be in everyones faves. ;D

I liked "The Lost Boys" as well, but I don't think it clasifies as a horrer flick. As far as movies like Freddy Kruger, and Jason, I think the more of them the make the more stupid they get. I liked the original Amityville Horror and the first Hellraiser.
-
A quality horror flick is hard to come by.
So many of them seem to be by college film students trying to squeeze in as many of their NEWLY-LEARNED special effects as first priority...
...Oh yeah...gotta have the good lookin' chick in the revealing booby-wear (or in the shower)
....with a cheesy plot as last priority.
I'm with don....older ones
I'm with Tyler...they need to have a good, well-crafted, mystery plot.
Going from one bloody slash scene to the next....I start yawning.
-

Tony doesn't like that! ;D
That movie is awesome!!
-
not sure if it counts but i liked the devil's rejects....
-
Some of my favorites are
Friday the 13th
Mutant
Carrie
Carnival of Souls
Horror Hotel
Sleepaway Camp
and countless more.

IT scared the hell out of me when I was a kid, you couldn't get me near a sewer lid or a clown for a long time afterwards.
-
talking of clowns, Poltergeist used to give me nightmares. I got too scared to get out of bed just in case there was one underneath it. :o
That is a classic!
-
I love horror movies. Even when I was about 8 or 9. They used to scare the hell out of me, but I couldn't look away. I remember I used to sleep with at least one lamp on in my room. I figured if the light was on, the Boogeyman or whatever else was out there wouldn't try to get me.
-
Definitely, also the classic SciFi stuff of the 50's and 60's.
Some good ones: Original Invasion of Bodysnatchers. After watching it, my brother put a football behind my back while I slept. Still haven't forgiven him
Orginal Invaders From Mars, you'll never visit a sand dune again.
Agree on original Elm Street, man freaked me out first time.
-
In the original Invaders From Mars whenever the sand pit opened up they played that really creepy music that sounded like a chorus or choir. I always loved that. I often wondered if that was the martians making that sound or just the music effects.
-
Freezing cold day here again, will have to watch it this afternoon and check that out. Thought it was the Martians.
-
I just rented Slither and thought it was ok. Also, The Descent was pretty good. I want to see Hannibal, the book was great and the movie is getting good reviews.

My wife and I both thought the Descent was good as well.
-
I love Horror, but only 2 movies have scared me.
The original Exorcist and... Jaws
both were the only movies that gave me nightmares... :'(
anything else I just like the gore!!! :XX
-
I watched Sci-Fi type of horror flick this weekend called "Altered". The wife wasn't a big fan but I thought it was pretty good.

I watched the original Exorist a couple weeks back....my wife's like, "why in hell are you watching that?"
I said, "ssssssshhhhhhhhhh" while waving my hand at her from the side without missing any of the action.
Isn't it funny how they can't/don't wait for the freaking COMMERCIAL to ask questions :x!
-
Maybe not in the true genre of "horror" but check out The Changling. Unlikely star of George C. Scott, but good scare film minus the blood and guts, like the old Hitchcock type.

Yeah, Paul...that reminds me......I'm typically not into slash, chop, blood & guts horror flicks.
The original "Hitcher" would be an exception. But it was the creepy (and excellent) acting of Rutger Haur that made that film.
Other than that I'm more into paranormal creepy flicks. The sixth sense had that creepy appeal....especially the scene when the (dead) little girl appears in the kid's tent fort and pukes....that's C-R-E-E-P-Y.

I LOVE the sixth sense...!!
I think films with kids in are more disturbing than most, I dunno whether that's because I'm a parent or what.
I also liked that other movie by the director of the sixth sense, Signs.
There's a few scenes in that that make me jump out of my skin.
-
M. Night Shyamalan is a flipping movie making genius imo
-
MagmaBabe, glad you reminded me of that. Sixth Sense was awesome, expecially like those visual scenes where the dead walk through the background. I tape Hauntings on Thurs nights, has same effects but based on real stories.

Dude, I love that show! ... now that's CREEPY stuff, since it's based on real life stuff
-
Ah Robmeister, you're a man of taste. Course the show goes better with a cold BUD!
-

Im in total agreement with you there, although I think he lost the plot just a bit with the village. But his films always keep me wondering. I also like how he plays a cameo role in every single one. O0
In fact, I just watched the sixth sense. Made me cry, again!!
I am such a baby! :-[

I dunno whether you guys get a show over there called Most Haunted, but it's a bunch of brits going on ghost watches, normally in the uk. Now that is friggin scary!! I used to watch it all the time, but had to stop due to waaaay too many sleepless nights. They go to really old buildings, or places that have witnessed paranormal activity, they then use night vision cameras and set up booby traps, have mediums hold seances etc... to try and make contact with the dead...how true it is, I have no idea, but it still frightens the @*!$ out of me!!

Rob, you could always pay her back by booking a family vacation to The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Co. It's considered one of the most haunted hotels in America. Oh, and it just happens to be the hotel from the movie the Shining.

