Who Likes Horror Movies?

[renny]

Horror movies and tickling are my two big interests. I like lots of horror flicks, good and bad, but I'll just list what I think are the best examples of the horror sub-categories:

Slasher: Halloween

Demon Possession: The Exorcist

Road-Trip-Gone-Wrong: Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Zombie: Dawn of the Dead

Black Comedy: The Convent

Mad Scientist: Re-Animator

Ghost: Sleepy Hollow

Haunted House: Poltergeist

Unclassifiable: Phantasm 1, 2 and 3

I do, I do

My favorites, off the top of my head, would have to be Psycho, Halloween, DePalma's horror films (Sisters, Carrie, Dressed to Kill, etc.), The Shining, many Hammer films with the regulars (Cushing, Lee, and Price), Homicidal (a William Castle film), and James Whale's Frankenstein. I've seen a lot of horror films, but, of course, so many of them are schlocky. Incidentally, you should check out an old thread on the Mainstream Lists sub-forum started by Sole Proprieter (I think it was entitled 'Horror Movie Tickle'), since it seems to cover your interests. Re-Animator was the original inspiration for his thread.

LOVE EM!

I LIVE for horror movies (outside of tickling, that is...lol). I refuse to leave the movie rental place without at least a little gore or thrill under my arm. It's an obsession.

Some of my favorites would be:

Amityville Horror
Nightmare On Elm Street (the original)
Friday The 13th (2, 3, 4, and 6)
Halloween (1 and 2)
Return Of The Living Dead (1 and 2)
Fright Night
Poltergeist
Seven
Candyman
Evil Dead
Silence Of The Lambs
Hannibal
Waxwork
Scream
The Shining
13 Ghosts
Sleepy Hollow
Funhouse

I am sure there are tons more, if I sat here and racked my brain, but those are the ones that really leap out at me. Great post! I could sit and discuss horror movies all day! LOL!

Let's not forget...

The Untold Story, starring Anthony Wong. Extreme, unapologetic, pretty much tasteless, and wonderful. Heh heh.

I love a really good horror movie, just like I really love any good movie..... but I also love a really really bad horror movie, not sure why, it just seems that nobody can make a movie quite as bad as a horror movie. One I seem to remeber the best is a film that I think was called Sleepaway Camp, and I think at the end it had a girl that was really a guy, or a guy that was really a girl as the killer, some crazy twist that left us all reeling with disgust and screaming "HOOOOOLLLY SHIIIITT!"

and thats all I have to say about that.

 

[renny]

I've never seen Sleepaway Camp, but I know a movie with that kind of twist ending that I think you'll enjoy: Terror Firmer. It's a Troma movie, and believe me, if you can sit through that without at least wincing a little in disgust, you can sit through damn near anything.

 

[TicklingIsLife]

Only the good ones 😛 😛 😛 😀

 

[Slappy McGee]

troma films are really a scream.... but I didn't neccessarily LIKE sleepaway camp, it just stamped an impression in my fragile little mind.

thanks for the tip...

Hey Carnes

I thought I had become immune to horror flicks until I saw "The Untold Story." It is easily the most cringe-inducing film I have ever seen, even surpassing "Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer." Mr. Wong is more horrifying than Jason, Freddy and Michael meyers combined and he makes a mean pork bun!

 

[Cyrano]

Alright! I saw Evil Dead and Army of Darkness mentioned. Though I always thought of those as comedies. "Hail to the king, baby"

 

[CurtWild]

i love horror movies,i got started when i was five or six.i`ve seen`em all pretty much.

 

[Mimi]

OMG!!!

Sleepaway Camp!!!!!!! OMG!! I TOTALLY forgot about that one! I hardly remember it, since it has to have been 15 years or so since I have seen it, but your referance to the ending (guy really being girl or vice versa) reminded me that I DID see it many years ago, and it was a twisted one indeed! Now I am gonna be trying to find it again to refresh my memory! LOL

Evil Dead was killer Cyrano! It is definitely every bit as much of a comedy as a horror movie, but entertaining all the way through! Especially part 2. I love it when his hand becomes possessed, and after he amputates it, and tries to shoot it, it gives him the finger and runs away. LMAO....too good!

The Untold Story, eh?? Wonder how that one ever escaped my attention! I have never heard of it before, but it sounds like one I MUST get my hands on! The more gore and shock value it has, the better in my book!

Mimi 🙂

 

[Dr|zzt]

dunno whether i would have considered Sleepy Hollow a horror untill it was mentioned here.. i thought it was more of an action thriller... it even had a few comedic parts!

 

[Slappy McGee]

evil dead 2

how could I forget that..... best horror movie ever.

 

[TicklingDuo]

Didn't know if anyone was aware, there were a few sequels to "Sleepaway Camp", one that starred Bruce Springsteen's sister. As twisted as it sounds, I'm not making this up.("Sleepaway 2 or 3")

My favorites: The Herschel Gordon Lewis trio:
"Blood Feast"
"2000 Maniacs"
"The Color of Blood"
Also like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"(the original)
"Evil Dead"1,2, and "Army of Darkness"
"Return of the Living Dead"1 and 2
"Night of the Living Dead" and "Dawn of the Dead"
"Zombie"(late 70s, REALLY gory)
"Horror Hotel"(early 60s, really creepy witchcraft flick)
"Creepshow 1 and 2"
"Motel Hell"

[Strelnikov]

In no particular order:

Bram Stoker's Dracula
Mary Shelly's Frankenstein
Carrie
Night of the Living Dead
Creature From The Black Lagoon
The classic 1930's flicks: Dracula, Mummy, Wolfman, Frankenstein, etc.

Silence of the Lambs? Nah...wrong classification. Good flick, but not Horror.

Blood and gore?

Lemme see...scary movies...

Road movies with Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis
Anything with Shirley Booth in it.

[renny]

Never really got into Italian horror like Zombie [maybe because the copy I saw was too f****** dark to see any good gore]. I did like House by the Cemetery, though. I reccomend it.

 

[Psycho_Zombie]

Day of the dead
Dawn of the dead
Night of the living dead
