horror flicks

I also like the old 30's movies. Lon Chaney, Bela Lagosi, Boris Carloff definitly started it all. I remember watching wolfman when I was very young and it scared the crap out of me. The original Dracula was also neat to watch. I definitly love the gore in todays movies. I love to think to myself, how the hell did the do that effect, that is bad*!@! I've always got into the special effects part of horror movies. At one point, I was going to enrole at Tom Savini's school of effects in Pennsylvania. It is a 16 month degree in special effects that includes animatronics, human anatomy,claymation work and different kinds of mask making as well as a ton of other cool stuff to learn. If that is what you want to get in to for a career, then Savini's school can get you there.

I'm not allowed to watch horror movies

 

But seriously...I'm not. The closest I've ever come to seeing one is the Scary Movie series, or maybe Final Destination.

hey, im new btw

 

i have to say the Ginger Snaps Trillogy is 'the' best horror films i've seen. i seriously recomend watching these! the grudge was creepy! very jumpy. as for SAW, i hate it, it's the worst film ive seen i reccon. the acting is... well

My childhood scary movies are 'It', 'Child's play', and 'Grimlens'

 

since then i'm kinda scared to watch horror movies, but the ones that really freak me out are 'event horizon', 'grudge', 'jeepers creepers' (just the name alone freaked me out) 'Ginger snaps' (especially) all 'child's play' movies, and lately I can't watch any horror movies coming out last year and this year. i'm not a good scary movie person.

Ya, I loved Steven King's "It "also. The clown was very creepy. You have to love a scary movie that lasts almost 4 hrs. Ginger Snaps was pretty cool.I have not seen the sequel but I liked the first one. I love werewolf flicks.The Howling series is probably my favorite but I also liked Steven Kings "silver Bullet".

I ve always liked the poltergeist movies. The preacher in the second one scares my wife silly.

I want to get Ju-On now though, because I think it will a lot scarier.

 

I preferred Ju-On to The Grudge, although I thought that The Grudge was an excellent film.

 

My faves are:

 

The Scream Trilogy (sheer class and a great way to resurrect the slasher movies genre)

 

Ju-On/The Grudge

 

The Ring

 

Saw

 

Halloween & Halloween H2O

 

Hellraiser

 

Dawn of the Dead (but Shaun of the Dead is even better IMO!)

 

The Exorcist

 

It

 

Carrie

 

House of 1000 Corpes

 

Psycho

 

Friday the 13th

 

Dracula

 

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original, not the re-make)

 

Blade

 

Interview With The Vampire

 

Anything with Jean Claude Van Damme in it - his films are so bad it's scary...

I liked House Of 1000 Corpses but it really reminded me of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It even had one of the actors in it from the 2nd chainsaw film. Still cool but very close in simularity.

The Grude was not scary actually that was quite funny. The Jason's movies was not scary. Freddy was a little scary. The Ring was terrible. The Dawn of the Dead was bull. Really in general, not many movies scared me execpt for Final Destination because of we didn't know where death was coming. It was ok- horror movies and I just don't mix. Plus- Texas Chainsaw Massacre- was not scary. lol- I can't stop talking about it.

Ah, well, I never said I found them scary... That was just a list of movies I liked. I don't scare easily - I thought The Exorcist was funny and most slasher flicks are amusing too. One of the few films that scared me was What Lies Beneath. But that was more 'jumpy' than downright scary.
