.......In the Mouth of Madness. No one ever mentions this movie. It plays with your head and is the scariest freakin movie EVER! Besides that, Dawn and Day of the Dead are the best horror films, even if they arent that scary.

Mate, 'In the Mouth of Madness' has to be the single most f**ked up film I've ever seen! Quality stuff!

Have you seen 'Dead End'? Very much a similar kind of affair.

Absolutely.
Disturbing and grim.
Tim Robbins' finest hour.

Definately great.
My brother described them as "basically a very bad trip".

That twisted mental horror thing is clay in the hands of a director like Lynch..Can't mention that one without a nod to 'Mulholland Drive'

two scenes in that flick with MAJOR Horror appeal:

When the guy sees that whatever the f**k that thing is behind the diner..

When the chick sees her own corpse in the bungalow (best horror moment in recent history for me!!!)

Not to mention Badalementi's awesome work on those soundtracks..whoot!

Lynch and Badalamenti - what a combination. When we were watching Mulholland Drive, I remember a friend of mine closing his eyes and almost crying in terror.

Interestingly, UK magazine SFX had a horror special issue last month and one of its 30 Scariest moments [or was that 40, can't remember] was a scene in Lost Highway.

I have to mention these films:

Evil Dead 1 and 2

Salem's Lot

The japanese Ring [the american version was still great, but it ruined the whole 'crawling out of TV' scene IMO]

Suspiria

Alien [well, not exactly horror, but close enough]

Audition [a totally sick film]

On the other hand, The Exorcist doesn't do anything to be.

I prefer a good old fashioned ghost story to the gory stuff, they always scare me a hell of a lot more. So my votes would be:

Ghost Story (a 1980's classic)
The Changeling (just disturbing)
The Shining (the bath scene and the spooky kids

)
What Lies Beneath (OK, but a bit tame)
The Others (the best recent attempt at the genre)

That wouldn't be the moment when the ghost in the hospital appears out of nowhere behind that half-blind girl and goes 'moo' or something, would it?

Scared the shit out of me too

I also loved The Devil's Backbone too.

the scary bit for me was when they were in their bedroom near the beginning with bill pullman entering out of the darkness - just so... edgy and uncomfotable.

My thoughts pretty much. Having it in broad daylight and seeing the womans face before she reached the ex-husband... ruined it. I'll add that i thought they were too straight with the symbolism/imagery in the video, explaining all the images etc. The abstract nature of the Japanese version made it much more effective.

On the other hand, The Exorcist doesn't do anything to be.

the stuff I like about The exorcist isn't the horror, it's the priest and his mother etc. Maybe I saw too many crap rip-offs before, may have had more of an effect if i'd seen it when it came out (though i'd been about 6 i think...)

Top notch film, and very scary imo. I always find the twisted psychological ones by far the most frightening.

no, but thinking about it... yes, that moment too

I was thinking of the girl in the handwriting class.

"you're sitting in my chair"

and the guy in the lift!!!

How could I forget that one! A superb foreign language 'revenge' ghost story

We've had Sci-Fi... lets have a Horror movie thread!!
