-Night of the Living Dead: because it's the zombie classic and a must-see
-Scream: because it has some humor in it
-Final Destination: because unlike other horror movies, fear isn't caused by monsters, zombies, serial killers ect., but by something real which scares (almost) everybody: death, and the fact that you may encounter it anytime and anywhere
-The Ring: because it's really scary, especially the video and the scene when the zombie girl comes out of the TV

I don't like scary movies. I'm not the type who likes to be surprised.

It's not that I'm scared, It's the surprise that gets me every time. :x

Ah, the oldies movies. I honestly tried to watch Bram Stoker's Dracula. i just couldn't keep watching. I just didn't like it. I know it's a classic and almost everybody should see it, but I just couldn't watch it.

Alien was a great movie, and so was Predator.

I was raised on horror flicks like it was mother's milk!
Among my favorites are:

Cthulhu
Re-Animator
The Thing (Carpenter version)
Angel Heart
The Hitcher (Original)
Alien
The Beast Within

There are most certainly others.

Now that I think about it, there are actually 2 films which really made me jump: The Fog & 100 Feet. The films I'd listed before were just gory; these two are scary.

I'm mostly into supernatural horror films with ghosts and undead beings. Some of my all-time favorites are Night of the Living Dead, The Blair Witch Project, Ju-On 1 & Ju-On 2, The Ring, and The Others.

I don't really like slasher films because I think they're all stupid, though I liked Bride of Chucky because it was a good parody of it's own franchise (the Child's Play films).

I sometimes go for movies that normal people would retch to, movies like Irreversible, Slaughtered Vomit Dolls, the Japanese slashcore film Blood & Flowers, the Japanese-Russian films about WW2 Japanese Unit 431, etc. There's gory and there's ridiculous. These films are ridiculous.


Have seen all these too, Japan makes the best ridiculous slasher flicks. Not scary in the least, but still entertaining.

The scariest film I've seen would be the first Poltergeist movie. It has this intense and creepy atmosphere, I remember being terrified after watching it as a kid.
It shouldn't be scary, but the atmosphere... Just makes my skin crawl.

The only recent film that has terrified me would be Paranormal Activity (not the second one, which was pure garbage).
I liked Blair Witch as well, I saw that as a kid and of course thought it was real. I love realistic horrors, especially ones filmed with a hand held cam.

I don't really know if this one is regarded as horror, or horror/action, but Battle Royale was a fantastic film.
