zimmerman Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 I just got back from watching the Texas Chainsaw Massacre; haven't seen it since I was a kid (after I saw "Summer School"). Dude, that movie is seriously messed up! There's this creepy sense of southern americana realism that permeates, which really pays off in the fright department, 10-fold! I remember when I used to work at the video store, I couldn't understand those customers who would pledge allegiance to the movie. Now after seeing it again, there's no doubt in my mind that it's a bluprint for a majority of horror/suspense films to come out afterwards.how about you?

Booche Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 AUGH! Rockstar is the WORST movie of 2001 (in my mind anyways)but Halloween will always hold that special place in my heart that made it beat uncontrollably, knowing Michael was lurking in the shadows, ready to bring down his Dr Death.

Akron Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 Hard to limit it to one, so here goes: Exorcist, Jaws (I was like 9 or somethin when I saw these two for the first time). The finale of Silence of the Lambs always gets me,and I gotta say that Blair Witch freaked me deeply. And for an honorable mention "The Changeling", it's actually Canadian made, stars George C. Scott...really spooky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peipunk Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 I was a wee little boy when I watched Poltergeist and I couldn't sleep for weeks...to the point where I would scream for my parents. I really liked Blair Witch (although I hear they're making a 3rd one- milk it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akron Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 Yeah Punk, Poltergeist was scary, especially that bloody clown doll, I will never look at a clown without gettin freaked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 I'm pretty sure that the very first Nightmare on Elm Street scared the bejeezuz out of me.I don't think that I've been scared too badly by any movies since, although, I could probably watch the exorcist now and get really freaked.I think the Omen I and II, and amityville horror freaked me out too.

False_Documents Posted February 12, 2002 Report Share Posted February 12, 2002 When I saw psycho (original) I was young and cried and hyperventalated. Freaked me out big time. Although I don't think I even knew what was going on in the story.Also talking about clowns, I must say they did a good job with penntwise in the tv movie of IT. Although the book was better.

Tungsten Gruvsten Posted February 12, 2002 Report Share Posted February 12, 2002 Hmmmm... I remember being scared senseless during Amityville Horror and the draggin body-bag scene in Nightmare on Elm St. 1....but I'd have to say that 'The Changeling' scared the shit out of me-that part near the end where the lady goes into the creepy mansion to the hidden room up in the attic, with the "John, is that you? I don't want to come up there" and the wheelchair turns around and chases her down the steps. Shit-yer-pants scary that was.I love horror movies though, from Campy(Evil Dead 1) to gross(Dead Alive) to crazy (Hellraiser 1) to crappy (Redneck Zombies) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h Posted February 12, 2002 Report Share Posted February 12, 2002 i still watch my taped copy of IT once a year or so -- thats tim curry playing pennywise, but if you really want to see him EVIL check him out as the demon in Legend ... he was brilliant in thatMy absolute favourite BAD horror movie is Burnt Offerings -- it plays on the drive in station a lot lately and i just love it cuz it's soooo bad. (it also has an old lady in an attic in a wheelchair! ) Stars Bette Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
