So basically, since Halloween is coming up soon, each of us will probably watch something terrifying. So basically, list your horror recommendations here.

Some I liked, in no particular order:

  • Rosemary's Baby (probably the most terrifying movie ever made)
  • The Shining
  • Bride of Frankenstein
  • Freaks
  • Psycho
  • The Birds
  • The Night of the Hunter
  • The Wicker Man
  • Peeping Tom
  • Night of the Living Dead
  • Dawn of the Dead
  • Nosferatu
  • Audition
  • Jacob's Ladder

    Some with high reputations that I recommend you avoid:

  • Jaws
  • The Silence of the Lambs
  • The Ring
  • Hellraiser
  • A Nightmare on Elm Street
  • When a Stranger Calls (both the original and the remake, especially the original)
  • All of the Friday the 13th series
  • An American Werewolf in London
  • Child's Play
  • The Evil Dead (and the sequels)

I'm not really a horror kind of guy. Though, for Halloween, I may do my annual reading of this one Advanceshipping fic I like. :3



Advanceshipping and Rion had better be Chuck Norris approved.

Gamefreak

What about the original Dracula, Frankenstein, and Werewolf films?

Pyrgusfinn

not particularly scary, but The Halloween Tree was rather snazzy.

Mysterious F.

I've never seen either of those, Gamefreak, so I couldn't say. I saw Bride of Frankenstein first because it was on TV, and, since most people regard it as the greatest Frankenstein film, I couldn't resist seeing it before the original. Oh, and Freaks is from Tod Browning, who directed the Bela Lugosi version of Dracula.

What about [REC]? I think it was re-made into Quarantine in the U.S., right?
Well the second part just came out in Spain and I'll be damned if I don't go watch it.

Quarantine scared the hell out of me.

Uximadesk

But the original is better, or so I've heard, I haven't seen the Quarantine version so I have no point of reference, but I do have to tell you that Spaniards excel at making horror movies.

The idea of someone watching it is terrifying on its own
