Favourite Horror Movie

[Midgar Mist]

Through a series of boyfriends and male friends alike I was introduced to such horrors as the Halloween films, Stephen King's IT, and Freddy vs. Jason. None of which I would have been able to watch without burrowing my head in a strong shoulder of maleness.
So over to you, horror films: best, worst and can anyone tell me if they were actually stupid enough to make more Halloween films after the 8 I saw? Much appreciated.

1408

I dunno if The Others counts as a horror movie or if it's more of a suspense but either way I like it a lot

1408

1408 is a great film. I love the scene with John Cusack and Samuel L Jackson near the start.

I've never actually thought about this. I suppose if we count sci-fi horror then I'd have to go with Alien too.

I've seen the Alien Quadrology, for me the film franchise loses it way somewhere near the end of Alien 3, although the 4th one had its moments

So..............Halloween films? Dare I ask. Is the unkillable Michael Myers still on the loose? We thought she beheaded him in H2O dammit! Then 8? How in the name of all sanctity could they convincingly kill him off after that?

I never even watched the one after H20. Since then there were two remakes by Rob Zombie that were good and decent respectively. There haven't been any straight up sequels to the original movies since resurrection to my knowledge.

As far as my favourite, i could pick something classic like Alien but I'll give some love to the Evil Dead remake since Alien will undoubtedly get a lot of love in this thread. Evil Dead is just a wonderful, practical effects driven piece of work that really gets the old blood lust up.

Alien, The Thing and A Nightmare on Elm Street are probably my all time favourites, just thinking off the top of my head.

The Halloween remakes were awful. Really bad.

I'd say suspense is kind of a sub-genre of horror anyways. Also, this is a great movie.

Probably my FAVORITE horror movie is House on Haunted Hill, though.

They shouldn't have made anything after H2O, the story ended there with Jamie Lee Curtis beheading him. Then, they bring it back and it turns out he found a way to survive? Then he kills her? No way should they have done that.

6 was good, they gave Myers more of a back story as to why he was the way he was (it was sweetend by an early Paul Rudd appearance)

I have no idea, I've never been much of a horror fan.

I don't know. It changes. 28 Days Later for actual terror, Dracula for classic horror.

Forgot about 28 Days Later. There was a time years ago when I only owned 3 DVDs and that was one of them, I've probably watched it more times than most movies I've seen.

I also forgot to mention Thirteen Ghosts!

It's great. There are a lot of movies that I see that I will get really into and will scare me as I'm watching them, but after they're over I realize that the plot/story/everything was really dumb.

I recently saw It Follows on recommendation that it was one of the best/better horror films of the past few years and was disappointed in how little I cared about it.

Also, I guess I would say The Babadook, even though I feel weird saying that because I find it charming.