I watched a bunch of those shows while I was over there last spring. My friends really liked it. Very good show! We have some similar shows here (hauntings, ghost hunters, etc...), but none quite as good... we can get Most Haunted on BBC America I think.
I also really liked "Dead Famous" with Gail Porter (A beautiful bald babe).

Hi Vash! yeah, Gail is great. The first (and only) woman to have her naked body plastered all over the Houses of Parliament!
One woman who HAS come to terms with losing her hair. :)

there is also the MYRTLES hotel north of baton rouge. also one of the most haunted places in the US.
-
I must admit that I'm not too crazy about Shamalyn movies but Sixth Sense was the exception.I was disappointed with The Village and Lady in the Water was stupid,more of a kids movie.
-
On the note of scary movies and hotels has anyone seen the trailers for 1408? With John Cusack and Samuel Jackson? Looks pretty good.

My wife wanted me to watch a movie with her. when she told me what it was i got so frickin scared of it that i couldn't watch tv at all for a week. that movie scared me too much to watch ANY of it.
-
It would be cool if I can add Hanibal Rising to this list
-
Have you seen it (Hannibal Rising), yet? I was going to watch it with a buddy this weekend, but saw it had only 4 out of 10 stars on IMDB. ???

My brother-in-law has seen it and said it was good. He said it helps if you are a fan of the other two Hannibal movies though.
-
I am a horror geek. If you guys aren't into all the blood and guts stuff I recommend "Session 9". I wouldn't really call it a horror film but it scared the crap out of my ex. Great movie.
-
I haven't seen it yet but I have plans to tomorrow. I hope it is as good as has been advertised, I can't imagine that it'll be as good as Silence of the Lambs.

Would like to check that out next time I head to New Orleans which is supposed to have a few haunted bars. Chicago has a guy gives a bus tour complete with beverages that hits the famous haunted spots in Chicago. Most famous is Resurrection Cemetary, where a young girl is dropped off after hitchhiking. Makes the papers when it happens each time. Was the basis for the 60's song Laurie.
-
I know that New Orleans always seems to have specials about haunted places. I think once I heard a show give it the title of America's most haunted city. I traveled a good portion of the city and with only a few exceptions of actual physical threats I felt total normal there.
-

Dude...ya can't leave us hangin' there....
What were the threats?......gimme.....gimme
-
Well since I was there after Katrina, there was a few times where we had confrontation with the dregs left behind. Nothing that great, sorry to disappoint, Rob.

Oh...so you were there in a military capacity....that makes sense.
I was picturing you being there with your wife on a vacation and having several physical threats....I'm like, holy crap, I'm cancelling my visit to see Paulie.
-
don't cancel. have you ever caught gators by hand(BARE HANDS)? 8)
-

Now that sounds like too much fun. Years back when I was training at Ft Polk, LA one of my guys caught a lil' one (about 18-24 in) with his hands and some 550 cord (a string/rope). It was good times. I touched it after it was tied up, but I wasn't going to try to catch him with just me.
Ever watch that show dirty jobs, one of the jobs was work on a gator farm. :-\
-
we have caught them up to about 4 feet. no net, no rope, just bare hands.
-
Damn Paulie, nothin to do after you run out of beer on a Saturday night?
-
people actually run out of beer? sounds like bad planning to me. >:D
-

That is just about as redneck as it gets! :-[
-
yeah and, are you scared?
-
Scared of the "redneckness" or to wrestle 4 foot gators? :/O
??? yes
-
ain't you from OKLAHOMA? redneck is not anything new for you. :*))
-
I'm a transplant.
-
don't cancel. have you ever caught gators by hand(BARE HANDS)? 8)
I'd go for that....
I've wrestled a young mountain lion.....a leopard.....an 11 foot burmese python...a couple of chimpanzees.
No I ain't s%^tin'....my mom is an exotic animal consultant....I grew up with all kinds of exotic pets....My mom has been sort of a halfway house for animals used in Hollywood TV/Movies.....still does it at age 76.
We've had all of the above as pets at one time or 'nother....even gators.
LOL!!!....when I was in elementary school and had "show and tell"....other kids were bringing in their pet turtle, or mouse.....
I brought in---and this ain't no lie---a couple of river otters....or a wallaby (small kangaroo)....or even a chimpanzee.
If you'll indulge me...
When I started 1st grade, the principle of the Catholic school I went to was a friend of the family. On the first day of school...the teacher asked all the kids what kinds of pets we all had.....
So going around the class they came to me...and I said, "Well we have 2 monkeys....2 otters....a wallaby...etc...etc..."
My teacher goes to the principle and says, "Principle.....we might have a problem with little Robbie Blackmore, he lives in a fantasy world. He said that he has monkeys, chimpanzees, otters, kangaroos as pets!"
The principle--again knowing the Blackmore's says, "Sister Roberta....that's not a fantasy...they do have pets like that."
True friggen story!!!
There's more to the Robmeister than meets the eye....
