The Ultimate Horror Movie Rec Post!
I've watched about five horror movies in the last three days or so, and I'm back in a horror phase, I think, so... I need recs! Or discuss! What are your favourites? Which ones are the scariest? Which ones do you think I absolutely HAVE to see? I've seen a lot, but I want more, so... gimme! :)

I think I'm gonna give the original Grudge movies a try next. The remake scared the crap out of me but the originals are supposed to be even CREEPIER, so... looking forward to that. :D

It's the only movie that scared her, the ONLY one.
Me? I won't go further than underworld and resident evil, I'm a chicken.
:D

- American Haunting his great! <3
- I've been meaning to watch Seven for YEARS, but I haven't done it yet... I think my brother has it, though, so I gotta go steal that at some point. XD
- I've seen the Amityville Horror remake, but then I'll check out the original at some point too...
- The Shining, I've seen. <3
- And Pet Semetery... LOL! I had this friend who said that it was the creepiest movie ever, and I'd never seen it, and... then I watched it, and I was like, >.> cause I wasn't impressed at all. I'd expected something worse from what she'd told me - but maybe it's because she saw it when she was younger, and... yeah. XD

However, my brother got me to sit down and watch In the Mouth of Madness with him--- holy fuck, I have no idea what it is about that movie-- I've still not been able to watch it all the way through without turning it off. And I've tried many, many times. So yeah. Scary.
Also, if you haven't seen Jack Nicholson's version of The Shining, I'm not sure I classify it as Horror (though it probably is), it's brilliantly done. I actually liked it far better than Stephen King's book (and that's hard to do) since I have a hard on for King.
I really liked 1408 too. There are times it goes too far so that you think-- oh stop that, that's ridiculous, but Samuel Jackson is amazing, and I think John Cusack proves how brilliant he is.
Want to be scared by reading? In Stephen King's Night Shift book is a short story (about 25 pages or so) called Children of the Corn (yes, it is the place where all those horrible Children of the Corn movies began-- They're probably up to sequel 20 billion by now), but that is truly the scariest story I've ever read. I stopped three times before finishing. And it takes a lot to scare me in a book. I then slept with the light on for days.

Never heard of Mouth of Madness, so I'll look that up... I have seen the Shining and 1408 was... gah. Loved that one. I think I need to rewatch that at some point cause I was reeeally scared when I first saw it.
And I've never really been scared while reading a book before, but I'm definitely gonna try that out! :D
Thanks - even though I've seen most of those. XD

Rose Red by Stephen King (and watch THE WHOLE miniseries. It is SO worth it.)
Trailer:
The Orphanage (Geraldine Chaplin, you gotta love her...)
Trailer:
These two I have seen myself. And then hubby gave this tip. I haven't seen it, and I don't think I will. :-P To much of a classic horror-movie for me. So I don't think I could take it.
Drag me to hell
Trailer HERE.
Apparently Sam Raimi has done that one, and he has done the entire Evil Dead series to, old classic apparently. Haven't seen them. :-P
Hope that helped! :-)
