Favourite horror film?

the shining. one of my favorite horror books too. I absolutely love horror movies so I'll probably be creeping this thread for awhile to see if anyone has any good ones I should watch!
 
can't say I've watched a whole lot of horror, but I have a hard time believing that anything could top Suspiria's phenomenal usage of color and lighting direction for me

I really like silence of the lambs and rosemary baby, I like the horror movies which aren't all about jumscares. The classics are my favourite.
 
I don't know, i always watch horrors but I don't have a favorite. I like psychological horrors much more than gore-y films/slashers, I need to find some good horror movies that are actually scary

Have you seen misery? It's a great psychological horror.
 
Late 60s and 70s horror is my favorite.

I love Girly, Tourist Trap, Alice Sweet Alice, and Amityville Horror.
 
hm, dunno what;s my favorite, but which ones scared me the most or made me the most tense...

the original Japanese versions of Pulse and The Grudge...

John Carpenter's The Thing...

Audition (omg my whole body was covered in sweat)

Nightmare on Elm Street coz that's the first movie i remember where victims get killed via dreaming...

this is crossing threads, but that Aliens movie was a horror movie to me...

oh yeah- Phantasm!
 
the thing, the shining, mullholland drive

I don't know if I consider Mulholland Dr. a horror movie but the man behind Winkie's gave me the most visceral reaction ever. My whole body tensed up and I thought I was screaming but I didn't make any noise. I'm not kidding when I say I didn't sleep for days. Aw man, I love that movie so much.

A lot of people say that the distorted face at the end of Inland Empire is more traumatic but it didn't really phase me. But, man. That guy behind Winkie's...

Other than Muholland Drive I would have to go with Rosemary's Baby.

EXCELLENT taste, I love how you classified Mullholland Drive as a horror flick - it's one of my favorite movies
thanks! yea I don't know if it truly fits the definition of a horror film but it definitely got under my skin and stayed there

Agreed, I really love the entire diner scene. the atmosphere of dread lynch was able to create is amazing
 
I think my favorite would have to be The Ring. I liked the backstory to it and how it's more of a psychological type of movie that messes with your mind than gore. I don't mind gore but there's too many that focus on it more nowadays like Final Destination.

I remember Mirrors freaked me out lmao

Do horror/comedies count? If so, then the Scary Movie series is great fun. My favorite would be Scary Movie 3, it's hilarious.
