I am a horror fan, but not a gore fan. Definitely agree with Prince of Darkness. The end creeped me out. Alice Cooper scared the crap out of me. That green goo in the chamber gave me chills. Agree with Audition. True horror.
The original film of Shirley Jackson's creepy book "The Haunting of Hill House", with music by Humphrey Searle(??)
"THE HAUNTING" Watch it with all the lights off.
HB
OMG, YES!! That movie still scares me. That movie scared me more than The Exorcist. FHN....the skeleton scene in Jason and the Argonauts scared me to death as a kid. But, I love that movie to this day. The most recent scary movie I've seen is El Orfanato (The Orphanage). I wish they made more movies like this now. Some others I lost sleep over. The Thing.
Candyman #1 The Blood on Satan's Claw Jacob's Ladder.
(the dance/party scene with that creature thing tripped me out) Angel Heart
The Hunger with David Bowie And if you never saw this one, rent it for a good shudder. Sam Neil and Isabella Adjani. Possession (The Night the Screaming Starts) The Believers with Martin Sheen Sisters with Margot Kidder. Scary as hell with some gore too. The Other from a book by Tom Tryon. About twin boys. Chilling. Something Evil (1972) Still haven't figured out what was in the jars in the barn.
Layla, I sat through the first SAW and Hostel, and that was enough for me.
