[seal!]

Can anybody recomend any good horror films, iv got to the point now where im just laughin all the way through them please help me. i dont want to be so scared that something unfortunate happens in my trousers but id like to actually enjoy the film.

My favourites are 'Dead Of Night', 'The Haunting' (the original not the pants re-make!) and 'Night Of The Demon'. All are 1950's, or older, black and white, no gore, no swearing, but genuninly spooky! Check out 'Dead Of Night' - "Wouldn't I?....wouldn't I?...", 'The Haunting' - "Who was holding my hand?" and 'Night Of The Demon' - "I told him not to go through the woods ..." and see what I mean!

Lord you have to see Darkness Falls, one of THE scariest films I've seen in a long time. I too LOVE scary films but have been really disappointed by some of the lastest one (uh hello, wrong turn). DF however even had my tough ex admitting it was scary.

The most creapy and frightening film I have ever seen is the original, Texas chainsaw massacre, (NOT the lame modern remake) Strong stomach and nerves required!

I seen candyman at the flicks and the sound made it scary but i don't think it would be the same on dvd? I also like the freaky alien bit in signs when the tv pics shows the glimpse of the alien at the kids party! Joaqim phoenix was good when he freaked out!

I can recommend Pet Semetary (sic) - was on 5 over half term. It's so bad it's hilarious.

The only film that really ever gave me the creeps was "The Others". Quite a good story too though

Try The Shining if you haven't already seen it. I wouldn't normally recommend a Stephen King book/film or whatever else to anyone, but Jack Nicholson is simply brilliant in this movie. Failing that, Bambi ;o)

Oooh the Shining - how could i have forgotten that - easilt the best one EVER!!

I suffer from a similar love of horror films and am constantly disappointed by the formulaic Hollywood output. However, one which never fails to chill is Nicholas Roeg's 'Don't Look Now', based on a short story by Daphne DeMaurier. It isn't a horror film really, more of a supernatural thriller, but it is an intelligent beautiful film which is also very scary.

'The Eye' is a great horror flick. A storyline thats is so simple yet at the same time disturbing it scary when you actually realise how close it can be to reality.

or for a laugh try 'It' should have been called 'S****'

The Ring

The scariest film ever was "It conquered the world" (c. 1950something). "It" was an alien which looked like a deformed carrot/Mr Blobby with fangs; "conquered" meant "attempted to take over but didn't succeed", and "the world" meant a small village in middle America. The method of "conquering" the "world" was to send out bats to bite the sherriff and his wife, one or two other local noteables (and their wives) which turned them into obedient communistish stooges.

'Event Horizon' is bloody scary. I was out with some friends of friends recently and we started talking about scary films - out of 18 people at the table, six of us thought that it was the scariest film we'd ever seen! I also love 'The Shining' and, sorry to be an anorak here, but the Region 1 Remastered DVD is really worth getting hold of if you haven't already - it's an extended cut & has some brilliant extra bits about the history of Jack in the Hotel

These aren't scary; you want to see the Sound of Music.

The Wicker Man is great, very creepy and the soundtrack is class in a folky sort of way.

[gerry]

Salems Lot is a pretty good movie,Halloween is also not a bad movie although i would say Halloween 2 is better.I wouldn't bother with The Ring (at least the Japanese original version) i thought the movie was utter rubbish & even at the end of the movie i was still waiting to be scared.
