Ok. I know it's a corny subject-title, but isn't horror movies all about the gore, cheap thrill and being downright corny?
Since metal and horror goes great together, which horror movies is your favorite and why? |

I don't watch tons of horror movies, but I like watching the old black and white horror movies from the 30s. I picked up a box set with around 50 movies in it last Halloween, but I don't know where it went. I'd only had a chance to watch a couple of them, including :White Zombie" starring Bela Lugosi. I love the original Night of the Living Dead movie as well. I've seen the remake of Dawn of The Dead, but I didn't care for it. I still need to see the original Dawn. ------------- https://armchairmaestro.com/" rel="nofollow - My Music Blog |

Have you seen Das Kabinett des Doktor Caligari? It's a horror movie from the 20s, pretty awesome silent film My favourite horror movie is Rosemary's Baby. ------------- http://shrineofllyria.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - http://shrineofllyria.blogspot.com/ |

The Gothic german silents from the 20's are some of the best horror movies made. I also like T.H. Dreyers Vampyr, that plays like a feverdream. I'm a obviously a fan of the Coffin Joe series - Brasilien occult/slasher/gore fest. The original trilogy is worth checking out, and there's some really disturbing and insane scenes in there. Not like Cannibal Holocaust disturbing. But I can imagine why Coffin Joe or Jos� Mojica Marins was frowned upon in 1963 when the first film was released. You can read more about the films here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Mojica_Marins" rel="nofollow - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Mojica_Marins Dario Argento have also made some great horror films - Suspiria being the best one in my opinion.

I've seen "Vampyr" a long time ago, and it really was nightmarishly awesome - I also recall being quite fond of a short film by Dreyer called "De Naaede Baaden". I have a weakness for the old Universal monster flicks of the 30-60s and I also enjoy really well put together thrillers, and I have a small collection of those types of movies. I also have a bunch of old German gothic silents, but I've never had to time to watch them. I was a big fan of slashers back in my teens, but I appear to have outgrown that stuff, as it no longer appeals to me at all - I still do like the build-up phase of slashers and similar types of films with all the suspense and the slow revelation of the horrors to come, but as soon as the carnage starts, I seize to be impressed. I do welcome very well put together horror flicks, regardless of the genre. And I don't mind if they are a bit arty, too. I also like really campy b-movie horror stuff (ironically, perhaps), and I have a weakness for giant monster Godzilla flicks, too. -------------

The campy slasher of the 70's & 80's do have some merit. Halloween & Halloween II being my favorites. I'm not really into to whole torture-porn wave, although i found Hostel entertaining. Of recent films that is worth to mention, there's Descent & Dog Soldiers. Both made with a fairly low budget, but succeeds with great acting and creative ideas. Oh.. and of course D� Sn� (dead snow), the norwegian nazi-zombie-splatter-comedy & Trollhunter (also norwegian) - a blairwitch meets trolls in Norway!

Trollhunter sounds interesting. And speaking of zombie-comedy, "Shaun of the Dead" is awesome. -------------

Trollhunter is epic! More on the humorous side though. It's really well made & the trolls looks like real trolls from the mythology.

My brother and I used to collect horror movies and especially splatter movies like the Evil Dead movies and of course Braindead and Bad Taste by Peter jackson. I�ve become a wimp after having children though and I simply have a hard time enjoying the really hardcore horror movies anymore ( not that the ones I mentioned are hardcore in any way). I�ve seen quite a few of the Japanese ones in the last ten years and boy some of those are creepy like hell. I�ve seen a couple of South Corean ones too and those were really unpleasant too.
The most nasty one I�ve seen in a while ( not sure if it really qualifies as horror though) is "Ichi the Killer". It�s the same director who made "Audition" which I haven�t seen myself, but I�ve been told the last 15 minutes of that movie should give even the most tough guy castration anxiety. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

The movies that usually get me are creature films so to me a scary movie is "Black Waters" O.o but I love serial killer movies like: Halloween (both the original and new ones) Friday the 13th (I think they should have put Jason in the woodchipper in the new one instead of back into the water :P) Nightmare on Elm street Saw ( They are amzing :O) oh and I love zombie movies too! the only one i've seen that was too dumb for me (and I love stupid movies) was ahhh Zombies! -_-
