So lately i've caught the Horror bug and have been pouring through both old and new horror movies alike. This all started whenever I watched The Shining for the first time last month, and since then i've been looking for something similar to that all over the genre spectrum.
So D&D, what horror movies interest you? Are you more of a traditional horror enthusiast or more akin to the new class stuff?
Sorry about the bare-bones OP, i'll make sure to come up with a much better one later today.

Horror movies are the best. Even when they suck they're pretty good.
If sound frightens you, it will be terrifying. Otherwise, I would avoid it.
Also, after a character gives a speech on a radio near the end, just shut the film off. That should ahve been the true ending, but they ruin it with what comes afterwards.
The Thing -- scifi horror
Candyman -- urban legends/psychological(?)
Lake Mungo -- mockumentary horror
The Sixth Sense -- ghosts among us
Has anyone seen Panic Button? I saw a review of it on AICN and the premise sounded really cool.
You know what else? This cheesy-as-fuck movie called Dolls. It's an atmospheric psychological thriller exploring the depths of human fear and what such fear might drive one to do in- Ha, no I'm just kidding. It's about evil dolls that kill people because that's what evil dolls do. Most of it is pretty by-the-book, but there's a scene near the end where:
I saw it when I was a wee-ish lad, and that image just scared the almighty fuck out of me. I caught the movie on TV awhile back and when it got to that part I actually left the room on account of I am a big weenie.
Anyway, fun movie, suitably creepy if you are the sort who finds dolls creepy anyway (read: a normal person).
edit: Ooh, you know what's fun? Watch that movie with someone and then wait for them to go to the bathroom and position a few dolls right outside the bathroom door with steak knives taped into their hands. Then get sent straight to bed because you did it to your mom and she has a poor sense of humor.

When a monster/serial killer stalks sensible people, the horror movie is great. See: The Thing. The original Halloween.
Paranormal Activity is worth one viewing, although I was mightily disappointed after all the hype.
Yo tambien.
i'm still not sure why either of us thought that was a good idea. but it was a really good movie. one of my favourite horror films.
apparently [REC] is the scariest film ever made, according to everyone who's watched it that I've spoken with. it's hyped to the point where I honestly don't want to watch it. i don't want to be that scared.
I...I don't know what this means.

I should probably give [REC] a try. Only one movie has ever scared me to the point that it actually changed me forever. And it's not even a scary movie, really, but I saw Arachnophobia when I was 11 and I've been arachnophobic ever since. Fucking spiders.
The plot gets pretty weird, actually.
I've seen many of the movies listed, and since I've been on my horror kick quite recently too!
However, out of all the horror movies I've seen, the one that was the most terrifying and uncomfortable to watch has to go to The Strangers. That one stayed with me for days, and I had more than a few uncomfortable nights of sleep over it.
I'm kind of glad I picked this time to start my horror kick; there's nothing really being hyped or thrown in my face via advertising, so I'm able to judge without sway. One movie that really surprised me at how good it was is Paranormal Activity; everything about the flick just worked for me.
That's true, but you can get 90 full minutes of the exact same thing by watching Event Horizon.
The only thing I remember from that movie (I saw it when I was around 10) is the group hernia exam of the football team. It was just a bizarre scene. But I never played football in high school so maybe that's just something that's done. :rotate:

Not a huge fan of horror, but I love me some sci-fi psychological thrills.

I actually loved that. Lead to a real feeling of what the hell is going on and why are things getting worse oh noooooooo
Never seen the sequel, though. Might fix that this week.

I mean, how do you make a single 2 & 1/2 hour film of IT.
There's just too much plot.
Yeah true, that film is great! Loves it!
Though really, if someone was to provide me 90 minutes of the middle third of Sunshine - that would be even better.
