Title: Having a Halloween Scare-a-thon
Post by: THX on October 27, 2005, 10:25:01 PM
I need a scary movie or 2.  Here\'s what\'s on my list already:

1) Event Horizon
2) House on Haunted Hill
3) Night of the Living Dead (John Romero)

#1 because it was recommended to me several times by different people, read the summary on Netflix and it sounds cool.

#2 - seen it before actually but it\'s just a really freaky ass movie.  The ending is horrible I know, but all the stuff that happens beforehand is terrifying.

#3 because I know mm will b!tch unless I have it on there.  But I don\'t think I\'ve seen it in its entirety before either :D

Anything else you guys can recommend would be cool.  We like paranormal/survival stuff.  No Bruce Campbell, Alien, or Jaws.

Those are not very scary. :p

I recommend Shutter, Ringu and... uh... I can\'t think right now. Well The Shining is a nice classic!

Event Horizon is more gory than scary.

Ok Event Horizon is off the list.  Dawn of the Dead (2004) is taking its place.

Shining is not scary to me at all.  Good filmmaking but different strokes different folks.  Shutter can\'t be found anywhere over here.  Ringu, eh I\'m sure it\'s scary but we\'ve all seen the Ring and we\'d prefer something totally new.

Se7en is freaky but there\'s no fear or threat of the good guys losing their lives.

Dang, the Eye looks great but it\'s not available here yet, but for some odd reason the Eye 2 is. -_-

They were at the time, young lad. By the time your boys are 12 years of age, they\'ll think Sept 11 was just an accident.

Girls, damnit. They are girls.

The Changeling is a good one.

Night of Living Dead, due to the fact it\'s a classic.

The Excorist, while I was never a fan, I can see how some apperciate it.

Dead and Breakfast.... Though not scarey has the best song in a horror movie ever.

Night of the demons..... A cute girl sticks lipstick in her boobie. Seriously it is a great flick.

Day of the dead over notld. Pretty sure read interview that Romero even preferred that one.

If you want a joke horror movie. Try a gay zombie one. Prison of the Dead...... though only rent for the joke factor. It is horrible, and I do mean horrible.

The Changeling....... great movie. Few special effects. The story carries this one.

The Eye wasn\'t scary...

Try Ju On: The Grudge 2...

You don\'t have to really watch the first one to get the second one. Just know the basic story and plot...

I borrowed Dead & Breakfast and have yet to watch it, may get around to doin\' that this weekend.

None of the current japanese horror movies are scary. It\'s all a trend, in my humble opinion.

See what Foamy has to say about horror movies and halloween..

P.S - To the man who recommened \'Prince of Darkness\', that has to be the worst crap put on screen. Well, that and \'They Live\'. Seriously, what the hell was John thinkin\' when do done this two craptacular fests?

I always thought of John Carpenters The Thing to be a pretty scary film.  Then again, I thought Halloween was scary as well.

Post by: Living-In-Clip on October 28, 2005, 10:02:06 AM
Not a big fan of The Thing either. It\'s to sci-fi for me. Anything with aliens or spaceships I quickly lose interest in.

John\'s masterpiece was Halloween.

The thing about horror movies is...they\'re just like music. Not one will ever be universally accepted as scary or good.

BTW, anyone ever seen the old 70\'s flick called "The Sentinel"? It had some creepy moments. What about the old "Trilogy of Terror" where Karen Black gets attacked by some voodoo doll? Damn...as a kid, she freaked me out when she smiled with the shark\'s teef.

For a fun monster movie, which are never scary, watch "Tremors", "Re-Animated" (I think that\'s the name).

After years of reading your posts, I\'ve come tp the realization that you have a problem with using the words "is" and "are" properly.

It\'s coz of all those damn tattoo poisoning and the Prince Charles Ring he wears, slowly dying of lead poisoning.

I blame it on the state I live in. I mean, we still use "over yonder" as a way to give directions. Kentucky is the Cyrpus of America. What do you expect?

I never claimed to have a "prince albert", when I do have those piercings, it was frenums. And once again, a perfectly normal topic turns to penis talk.
