    Default Scary Movie Recommendations!

    Okay, I guess I'm on a horror flick roll, but my DVR is all played out, so I'm gonna go rent! I want something in the genres of scary magic (I just watched the Skeleton Key and have a renewed interest in scary witchcrafty stuff!) and maybe some kind of virus zombie thing. Btw, I HATED Dawn of the Dead, too cheesy... but I watched 28 Weeks Later a few hours ago and it was just cheesy enough.

    So what should I watch?! New, old? Give it to me!

    And feel free to wander out of my comfort zones, just tell me a tiny bit what the movie's about!

    I just watched The Eye with Jessica Alba. It scared me a bit at times lol

    Synopsis:

    Sydney, a young, blind violinist is given the chance to see for the first time since childhood through a miraculous corneal transplant. As Sydney adjusts to a dizzying new world of colors and shapes, she is haunted by frightening visions of death itself capturing the doomed and dragging them away from the world of the living. Terrorized and on the brink of insanity, Sydney must discover whose eyes she has inherited, and what secret visions they have held.

    How about an old but good one.

    'The Shining' starring Jack Nicholson and directed by the late great Stanley Kubrick.

    If you are not familar with it here are the basics:

    A family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where an evil and spiritual presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from the past and of the future.
    There never was a good war or a bad peace.

    1408, the main character visits "haunted" hotels and B&B's and writes articles/books about them and what he experiences. He's not a true "believer" until he visits 1408 in NYC.

    haha.. that movie scared me at first! the remake.. i hate how scary movies get "ruined" because some of them are only scary the first time. thats one of them.. my bf at the time screamed in the theater. i made fun of him for a loooooong time for that one

    also the ring was one of those for me.. scared me real bad the first, maybe even first few times.. but then now not so much.

    my all time favorite scary movie is the ORIGINAL halloween. i absolutely LOATHED the remake. i thought it was just terrible. but maybe that's to be expected since i'm such a fan of the original.

    i like a lot of the "old" stuff. halloween, friday the 13th, stuff like that. not even just the classics that everybody would recognze. when i was younger i used to just rent nothing but horror movies and there was a point when i had probably seen all the ones i wanted to in the video store. i really liked one called april fools day.

    I agree with 1408!! Great movie

    Oldie: The Changeling with George C. Scott.

    After the death of his beloved wife and daughter, hit by a truck in a snowing road upstate New York, the composer and music professor John Russell (George C. Scott) moves to Seattle to teach music in the local university. He leases a huge mansion in Chessman Park that belongs to the Historical Society and has been empty for twelve years. John hears some weird noises always at 6:00 AM and later he experiences the contact of the ghost of a child that lived many decades ago in the house. He researches the history of the house, and discloses a despicable secret

    The Others with Nicole Kidman

    Zombie...dont think I can help there as my fav zombie movie is Shawn of the Dead!!LOL

    LOVE "Jeepers Creepers" one and two...a really fun "monster movie" and I also know the actor who plays the creeper,LOL! He's a doll in real life.

    "Serpent and the Rainbow" zombies at their creepiest

    "Hellraiser"...who doesn't have nightmares about "Pinhead?" Clive Barker rocks!

    "30 Days of Night..." I adore vampires but these scared the hell out of me.

    You might also try some of the "8 Films To Die For" that the Horror Fest people put out every year,some are totally creepy! Blockbuster has them.

    the worst parts for me were the man in the elevator (i had a nightmare about it ) and the little boy in the hallway. i still sometimes think about that when i get home from work at night and i cant help myself from thinking about it and what he says. it's like i actually picture him in my hallway.. yes i'm a weirdo.

    Those Sleepaway Camp movies were so weird and awesome. Yay.

    If you want scary magic stuff-check out Dario Argento. Especially Suspiria-witches in a ballet school in Germany, Jessica Harper is the curious American girl.

    Some of his movies are a little intense-one's all this weird stuff with paintings and rape and I can't cope with it (Stendhal Syndrome), but he makes a fine scary movie. Opera, Tenebrae, Phenomena. So good. (Some have alternate American titles/cuts. Try to find the Italian ones.)

    I hate remakes, but have you tried old classics like Hammer horror? Lots of witches, vampires and stuff.

    And I have to suggest my Scariest Movie Ever: Black Christmas (the original). Pretty much the second modern horror movie (after Psycho).

    30 Days of Night.. surprisingly good.. thought Josh Harnett would rooon it for sure, but it was a creepy li'l vampire movie..

    Silent Hill.. from the video game.. sooooooooo good.. Lot of folks turned their noses up at it, dunno what they're thinking..

    The Signal.. amazing little indie flick, twist on the zombie thing.. low budget.. but very clever and chock full of dark humor and grossness.

    Oldie that scared the shit outta me when I was a kid.. Phantasm.. might be showing its age now. Surprised they haven't remade it.

    The Descent.. one of the best movies ever! Totally claustrophobic..

    Space horror... Ghosts of Mars.. with Ice Cube.. fun fun fun

    I'll put the Resident Evil movies in there for sure..

    The original Scream was excellent..

    The original Halloween is prob the best horror flick ever.. nothing has gotten the mood more perfect since then. I didn't love Rob Zombie's remake, but it was fun as an homage.. Cannot beat the original tho.

    Black Christmas, I liked the remake better..

    The Eye with Jessica Alba was pretty decent.. like the first Ring and the first Grudge.. but MAN, the original Japanese versions are sooooo much better! Go grab The Eye, Ju-on and Ringu..

    I'll throw Planet Terror in there.. half of the Grindhouse.. that movie rocked

    I didnt like that at ALL. Then again...I didnt know before I went that it was from a video game..that might have made all the difference. As it was I was all.."why are there zombie nurses dancing in the middle of the movie?? WTF??"
