OT: what's your favorite scary movie?

It's the season of spooky movies.
The og IT scared the hell out me when I was little.
But my favorite would be Childs Play 1-3. They all suck after that.
Honorable mention
The shining
Christine.. would like to see the car get melted down and turned into a new killing machine

The original Halloween
I also like the original Saw - Psychological horror stuff
Also - is “Get Out” horror? Great movie

 

[HankMoody78]

Exorcist 3 was the last movie where I was young enough to feel that fright you want from a movie. No way I was sleeping thinking about senior citizens crawling on the ceiling like bugs.

Halloween 1978

Followed by Halloween 4

 

[BigRedTed]

Never been too into horror movies so I don't have much of a list. More of a comedy or sci-fi/fantasy guy. That said of the handful I've seen I have to go with Hitchcock's Psycho.

Wait until Dark with Audrey Hepburn is up there for me as well. Always enjoy Audrey's movies and that was a good one in my opinion.

Insidious
As Above, so below
The popes exorcist
Hostel
Black phone

I'm just not into horror/slasher movies at all. I thought the new IT movies were pretty good. The opening scene of "Night of the Living Dead" scared the hell out of me at a fairly young age.

 

[wholeo]

The Conjuring movies are pretty good.

 

[litespeedhuskerfan]

You guys that are into scary movies are a different breed...i'm convinced they're an extension of the devil.

 

[litespeedhuskerfan]

Poltergeist if I had to name one though...after that i'm out.

 

[Mrs.Jeans15]

Halloween the original.


Scary Movie 1 and 2..lol

 

[TheHuskerFreak]

The 2001 Colorado game.

The 2001 Colorado game.

****n nightmare.

 

[huskerfan1414]

Im a big vincent price fan too. Pit and the pendulum is the ultimate creepy price. House on haunted hill is good, too.
Night of the living dead is great. Conjuring.

[resdog851]

Scariest- The Exorcist
Favorite- The first three Friday the 13th (honorable mention when Jason kicks Freddies ass or when Jason punches the head off the cocky kid in Jason goes to Manhattan)
Best movie- The Thing. Kurt Russell/John Carpenter. That is perfection

Other favorites include the earlier mentioned scene in Exorcist 3 where the old lady goes crawling across the ceiling in the background. I just about shit myself.

-extra honorably mention goes to The Devils Rejects. That movie kicks ass. Rob Zombie is pretty good.

 

[Husker.Wed.]

Original The Mummy
Original Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Reanimator
Original Stepford Wives
The Birds
Original Carrie (not that scary, but the opening locker room /shower scene is priceless)

 

[Baxter48]

Amityville horror, the first chucky and old 1950’s like the creature from the black lagoon, duel, killdozer

 

[PeliniTheCrutch]

Road House

 

[Husker.Wed.]

-extra honorably mention goes to The Devils Rejects. That movie kicks ass. Rob Zombie is pretty good.

In the upcoming election we could do a lot worse than Captain Spaulding for President.

The existence of a devil makes no sense. A good shepherd doesn't co-exist with a wolf harrying his flock, he kills the mothertrucker like Dalton did when a guy put a gun in his face.

I would agree some of them are very questionable, but some are just stupid and a little funny, I said amityville horror and that was enough for me I think you have a point on that movie

 

[leodisflowers]

Phantasm. Terrifying when I was a kid.

 

[WHCSC]

Blair Witch stuck with me for a long time. That was when I used to go on solo bike rides in the woods a lot.

The first 2 or 3 Hellraiser movies were great. Pinhead is a scary as hell.

 

[mgbreis]

The first 2 or 3 Hellraiser movies were great. Pinhead is a scary as hell.

The first one came out in '87 when I was in HS and somehow my buddy and I ended up going to it with his older brother in law. I thought it was maybe the worst movie I'd ever seen and when we left and were driving down the highway his very stoic brother in law gave his review, "that movie was dogshit." I know it's a cult classic so it definitely falls into the category of "it's just not my thing!"

 

[sloth316]

The VVitch on Netflix was pretty solid stuff

 

[grimlock78]

The original Unholy, demonic movies are always the scariest to me.

 

[otismotis08]

The absolute worst/best of the bunch is Hereditary.
Just thinking about it messes up my mind.

 

[Herbie3000]

The Exorcist, Hereditary, Midsommar, The Shining, Event Horizon, Halloween, The Pope’s Exorcist.

I like the psychological and demonic possession type of horror movies. Not really into the monster/slasher ones.

 

[sloth316]

Not a movie per se but Mike Flanagan's 3 series on Netfilx: The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor and Midnight Mass were all 3 really good
