http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057129/


Replusion
This one is a Roman Polanski classic from 1965, where Catherine Deneuve is driven mad and starts murdering people.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059646/


Tesis
Spanish movie about a woman investigating snuff films. It's pretty nasty stuff. Directed by Alejandro Amenabar, who went on to made The Others.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117883/


Dario Argento's Suspiria
Classic slice of Italian horror. I hear they're remaking this one.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076786/


Ringu, Ringu 2 and Ringu 0
This is the original Japanese version of The Ring, possibly the scariest movie ever made. The remake (with Naomi Watts) doesn't even compare. The sequel and prequel are also good but not quite as terrifying.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0178868/


Audition
Another scary Japanese film with possibly one of the worst torture scenes I've ever seen in a movie.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0235198/


Ju-on (The Grudge)
I like Japanese horror films and I'm not ashamed.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364385/


Session 9
I've been plugging this one on the boards for ages! Go rent!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0261983/
You are so sweet. These sound great, though i don't like horror films. Honestly, judging from the anime I watch, I think maybe the japanese ones might be too much for me. Except Ringu...that sounds awesome! About Repulsion, that's weird, cause this morning i was just trying to remember the name of another Roman Polanski horror (well...maybe strange suspense) film he made with Isabelle Adjani (made in the 70's though, i believe) but, I don't think I can watch him in any more films, unless he's waaaay better than he was in that one
I hope that version of the Haunting is good, but I wouldn't see the other one especially because I love the story by Shirley Jackson so much (Haunting of Hill House). You know, book to movie disappointment? but maybe i'll look into it....
Don't know if I can watch the one about lady investigating snuff (can you tell i'm a big baby?) but Suspiria is probably great! I'll look for that one...
and since you've been advertising Session 9, and i've never heard of it, i'll have to look into it I imagine that non American made horror probably has, for me, a leg up...
ooooo, i'd forgotten one that I like!
Possession, with Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neil was freaky!
Anyway, thanks, you are lovely...

I used to be a huge horror movie freak, but lately they just plain scare me too much. Guess I've gotten to be a wuss in my old age. Here are a few of my favorites:

Psycho
The Birds
The Exorcist
The Shining
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
Carrie

I know there are many others, but those are my top ones anyway. And The Ring is what stopped me from watching horror movies anymore. I don't know why, but that movie scared the holy crap outta me!

I'm so bored at work so.....

My favorites:

Night of the Living Dead - my absolute favorite. i WILL make it to Evans City, PA cemetery one of these days. when i'm alive, that is.......or when i'm undead. haha...no, it's not great for its dialogue but Romero's documentary style is classic. And that Mrs. Cooper's screaming when she gets it with the trowel is unforgetable.

Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things - a sort of cheesy, early '70s hippie ripoff of the above with an annoying lead character that makes you appreciate the living dead's revenge at the end. if anyone has seen it here, that gypsy lady kills me.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre - the original. i'm sorry, but would you have picked up that nasty hitchhiker?

Evil Dead - the first one. but what stupid girl, who hears "join us" voices from the woods, goes outside in her underwear in the woods to find out who it is????

When a Stranger Calls - The really best part is the beginning with the babysitter....however, i get chills when Jill and her husband are at the restaurant and she gets the call again.

that's it for now..... have a quick meeting. will post more later.....

I'm with you... I didn't find the exorcist at all scary

THE EXORCIST SUCKS, this is the worst movie i have ever seen.

GOLDEN BRAID- Terror train was just released on DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its very hard to find, but its now possible to get it.

Im with you TRACKAGHOST- Halloweens kick ass. Even though the original is good, i suggest Halloweens 4 and 5. I find them to be the best of the series.

I wanna see when a stranger calls. Ive seen it around but never took interest. I must look into that one!

Halloween 4 was okay, but 5 was pure ****. It made absolutely no sense, especially the ending. Halloween 6 is good, but only if you get the Producer's Cut bootleg. The version that they released to theaters was edited so much that it was unwatchable; the bootleg explains a lot of things.

Personally, I only like the first one and the second one. The rest stink.

Plz. It's SO OBVIOUS. I haven't even seen the movie before and I figured it out. Lame.

I' m a coward with horror movies, when I try to watch them at home usually I finish keeping a pillow on my face and repeating no...no...no.. (fascinating, I know ).

So based on my very scarce experience:

Tesis- great movie, but it scared me only in the first part, then I was hooked by the plot

Society - (only 5 minutes... the wrong ones) Totally disgusting... and some people even paid to see it...

Ringu - Beautiful, the scariest film I've ever seen. My favorite in the genre

Profondo Rosso- Dario Argento's masterpiece.

The Call - full of clichés but with some good ghost scenes.

Les Rivières pourpres - Small French colleges can be terrifying places as well

The Fury - Poor Kirk Douglas...

The Hitcher - The scene where the girl dies every now and then returns in my nightmares...

Isn't that movie sick? Yet oddly fascinating.

Exclamation Easy...

watching the 2003-2004 Fleetwood Mac shows (While burning 'em to DVD), I had a nightmare about 'em last night due to the transfers I have completed the past few days, Man talk about "Deja Vu all over again"

Actually, I don't have a favorite horror movie, though I do like "Halloween 3-Season Of The Witch" & the "Silver Shamrock" song
