borrowed some movies from my brother:

The Village
The Return
In Dreams
The Hills Have Eyes
The Hills Have Eyes 2
Dark Ride
Abandoned
Nightmare Man

so it occurs to me, what are your fave horror movies?

and am i alone in thinking that a horror film is made significantly better if it has nudity? something to do with grittiness, i think. when i was picking movies out today, i was hesitant to pick out a horror movie that didnt have violence, gore, and nudity (2 out of 3, at least)

The Shining (the old one with Jack Nicholson) RedRum!

That'* funny, I agree with you, the horror movies are nothing without gory, nudity and violence.

If you want to go old-school, my favorite is the Friday the 13th series.

Lately I'm a sucker for those creepy, bone-chilling Japanese films, the Shutter comes to mind, as well the Grudge 1/2

I don't recall Dark Ride, what is it?

I liked Black Cadillac, an independent movie, poorly directed but fun to watch since it'* car-related...

Saw one and only one

Serpent and the Rainbow!
Because it'* based on a true story and is about mental terror instead of physical terror.

lots of movies here ive never heard of . . .

and got to be honest, i prefer the remake of the shining. but the kid is just creepy. but then, most kids are (seen the Good Son? both of them are just creepy)

Dark Ride:
Nearly a decade after two young girls were brutally murdered, the monstrous killer, Jonah, escapes from a mental institution and returns to his familiar killing ground, the theme park attraction "Dark Ride". His unfortunate victims this time are a group of college kids on a road trip that inevitably leads them to the Dark Ride where their night of youthful fun becomes a nightmare. The killer, who is mimicking the sets within the attraction, makes sure this is a "ride" audiences will never forget.

My two absolute favorites not sure if they are exactly horror'* though.

Christine

Maximum Overdrive

"a clockwork orange" ftw. pretty messed up flick right there.

the ones that scare me the most are the ones that have to do with being at home.

i don't remember exactly, but i think domestic disturbance is one of those, also disturbia (that one'* funny and teenager based, kinda why i like it), what lies beneath, stir of echoes.

for more old-school scary, i have to say i like John Carpenter'* "The Thing"...i saw that when i was much younger and remember being terrified

sorry if you all think my choices suck, those are the ones that creep me out the most

Got my vote
