So Jojo (Jojee here) has some interviews in D.C. and will be staying at my apartment for a weekend. She's a ridiculous wimp, but for some reason wants to stay up and watch scary movies. Our current list of possibilities looks like this:
The Shining (she's never seen it)
Silent Hill
Rec
The Mist
Topic: Do you like scary movies? What are your favorites? Feel free to give other suggestions for us.
The Orphanage was pretty enjoyable.
RESIDENT EVIL: DEGENERATION
AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN PARIS
ginger snaps 2
Oh yes, I forgot about the Resident Evil CG movie.
However, Ginger Snaps is actually just terrible/hilarious, and An American Werewolf doesn't look scary enough.
I am never going to let you sleep again after this. Every night I will call you and wake you up at 3am crying about how monsters are going to eat me or something. FYI.
It will be so fun! :D
I'm pretty sure your reactions throughout Scary Movie Night will be worth it.
The Haunting in Connecticut was pretty damn scary.
If you want spooky then there's the Exorcism of Emily Rose and Silent Hill.
A scary movie with a good story: 'The Uninvited' comes to mind.
And Rec is smurfing awesome. (the Spanish not the English version)
dreamcatcher that was funny scary
if shes that much of a wuss go with nightmare on elm street its like spicy food if you eat enough you love it
I've got a lot of time for The Descent and Let the Right One In (the latter isn't particularly scary, though).
Other than that, any George Romero zombie film! Dawn of the Dead is probably my favourite (the remake isn't bad either).
I'm a wuss, I hate scary movies. Though I'm slowly building up tolerance to them. Slowly.
The Descent is great indeed.
Saw, My Little Eye, The Others.
Saw is off the list.
Rec is apparently also off the list because Jojo doesn't want subtitles so she'd have to actually look at the screen. Presumably she will be cowering in terror for half of every movie, so it looks like English-only suggestions will be considered.
Thanks for the other suggestions, and we'll look them up. I'll be sure to post here what we ended up going with and then we can keep track of how many days Jojo goes without sleep.
You do realize we'll get through maybe 1 scary movie and then I will be either too freaked out and/or too drunk to watch/pay attention to the rest? xD
The Others looks good, and The Descent seems pretty scary. Good reviews for both. Let the Right One In isn't in English, but I'll see it sometime on my own time since, yay vampires. The other movies mentioned have pretty mediocre IMDB ratings. xD
We're not gonna get to see all the movies on the list, but we can pick later Wesly.
Silent Hill
The Mist
The Shining
The Others
The Descent
I'm shocked at the lack of 80's horrors in this thread, you people disgust me.
Anyways,
Romero's Dead series (minus Diary, that film sucked)
Return Of the Living Dead 1 & 2 (supposed to be scary, but mostly hilarious)
Rec
The Thing
The Descent was pretty creepy too
The Poltergiest series, VERY jumpy
Pulse, also very jumpy
Ringu and Ju-On: The Grudge series, the ORIGINAL japanese versions, the American remakes were laughable.
And thats it for now, Silent Hill and Resident Evil were nice for what they were, but I personally didnt find them scary.
Speaking of Japanese horror films,
Oh my GODDDDD has anyone seen "Hair Extensions"? THAT MOVIE IS SO MESSED UP. Japan is so messed up!! xD
Edit: Here it is. Ekusute (2007)
