    Mine are:

    Best Story: Orphanage ( spanish ), Shutter (thai)

    Most dreadful: Grudge 1 and 2 ( 3 is Rubbish)

    The most horrifying scene was the ghsot sitting on the neck in shutter....damn...great imagination
    1. Deray28
      I agree with you on the Orphanage, great story!

      The most horrifying for me is "the exorcist", I only watched complete once, at the premier of the re-mastered version. I will never watch again, unless I'm under coercion.
    2. Theresa111
      Delray28 I am right there with you on this one This movie made me sleep with the lights on for about six months.
  2. sulavmetal
    Ya thats Right

    and exorcism of emily rose...
    its real horror...
    I dont prefer japanese movies, they're rather funny
    1. snoodle
      Yeah agree with exorcist (the old version). After watching that (i was about 11 years old) i couldnt sleep half a year and my psychologist helped me lol
  3. sulavmetal
    Exorcist hm that was horror of the century.
    the spider walk scene
    1. crazyTsu

  5. sulavmetal
    I have watched all 3 version but not of them were as good.
  6. stayfitbug
    The Ring...that freaked me out
    1. greencurmudgeon
      It has to be the original Japanese version. The American remake was terrible.
    2. lostrose160
      Yeah Right... It seems Ring rulz Blogcatalog
  7. stayfitbug
    Yea. It (the clown) and Childs Play (chucky)
    1. imageofpurity
      i agreed with it(steven spielberg) the best horror movie..
    2. crazyTsu
      ABSOLUTELY FREAKY
      But then so many parts came out, that even the movie started getting bored with itself due to predictability. I watched the second part first and it was full of unspeakable mayhem
  8. Rozie818
    This wasn't a horror movie, but a thriller of the mind that I found disturbing.
    The Machinist w/ Christian Bale

    www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0fuHY4U1UA&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.toptenz.net%2Ftop...
    1. lostrose160
      Are u taking about saw?
      I searched the imdb and it has listed it as horror
      Yes Ring was...good horror..

      The way the ghost walks...chilling
    2. lostrose160
      Machinist... Its a Psycho movie
      thrilled me alright
    3. LaurenM622
      the machinist was definitely disturbing... christian bale's transformation just gave me chills...

      i'm more terrified by the SAW movies... i can't sleep for days after seeing them (i'm kind of a wimp...)
  9. cathy13
    The Mothman Prophecies
    More of a thriller although listed as horror too!
    I will never watch it again!
    I had to sleep with the lights on even with Rory in the bed.
    1. Stillthinking
      What? Not scared at all...
    2. cathy13
      really? It chilled me out of my skin!

      HEY! Aren't you supposed to be studying?
    3. Stillthinking
      It's Sunday! The day of rest?
    4. Sam1982
      Based on the true goings on at point pleasant - freaked the hell out of me at the time too, especially researching the story after seeing the movie
    5. LaurenM622
      oh man... mothman prophecies... terrifying. especially since my friends called me babysitting the night after we saw it in the theater and rewound a tape into the phone trying to convince me that the mothman was calling. i was so mad and ridiculously scared.
  10. greencurmudgeon
    I'm having difficulty thinking of the last horror film that really scared me. Reading the book of "The Exorcist" made me sick to my stomach, however.
  11. Stillthinking
    Scariest Horror Movie: The Haunting (in black and white). It's all psychological and really frightening.

    Worst Horror Movie: The Haunting (the remake). Say cheese.
    1. greencurmudgeon
      Ah, now you've made me remember the most chilling moment I've had in a film...there was a film called "Sorry, Wrong Number" with Burt Lancaster and Barbara Stanwyck. The latter plays an heiress who is piecing together a plot to kill her. Just as she figures it out, she cuts out on a phone conversation...one knows she's dead, and then a voice says, "Sorry, wrong number".
    2. Stillthinking
      Excellent. I like a good scare. Added to Netflix...
  12. aningeniousname
    For me it has to be Polanski's repulsion that is a very unsettling film to watch.
    1. lostrose160
      Can you give me more info abt movie... the name itself looks scary
  13. sulavmetal
    What about the thai horror "alone" ?
    One of the best concept for a horror movie.
    One of the two twins die and the story begins.....
  14. hatingtherain
    I hate horror movies.

