I've never been a fan of horror but as a child I watched some films that I really shouldn't have seen at that age. I would watch them alone which made them even scarier.

American Werewolf In London - 8 years old was too young to get the humour

Children Of The Corn

Saturn 3 - robot themed nightmares for years

Flatliners - Great film but jump scary

The Sixth Sense - Great film but jump scary

Ginger Snaps - Another post clubbing film

The Ring - American version. This film really messed me up. I was in a daze for a few weeks afterwards.

I can deal with gory horror movies but anything supernatural scares the life out of me. I appreciate it as a genre but I don't go out of my way to watch horror.

Thanks for sharing, awesome picks btw!

The Ring (or Ringu, but I love both), Event Horizon, Virus, and The Shining.

As with so many things I can't pick a favourite as my mind don't work like that. It always seems utterly arbitrary and frankly dishonest to pick one as it can't be right.

But I have many.

I was lucky growing up in Britain in the 1970s. On telly on Friday and Saturday nights we'd get Hammer House of Horror or similarly old classic horror films. I always stayed up late and watched them. They were cheesy as all hell but of course not without brilliant acting from the likes of Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing et al. I was well into them and had a few books on the monster and the film history or horror films.

But it wasn't until Alien happened that really changed things up for me. That was the film that showed how REAL horror could be done n a Hithcock or Poe style way. More "tell don't see".

There's been a few things since then that have been good notes.

I really disalike a lot of modern horror as they're just cheap and thin. There's a few bright lights occasionally though.

Though it's not a particularly great film I do like "The Descent" for a couple of reasons. First it gives me claustrophobia, but best of all it sounds AMAZING in 5.1. I would recommend you try the original DVD version though as the BluRay release has had something messed with that isn't as well balanced.

FOr a similar reason I also love the original Dead Space game. That has by far the best sound design of any video game. Stick that on in the dark with your 5.1 system on and you'll love it.

First time I played that was when my wife had gone to see her dad and I was alone in the dark with the surround sound on and it truly threw sound so well I kept thinking there was people outside. Truly great.

Have you ever remembered the first time you watched an awesome movie?

I remember watching the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre in the summer of 2003. I was watching it with a friend from Catholic school, and it was amazing.

I was kinda spoiled having grown up at a time when steven spielberg was making childrens movies I guess...

might be a toss up between land before time and we're back...

The first Conjuring movie is def the best horror movie we've gotten in the past 25 years.

I'm not sure if I posted on this thread already or not.

I really don't like the horror genre, because it relies on scientific ignorance.

Having said that I've recommended "Horror Express" in the past ... There's a movie about an evil electromagnetic pattern inhabiting a church, and everyone mistakes it for a devil. I think it was a British or UK production.

A couple of orioginal Star Trek episodes ... Spectre of the Gun, and Wolf in the Fold are kind of creepy.

Without question, my favorite horror movie (series) is Phantasm. The tall man is one of the most terrifying, underrated horror villains of all time imo.
