    "Night of the Living Dead" (1968) and "Dracula" (the 1992 Gary Oldman/Keanu Reeves version). Tie, for me. I could probably get through the first one now (then again, maybe not!), but I know I can't watch the second. I can't even watch when others are watching. The coffin of dirt racing along the cliff scene... the lady vampires eating the baby - yowsa! Sends {{{{{{{{{{mega-shudders}}}}}}}}}} up and down mine spine just thinking of it!

    "Alien" was also a bit much for me at the time. I had to watch Alien 2 and Alien 3 (both of which I LOVED) before I could get up the nerve to go back and re-watch the first one.

    Oh! Oh! I know, I know! "Trilogy of Terror"! (1975). All four vignettes were creepy but one had this little voodoo doll that came to life when its totem necklace fell off. Ooh-wee, talk about a mean little ugly voodoo doll! Made "Chuckie" look no more harmful than Ken on a bad-hair day...

    Scary movies are... scary.

    Peace!

    SA, on her own...

    I was never a frequent movie watcher until I was living w/a friend who was. We watched a lot of horror movies together. I wish I could remember the titles. One that I do remember that was good was:

    Jeepers Creepers

    Another one that was really scary was about this old truck that kept following people and plowing into them. Sorry, can't remember the title.

    The 1977 BBC miniseries "Count Dracula" is a very good English horror movie MrsJones. Low budget but true to the original Bram Stoker story.

    That was "Duel" by Stephen King Juni. Hardly any dialogue thoughout the movie but it was very intense.

    AGuest -- NOLD, can't do zombie movies *shudders* ,,, but it's a classic! and YES, that is a grt Dracula series (tho I'm partial to Frank Langella's). The Aliens series is a personal favorite "Get away from her, you b*tch!" lol! ,,, you must see Alien 4, it won't disappoint. I remember the Trilogy of Terror voodoo doll --- creepy!!~!