    I'm not sure if Jacob's Ladder is considered horror, but I only watched it once, and it creeped me out so bad, I'll never watch it again.

    The Shining, classic horror is all there is. Modern horror is all but dead.
    1. lostrose160
      Is it the movie with the Violin scene???
  18. sulavmetal
    I watched trailers of some korean horror movie.........
    "Into the mirror" and "Red Shoes". The trailer was awesome.
  19. DeadRooster
    I still say Jaws is the scariest movie ever made. I probably think that because at the time I first saw it, I was a surfing junkie going out in the ocean every day.

    I thought The Ring (American version) was pretty frightening. Never saw the Japanese version, but if it's scarier than the American version I think I'll enjoy wearing unsoiled underwear and just stay away from it.
    1. lostrose160
      Yes jap one is frighteneting...hehehe can keep away
  20. sulavmetal
    Better watch it........Its scaring than american version
  21. jkkh68

  32. chrissred
    Among all the chilliest, I'd say that would be "The Exorcist" starring Linda Blair!
  33. kdawg68
    I'm old school - for me it's always been the original Alien.

    I realize it's lost it's luster by virtue of being 30-years-old now, but how many other horror movies still register as "effective" after such a period of time? Especially those that are "creature features" (as they are prone to having special effects that look seriously outdated).

    My basis for this is several fold:

    1.) It's the only "creature feature" that has withstood the "test of time"

    2.) It's beauty is that it's a psychologically disturbing thriller - i.e., it's more than just "scary monster" - it's really about sexual assault and rape - and done so in a way that makes even "manly men" feel vulnerable.

    3.) It was sneaky in terms of originality. Really it's just the old "haunted house" flick, only the house is a space ship and the "ghost" is a slimy alien, but folks barely pick up on that.

    4.) the real genius that Ridley Scott displayed was in barely showing the creature. Why? Because we're more afraid of what we don't see than we are of what we do see. It's the power of the imagination.

    5.) I hate movies that try to explain everything. Alien left soooo much open to interpretation (again, allowing your imagination to run wild). The best example of this is the "jockey" species that sends out the initial distress call picked up by the Nostromo crew. They aren't the same species as the "aliens" - and they never explain who they are or how they got there. It's all just part of the mystery (and yes, I know that many have theorized their origins, but for the sake of the movie they were left a mystery).

    6.) The film has been loosely copied so many times over the years, yet all of the copies fail to come close to the shock value of the original.

    Sadly, the scenes I feel were most effective were actually cut from the original theatrical release.

    - Here's one where Ripley finds Capt. Dallas (T.Skerrit) and Brett "cocooned" in the alien's lair. They cut this scene because R. Scott thought it took too long, but it might be the creepiest they shot. Note that James Cameron knew about this scene when he made the sequel, Aliens, in '86, and he ran with the idea (though tweaking it slightly):

    www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzmZiZaj81o

    And there's this slightly disturbing video, where the foreign distress signal is received and analyzed audibly. Not as cool as the above scene, but still, this adds to the mystery. Is that what the "jockey" species sounded like?

    1. Mattsuzaka
      Alien is a perfect film. I just watched it with my girlfriend who had never seen it before, and she was blown away. It holds up in every way, even after being over 30 years old!

      There is a prequel in the works, and Ridley Scott will be directing too! Very promising.

      I posted a bunch of artwork by H. R. Giger, who art inspired all of the Alien stuff in the Alien universe, and it is amazingly creepy art work to say the least. Not that I'm trying to plug or anything, but it's worth a look if your a fan of Alien! Or you could google Giger too.
    2. kdawg68
      I'll definitely check that out - and thanks for tipping me off to the "prequel" idea - I hadn't heard of that!
  34. prospor7
    i like horror film but some thing is much too horror for me.Thank you
  35. jkkh68
    Hey, I watched the latest version of Friday the 13th and also
    My Bloody Valentine (3D). Reeeally cool! I just love the suspense and the special effects. Anyone got any other even more chilling, and suspense movie to recommend?
  36. wagerwitch
    The only really scary thing I've read or seen was a scene from Stephen King's the Shining...

