In honor of Halloween, what is your favorite horror movie?

Mine is "Halloween"! I love the creepy music for some reason. Nothing will top that movie. I dressed up as Michael Myers for Halloween last year. That mask scares the crap out of people!

I also love Child's Play (Chucky), the Scream trilogy, The Birds, I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Hand that Rocks the Craddle. I have a bunch actually! I just love scary movies! I really hate Psycho for some reason. I've never been able to sit through it all the way.

Generally I dont like scary movies, because they sit on my mind. I dwell on them, cant sleep at night, that sort of nonsense. Probably the one that scares me the most is the original B&W 'Night of the Living Dead'. *shudder*

Das Boot.

Honestly, that movie is do damn agonizingly tense, claustrophobic, and emotionally draining I haven't watched the whole thing in five years.

As for an actual horror movie? Probably Alien. That movie can still freak me out something bad. I just have a thing for movies that take in small, wet, dark places.

The Silence of the Lambs - hands down - it puts the lotion on its skin

Lesser would include:

The Exorcist - THIS SOW IS MINE
The Shining - freaky shiitte (better book IMO)
Nosferatu - very close to the top and it was done in 1922

also

Jacob's Ladder

The Exorcist, most definitely. It's one of the only horror movies that can still truly creep me out if I get into it.

Black Christmas! I think that is what it's called.

Or the one that was made in the 1970's about the group that kills a girl in the woods and then the parents of that girl end up killing them! What is that called! I remember a scene where the mom gives the man a blowjob and bites his c*ck off!... :OUCH:

I also like Saw

and House of 1000 corpses.

Well....The Exorcist is scary ****. So is The Shining, but not to extent of the Exorcist. Then there is The Day After, for its creepy depressingness. God I hate that movie.

I HATE scary movies. They bore the hell out of me. I don't get into movies much, though. However, The Exorcist isn't bad at all.

oh ya! on edit.

I remember seeing Texas Chainsaw Massacre in the theater. I was small. Scared the **** out of me!

I can't stand those movies. They aren't scary in the least IMO.

Great one. I agree and I just added it to my list before I read your post. This film scares the crap out of me. Everything about it. The camera angles, the killers POV, the setting, the phone calls...

I liked it better than Halloween and Black Christmas really was the film that started the whole hack and slash genre.
