Cry Little Sister (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK76Iv_4a4I)

"Thou shall not fall
Thou shall not die
Thou shall not fear
Thou shall not kill"

I love that! xD

Anyone remember this little movie? I think I must've watched it a million times as a kid. I was crazy about the movie, and the song. Watching it now, reminds me of all the times I used to chase our dog and try to suck it's blood as a kid.

Feel free to discuss any Horror Movie.

Edit: Ndi, could you change the title from Lost Boys to "Horror Movie Thread"?

The amount of horror movies I've watched, and would be happy to discuss, is far too long to list - so i'll just include a couple here. =)

The Lost Boys is one of my favourite films. Find it more funny than scary tbh, but not any the less entertaining for it.

Thought that Kiefer Sutherland was also pretty good in that horror thriller "Flatliners", along with the rest of the cast.

Pokemon: The First Movie.

Yeah, Lost Boys wasn't really scary, but as you said, that doesn't make it any less entertaining. I love it. xD

Also, the Shining is a classic.

Yeah. Gotta give the thumbs up for The Shining. It's ace how there really isn't anything that scary through-out the film, yet your mind starts to anticipate what's going to happen and that really makes it far more scary than those silly slasher movies.

Which one do you prefer? The original with Jack Nicholson or the 1997 (I think?) remake? Personally, I enjoyed both equally.

Personally, Stanley Kubrick's version of The Shining appeals to me more than any other. It's one of the best up there with The Thing imo.

Which one do you prefer? The original with Jack Nicholson or the 1997 (I think?) remake? Personally, I enjoyed both equally.

To be honest I can't pick one over the other. The first version didn't stick to the book anywhere near as closely as the later one - but I found it much more disturbing to watch. Jack Nicholsons performance and the atmosphere of the hotel freaked me out in a way the other one has never even come close to. To this day the *spoiler* bathroom scene is still a scene I cringe at whenever I put the dvd on. It's a rare horror movie that tends to have that kind of effect on me nowdays.

On the other hand though, the cast still gave very good performances in the remake IMO. They portrayed the characters as Stephen King had intended them to be, plus alot more of the story was included. The main gripe I had with the first version was the length. The second version more than made up for this.


It's one of the best up there with The Thing imo.

100% agree with you.

I remember watching that one around the same time I first watched Alien. I'd rate both of those as being amongst the scariest of their kind.

Indeed. They stand today and will do so for a long time to come. I don't find Alien scary unlike The Thing as it arguably more disturbing but I'm simply amazed at the production of the monsters, they go unmatched today. Especially the Queen in Aliens.

Which one do you prefer? The original with Jack Nicholson or the 1997 (I think?) remake? Personally, I enjoyed both equally.

I'd definitely say the original one. That hotel is just magnificant, and though lots of horrible stuff happened in the hotel I couldn't help but falling in love with it alittle bit. I suppose a lot of that is because of the the size of it and it's seclusion, shame that the inside and the outside aren't part of the same building.

I would like to introduce a new entry for this thread:



These movies were groundbreaking at the time, and the first two movies have become legend. Personally, I still prefer the second movie above the rest, but I still enjoy watching all of them. They're not really horror movies so to speak, but they are still bone-chilling and extremely atmospheric. Sigourney Weaver won loads of awards for her role as Ripley (she even got an Oscar nomination).

I remember getting hold of that box set back in 2005 lol.

I like the first two movies pretty much equally. There was the fact that Alien had that claustrophobic atmosphere. You knew all the way through that *spoiler* the crew's options of escape were extremely limited, which really added to the suspense. On the other hand you got more action in the second movie, which gave it more pace - along with some great effects into the bargain.

I wasn't as keen on the third movie. Found it okay, but felt it was lacking the extra oomph the first two had. I preferred the fourth film, although IMO Alien and Aliens still easily top it.

:( Everyone should be afraid of The Thing:






like poor Kurt Russell here:

:p

Lol. I'll never forget first watching that Norris scene. It really made me jump.

Definitely a movie with some of the coolest effects I've ever seen.

