The greatest Halloween-time movies?

[Doctor Jones]

The only part that really got me was when he bit down on his fingernail and that ooze came out. And pulling out his teeth...Eesh.

That too.

It was on AMC Friday. I watched some of it. But from past memories and images of that film, I skipped past it. When the monkey turns inside out. When Golblume rips the mans wrist off, the mother f***ing FLY!

(I know, I get scared and grossed out easily)

that's te reason I brought it up.

 

[Sawyer]

I never will rewatch the Exorcist again......I couldn´t sleep for two weeks the last Time i saw it.

But its such a great film, isnt it?

But its such a great film, isnt it?

The Exorcist scarred me for life (does not bother me anymore though). I watched it when I was ten. I watched it with my friend and his father in broad daylight with the blinds up. The film was scary and all that, but I did not realize how scary it was until that night I went to bed. My mind went crazy, and so many "What If?" scenarios went through my head. Around that time, I could not go to sleep unless there was some sort of light (night light or TV) on. I could not close my eyes when I was in the shower. I always looked twice at items in the house that were reflective (mirrors, picture frames, microwave fronts, etc.). I always looked behind my back when I was alone in the house. The movie was especially scary because I was religious, so I believed that demonic possession can happen.

However, I got over all of that by the next five years. I did not need a TV on to go to sleep anymore. I can close my eyes in the shower. I am not afraid of being home alone anymore. The only thing that I still do occasionally is look at mirrors for something wrong. Even though I believe possession can happen, my mind is never on it or any of those negative things. Last year when I saw the movie on TV with my friends, we were joking the movie and laughing at random parts of the movie. But, you won't catch my ass watching it by myself willingly. Even though I won't be afraid of it for days or anything like that, I still might lose a little bit of sleep on that night. The mind can do crazy things.



I still respect the movie as the scariest movie of all-time, even though it is not so scary to me anymore.

I'm making her watch the People Under the Stairs this year.
She's never seen it and is convinced that it's absolutely terrifying. I've told her several times that's it's not what she thinks, at all, but alas she doesn't believe me. She's been under the impression it's about crazy deformed/zombie people living under people's stairs that try and kill you. I'm excited to see how she feels about it when she actually sees that it's nothing like that.

This is obviously Halloween.

And I know some think Excorist is the scariest film, but IMO it's Halloween. I still to this day second think looking out windows in fear of seeing a Shatner mask starring back at me.

Suspiria is insane. And I've had similar experiences with trying to get others to watch People Under the Stairs. People don't understand how funny it is, I think the title creeps them out and they assume it's straight up horror.

For some reason, Halloween doesnt frighten me all that much. It's a great movie, for sure. It's a classic, but not very scary.

Not many movies have the capacity to scare these days. I think audiences are de-sensitized to it all by now.

Anyway, my favourite Halloween movies:

- Halloween (Original)
- Halloween 2
- Halloween H20
- A Nightmare on Elm Street
- Salem's Lot (Original)
- 28 days later
- Dawn of the Dead

For some reason I've gone completely off the Scream movies. I just don't like them anymore.

It scary at certain moments (especially when the music kicks in) but overall its more creepy rather than scary. I actually found Halloween II to be scarier than Halloween.

 

[boydston_14]

The only thing that truly scares me still isn't even a movie but an episode from Tales of the Crypt entitled "Television Terror." The last time I saw that it was at my sister's house at around 11 at night. I couldn't walk around my house with the lights off once I got home that night. It's freaky.

I was once a horror buff but i stopped watchin anything in the genre after the grudge came out. Now Im realizing there is so much I haven't seen.

I rented Jack Brook's Monster Slayer and thought that was fun . It's the best thing Robert Englund has really done(outside freddy) since the Mangler maybe.
I also saw hatchet but thought that wasn't that good (overated by the aintitcoolnews team)
