Some of the movies based on Stephen King stories are among my favorites. Of those, I probably like The Dead Zone the best. It was also made into a very good TV series.
@Rutterman I loved The Dead Zone movie with Christopher Walken. That was an example of the movie being true to the novel. I did enjoy the series, too. The Dead Zone is my favorite of his books.
It's not my fav because I generally hate them. But I was traumatized by , and I can't recall the name, now. It broke some barriers when it was released. The exorcism, that's the one.
And believe it or not, I just watched the one with Emily Blunt with her real life hubby, in, A Quiet Place. I saw zero sense it it, totally, but appreciated the family love(dynamic), it was also cool for me because one of the actors is Deaf and so they all signed :)
I have to add, that it was not much 'horror' but more a thriller IMO and disgusting evil aliens in it. Some things were gross and scary, for sure.
@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON A lot of people will think my choice is mild because it had comedic moments, but horror isn’t my genre either. So I don’t like the hardcore stuff.
@bijouxbroussard That movie was really like no other. I can't believe adults were not only present but consented to me watching it! I couldn't sleep alone for a while.
I was probably eleven or so. Maybe 12, but not older.
i haven’t seen many but i liked the original orphan movie from 2009😺 i watched it with my cousin on a rainy day and it spooked me quite a lot i think it’s an interesting premise

horror isn't my favorite, unless it's really campy, like Dark Shadows.
but i did watch An American Werewolf in London for the first time this year. it made me laugh and it was pretty gory. i only got scared for a moment when Jack was attacked.
@bijouxbroussard Check the 1997 one the first movie only. There's part 2 and 3 but they have totally different cast and different stories they have nothing to do with the first one.

Not favorite maybe, but the one that scared me the most for sure.. [media=https://youtu.be/3p0KIrh8hyM]
The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I consider this a perfect horror movie with the acting, the atmosphere, the writing. Everything about is is creepy AF [media=https://youtu.be/SyqfjW5iRcM]
@bijouxbroussard There's just something...off about the whole thing, just intangible. To not be able to get why something spooks you....THAT is scary. There is also very little score, certainly nothing when all hell is breaking loose, so to speak, Add to that the unusual amount of people who died while making it and some of William Friedkin's behavior and you have.....a classic horror film.
I watched this aged about 10 with my brother. Scared the living shit out of me. Jenny agutter became my first celebrity crush. A cameo in the pub scene from a sadly missed british comedy great rik mayall.
