Favorite Horror Movie

[c.d.]

With Halloween quickly approaching I thought this would be a good topic. Apologies if a similar thread already exists.

There are a lot of great ones but for me it has to be the original Night of the Living Dead. The story gets going right from the start and the black and white added a great touch. The scene where they are all thinking what in the hell is going on and this can't really be happening but then turn on TV to find out this is now wide spread is classic. And an ending that you don't see coming.

I also have to give a shout out to the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Kevin McCarthy. I have heard some people say oh yeah like I'm really afraid of vegetables but they are missing the point. It pushes to the max the old horror movie theme of "Wow, this is a spooky place, I sure am glad you are with me, Bob. Bob? Bob? BOB?" And again a classic ending.

The Wizard of Gore. The original. The remake is terrible.

Hi C.D.

I guess my favourite horror film would be Hammer Films "Dracula Prince of Darkness". It was the first horror film my parents let me stay up to watch when I was about ten (in the early 70s).

The scariest film I remember seeing at the cinema was "Halloween" 1978.

Of course, a big shout out to the Universal Monsters !! Nothing more creepy than Lugosi, and Lon Chaney Jnr is excellent as the doomed Wolf Man Laurence Talbot.

Did you know that when Boris Karloff was a kid living in London, he lived just around the corner from the Eddowes Coroner Mr S.F. Langham ?!

I've just started watching movies in earnest in the last year, and this month I've been watching more horror movies, so there are still many classics that I have yet to see. I'm a fan of Hitchcock in general, not only or even primarily his horror movies, but I do like Psycho and The Birds.

I tend to like what you might call light horror. Not a lot of blood and gore, or even terror, but rather suspense, mystery and creepiness. As such, two that I've seen recently that I like are The Innocents and The Changeling. Both involve a haunted house.

I certainly wouldn’t call myself a film buff but as far as horror films are concerned I do love the original Dracula and Frankenstein. I love the original silent Nosferatu too but I would like to see the recent one at some point. There are a few other oldies but I can’t recall any titles at the moment.

I did love An American Werewolf In London when I was younger. Haven’t seen it for years though.

I love Hammer and my favourite is The Devil Rides Out.
Really enjoy the great late 60s/70s classics like The Exorcist, The Omen and Rosemary's Baby. Just tonight watched 30 days of Night a vampire story set in Alaska it's really good.