    It's the scene where the naked bloated woman in the bathtub rises and goes after the little boy.

    That haunted me for awhile.

    Movies - well - shock factor and imagination scare factor:

    The Ring
    Jaws

    A movie that bothered me - but wasn't HORROR - was about these people who got left behind on a scuba trip... and were stuck forever out in the water...

    It was awful - but not a horror...

    Dawn of the Dead

    The Exorcist

    Amityville Horror

    6th Sense

    Night of the Living Dead

    A couple of Vampire movies...

    and well - that's about it...
    1. Mattsuzaka
      Open Water is the film you are refering to!
  37. lostrose160
    Amityville Horror
    I heard was a real incident
    does anyone have any idea about it
  38. sulavmetal
    This thread is turning to be "most comedy 'horror' movies"
    I almost slept when I watched Amityville.....
  39. Mattsuzaka
    The original Amityville was very scary, the remake was the one that was very bad. "Catch 'em and kill 'em!" Really?

    I can always go with the classics, like Halloween, Texas Chainsaw, Hellraiser, The Thing, Videodrome...etc...there are just too many to name.

    I'll through out a few newer ones, that if you haven't seen, you should right away. Unless you're scared!!

    The Spanish film [REC] was one of the scariest movies I have seen in years, much better than the mediocre remake known as 'Quarantine'. Also, I saw that someone mentioned 'The Orphanage' - that's a great little horror film too.

    I would say any film out of the French new wave of horror is always one that will eff you up pretty good. 'High Tension' was as intense as it gets for the first 25 minutes or so. 'Inside' is as gory as it gets, and the subject matter is quite taboo, with some solid slasher moments that are very Carpenter inspired. Lastly, I would (kinda) recommend 'Martyrs'- while not being necessarily scary, Martyrs is one of the most disturbing films ever made. Period.

    And if you haven't seen the Vampire movie 'Let the Right One In' - then you need to right away. It is a masterpiece of modern horror cinema, and puts 'Twilight' to shame. Not that that is a hard thing to do.
    1. kdawg68
      The Thing - totally underappreciated movie. If you're into that, I highlly recommend the film analysis done by Rob Ager that (last I checked) is still available on youtube.

      Most folks question the ending of that film, and say they are disappointed the struggle remains "unresolved" - but Rob's take is that the film has telegraphed exactly what happens as the camera fades away.

      How?

      In the opening of the film, we see Kurt Russell's character (McReady), playing chess on the computer. The A.I. puts him in a "check mate" position, and he responds by taking the whiskey he is drinking and pouring it into the hard drive of the P.C. - causing a short circuit.

      Fast forward to the end of the film. Childs returns and he and McReady go through the whole "how do I know you're not it?" discussion. We know McReady isn't a thing, but we suspect Childs is. With the camp on fire, McReady is thus once again in a "checkmate" position.

      How does he respond? The final shots of the film are of McReady laughing, and then handing the whiskey bottle to childs - a metaphor for when he poured the whiskey into the computer in the opening scene.

      Might we reasonably assume that in the following seconds, he fried Childs with the flame thrower?

      Great flick.

