I don't know if it is a horror movie but Alien scared the bajesus out of me....

From the point of view of cinematic technque "Alien" has all the marbles, but there's one scene in "Alien 3" which I walk away from every time. It's the one in which the guy sticks his head into the opening of a side shaft. That's the ticket!! :shock:

Back in the day it was. Still a classic, but doesn't make the hair on the back of my neck stand up without that little blue pill. :wink:

Here are a few more which I forgot to mention,

The Invisible Man (1933) Directed by James Whale who also did both Frankenstein and it's superior sequel the Bride of Frankenstein. This was Claude Rains first American film and he did a outstanding job as the Invisible Man. This movie also featured Gloria Stuart from Titanic, who just passed away last year.

Dr Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (1932) Starring Fredric March, this was the only horror film, where the lead actor won the best actor oscar for that year.

Phantom Of The Opera (1941) Universal's Technicolor remake of Lon Chaney's classic with Claude Rains. One of their best, ever!

Son Of Dracula (1942) Lon Chaney Jr. did a great job as Count Alucard or is that ,Dracula ? Anyway, another one of Universal's classics.

Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) Although not technically a horror film, it was a great send off to the classic Universal Monsters and was only the 2nd time that Bela Lugosi actually played Dracula.

I bet you were a John Zacherle person too :!: :wink:

Santa's Slay.

One of those terrible horror movies that's still watchable. In one scene, Santa burns down a strip club.

Trick R Treat.

Really, really, really awful movie. It's overdone and has 4 plots going at once. A bus full of special ed kids goes over a cliff into a flooded quarry and they come back as zombies 30 or 40 years later. You do the math, it's a $@!&#* movie.

I used to watch the local chiller theater in the 80's when I was about 11 years old. They played a movie a couple times where a rich man has a painting on the staircase. He goes by several times noticing the painting is changing. At the end there's a tombstone next to a six foot hole. The guy loses it. End of movie, from what I can remember. Schariest thing I ever saw..especially as a kid.

Does anyone know the name of this movie? It looked to be made in the 60's I'd love to see it again.

I also have to throw in 2005's "King Kong". That bug scene seriously creeps me out. Great movie.

"The Picture of Dorian Gray" concerns itself with a man who does not age, but his portrait
does.

I forgot about Human Centipede/Human Centipede 2.

And another one. A Serbian Film. DO NOT WATCH THIS IF YOU'RE EASILY GROSSED OUT! My brother isn't easily grossed out and he threw up in the middle of it. (Specifically, the part with the baby, for those who have seen it)

Although it didn't do very well at the box office, I did enjoy the remake of the Wolfman with Benecio Del Toro and Anthony Hopkins, although they could've done away with the part of the storyline of having Hopkins as the werewolf who infected Del Toro. I felt that was taking away from the original classic with Lon Chaney . Rick Baker however, did do a great makeup job which was very faithful to Jack Pierce's original .

Recall that in the original, Talbot was infected by Maliva's son, the gypsy Bela. The locale in the remake needed a different scenario. Change is common in remakes. Example, John Carpenter's 'The Thing' is more faithful to the short story "Who Goes There?' than the original classic in which the alien life form played by James Arness is NOT a shape shifter.
Harder to do that sort of thing in those days from a special effects standpoint than now.

The Exorcist was the most freaky horror film I saw. Then after finding out it was based on a true story made it that much worse.

The Manitou with Tony Curtis playing the lead role as a private investigator who gets involved in a fight with an evil ancient American Indian deity.There are a couple of scenes in that movie that I found even more chilling than the 360 head turn and the famous staircase scene that was cut from the theatre version and a lot of rental versions of the Exorcist.

Another brutally scarey movie is The Sentinal with Burgess Meredith playing one of the lead roles as an ecentric but charming resident of an old apartment building filled with very odd characters.As the movie progresses the fright factor is ramped up until the end which is enough to make you want to run and take refuge in a church.

The Exorcist III was amazing.
