The Thing with Kurt Russell

BreadWarlock · 31-35, M

@Chrys72tine he kicks ass in that movie

GeniUs · 56-60, M

@Chrys72tine "You've got to be fucking kidding."
Best line ever in any film.

Chrys72tine · 51-55, F

Lol

Jenna1990 · 31-35, F

Nightmare on elm Street movies always scare me

BreadWarlock · 31-35, M

@Jenna1990 I enjoy them all except 1 in the franchise haha

Jacko1971 · 51-55, M

@BreadWarlock the first was the best. It was an original story. The rest were all too similar. Two of the later films (4&5 I think) starred a girl called Tuesday Night.

GeniUs · 56-60, M

Phantasm
But they never finished the series of films.

BreadWarlock · 31-35, M

@GeniUs the tall man always creeped me out

AbbySvenz · F

The Thing

BreadWarlock · 31-35, M

@AbbySvenz love this movie

Torsten · 36-40, M

Amityville Horror (original)
Halloween (original)
Nightmare on Elm St (original)
Texas chainsaw remake (original)

BreadWarlock · 31-35, M

@Torsten excellent taste 👌🏻

Jacko1971 · 51-55, M

@Torsten the original Amityville is very good. It's based on a true story. The sequel wasn't bad either.
The original Nightmare On Elm Street is an all time classic. The acting is terrible though. It was the first film with Johnny Depp in. I didn't mind the recent remake.

TexChik · F

It was an old B&W movie . An alien craft crashed on earth and it killed everyone on board. The only thing left was a severed alien hand . It crawled around by its fingers . It would attack unsuspecting people by protruding a needle out of its finger and ramming it into its victim’s brain, turning them into new alien monsters . For a little girl with ptsd and a newby to television , it was quite horrifying . 🤦🏻‍♀️

BreadWarlock · 31-35, M

@TexChik sounds terrifying, I'll have to look into this one

TexChik · F

@BreadWarlock It definitely creeped me out.

@smileylovesgaming I saw Child's Play at the pictures. I wouldn't want to watch it again.

smileylovesgaming · 31-35, F

@Jacko1971 which child play did u watch. The 1988 or the 2019?

Jacko1971 · 51-55, M

@smileylovesgaming the first one. I was 17 in 1988 so that would be about right.

spjennifer · 61-69, T

RIP William Friedkin, director of The Exorcist has passed away at 87.

BizSuitStacy · M

The original Night of the Living Dead from 1968.

BreadWarlock · 31-35, M

@BizSuitStacy that opening scene is classic

BizSuitStacy · M

@BreadWarlock

Bignakedguy · 31-35, M

Invasion of the body snatchers 1978

One of my favorites.

GeniUs · 56-60, M

@Bignakedguy Ending is absolute class and makes a great meme too!

Iwillwait · M

Those are both really good. "The Devil's Rejects," , "The House At The End Of The Street," were both pretty good too.

BreadWarlock · 31-35, M

@Iwillwait pretty solid choice in my opinion 👌🏻

oldercanuck1 · 70-79, M

BreadWarlock · 31-35, M

BreadWarlock · 31-35, M

@SW-User I'll have to check this one out!

DavidT8899 · 22-25, M

Interesting that you mentioned those two movies;I know a fact that pertains to both of them.

DavidT8899 · 22-25, M

@BreadWarlock They were briefly considering a Hellraiser/Halloween crossover where Michael ends up becoming a Cenobite.

BreadWarlock · 31-35, M

@DavidT8899 oh that's right I remember hearing something like that. That would have been really cool!

DavidT8899 · 22-25, M

@BreadWarlock But they couldn't work out the legal issues since the franchise are owned by two different companies.

jackrabbit10 · M

Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. shower scene, in the Bates Motel,, some women didn't close the shower door for years after the movie,

BreadWarlock · 31-35, M

@jackrabbit10 with very good reason lol

SW-User

The Manchurian Candidate (1962), a twisty political thriller that anticipates the madness of current American politics.

