What's your all time favourite horror movie and why? This can include horrorcomedy films, like Shaun of the Dead

Wow! That's a really tough one. I love horror movies, so it's hard to pick.

I guess if I really, really had to pick one, it would be Rob Zombie's Halloween remake. Not to take anything away from the original, I loved the remake and how RZ gave Michael Meyers more background. Also, I think RZ's Michael is more frightening. In the original movies, Michael pretty much just kills whoever is in range. In the latest incarnation, though, Michael actually has a criteria for whom he kills. If you show him disrespect or try to stop him from achieving his goals, you're history.

Hey, that's a coincidence, was just going to name one of Rob Zombie's other movies as my favorite!

House of 1000 Corpses is my favorite since it has everything a good horrormovie needs, evil clowns, doctor Satan, a psycho family, great actors. The story is a bit weird but it's just a fantastic ride...

but there are much more good movies, too much

Ho1KC is a fabulous movie! It's a wonderful homage to tacky 70's horror flicks. As for it having "everything a good horror movie needs", you forgot two very important elements: Captain Spaulding and Baby! Spaulding is the perfect reason to be afraid of clowns, and Baby... Well... How do you describe someone that's Concentrated Sex^tm one minute, and totally psychotic the next?

Hi.

My all time favourite horror is "The Exorcist" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070047/) . First time I watched this movie when I was thirteen. That was terrific

I agree, but The Exorcist: New Beginning (200? remake) absolutely shell-shocked me.... hmm it will always remain a controversial trilogy in the context of a its derogative stance with religion!

i dont like horror movies

although i found the silence of the lambs pretty scary!

I don't like horror movies either.

I did watch (and read) "Silence of the Lambs", and I thought "The Skeleton Key" was pretty creepy.

Quite honestly, the worst part of watching it was that I watched it with my oldest daughter: If the movie doesn't scare the hell out of you, she will. She screams, makes her own sound effects, jumps and spills the popcorn all over the place, etc.

I cannot believe that this is the child I had to walk through the house with 14 times in 1 night to make sure all of the doors and windows were locked so that Freddy Kruger couldn't come and get her.

for horror, horror movies I like the Blair Witch Project and the Saw series
but for comedy horror it has to be Shaun of the Dead. Simon Pegg is a legend!

You're not wrong there!

Simon Pegg


When A Stranger Calls and Frenchman's Farm (a low-budget Aussie movie) were my favourites when I was a kid but now I think my favourites are the Saw movies.

I've watched the classic The Wizard of Gore (1970 version), it had a wonderful atmosphere

When I was about 13 one episode of Psi factor really scare me. But now days I'm really into zombie films (every thing from Romero and remakes of his film).

One word:

JUON

I don't think any movie can beat this.

A classical answer..

Birds of Hitchkock..

AVPR: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem (2007)

Halloween: H20

I like that one..Its really funny movie.. Rigt now my favorite movie is the ring american version..I am scared of white lady..Sometime i can still imagining someone, a white lady staring at me ..(LOL)

My favorite is a old movie called "Lady In A Cage" starring Olivia de Havilland and James Caan.....IMDB says don't see it alone!!
From IMDB:
Released back in the mid-'60's, this sadly overlooked thriller was way ahead of its time and foreshadows the senseless violence that exists in our society today. Olivia de Havilland gives a stunning performance as a partially crippled woman who becomes trapped in her private elevator during a power failure. Meanwhile, three vicious thugs(led by James Caan in his film debut) ransack her house and contemplate murdering a hustler(Ann Sothern) and a wino(Jeff Corey) who are unwittingly along for the ride. It's a gripping, chillingly realistic tale, with first-rate performances by the superb cast. Not only did James Caan make his debut with this film, but LADY IN A CAGE also marked the return of the great Ann Sothern who had been absent from the big screen for ten years to star in the popular TV shows "Private Secretary" and "The Ann Sothern Show".

Oh i love all horror movies . The best in my list are Destination 1,2,3.. Shutter , The Ring 1,2,3 ...

well, my favourite are the scary movie series....i prefer spoofs as compared to the original horror movies

A nightmare on Elm Street.

My all time favourite horror movie is "The Exorcist. The sequence was excellent, really excellent. Well shot, brilliant cinematography. It is really horrable movie. Every body shold see this movie if he/she like horrable movie.

28 days later or dawn of the dead.
think it'd have to be 28 days later.. Naomie Harris is..... mmm! just mmmm!

my all time favourite is "Ju-on the grudge" (the version with buffy, not the asian original), and well, I like all episodes of saw.

Paranormal Activity is a super low budget horror/suspense movie (way more suspense than horror). Seriously, they made it for $11,000! It is about a couple who live together and are trying to capture on film some of the spooky things that are going on in their house.

It's a pretty slow moving film, but there are enough spooks and creepy happenings to keep you involved and the movie feels like you are watching home movies. I'd give it a solid B ... maybe a B+ since they made the movie so cheap! Goes to show you don't need a huge budget to make a big impact!avatr
