rainee Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 If they start burning books in a movie it becomes a horror film for me. But my dad and I loved to watch Boris Karloff in The Mummy when I was a kid. My dad knew every line in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyoka1 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Maybe not my very favorite, but "Brides Of Dracula" would rank near the top. http://greenbriarpictureshows.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oreocat Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 "The Mummy" scared the hell out of me when I was a kid. Watching it on Creature Features (any New Yorkers here) gave me nightmares. The scene where he was wrapped alive was terrifying. "Aliens" was not a sci-fi movie - it was classic horror movie where someone is trapped in a house (now a spaceship) and can't get out. An overlooked movie is "Fallen" with Denzel Washington. Nothing gory, but the psychological thrill is unbelievable. "The House On Haunted Hill" with Vincent Price was another that scared the hell out of me when I was a kid. And "The Omen" scared me - probably because I didn't read the book. The reason "The Exorcist" didn't affect me as much is because I did read the book first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsallieharding Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 My favorite cult horror films are these: Castle of Blood (1964) Shivers (1975) Suspiria (1977) Tombs of the Blind Dead Return of the Blind Dead Black Sabbath (1963) Whip and the Body (1963) Spirits of the Dead(1968) Last Man on Earth (1964) Turn of the Screw (1974) Devil's Nightmare (1971) Castle of the Walking Dead (1967) House of Seven Corpses (1973) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinston Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I like the old horror movies like: Frankenstein Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man The Wolf Man Dracula King Kong-the part that is chilling for me is where the tribe takes Fay Wray up to where she is tied to the stake. Dracula 1979 the Halloween movies- Jason made me jump more than once This isn't a horror movie, but the program, One Step Beyond, is really scary. You don't want to watch this before you go to bed. Remember, it's only a program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarboManiac Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I love all the old horror movies: Frankenstein, Wolfman, Dracula, The Mummy. But, my favorites are the trilogy: Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, and Son of Frankenstein. It is from these three little masterpieces that Gene Wilder created his masterpiece Young Frankenstein. Without having watched all three of those orignals, you really haven't got a clue.

GoldenTimesIII Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Mine would have to be...

coolrob1955 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 As a variation to this thread, I would like to know what is your 'Favorite All-time Scary Flick!'. Horror movies can be described many ways, 'interesting', 'atmospheric', 'shocking', 'gory', 'Laughable' etc. But in my experience very few of them can be described as 'SCARY'. I would like to know what you consider to be a genuinely 'Scary' movie. I must say, the 1963 version of 'The Haunting' had me going for a while. It's not the kind of movie to watch alone in an old dark house. The few movies that have thrown a scare into me were not within the 'Horror' genre.

GarboManiac Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I agree completely, Metry. Although, I think most people would still call them horror. Friday the 13th, Halloween, and oh, there was another one I can't think of right now, but they scared me to death when I first saw them. I don't think the old ones scare us because they are so tame compared to films today. I haven't seen any since the ones I just mentioned because I know they would scare the living daylights out of me, and I am too old to want that, on any level. But, I'll bet back when the old horror films were shown, many of those viewers were not only scared, but had nightmares! One movie I saw previews for was where the gal is babysitting and she gets the call from within the house! Oh, gosh! Too scary for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcr1 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 My favorites tend to have a twisted sense of humor to them: The Invisible Man Returns (I've been reading up on WWII recently, and I wonder how much Vincent Price's character may have been based on Hitler! The movie came out during the early part of the war.) The Abominable Dr. Phibes Scream Abbott And Costello Meet Frankenstein (even though it's really a comedy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarboManiac Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Loved Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein! I have it in my collection! Everybody is in it! Frankenstein's monster, Dracula, Wolfman, (No Mummy!) and even The Invisible Man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixfriend Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 My favorite would have to be Mad House; it's pretty recent but should be in the horror section @ blockbuster and not in new release. I highly recommend this film for any horror fans out there. And the movie May is also a favorite. But the SCARIEST movie would have to be The Grudge, although Gothica made me scream outloud. But my favorite classic horror films would have to be Arsenic and Old Lace, the 70's version of the Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Thing with Kurt Russell, The Spiral Staircase and Psycho.

Shep Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 You folks all have the best of the best listed. I guess my favorites would have to include (not in any order): Session 9 Exorcist/Exorcist III Dracula/Frankenstein/Wolfman/Mummy (and their followups) The Grudge/Ju-On Ring/Ringu The Last Broadcast Suspiria Nosferatu(both silent and more recent) any Lon Chaney Sr. or Boris Karloff films Vampyr (the silent one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donchristian Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Far too many for my brian to chose from...let's see.. King Kong and 7th Voyage of Sinbad for fantasy. Classic horror perhaps...Bride of Frankenstien. The one ghost story I watch every Halloween is Robert Wise's The Haunting. Like I said just to hard for me to pick under the wide label "Horror".

MaxMania Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I don't know that it's my favorite horror film, but the only one that really and truly scared (and continues to scare) me is THE EXORCIST. "You're all gonna die up there..." It doesn't get any creepier than that for me. As for down-to-earth, too easy to believe it's true horror, I like THE STEPFATHER. No ghosts, no demons, no monsters - just one very scary and realistic "family man" who doesn't like to be disappointed. And, generally speaking, anything with zombies is worth seeing at least once. I love zombies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66Cafe Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I think it's hard to narrow this down, but it would probably have to be HALLOWEEN (the original). Now if you're asking about all-time faves in the classic era, I would probably include CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, THE CREEPING FLESH, and THE MUMMY!
