love all horror films....
recently seen dawn of the dead and shaun of the dead (both excellent!)
and am I the only person getting over excited at the the new vampire/wolfman & frankie' movie?? and with Hugh Jackman (I may well have died and gone to heaven and not figured it out yet!)
please let me know of any great horrors that you may have seen...especially ones that made you jump! or better still are plausable! :D
happy chatting (or should that be screaming!)

I'm not a great lover of 'Stalk & Slash' movies although there are quite a few i do like.
Haven't seen the new Dawn of the Dead but quite enjoyed the original...
I have to admit I do like the old Hammer films.
'Fraid i'm more of a Sci-Fi nut
love em to death most scary ever seen was the exorcist seen when it was first released but very dissapointed when seen again many years later

Hammer horrors are just too classic!!! they are def the best!
think they were what got me hooked!
love sci fi too... but!
am looking forward to the new Van Helsing!
Can't say i am very into horror films afraid.. seen a few i think.
i remember liking "dracula" with gary oldman and wino ryder :)
"the crow" is gut.. not quite horror but dark and revengey, how they set up the things ppl seek revenge for strong and dark, course i suppose it would have to be ;)
I think i'm a bit like HN too, i used to watch a few of those but theres alot i really don't want to see in films lately.
Not really horror but i found "kill bill" a bit much really too, very strong.
I've turned into a "care-bear" lately :P, softy just want to watch a happy "rom-edy" :) .. or something like "bring up baby" .. light and fluffy.
i must be getting "old & out of touch", not even heard of some of the films ppl talking about :P
I love Vampire films, I have 300+ films in my collection & the largest amount are Vampire related.
Slightly weird I may be but I had some fangs made up a few years ago & wear them sometimes when I go out after dark :D
I love the old Hammer films. I'm a big big fan of the late Peter Cushing, and of Christopher Lee too. I was really little when I first saw Peter Cushing as Van Helsing... I took to running at the curtains and trying to pull them down to let in the light. When I was seven my teacher made us all stand up and say aloud what we wanted to be when we grew up... there was the fireman, engine driver, prime minister... then me, the vampire hunter. I got sent outside and made to stand in the corridor until I stopped being silly :(
Modern horrors are just too scary... Jeepers Creepers scared the life out of me... not the sequel though.

I don't find horrors made in the last few years scary at all :( I think good ideas are in short supply at the moment from seeing all the remakes that are popping up recently.
I heard a rumour that the original Halloween film is going to be remade, I'd understand if it was Halloween 3 cause that was an awful filmbut the original that started the series doesn't need to be redone.
Like Ribbit I just love all the old hammer films.One that stuck in my mind and scared the sh#t out of me ( I was only 10 and supposed to be asleep) it showed a little girl having a lovely birthday party and all of a sudden all the pipes in the house gurgled and then expolded with BLOOD....................uurrrggg
Can' remember the name though???????????????

I love classic horror, but can't get away with much of the modern stuff at all :P
The one that freaked me out was "The Medusa Touch", it was more freaky than horror I guess, saw it when I was 10 after being told not to by the parents, and I was awake with nightmares! It was on Skys new Horror Channel the other week, still awful. Brrrrr :lol:
Love Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, don't they scare you just to look at them.
Oh and Freddy from Nightmare on Elm Street, doesn't Robert Englund who plays him look so much like him in real life?? :lol:
it showed a little girl having a lovely birthday party and all of a sudden all the pipes in the house gurgled and then expolded with BLOOD
Wasn't that one of the Hammer Horror programmes they showed on TV years ago... there were a series of them. That one was where a family bought a house and stuff started happening, and they found out it was because a man had killed his wife there... or something like that. The first one in the series had Peter Cushing in, as a chap who kept wild animals caged in a basement or something... there was one with a man in a raincoat and claw-like fingernails (oh that one freaked me out! :blink: ).
I've got a Peter Cushing life mask on the wall in the hallway... interesting to see people's reactions when they come fact to face with him. :lol:

i brought a couple of dvd's:
dark water and the eye
part of the asian tartan extreme films like the ring, ring 2 and audition.
any recommendations for good horror films that will scare me as opposed to making me laugh like they normally do.
Not seen/ heard much about those films... i've not watched it but apparently the original japanese film "ringu" is much better.
I've always found films in which things seem real or possible much scarier.
Alien is still the best creepy monster film i think i've seen :)

i have the original ring and ring 2 (japaneese) on video that i taped off tv but whilst slighty "ewwww/oh my god" they didnt scare me. the only horror ive ever watched that scared me is the shining and only because its a disturing film. especially the dogman in the ballroom. thats not right.
