All greats. Though think Halloween dated a bit, like all the 80s slashers. Of course, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was one of the originals in that genre, but retains an edge that was lost in the 80s formulaic efforts.

Black Christmas is my favourite Christmas film. My wife prefers It's a Wonderful Life...

Shur it's black and white, just give it subtitles and it wouldn't even exist.

Ah, didn't know that. I'll must give it a watch.

The Blair Witch Project

Definitely up there, despite all the derision. The final scene when they reach the cellar and you see Mike and suddenly you recall the earlier reference to what happened to the children...superb.

Up there with Ringu for best final scene. And one from the left field, Kill List, a very messed up film with some severe gore and an ending that just shocked.

Another great from recent English directors, Dead Mans Shoes.

Tuco88

The original changeling?

I saw it ages and ages ago, very atmospheric from what I remember. Of course it's much tamer than John Carpenter's version, the bloody defibrillator scene :eek::eek:

ShagNastii

I'd have to say Insidious.

I think it is the psychological nature of it. Any horror monsters/ghosts always seem a bit cartoony at time but demons n stuff:eek::eek::eek:

Xaracatz

Thirteen Ghosts.

It's on Netflix. I'd watch it again, except I'd like to sleep tonight.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Threads, back in the day - frightened the living **** out of me.

Also, Gattaca. If that didn't scare you, you weren't paying enough attention.

The Shining

You know it

Hmm, "The Strangers", "The Orphanage" (Spanish horror) and "Ils" which is called "Them" in English (French horror) are probably the scariest I've watched in a while. "The Woman in Black" is pretty good too.

super_furry

I love Clive Barker so Hellraiser 1 and 2 are right up there for me along with Nightbreed, which I think is a massive overlooked classic.

monkeysnapper

Years ago I watched 30 days of night in cinema , was really scary . Saw it again last year at home and yeh ... Pretty scary film .

Atoms for Peace

Anything from Michael Haneke is utterly unnerving.

Ulysses Gaze

Night of the Living Dead (in Black and White)
Dawn of the Dead (original one)
Day of the Dead
The Exorcist
Island of Lost Souls (1932)

valoren

Threads. A BBC docudrama about a nuclear exchange and the fallout from that based on Sheffield. Nothing is more frightening than reality sometimes.

theoldbreed

Halloween - it scared the bejaysus out of me when I was younger and sparked my interest for all things scary and well, Halloweeny.

Sinister- the only film to have genuinely creeped me out in a long time

bazz26

28 Days Later,
Dawn of the Dead (2004 remake),
It.

Sam Hain

Let the right one in
The vanishing
Both the original versions

Mike Guide 69

Not so much a post on best horror film but about a mockumentary that I think was aired in the early 90s,I think on BBC,does anyone remember “Ghostwatch” and the hysteria it created? Apparently it is still banned from been aired on the telly as viewers thought it was real and that an actual poltergeist was taking place live in front of the cameras ,Michael Aspel was presenting the programme

I thought a lot about including Funny Games...the original as opposed to the scene for scene remake, not that it was bad, just puzzling as to why he did it.

Still the coldest, rawest depiction of evil as matter of fact on film. The horror was not gore or shock but the opposite, how very mundane it is for the protagonists.

Sinister is a good shout. The tapes he watches back.....so so unnervingly creepy.

I haven't watched it but the 2014 Australian movie 'The Babadook' URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Babadook"]Wikipedia info[/URL was highly rated.

It got unanimous praise alright, but I'll never understand it. It was, in my opinion, a terrible, terrible film. Same with The Witch, I don't understand the acclaim at all.

Love the original wickerman, the original subtitled Japanese Ring gave me nightmares. If comedy horror is your thing, try dig up a film called 2000 maniacs. It was made in late 50s early sixties long before the slashers became the rigeur.

The 2011 version of The Thing was not a remake, it was a prequel.

No horror films scare me at all.
They either annoy me, or make me laugh, or both, these days

I saw Gremlins when I was 8 it must have been the last time a horror film scared me.

KungPao

Return of the Living Dead.



Wonderfully ridiculous and it invented the Braiiiiins braiiiiins thing for zombies.