The Thing will always be one of the scarriest movie ever. I used to be scared with Poltergeist but it looks really laughable and cheesy now when i saw it recently on T.V. Nightmare On Elm Street is still scary though. :O

Batman and Robin, the most horrific story ever captured on film

Batman and Robin, the most horrific story ever captured on film
Pee Wee > Batman & Robin in scary meter! :p

I feel the same way about Poltergeist. I think it was the clown under the bed or maybe the chairs stacked on the table that got me but now I find the whole film humorous. I've never been really into the Freddy Kreuger's as I didn't find his character that appealing. I always think of the film Halloween when I see him for some reason, speaking of which, isn't half bad -- John Carpenter's version that is. The fact that he remains elusive and you don't know what's underneath the mask is kind of appealing to me or any other film where the face is obscured. Take Ring(u) for example. Anyway, I'll shut up now.

Lol I tend to get like that myself whenever discussing horror movies with anyone. I start to think of just a couple, and then somehow the conversation moves on to several others as thinking of one will lead to me thinking of another i've seen, and then another and so on.

I still find the first Poltergeist movie pretty creepy personally - although it doesn't scare me the way it did when I was younger. Sequel wasn't bad IMO either - although still thought the first one was much better. As for Poltergeist though, as far as i'm concerned that was a joke.

I like the Nightmare on Elm street series - but for comedy value more than anything. I've never been able to take any of them seriously hehe. I think they ended up making far too many of them though.

I really enjoyed the first Halloween film. Actually really liked the third film as well, even though it wasn't related to any of the others. As for the rest though, wasn't so keen.

Anyone seen this classic remake? It far surpasses the original in terms of fright and just pure darkness. No movie has ever scared me as much as this movie...I still get the chills when I watch it.



Another bone-chilling movie.

The cover of this movie alone made me piss my pants. Couldn't sleep more months after i saw it.

I found the re-make of House On Haunted Hill quite scary. In fact, since the movie caught me off guard so bad, I was a nervous wreck for a few days. I mean, a psycho surgeon performing unneeded surgery on the criminally insane? *Shudders* And they were still awake through the whole procedure!! But what really made me terrified...is after I watched it for the first time, I had a doctor's appointment the next day. Imagine that psychological fear!

for ye ol skool

new school

both of'm are disturbing beyond measure

Haven't seen Shadow of The Vampire just yet, but as it happens am planning on watching it at some point over the next couple of days.

And yup I remember those two. Enjoyed them both - though prefer Rosemary's Baby, as found it the more unique out of the two.

I never got the whole "Psycho" buzz, so I pretty much stayed away from that movie.

This movie used to freak me out as a kid, but it has become one of my favorite movies. I guess it's not really that scary, but it's very artistic.

Which year was that version made? Apologies for the ignorance, but because there's as many out there as there are I tend to get a bit confused at times lol.

-

The first Psycho was pretty good IMO. As for Pet Semetary, have to say I find that one of the most disturbing films I've ever watched. I've got it on video tape but have to admit I don't watch it all that often. Much as I love horror films, that one creeps me out just a bit too much lol.

My favortite is Jason from the movie Friday 13th.

The scariest movie I probably have seen is The Grudge. I'm more scared of supernatural crap then of like horror movies like Saw or Hostel or like Jason. Movies with like gore aren't scary or movies with people...just ghosty stuff:D

The scariesst movie I've ever seen was Halloween

I have never liked horror movies and I rarely watch them, especially since there hasn't been an original horror movie to come out in years. The amount of remakes in the genre is just ridiculous.


I like Hitchcock but I don't really consider any of his films to be horror.

I don't get horror either. They're never particularly ... horrible, or whatever. The Fly, the one with Jeff Goldblum did make me shit myself when i was 12 though. But that was mostly due to it's being gross and my being 12. And I think that is a horror movie. But I'm not sure.

Yeah, know what you mean. Psycho was really a thriller, rather than a horror type movie IMO.

The Fly I would count as a horror movie. It's the idea of something like that happening to a human body that defines it as being so for me, as well as all the gory effects.
