I'm surprised no one has said Exorcist or Poltergeist.

Phantasm

I love the phantasm movies even though they got silly.

Army Of Darkness is not a scary movie at for those who have not seen it.
They play off more of the humor side with Ash, even with that said they are better than the first two as far as camera work and budget.

The second half of the Exorcist will always stand out to me. Even watching it today the makeup/effects hold up just as good as anything that has came since IMO.

Friday the 13th...when it originally came out was a trip...that last part with the young jason jumping out of the canoe.

I like most zombie movies...really liked Shaun of the Dead for the humor.

However the remake of Dawn of the Dead with Ving Rhames was killer because they increased the budget, made the zombies better because they could run and yet they did not over hollywood it like they do some movies. It is one of the very few newer horror movies I have seen in a long time that has impressed me a great deal.

Shaun of the Dead

It's a perfect mix of zombies, horror and humor. Add to that a pretty cool soundtrack and you have a winner.

No doubt. Shuan of the Dead was one of the best surprises I've ever had as far as movies go. I hadn't heard anything about it when I watched it, so I wasn't expecting much...

Gotta love some subtle humor.

Army of Darkness rules too. I also like some of the stuff Rob Zombie has been making.

The Exorcist was funny. Didn't see it until like 6 years ago. Laughed pretty good a few times there.

As for my favorite scary movie...

Scary movie 3...it sucked a little less than the other 3.

Seriously, I can't say there really is such a thing as a scary movie to me, and the ones that try to be scary for the most part really really suck. Especially recently. Saw is ok. The Ring was pretty good. All these other cheesy ones are horrible though (this includes Wrong Turn, Hostel, Cabin Fever, House of Wax). Other more serious and less campy ones like The Grudge, and Dark Water are rather poor as well. It's just a very weak genre.

If I have to pick a movie, I'm gonna pick one I'm not even sure counts even though it has vampires.

From Dusk Til Dawn.

I forgot my other favorite. Jaws.

I've thrown a couple of parties where we watch it in the swimming pool floating on inner tubes, rafts, etc. Nothing like watching Jaws while you are in water.

A local theater here in Austin called The Alamo Drafthouse presents a rolling road show. They go out to different venues and show movies related to those places. For example, they showed The Big Lebowski at a bowling alley.

Every summer they show Jaws out on the lake. They have a few scuba divers in the water that go around and tug on people's legs. They have also shown Open Water in this format.

They showed The Texas Chainsaw Massacre out in the woods. If I am not mistaken, it was in the area where the original movie was filmed.

A recent movie, The Descent, which I liked was shown in some caves near Marble Falls.

This kind of thing adds to the movie.

Sounds very cool. I'd like to do the Jaws one.

I love all scary movies...Some obviously are better than others.

But since it's Halloween...I'll go with the classic.

Halloween is my favorite...

I also like Lost Boys, Jeepers Creepers 2, Nightmare on Elm Street 1, Evil Dead, Blair Witch 1 and many others...

The Crow is also a good Halloween movie...

Blair Witch

At the end when she's screaming and sees Mike in the Basement corner then gets killed still gives me goosebumps.

Troy Smith gives you goosebumps too!

 

[Khartun]

Alien and Aliens are some of the best ever.

You Bastid that made me laugh!:laugh2:

 

[the kid 05]

any of the barney movies....god that guy scares me to death...

 

[Aikmaniac]

Halloween is my favorite.

There's nothing like the atmosphere Carpenter created with little to no blood at all.

That music...it still gets me today.

Too bad it's associated with such bad sequels but the original is just fantastic.

Interested to see what Rob Zombie does with the remake.

It's a little known fact that that is actually our own Juke99...

Nothing about that movie gave me goosebumps or scared me. I fell asleep watching it.

Agreed, one of the worst movies ever...IMO.
