Title: What’s your favorite horror movie?
Post by: LordManHammer on January 03, 2022, 09:17:23 AM
I like slasher’s (Friday 13th, Halloween, NOES)  boo scary Conjuring, Exorcist, The Omen, horror comedy’s dale and tucker vs. evil, evil dead, even creepy themed stuff that has decent storytelling. 

Nothing over the top or gratuitous or something ultra violent, there’s a difference between these movies as opposed to stupid movies Saw, Hostel, Serbian Film.

Also I like slow burners psychological thrillers.

John Carpenter's "The Thing" will always be #1 for me.
"The Lighthouse" is a close #2, though. Creepy and unsettling all the way through with, what I felt was, a great twist.

Terrifier

Not a big horror guy but this one is great.

Basically anything that doesn’t involve unrealistic supernatural bullshit.  Or non-stop screaming from the female lead.  In other words, I fucking hated Hereditary even though everyone seems to love it.

Child’s play, because it’s the first “Loud black horror fan knows best” type of movie.

Edit- Evil Dead 2 is also my shit.

To take from some that have already been posted

Martyrs (the French one)
Just watched this recently and it definitely stuck with me.

John Carpenter's "The Thing" will always be #1 for me.
"The Lighthouse" is a close #2, though. Creepy and unsettling all the way through with, what I felt was, a great twist.
Agree on both of these, The Thing is a classic, and The Lighthouse was great.  I'm a sucker for practical effects.

I fucking hated Hereditary even though everyone seems to love it.

I'm glad you brought this up as it definitely seems to be an either you love it or you hate it type movie.  Personally I loved it, had me spooked from beginning to end.

I'll add another one that may be controversial, but I really thought Mother! was good.  Made me so uncomfortable through out the entire thing.  I love a movie that can really invoke  emotions, good or bad.

Happy you mentioned The Lighthouse, thought about watching the other day. Definitely gonna check out now.
Really enjoy The Wicker Man, Scream series, Sinister, & the ones already mentioned. Wander on Amazon prime is fun.

Don't know if my choices count as what many would call horror but
Gonna have to say alien. Possibly seen it 100 times over the last 30 years. Horror movies don't actually scare me (I'm way more affected by realistic things) so it's all about film making for me. Cinematography and practical effects are all time.

Then to contradict myself I'm going to say the final destination movies just for premise and general fun.

Then there's some Australian movies that have been brought up in the good movies thread but they may be way too realistic to be counted as horror and be more crime thriller category.

Oh and Shaun of the dead and 28 days later duh

I’d say that one is up there on my top 5 for sure. Mainly because of Linnea.
Demons 1 and 2 are great as well, Argento rules.

Here’s a glimpse at some of my favorites.

yeah Ambient Johnny is on the program, I like it.

I will throw out some random recs for under appreciated gems

Butcher Baker Nightmare Maker (1981) amazing performance from Susan Tyrell, dark sleazy film, they dont make em like this anymore
The Resurrected (1991) fun HP Lovecraft adaptation, directed by Dan O'Bannon, really starting to enjoy the early 90s horror vibes these days
Death Line aka Raw Meat (1972) atmospheric british horror set in the london subway system
Bordello of Blood (1996) most people know this one but I have seen this Tales From The Crypt film get a lot of hate online over the years, I dont get it, its a personal favorite, it delivers the goods.
Dont Torture a Duckling (1972) Fulci Giallo, Barbara Bouchet, Dark themes, violent, sleazy. If you havnt ventured outside the Fulci basics you need to check this one out.

Alien

Bram Stoker's Dracula if that counts.

Maybe not true horror but I also love Rosemary's Baby.

Not movies, but I fucking love the Twilight Zone. Many episodes are straight sci-fi or something else, but many are what I would consider horror. The Hitch-Hiker comes to mind, the plot is a woman driving on a long car trip, but sees the same hitch hiker in every town she enters, he's always there one step ahead of her. Creepy as fuck.

I generally don't like classic horror, the best movies that are "scary" to me are ones that are more subtle and generally unsettling and eerie, than say, shit like Halloween or Friday the 13th. Could never take those things seriously.

I always catch myself thinking about how raw Texas chain massacre (1974, the original) was, it's my favorite horror movie, the dinner scene is so unsettling, it's a timeless horror movie.

I'm a sucker for Giallo movies, Dario Argento's movies are amazing, my favorite is Profondo Rosso.

Honorable mention to Noroi, Jhorrors are really cool, last year i was on a Jhorror bind, but Noroi was the one that stood out from the ones i watched. The pacing is really on point, it's a long ass film but it works, probably the best found footage horror movie i've ever watched.

Obviously I don't think it's the best ever or anything but House of 1000 Corpses is my pick for favorite. I absolutely HATED it the first time I saw it in theaters, then I watched it on a rainy night with my friends and realized that I was just being a pretentious 18 year old and it was actually awesome.

I know it comes way off the rails at the end but that's part of the charm for me and everything leading up to it is so good. Sid Haig in that movie is the best.

"Nightmare on Elm Street" is almost a perfect horror movie.

I also echo "Alien" and "The Thing"

I enjoy the first "Hostel" (though with the Director's Cut ending).

And will pick "JD's Revenge" for my unique choice:
