All greats. Though think Halloween dated a bit, like all the 80s slashers. Of course, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was one of the originals in that genre, but retains an edge that was lost in the 80s formulaic efforts.

Black Christmas is my favourite Christmas film. My wife prefers It's a Wonderful Life...

Shur it's black and white, just give it subtitles and it wouldn't even exist.

Just watched Devil. Was told it was scary. Wasn't.

Ah, didn't know that. I'll must give it a watch.

The Blair Witch Project

Definitely up there, despite all the derision. The final scene when they reach the cellar and you see Mike and suddenly you recall the earlier reference to what happened to the children...superb.

Up there with Ringu for best final scene. And one from the left field, Kill List, a very messed up film with some severe gore and an ending that just shocked.

Another great from recent English directors, Dead Mans Shoes.

The original changeling?

I saw it ages and ages ago, very atmospheric from what I remember. Of course it's much tamer than John Carpenter's version, the bloody defibrillator scene :eek::eek:

ShagNastii · 31-10-2017 10:24PM

I'd have to say Insidious.

I think it is the psychological nature of it. Any horror monsters/ghosts always seem a bit cartoony at time but demons n stuff:eek::eek::eek:

Xaracatz · 31-10-2017 10:38PM

Thirteen Ghosts.

It's on Netflix. I'd watch it again, except I'd like to sleep tonight.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 31-10-2017 10:48PM

Threads, back in the day - frightened the living **** out of me.

Also, Gattaca. If that didn't scare you, you weren't paying enough attention.

Hmm, "The Strangers", "The Orphanage" (Spanish horror) and "Ils" which is called "Them" in English (French horror) are probably the scariest I've watched in a while. "The Woman in Black" is pretty good too.
