Do you like the remake? Tom Welling is a babe but the original is a classic!

Adrienne Barbeau's name was 'Stevie' in the movie!

I've made an illustrated, revised list (see link above).

I also notate those which are available for instant viewing on Netflix.

I'm watching THE CRAZIES right now. I think it's silly.
But the carwash scene was pretty good.

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Fright Night! Roddy McDowall was gold in that.

Other films that still scare me...

Aliens
30 Days of Night
The Wicker Man (the original with Christopher Lee)
28 Days Later
The Omega Man
The Descent
Cube
Rosemary's Baby
The Fly
Lady In White
The Shining

Lady in White scared the crap outta me when I was younger.

I think the original Fright Night is so much fun... There was no reason to remake it really. I don't know what to think about it. I'm sure I'll see it anyway.

Carrie was extremely creepy. I love horror flicks!!

I am in love with the Saw series. The pshycological thriller thing appeals to me. It's a really well thought out story line, & unless you watch it front to back, you wouldn't understand it. It's complex and amazing. Kinda disturbs me though that someone in society came up with this & wrote it.

I can watch Saw but not Hostel though - it goes a little too far.

I'm not sure any of these are true horror, but I love them nonetheless:

The Skeleton Key
The Mothman Prophecies
The Others
Jurassic Park
Christine (the book is sooo much better!!)

Oh! And if you click the link in my signature, you can view the trailer for the (horror) movie I most anticipate seeing this year! Joseph Kahn's DETENTION!

I'm not a big horror movie fan. So here's a couple maybe:

1/Halloween the 1st 78 version best!!
2/ The Haunting original version b & w with Julie Harris --very suspenseful
3/ Shadow of a Doubt--b & w Hitchcock older movie--no blood or anything but suspeneful again.
4/ Psycho ** like suspense more than blood & guts really. Thats just me but theres nothing wrong with that. I heard of alot of these movies like The Fog/etc but just never have sat down to watch them. I like movies but I'm not really a big movie person.

Yes. I bought it on DVD and it doesn't live up to the original. It has its moments and it's a great throwback to the era. Worth a few watches at least.

I'm a sucker for cheesy 80's slasher films. Especially the low-budget, relatively unknown ones - The House On Sorrority Row, Mirror Mirror, My Bloody Valentine, The Funhouse, Sleepaway Camp, Happy Birthday To, The Burning Me etc. But in terms of seriously scary films that I love, I think the "Alien" series is pretty spot on. It's been a LONG time since a film actually scared me, but the suspense in Alien and the jumps in Aliens get me every time. Also a big fan of the "Nightmare On Elm Street" and "Halloween" films, but who isn't? .

I prefer the classics, but recent horror flicks worthy of a mention include Wolf Creek, Creep and The Hills Have Eyes remake. Very few people make decent scary movies anymore.
