My favourite horror is Braindead--- it's really gorish and has so many zombies in it and gross stuff but is also funny!

A Nightmare on Elm Street was probably the scariest film i've seen. I was young at the time and really pood myself. :eek:
I don't particularly like horror comedies - crossovers rarely work for me. A couple of notable exceptions being 'An American Werewolf in London' and 'Rosemary's Baby'.
But for classic horror...
Halloween
Original Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Jaws
Dont Look Now
Session 9
Blair Witch Project/Last Broadcast
Carnival of Souls (original)
Invaison of the Body Snatchers (original and 1978 remake)
Ringu
Saw (first one only)
Black Christmas (original)
Southern Comfort
1st part of the original Salem's Lot mini series
Blue Velvet
Silence of the Lambs
The Haunting (original)
thats for starters...
Nightmare on Elm Street
My favourites :
Evil Dead 1 + 2
Bad Taste
Fright Night
Night Of The Living Dead
Dawn Of The Dead
Nightmare On Elm Street 3
And isn't that a complete waste of time? John Carpenter's The Thing is one of those pretty much perfect horror films, that any director will struggle to better. So why bother?
Yeah. I've read quite a lot of rumours about it. Sci-fi channel were supposed to be making a 2 part movie. But details were sketchy as to what it would be- a sequel or a remake. I haven't read much about it recently. Although I think most fans of original (like me) agree they should leave it well alone. lol it was perfect.
It's more or less official:
THE THING remake: Strike Entertainment and Universal Pictures, the team behind 2004's well-received DAWN OF THE DEAD remake, are about to embark on a redux of another horror classic - THE THING. John Carpenter's 1982 horror classic dealt with a shape-shifting alien creature that terrorizes researchers at an Antarctic facility. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA executive producer Ronald D. Moore will pen the script, described as more of "a companion piece" to the Carpenter film than a note-for-note remake says Variety.
So that's the second remake...
Psycho
What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?

I do have a lot of other favourites too though...
I can't believe this is anything other than a bad idea. Lol. The Thing is a horror masterpiece. It's perfect. *shakes head in disgust* lol.
What the crap remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre should have been! Any romantic notion of an Australian roadtrip i might have once had is blown out the water - No Way!!!
A very old film worth checking out is Freaks. It was made in the 1930s. It was banned in quite a few countries at the time as the film had some actual "circus freaks" in it - sorry to use such a term!
There is an incredible scene in the film where the Freaks undercover of darkness & during a storm all edge towards........ I will not give too much away
