Hello Fright Fiends! (gotta love the Crypt Keeper) We all have favorite scary movies---well, most of us. They cause us to emit a range of emotions: fear, disbelief, anger, disgust, and in some cases, even laughter. I have several favorites, and I'm going to list a few---well, 30. They are in no discernable order:
1.) The Exorcist-1973

7.) Tales From the Crypt Presents Demon Knight-1995
8.) Creepshow I-1982
9.) Creepshow II-1987
10.) Silver Bullet-1985

Here is one of my favorite horror movie scenes. I love The Exorcist!
There you have it. My list goes on and on, but I was forced to narrow it to 30. I only named a few. There are classics and newer movies I like, but I could not name them all. So, what's your favorite scary movie? You can name more than one, but please limit the number. Don't go all crazy like I did.

My list is so-oo much shorter. LOL.

The Changeling. Terrifying. Even after seeing it several times, and watching it in the middle of the afternoon while folding laundry it creeped me the heck out.
Carrie, The Stand, Omega Man, Lost Boys, Alien, and that's all I can think of that I really enjoyed.
And I recently ran across this site for zombie film lovers:

Oh, and I forgot Army of Darkness!
Gwyneth,
Can you name any? :*)
December,
I still haven't seen it. I can't find it in the video store. Does it go under another name?
Written,
Army of Darkness was more comedy. Ash was hilarious. (Remember, "Gimme some sugar, baby.") LOL. The Evil Dead 2 was better. Have you seen it?
Dang it! December stole my #1 horror movie. But if this doesn't confirm its awesomeness, I don't know what does. You need to get The Changeling.
Go here. It's less than $8. No shipping charge! You will not regret it.
(dang, I should work for those people)
For something newer, I liked High Tension. It's in French, but man...what's a crazya$$ movie.
Forgot the link:

Friday 13th - pretty much all of them, except Jason X. That took it too far...
I also love the Evil Dead series and some of the really old Vincent Price movies - House on Haunted Hill and The Abominable Doctor Phibes.
You are a woman after my own heart! :-*
There are a zillion more, of course. Rosemary's Baby, The Sentinel, Devil's Rain (I like 'em cheezy!)...
OOOOOH, there are some good ones on there, for sure. Several of your picks would have made my list of favorites, as well:
The Exorcist
Children of the Corn
Poltergeist
Silver Bullet
The People Under the Stairs
The Lost Boys
Some others I would add:
Pet Sematary
The Stand
Bram Stoker's Dracula
28 Days Later
The Ring
How do you DO it? I can't stand horror movies! I mean, I have "Misery" on my desk and I can't bear to watch it. I know, THIS makes me a super wimp, especially since it has THREE of my favorite actors.
Really, I should get WITH it.
Okay, so maybe you have a primer? What horror movies should a wimp like me start with?
Yes, all the Evil Dead movies are hilarious. My favorite line: "This is my BOOMSTICK!" LOL.
If you haven't seen Sean of the Dead, do so. Hilarious. Bound to be a cult classic.
Thomas,
Thanks for the link for the Changeling. On 'Supernatural' (my favorite show!) the other night, they featured Changelings on it. Scary. I loved 'High Tension' as well. It was nuts! :*)
Naomi,
I absolutely love Vincent Price!! :*)
Heather,
I had too many to name! See, I knew there was a reason I liked you. 'Prince of Darkness' and 'The Unholy' were on my list as well. :*)
David,
The others that you named were my favorites as well. Of course I love 'The Stand'. Who doesn't? It's great! :*)
Kanani,
Since you are a wimp, start out with a kid's spooky movie, one of my favorites as well. Ray Bradbury's 'Something Wicked This Way Comes.' I love it!! :*)
Written,
I love the boomstick line too! And the one about she-bi!*h! LOL! Too funny! :*)
Almost forgot, Written. I have seen 'Sean of the Dead.' I loved it! Too funny! :*)
