Horror Movies?

How about adding another list in your openingspost of your favourite horrormovies so far? Makes it easier to suggest and is nice for me as a reference, since I`m looking for more horrormovies as well.

That sounds nice. I'll edit the front page with my favorites.
 
House on Haunted Hill/The Haunting-Vincent Price versions. Also his disc of short scary stories by Hawthorne and Poe.

I got really confused by the list in the OP. So I dug and dug until I found where these two titles got merged together.

Vincent Price wasn't in The Haunting. Although the '63 version does sound like it'd be right up his alley! c:
Also there are three movies by that title, and one is nothing like the others. One is trying to be a horror movie, but it's certainly a comedy.

There's the one from '63 about a sleep study gone awry.
There's a remake of that (which I love and adore and highly recommend).
And one that's very obviously voice acted by Siri. Siri has postpartum depression. (this movie is hilarious and I highly recommend it for the giggles).


Anyhow. That aside, lol.

Personal favorites for me are insane asylum movies, and I really liked Insanitarium. It's truly a hidden gem. You can't go wrong with a "mad doctor experimenting on the patients" movie. Especially when the first fellow crazy guy we meet just feels like Hannibal Lecter reincarnate. I still need to get Boyfriend to watch it with me. Oh, and if any movie short of a Saw/Hostel style torture movie needs a gore tag, it's this one. Sometimes it feels like they put more guts on-screen just to have more guts on-screen.

That's probably why I loved the remake of House on Haunted Hill so much; I just really loved the story behind it. Dr. Vannacut was a wonderful addition.


Also a fan of coma movies. As cheesy as they are, as awkward as their timelines are.. I love the way they portray being caught in this hellish limbo between life and death. They weren't very well-received by critics, likely for those very reasons.. but I adored Room 6 and Soul Survivors.
 
I actually fixed the front page so you can easily see or find movies. If it's still not that good, I'll fix it again.

The list does need slightly more organized structure wise, due to side comments and putting same director together,ect. I did not intend it so long so will review that. You are right to point out however that the original Haunting was the one I was referring to, the 63' and it accidentally fell with Price. Will correct. Thanks for pointing this out, as if I mistake an actor/director when going quickly I like to fix it. And will look at the structure as there are many good films in there so will double check how the listing formatted.

As a an aside; as far as older coma films, The Dead Zone is not bad but I wouldn't call it terrifying, the Christopher Walken film based on the Steven King novel. Not the tv show that came later, though that is enjoyable is not the same. was more of a crime show loosely based.

My aunt who is a horror movie FANATIC told me Grudge was the scariest horror movie she's seen. Do any of you agree?

The American version has it's fans, and some find it very scary. The original film it is based on, is an Asian film I would say Japanese but may be incorrect. Would need to lookup to be sure of director and country. If you look up the Grudge though you will find many comments on the film it was remade from which is said to be much more terrifying.

The American remake not bad though, also as same time period reminded me The Skeleton Key is not a bad one.
