Film Halloween around the corner.. What's your fav scary movie.

[Sweet Square]

Can’t wait for the Suspiria remake. Think it’s out next month?

I’ve not actually seen the original.

I think it's November 2nd in the UK and streamable November 10th.


The original is well worth checking out for the visuals and sound which I think overall hurts the films as it's so beautiful that it's hard to find it scary.

In no order, these are some of my favs;

The Ring
Paranormal Activity
The Conjuring
The Omen
Poltergeist
Case 39
Skeleton Key
The Exorcist

Watched the Exorcist as a kid, messed me up so that's my scariest.

My favourite would probably be Sixth Sense. There's been so many cheesy movies following the same formula since, it's easy to forget how clever a film it is.

 

[The Don]

Which one? I didn't find the first few ones scary

1 & 2 I thought were quite good.

Yep. Childhood trauma. That's why it's on my list!

The Descent is also a fantastic film. Absolutely love that one.

Good call.

The original IT (but probably more because I was basically a child when I watched it)

An odd one that scared me was a movie called Jeepers Creepers. The first one.

The Ring was scary - but I watched it in the cine - so the sound definitely had an impact of unsettling me.

 

[Camy89]

The Descent. I remember that being bloody terrifying.

Realise someone has already said it but I hadn't read the full thread.

 

[One Night Only]

As already mentioned I remember The Descent being brilliant! Sets the tone well, very creepy.

Don't think it's been mentioned but Sinister I also found excellent, even though you know what is coming in the lawn mower scene it still puts the shits up you! So many creepy scenes tbh, it's made easier due to the creepy 8mm film they're always playing during it. I'm going to have to watch this again.

 

[DJ Jeff]

The Exorcist
It Follows
The Omen (not a particularly good script, but a killer soundtrack and performance from Peck)
Hereditary

 

[Synco]

Night Of The Living Dead (Still the best zombie movie ever made)

Saw that one recently, special atmosphere, and one of the least uplifting films imaginable.

 

[Welsh Wonder]

Quite like both V/H/S films and Trick 'r Treat too.

 

[Organic Potatoes]

Alien
Jaws
Donnie Darko (that feckin' rabbit...it just freaks me out...)

 

[SSSSnake]

The Grudge has to be up there for scare factor.

 

[Dirty Schwein]

Session 9... Creepy as hell

 

[Raees]

Scary movie 2.

This.

That was genuinely quite creepy until the reveal, then the film turned a bit crap.

 

[red4ever 79]

The Conjuring
Paranormal Activity (1st one)
Insidious
Poltergesit

 

[dumbo]

And then turned creepy again when you read about the director's past and then realised Coppola backed him in full knowledge of his crimes.

 

[jderbyshire]

The Exorcist
Scream
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Shining
The Blair Witch Project

Yeah that’s true. Lost all credibility/intensity in the build up with that.

 

[Hoof the ball]

Always love the Freddy movies. Those puns kill me! Especially...

"I Said, where's the fecking bourbon?!!"

 

[RedTillI'mDead]

The Notebook

Nothing is scary than that!

 

[SirAF]

I’m not really into horror movies but Paranormal Activity scared the fecking bejesus outta me!

 

[SSSSnake]

The Exorcist
It Follows
The Omen (not a particularly good script, but a killer soundtrack and performance from Peck)
Hereditary

It Follows was creepy as hell.

 

[DJ Jeff]

It Follows was creepy as hell.

Yep, great soundtrack, best I've heard in a horror movie in a long time. Lost its way a bit in the final third, as most horror does, but the first two acts are more than good enough.

 

[spwd]

Not my favourite but there’s a decent horror on the horror channel starting at 12.55 uk called Afflicted if anyone wants to check it out.

 

[Reddy Rederson]

Exorcist 3. Sets its mood, tone perfectly. And it has one of the creepiest scenes Ive ever seen.

 

[VorZakone]

The Burning (1981) is a nice horror flick from the 80s. Overall though, the horror genre has sooo many shit movies.

 

[Cnaiür urs Skiötha]

I really liked Sinister. Great atmosphere.

Also The Others, What lies beneath, Tale of 2 Sisters, Case 39, The Skeleton Key, The Woman in Black, Shutter Island, Deliver us from Evil, Room 1408, Identity and some others that have already been mentioned.

 

[Cnaiür urs Skiötha]

Oh and I got recommended Hereditary for this Halloween. Anybody watched it?

This film is on after dog soldiers on the horror channel at 2.35am if anyone interested.
