BTW does anyone know why the Purina logo is used in the first film? Is it meant to be a future Purina Corp divested into space industrial ventures? |

Not sure if it's classed as a "horror movie" but the scariest thing I have ever watched is the BBC docu-drama Threads

Ingmar Bergman's 'Vargtimmen' has some excellent horror scenes. Especially the one where an old woman's ghost takes off her face and puts her eyes into a wineglass.

Hmmmm...I thought the first 2 Hellraisers were pretty darn scary, and The Ring. The Exorcist is an all-time favorite (both the book and the movie were great). I also have a soft spot for The Thing (1982 Kurt Russell version), particularly when the decapitated head grows spider legs and scurries off under the table, and I thought the ending was done quite well.
In another vein, I enjoy old Karloff and Lugosi movies from Universal Studios, as well as the incredible work of Lon Chaney Sr. in such silents as Phantom of the Opera, Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Penalty. Also, other silents like Nosferatu and The Box of Dr. Caligari.

'The Cabinet of Dr, Caligari' is amongst my all-time favourite films but I never quite considered it as a horror movie. More of psychological thriller, methinks.

I don't think of it as horror genre per se, as it's more of a suspense/ mystery/ thriller type film to me; however, I think it sufficiently ominous while knowing something bad is going to happen to put it under the wider horror umbrella. Like with music, I tend to like films that mix genres or or rather non-generic. One film fave of mine that I failed to note is The Hunger: Not many seem to like this film, but I love it. |

Ahhhhhhh! Discussion I can get into!
Well I have two choices, both are controversial and it may seem like a cop out that I have two, but one may not be considered a horror movie. 1. Jacob's Ladder: Perhaps my favorite film ever and one that lends itself to multiple viewings. It may seem confusing if you are not familiar of where it draws inspiration from (the Tibetan Book of the Dead and the Obvious biblical story of Jacob's Ladder respectively). Honestly, even if you aren't a horror movie fan, give it a view! You'll likely be intrigued at the very least. Also, this was inspiration for the Silent Hill video games (especially 2, which is my favorite of the bunch). 2. The Blair Witch Project: Very controversial, and often dismissed as a "vomit film", The Blair Witch Project is a brilliant film. One I can honestly call a 'horror' movie and not just a black comedy with scary elements. Oh yes, it's tedious to watch, but also very engrossing if you're really into it. Imagination and atmosphere thrive here, and it can be genuinely frightening to picture yourself in the same scenario as these kids. Runners up: Evil Dead 2, Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Exorcist III (better than the first one *dodges stones*), and many many more. n.n

I had completely forgotten about this (ironic, given how disturbing it is) Threads manages that rare feat we touched upon earlier in the thread of conveying a communal or collective/social type of horror c/f the powerless, defenseless individual etc |

And no news is good news but we take it anyway ... yeah I don't know what that means.
As for Blair Witch, saw in a theater and enjoyed it, highly original and yet a story so universal and aching to be told, such a ring of truth about being young and scared and lost in the woods, I'm surprised it took someone that long to make it. The ending was a bit abrupt and anticlimactic, but that's my only complaint. |

There was a STUPID wanna-be horror flick by Rob Zombie - I can't recall its title, but it was a huge waste of my time. I'd rather have listened to a One Direction disc 2 times over, and that's saying something......

I have to interject and say I loved Prometheus. But as for horror I love The Descent. Such an awesome concept. And the last 30 min. are wicked fun. PIG SQUEELING BREE BREE!!!

Definitely Nosferatu. Here's a video that I used it to enhance a song from my old band:
