My favorites (and there are MANY

):

The Changeling- Scares the **** out of me every time. The best ghost story ever made.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (old and new)- The old one is one of the scariest flicks ever, but I dig the remake, too, even though it's far from scary.
Burnt Offerings- The ending is horrifying!!
It's Alive- That baby freaks the hell out of me.
The Shining- The last hour is unbelievable. And that scene with the man in the dog suit, my word.
Session 9- Probably the scariest movie made in the past decade, don't watch it alone! It was shot in a mental hospital miles away from me and that makes it even freakier.
The Hills Have Eyes- Wes Craven used to make good movies and this is his best. Very unsettling and creepy.
It- I know it's only Tim Curry, but it still makes me pee myself.
Society- Must be seen to be believed. A strong stomach is required for the last fifteen minutes, though, because I almost lost my dinner. Make sure you see the unrated version because the R rated one is horrid and makes no sense.
Poltergeist- One of my all-time favorites. I just love everything about it.
Hellraiser- Forget the sequels, this one is scary.
Dawn of the Dead- One of the best horror flicks ever made.

I'm sure I'll think of more!

That's weird, I don't really like horror movies (gore without suspense and plot) but I do kinda like the nightmare on elm street ones...
Let's see, i don't often see horror movies, but the ones i remember liking ok are Candyman, and ....The Prophesy...Evil Dead (?) was funny...oh, Burnt offerings, Bette Davis was in it, so i haveta like it

My favorite creepy weird movie is The Little Girl Who Lived Down the Lane, though of course it's not really a horror movie, is it? Damn!

Want to see a horror movie? Rent "Exit To Eden." Rosie O'Donnell and Dan Aykroyd in bondage gear.

Don't forget "Watcher In the Woods." I've loved that since I was five. Now that you have a DVD player, get the DVD because it has two AWESOME alternate endings!!

She couldn't act herself out of a paper bag.

Pumpkinhead is another good flick.

And Near Dark! That's the BEST vampire movie ever made! It's practically poetic.

omigod, you just quoted Bette Davis about Joan Crawford in "Bette and Joan" "she couldn't act her way out of a paper bag!" But anyway, i don't think JLo is such a bad actress, however, I do think she is bad at picking scripts, and that is a tragedy. But, I think The Hunter (?) with Bowie, Deneuve, and Sarandon is the best vampire flick ever...Never seen Punkinhead, I actually don't really care for horror movies, but, i do like movies...

The Hunted is fabulous, but Near Dark is even better. I highly recommend it, you're sure to love it.

Requiem For A Dream's scary (and depressing!) as hell, but it's not really a horror film. And for a double whammy, you can read the book! Yay!
The Ring was more creepy than scary (there's a difference).
Signs scared the hell out of me, but once again - more creepy than scary. I was all afraid to look at TVs that were turned off & under doors

But then again, anything involving aliens tends to do so. I still can't watch ET to this day. Friggin bathroom scene -_-.

Um. I think that's it. I'm pretty much a wuss when it comes to horror movies. I try to avoid them at all costs. I'm able to watch Jason, Freddy, etc, movies now, though. +10 for me, even if they're hella lame. They just don't scare me anymore. But I'm still afraid of ET.

Sorry, the Hunted. But who's in Near Dark? I mainly watch movies for the cast, and the acting, if there is someone i don't like, i'm less likely to watch it, plot be damned!

Man, I'm a wuss.

And, by the way, i didn't think exorcist was scary. I thought it was gross, though, which, i guess, is a form of scary? I mean, the devil? Come on...
