    Must root out Dog Soldiers again, have the DVD sitting at home but haven't watched it in years.

    All I can think of now is sci-fi scary. Damn.

    Oh, 30 Days of Night is quite good. When I first saw it I loved it, but on a 3rd viewing I'm not toooo sure. Vampires descend on an Alaskan town that has a whole month of night. Pretty cool.

    The Evil Dead, Evil Dead II and Evil Dead III: Army of Darkness are essential. Especially the first two.

    EDIT: Another I loved was The Devil's Rejects.

    EDIT II: Braindead.

    Arachnophobia too, if you're scared of spiders...

    Sorry, missed this post earlier. :o

    Excellent point Jako!

    Now my mind is shifted into cabin/woods/scary mode. With the amount of brainwrecking I'm doing here, ugh, I'd nearly be quicker writing the horror movie.

    Friday 13th
    Nightmare on Elmstreet
    Halloween
    IT

    pretty standard four above.

    I think you'll find you're stomping on my turf now Orizio :cool:

    We accepted Cloverfield? Gah!? That'll surely be the first kicked off the island.

    If we indulge in sci-fi horror then we're going to end up rehashing everything when we do a sci-fi thread (myself and Links are waiting in the wings for that one! :D )

    Loved the mist and the thing was a classic, but the strangers? I thought that was really bad :o

    did you hear about the new the thing?

    No! Why do they insist on remaking every decent film?

    I found The Strangers quite disturbing really. Was quite scared whereas usually I'm more in 'shoot it in the face! :D' mode when I watch horror films.

    You're not missing out on anything by not having seen it. Maybe just make everything else on the list a preference first? :P

    I tell you, watch the Pandemic double episode of South Park and you just won't be able to take Cloverfield seriously.

    Let's leave it in, for now, and see how it fairs in the vote?


    Here are a few oldies, yet remain a constant source of entertainment.

    Jaws - you may laugh now, but I seen this movie when it was first released! Kept me outta the ocean for years!
    Alien
    The Haunting - 1960's version
    28 Days Later
    Saw
    Hellraiser
    The Howling
    The Shining

    The Grudge - is that a remake of an Asian horror movie?
    Just reading about it, and I know I've seen this before, but not in English.

    The Shining is easily one of the best horror films ever made!

    Forgive my impudence, but I believe someone else suggested The Grudge, and upon flexing the power of Google, have found this result: Ju-on.

    oh yeah, that's the one I mean

    I automatically think of the original ones when people mention movies though. generally speaking, original > remake.

    I have not seen The Grudge, but was spell bound by Ju-on!
    Glued to the seat, couldn't turn away - freaked me out of my skin!
    Bless these creepy Japanese masterpieces.

    I have managed to arrange a double-bill of movie pleasure, for tonight!

    Dog Soldiers & Cronos.

    The brandy has been placed in the fridge, suitable snacks have been purchased, and all concerned have been informed of my booking the sitting room from 10pm!

    :)

    Not wishing to call into question your reasoning, but I'm interested to hear how these would be classified in the "Horror" genre?

    Omega Man is based on I Am Legend by Richard Matheson and Pathfinder just has some seriously disturbing imagery in it.

    This seems genuinely quite good Fewcifur, but you'll never get anywhere casting these South Dubliners with their god awful American accents. ;)

    Some bits later on are hilarious because of it! I found myself in a house with two girls and said "Why don't we make a movie?" ... I probably regret settling for a horror movie :p

    BTW, I think you should sue John Boorman, he quite clearly stole the idea for Deliverance from your short movie.

    The basics perhaps, but he had a completely different setting, characters, bad guys, setup, budget... so, I'll probably let him away with it :D