BreadWarlock · 31-35, M

@SW-User surprisingly I still have this on my to watch list. I'll check it out asap

Patriot96 · 56-60, C

I read the Exorcist before i saw the movie so i laughed during the movie. My imagination was scarier than the movie

soar2newhighs

@Patriot96 Rarely do movies impact you the way the books they were based on did. Ever read Pet Semetary then see the movie?! Not the same.

Jacko1971 · 51-55, M

28 Days Later is a very good film if you like zombie films. I saw it at the pictures. It has a great cast.

BreadWarlock · 31-35, M

@Jacko1971 Very good movie in that genre

SW-User

I like almost all of the Hammer classics from the 60s, plus the Roger Corman Poe movies.

BreadWarlock · 31-35, M

@SW-User anything with Christopher Lee and/or Peter Cushing is always awesome.

SW-User

@BreadWarlock I'm also a Vincent Price fan.

ShiftingGears · 46-50, M

Two great choices for scary movies. "The Town That Dreaded Sundown" and "The Prowler".

BreadWarlock · 31-35, M

@ShiftingGears excellent choices

PhilDeep · 51-55, M

I think they are both excellent. Alien and The Shining spring to mind.

BreadWarlock · 31-35, M

@PhilDeep Alien is so good 👍

hunkalove · 61-69, M

Anything with Barbra Streisand or Whoopi Goldberg scares me silly!

Highskirt · 56-60, M

@Highskirt I thought it was rather corny.The remake had more genuine tension.You know what I mean by the original,right?

Highskirt · 56-60, M

@DavidT8899 im sure there was a black and white one ....i liked the version with kurt Russell

DavidT8899 · 22-25, M

@Highskirt That's the one I'm talking about.That was the first remake from the original 50s' movie.There was another remake with a female lead that was terrible.

Jacko1971 · 51-55, M

I saw In The Mouth of Madness at the pictures. That was horrible.

BreadWarlock · 31-35, M

@Jacko1971 it's different but I enjoyed it

spjennifer · 61-69, T

The Exorcist, Rosemarie's Baby and The Birds! 😵‍💫

@Jacko1971 Hanes her way or Jockey for her? Good looking lady.

Jacko1971 · 51-55, M

@soar2newhighs she was prepared to do that scene in the buff but the studio wouldn't allow it.

soar2newhighs

@Jacko1971 Got to leave something to the imagination.

Patriot96 · 56-60, C

Alien

BreadWarlock · 31-35, M

@Patriot96 always a good go to

SStarfish ·

Id don't like scary movies.. i have a least fav one thats creepy af but maybe its just more personal to me because its asian people ..

soar2newhighs

I didn’t find it “Scary”, but I’d go with The EXORCIST.

smileylovesgaming · 31-35, F

@soar2newhighs I have heard that was a really scary movie back then. I just had to buy it and I have to agree it wasn't scary

GerOttman · 61-69, M

The Exorcist or Jaws

Falconsolo · 26-30, M

basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M

The Shining
Hellraiser
Session 9
Insidious
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Perfect Blue

Basically loads of psychological horror usually, with TCM being an exception.

BreadWarlock · 31-35, M

@basilfawlty89 awesome choices. I still need to see perfect blue

V00doo

Jaws

BreadWarlock · 31-35, M

@V00doo that movie is why I never feel safe in the water lol

caesar7 · 61-69, M

The one that stands out was the original Exorcist during my youth.

BreadWarlock · 31-35, M

@caesar7 I can only imagine how that was in theater release

DavidT8899 · 22-25, M

@caesar7 That was the all-time best horror movie.

@BlueGreenGrey First time I saw "The Birds" I think I was about 10 and it scared the hell out of me!

This message was deleted by its author.

spjennifer · 61-69, T

@BlueGreenGrey Well, it's all about time and context. With all of the horror movies that came out in the 70's and 80's we became inured to it. Once you'd seen The Exorcist, Halloween, Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street, The Birds wouldn't have been very scary compared to some of those...
