    Just been to see the new Halloween movie and I must say it did the first one justice and is now up there as one of my favourite horror movies.As I love a good scare for me Halloween and Friday The 13th would be my favourite scary movies. So what is your favourite horror movie is it your classic slasher or maybe movies that have a paranormal theme.?

    I watch a bit of scream last night.....


    Silence of the lambs suppose is good little bit slow though

    The fog..... Scary how terrible it is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 476 ✭✭selwyn froggitt


    I really like some of the horror movies that have come out of the UK in the last decade or so
    Sightseers
    Kill List
    Dead man’s shoes


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    In recent years, my favourite would have to be 'It Follows'....so incredibly simple but so deeply unsettling, leaves you thinking about the concept for ages afterwards.

    Another good recent one is Hereditary, ending's a bit weak but the film itself is a haunting rollercoaster.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,544 ✭✭✭h7nlrp2v0g5u48


    Bram Stoker's Dracula (+ The Exorcist and The Conjuring).

    I Wasn't a keen fan of Bram Stokers Dracular but the original Excorcist a pure classic and to me it still stands out as one of the scariest movies i have ever seen.

    Dawn of the Dead, the 2004 remake:



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,052 ✭✭✭✭TheValeyard


    The Excorcism of Emily Rose

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,489 ✭✭✭Yamanoto


    Bram Stoker's Dracula

    Scariest thing about that was Keanu Reeves English accent.

    A very unsettling film.

    For me, 'The Exorcist' and 'The Shining' trump all. Evil Dead 2 one of my favourite films ever (dark comedy) and recently watched 'Apostle' on Netflix which I'd highly recommend.

    'The Wicker Man' original as well.

    Also, 'The Haunting of Hill House' on Netflix was pretty good, 10 part series based on classic Shirley Jackson book.

    I just finished watching The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix and Apostle would definitely recommend both

    For me, The Blair Witch Project. It's one of those epoch-making horror films, like Halloween, in that it kick-started a subgenre (or at least brought it to mainstream prominence). By the time I'd seen Halloween, I'd already been exposed to many of its tropes. Blair Witch Project, on the other hand, was entirely new to me, and so I still find it effective.

    But I understand that it's a pretty divisive film.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    The Wicker Man
    The Nanny
    Kill List

    All pretty unsettling for their respective eras

    Two episodes into the Haunting of Hill House. It's very, very well done.

    The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the Hills Have Eyes. I was only a teenager when i saw these and they really put the willies up me. Especially The Texas Chainsaw Massacre as this was banned when it was first released.

    Silence of the Lambs for me - Anthony Hopkins performance as Hannibal Lecter was second to none - both creepy but oddly captivating.

    I also loved the overall story - I love a detective story.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,251 ✭✭✭Andrewf20


    The original chainsaw massacre, misery, the shining and controversially perhaps - the blair witch project.

    I loved both. Both very very creepy. I thought the ending to Hereditary was incredible

    I watched the 2017 version of IT today for the first time and though it was very scary but Im not good with horror

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,782 ✭✭✭dmc17


    The Changeling (1980) is a good haunted house movie


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,551 ✭✭✭AllForIt


    The Exorcist

    Scream was fun.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,940 ✭✭✭✭Rothko


    Alien. It's still genuinely scary after all these years.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,940 ✭✭✭✭Rothko

    Sightseers

    It's very good but I wouldn't consider Dead Man's Shoes to be a horror movie.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,531 ✭✭✭Harika


    The devil's rejects - one of the best movie endings ever
    Dead snow - nazi zombies what more can you want?
    Funny games - went silently home after the cinema, highly disturbing movie


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,301 ✭✭✭✭cj maxx


    Salems lot
    More a 3 parter than a movie if I remember but your wee buck floating outside the window has been the basis of alot of scary pranks

    The fog..... Scary how terrible it is.

    You must mean the remake. The John Carpenter original is a masterpiece in scares and tension.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,628 ✭✭✭orourkeda1977


    Inception.

    A really nasty piece of sh1t

    Yeah it's one of the best horror films. Some of the best include the ring with Naomi watts, dawn of the dead remake, the thing, a quiet place.

    I hated the exorcist, I found it more funny than scary.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,962 ✭✭✭✭dark crystal


    Top 3 would be



    An American Werewolf in London
    The Shining
    Creepshow

    I also love Misery, The Others, Rosemary's Baby and The Mist.