    I have not seen exorcist..
    The house on the hill: had some terrifying moments
    Raaz (Hindi): One scene in particular - I KNEW the ghost would appear in the mirror and I found myself BEGGING NO NO NOOOOOO - I was totally freaked out.. and it teased and teased and finally struck when I could hold my breath no longer
    But much worse was "Bhoot" (Hindi): I get raised hairs even thinking of the first sighting of the ghost, which also teased like the above, and the sight of a man's neck coiled up and facing backwards
    Storyline? I will come back when I think of the one
  41. lostrose160
    Raaz 1 was better
    raaz to Jakie shroff was the ghost tat was funny
    1. crazyTsu
      He should be man enough to admit he pissed in his pants
  42. JenniferWrites
    "Three... Extremes" (three short tales from Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea). Very chilling, but well-written.
    1. lostrose160
      thanx jenni I'd like to watch the movie
    2. Mattsuzaka
      I really liked Tree Extremes also. Some of the best filmmakers did segment for that anthology, namely Park Chan-wook, who might be the best filmmaker working period. I loved the Fruit Chan segment, Dumplings - it was so messed up and such a crazy concept! Good choice Jennifer!
    3. JenniferWrites
      Thanks, LostRose and Matt! LostRose, I hope you have a pretty strong stomach, as Dumplings is quite intense! Matt, have you seen Oldboy?
    4. Mattsuzaka
      I am a huge fan of Oldboy, and kudos to you Miss Jennifer for bringing it up! I actually consider the first part of the Vengeance trilogy, 'Sympathy For Mr Vengeance' to be one of may favorite movies, and it is a masterpiece that is so well thought out and gets better with every viewing. Though it is a little tough upon first viewings as I thought the movie was good the first time, but after seeing it 2 or 3 more times, you discover the brilliance of Mr Vengeance. I can't wait for PCW's newest, the Vampire movie 'Thirst'.
  43. AquilusDomini
    hmm...
    for best story: a tie between Poltergeist and The Exorcist
    for most dreadful/disturbing: it's a tie between Hostel (because that could actually happen somewhere) and The Shining (because some of the scenes in that movie were really freaky)
    1. lostrose160
      hi,
      poltergeist, they're here...
      is that the newer movie or does it have older version
  44. bettieblogger
    I really enjoyed "The 13th Ghost" with Tony Shaloub .. it's a real mindmesserupper
  45. lostrose160
    yes,
    horror that makes us think, chills out spines
  46. silentassasin
    blairwitch project
    for me..the makers of that film..are one of the pioneers of reality concepts..but it's not even real.
  47. maccasenior
    I have no favourites but Chucky, The Exorcist and Saw would have to be the worst!
    1. JenniferWrites
      Saw is definitely creepy. I almost forgot about that one!
  48. lotusb
    Haute Tension (High Tension)

    French indie film...very disturbing.
    1. lostrose160
      I started to love french movie after watching Orphanage
      One sentence was catching ' Seeing is not believing, its the otherway'
      hmmm made me think
  49. Shelives2write
    Mine has to be Pet Semetary I and II. One that scared me as a child (but now seems very cheesy) is Phantasm.
  50. Ysabetwordsmith
    "Rain Without Thunder"
  51. yourfindit
    All the Chucky movies were nerve wracking. Dolls always freaked me out.
  52. TLAnarchist
    Hello Dolly, Highschool Musical, Twilight (seriously, this movie sucks,) Hairspray, The Life of George W Bush (I got so scared I pissed myself,) and of course, Highscool musical 3 (so scary I puked.)
  53. acousticguitarist
    The Bush Administration featuring Dick Cheney
    1. TLAnarchist
      Plagerist.
    2. TLAnarchist
      DICK cheney, george BUSH and COLON powel were three scary people.
  54. jonyx
    I have a hard time thinking of one. I find that strange considering horror is my favorite genre. When I was much younger (7 ish?) I remember loving any zombie fest movie along with the evil dead series and any vampire movie. They did "spook" me but I could not get enough. It's hard to say I still find them as scary... when I re-watch those movies at my current age, while they are still enjoyable, they don't hold the same scare factor as in the past . And the horror movies today? Well, let's just say I don't know of any who managed to make anything truly scary

    I guess I'll give some tiny props up for Evil Dead, Night of living dead, Fright Night, Wheels of Terror, Dawn/Day of the Dead (originals), and uhh ya lol. There are plenty but can't recall all.
  55. DavidW
    Hannibal Rising
  56. lostrose160
    My horror list last century.

    1.The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

    2.Psycho (1960)

    3.The Exorcist (1973)

    how do ya like it. Does it need any addition
  57. lostrose160
    The Shining
    how cud I forget it
  58. Rivy
    "Carnival of Souls"

    a low budget black & white film that came out in the mid-60's. It is about Death. And the denial of death. Quiet. Thoughtful. And disturbing.
  59. lostrose160
    Hey rivy may be difficult to get that movie but
    i'm surely gonna search for it.
