[REPTILIAN-KMAN]

I hired out the 2003 Texas chainsaw massacre. I quite liked it I've been known to hire out 7 horror movies at a time, Summer's Moon was one of the last ones I watched. That was pretty good. Very screwed up, just the way I like it

 

[krusty]

the devils rejects,house of a 1000 corpses,evil dead(the first one),all the nightmare on elm street's,but love all horror movies so i will watch any.

 

[CrystalMoon]

There is a movie that I have tried to find the name of for years. I saw it when I was pretty young and so only remember brief snippets. There is a group of people partying/picnicking (?) on a lake and there is something in the water that keeps killing them.
The one scene that sticks in my mind best is where one guy gets pulled through a gap in the pontoon/boat thing and all you see is his finger with a ring and the finger slips down and leaves the ring...

The movie you are after is the second segment of "Creepshow 2" entitled "The Raft". I still dislike swimming in freshwater lakes because of that short.

Hmm... all time favorites would have to be:

The Thing (John Carpenter's version)
Alien (Watched this on Beta when I was 8. *shudder*)
Dawn of the Dead (Original AND remake [FAST zombies?!?! Really?!?!? Sucked to be them!])
Hellraiser
Poltergeist
The Entity
The Blair Witch Project (Many, incuding my missus, simply do not 'get' how that flick was absolutely terrifying!)
American Werewolf in London
Saw 1 (Sorry but the rest were crap)
Creepshow 2 ('The Raft' scarred me for life, now that's horror!)
Twilight Zone: The Movie (That kid was frickin creepy)

Most modern horror *beeps* dog *beeps* IMO, all they seem to do is rip each other off for ideas, but a couple recent ones of note:

Insidious (Not a completely original idea but well done IMO)
Orphan (Just didn't see that coming!)
The Others (I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't figured it out so early in the movie. I had just seen an episode of 'The Outer Limits' a few days prior that had the same premise.)
They (A lot of cheap but well done thrills)
The Grudge
28 Days Later (The original 'fast' zombie movie)

SW you are the king! Thank you

 

[Sock Puppet]

The only ones ever to set my heart racing, (probably as I was <10yo at the time) were Jaws & Alien, saw both at the drive in theatre. I don't mind some of the modern zombie horrors like 28 Days Later, Dawn of the Dead remake, but I still watch both those original 70s movies at least a few times a year, I never tire of them.

You go inside the cage? [Hooper nods]
Cage goes in the water, you go in the water. Shark's in the water. Our shark.
Farewell and adieu to you, fair Spanish ladies. Farewell and adieu, you ladies of Spain.

Has anyone watched the Australian film called THE TUNNEL ?

YouTube - ‪The Tunnel (2011) Official Teaser Trailer - www.thetunnelmovie.net‬&rlm;

here it is.....

 

[lace90]

Hmmm....

Th human centipede...*shudder*

 

[saximus]

lol that wasn't scary though. It was just gross and stupid

 

[slim6y]

SW you are the king! Thank you

Actually, it was Stephen King...

The Raft was in one of Stephen King's short story books.... Skeleton Crew??? I remember reading it - was really cool

My favourite horror movie... Hmmmmm....

I have to admit for newness - I loved the Blair Witch - not overly scary... but I told my (then) gf that it was the actual footage that was found... she was so scared and horrified for weeks...

I also enjoyed (not scared) Paranormal Activity and I saw Paranormal Activity II on Halloween - the movie theatre was packed - unfortunately I laughed so hard at the people screaming.

 

[Snake_Whisperer]

Lol, because of this thread, I had a mini horror marathon today!

A couple more of my faves that I caught up with today:

They
30 Days of Night

Watched "The Tunnel" the other day, found too many 'borrowed' elements to make it enjoyable. Obviously the biggest one being the 'cam' aspect. It has been done to death by far better flicks like BWP, Paranormal Activity (1), and heck, even "Cloverfield" (Hollywood drivel but I have a soft spot for gigantic, city destroying monsters!).

 

[jinjajoe]

You cannot beat Nightmare on Elm Street 3 'Dream Warriors' the eighties at its best & Freddies 'one liners' by this stage were absolutely gold.

 

[elapid@]

I had a dream last night i was being chased by mike Myers in Halloween....Then i woke up in the middle of the night and heard foot steps then realized i was still dreaming then woke up to reality i was relieved lol .......has any one had dreams of horror out of a film and becomes the victim .......i love em almost like watching a horror movie.....even no its a short 15 second film lol my dreams feel like they go for hours.....but apparently dreams last for a very short time.....

 

[snakebag]

Has anyone seen a movie I think it was called Killer clowns from mars. I saw it years ago remember it as a pretty good whatch. Killer clowns start wrapping people in fairy floss and jam straws in and drink them.lol was pretty funny.

 

[Snake-Supplies]

Frankenstein... the original.

Love it.

Or house on haunted Hill
The vincent price version.

The first one I ever saw was The Fly when I was like eight. I was scared of the dark for a couple of years after that.

As for favourite, it's a toss up between Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003 version) and Halloween (Rob Zombie version)

OMG! I watched "The Fly" too - hated flies and "scientists" ever since! :lol:

I think the movie that has left its mark on me for "most memorable" would have to be "The Thirteenth Ghost"... Been on telly a couple of times now, but the DVD is best - uncut... I've now watched it three times and I still jump! Even though I know what to expect! Brilliant effects!

There is a movie that I have tried to find the name of for years. I saw it when I was pretty young and so only remember brief snippets. There is a group of people partying/picnicking (?) on a lake and there is something in the water that keeps killing them.

I think I know the one you mean Dan... Was it about a group of kids who "win" a trip to an island from a call-back radio show? Had Katie Holmes in it? The title escapes me just now, but will give it some thought!
