Best Horror Film?

[Could Be Worse]

In your opinion, what's the greatest horror movie ever made. (Can include sci-fi)

[A.J. Hakari]

THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT; simple, concise, freaky as hell.

[Raoul Duke]

Evil Dead 1&2

Texas Chainsaw Massacre

[zeppelin]

I'll go for the obvious choice and say Psycho.

[VicVega]

Dawn of The Dead takes the cake.

[Strider]

THE OMEN

[dh1989]

Both are mastepieces that actually creep you out, and don't rely on millions of F/X shots to please the audience. I love both of these movies.

[Tom Samborski]

The Silence Of The Lambs

[notchreturns]

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, by far.

The Exorcist, Halloween, The Thing, Psycho, and The Shning are all damn good, too.

[bob]

If you're counting Horror/Comedies then it's Evil Dead II.

If not, An American Werewolf in London (kind of a comedy, but more horror than Evil Dead II).

[Could Be Worse]

I think every horror movie should have at least an element of comedy in it, so you know not to take it too seriously. (Unless it's a more gritty film such as Seven, but that's not really horror)

Oh my, that's my fave too, 'cept I didn't really think of it as "horror", that's why I didn't mention it earlier. Well, I change my vote to The Silence of the Lambs.

Suspiria
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
Dawn Of The Dead
The Wicker Man
Last House On The Left

That's my top 5!

[rushmore beauty]

Sleepy Hollow. Beautiful, gothic, quiet, macabre and all-around amazing. Depp is fantastic in this (IMO, his best performance to date) and everyone else holds their own. Great cinematography, sets, costumes and effects. Tim Burton's ultimate masterpiece. Not so much a horror as it is an original fairy tale.

[Friggin Jawas]

I got questions about those pics.... why are there naked chicks in a circle at stonehedge and why is there a guy with hanging of skin looking at a shark?


BTW Halloween and Silence of the Lamb got my vote


".....they were screaming..."

[KillerKlown]

The Beyond.


Oh aye, the shark pic is from Zombie, where an underwater fight scene takes place between a zombie and a shark...I'll say no more. ;)

[Friggin Jawas]

...so does the zombie like eats the shark or somethin?

[KillerKlown]

Well, I don't want to spoil it for you, but it's a bit of both. ;)

[xUberJasonx]

the nightmare on elm street series, halloween series,friday the 13th series, and the shinning, ohh yeah and the hellraiser series

[pat00139]

I'm usually not the first to mention it, and this time is no exception, but Suspiria is my pick.

[BadCoverVersion]

Well, that isn't Stonehenge for a kick-off...;)

The Wicker Man is set in and around a rather strange little (fictitious) Scottish Island called Summerisle...a neo-pagan society no less, and the natives love nothing more than getting their kit off, and performing (nudey) ritualistic demonstrations in honour of the "Old God's". They also break into cheery song at any given opportunity...

:)

It's a must-see.

[ANavissi500]

The Ring scared me the most, but I also have a special place in my heart for the Scream trilogy.

[ANavissi500]

O wait Im so stupid!!!! The Sixth Sense is on my friggin top 20 list, so the Sixth Sense is my favorite. Totally slipped my mind.

[Tagia_Romero]

The Thing
Ringu
The Ring
The Others
Night of the Living Dead
Dawn of the Dead
Jaws
Duel
The Evil Dead
Phantasam
Alien
Aliens

[Horror_Buddy]

I change my vote to evil dead or Phantasm

[Kurtz' Killer]

The top three horror films ever made are easy:

Lars von Trier's THE KINGDOM
William Friedkin's THE EXORCIST
and
Stanley Kubrick's THE SHINING

Those who said "Blair Witch" know nothing about cinema. (sorry)
Masterpiece? No way, chachi-that film was only a masterpiece in terms of marketing.

[Jon Lyrik]

Suspiria
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
Halloween

[blankpage]

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre


But, these others are so close:

-Evil Dead 2
-A Nightmare on Elm Street
-Nosferatu
-Halloween
-The Silence of the Lambs
-The Shining
-Psycho

[beanie]

PLEASE!

the only film ive ever watched that still scares the crap
out of me over the years is the orginal The Haunting

nothing really happens
except in your head

what can ever scare you
except what you yourself can imagine?

[Hannibal21]

Wow. I no longer consider TSOTL a horror movie anymore, it's actually more of a 'thriller'. So my vote for best 'horror' movie goes to Alfred Hitchcock's PSYCHO (scariest horror movie though, is Don't Look Now).

[beanie]

dont look now is really crap if you watch it
properly

70's angst rubbish
