What a great thread idea! Unfortunately, I don't watch scary movies. But I can't wait to see the rest of this discussion. 

Hmm... hard to decide...

 

Bram Stoker's Dracula

 

Toss up between Candyman and Pet Cemetery >.>

 

Pet Cemetery was really scary.

 

The Exorcist; Rosemary's Baby; The Changeling (with George C. Scott 1980); When a Stranger Calls.

I don't watch scary movies nowdays but Silence of the Lambs was good when I saw it.

WE HAVE A WINNER FOLKS!!!!!!

I don't really find any horror films scary but I like them because they are dark and deal with conscious and subconscious fears. The only one that ever gave me the chills was Nosferatu and partly because there is no sound. Some of the ones I like the most are:

 

Nosferatu (1922)

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) - amazing acting and effects in this one.

Night of the Living Dead (1968) - it was a bit eerie, definitely one of things that showcase how you can do so much more with so very little effects

The Omen (1976) - liked it more as a psychological thriller

Alien (1979) - great sense of mystery (in the beginning) and suspense

The Thing (1982) - a bit haunting because of the sense of isolation and paranoia
Fright Night (1985) - I liked how it was sort of tongue in cheek and the effects were great for the time too.

Interview with the Vampire (1994) - it was more of a gothic, artistic film than a horror film but apparently it's classified as horror

The Babadook (2014) - I like how the monster is Nosferatu-esque and the plot is pretty smart and psychological. Another example of being able to do alot with not much of a budget or effects

 

If I had to choose just one as the best I would go with Nosferatu.

I remember seeing When a Stranger Calls as a kid. That was a great movie!

I still need to watch The Babadook. Heard good things about it. I also need to watch "The Thing". I actually watched the more current prequel of it from 2011. So I really need to watch the movie from the 80's as well.

 

Also ftr, I find horror movies more amusing than scary, but the ones I mentioned are ones I watched as a kid and got really freaked out about. Nowadays I'd prolly react to them differently lol

Honestly? After seeing the Scary Movie parody with the exorcist part of it? I can't watch the exorcist and take it very seriously  LOL   I just mentally always go back to the scene of them all throwing up on each other >.>

Alien, Aliens and Event Horizon. 

Alien, Aliens and Event Horizon. 

 

Ohh, I haven't seen Alien yet but I plan to.

There's just something about little kids in horror movies that freak me out. Not a huge fan of dolls and manikins coming to life >.>

The original Exorcist when it came out was freaking scary.  Still one of the absolute best scary movies ever.

The Babadook

Alien

Suspiria - that set design is out of control!

Silence of the Lambs

 

Cabin in the Woods

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil

 

 

I really want to see The Witch and It Follows.

Okay, people keep mentioning the babadook. So now I feel like peer pressured to watch it >.>

So you don't like Chucky and Jaws?

Well I'd say the point of horror movies is to have stuff in it that you fear. 

I want to see "Cojuring 2."

I don't watch horror movies either, however I would sneak downstairs when I was a kid and watch my dad watching them. I always got caught cause I always had a nightmare. 0.0

Has anyone seen It? I think I may watch it soon.

I wanted to go this weekend but we have a group camping trip planned.
