I like the Hammer studio productions of Dracula with Christopher Lee. There were so many.

Here are some...

Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966)

Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970)

Scars of Dracula (1970)

Dracula (1958)

I also like some more recent Japanese horror films such as THE RING and THE GRUDGE. I liked THE MUMMY and it's sequal with Brendan Fraser.  Some Vincent Price films were entertaining such as THEATER OF BLOOD.

ROSEMARY'S BABY would be my favorite on that list we could select from.

I don't go to the theater much to see scary films, but I did enjoy THE SKELEON KEY. Even liked it better when I saw it again on DVD. I also enjoyed THE OTHERS.

I love both of those, CellarDweller.  There's a lot of social commentary as subtext in Night of The Living Dead.  And The Changling is a great haunted house movie.  One of the best.  Another is The Legend of Hell House


Hiya Gary!

Glad you liked my picks!  Changeling is one creepy movie.  I played it for a bunch of friends a few Halloweens  ago (they had not seen it) and they were freaked out.


David, I hope you find it, and watch it, and report back when you do!


Tell him when l come up to him and ask to play the record, l'm gonna say: ''Voulez-vous jouer ce disque?''

Will you play my record? One-track mind!

Wow, I love horror movies but not the hack and slash ones.
Ilikethe creeoy ones where you want to sleep withthe light on!

Here are some of my fav's in no particular order

The Other- Not to be confused with Nichole Kidmans "the others". This Movie was about a set of twin boys. It was bizarre!

I loved "The Legend of Hell House  with Roddy McDowell

The Salems Lot from the 70's. Still Creeps me out.

The Stand - Not really scary but a great movie.

Screams of a Winters Night - Saw this as a kid in the 70's and scared the crap out of me. Stillhave nightmares about it.

Ghost Story- Good old fashioned scary movie.

Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte- More mystery than horror but a great movie.

There were many I saw as a kid that I can't remember the names of but the scenes still haunt my dreams!

Someone has already mentioned The Others I think.  How about The Sixth Sense

And what about Silence of the Lambs?  Maybe it isn't exactly a horor story, but it's one of the scariest movies I've ever seen.

OMG---That is one scary guy--Buffalo Bill!! Yes, that is a terrifying movie, Gary. What about "Seven" -- and "CopyCat" -- both of those scared me, too!  :o

"Halloween" is my favorite of the ones listed. I love the music -- watched it last night. Creepy!

         I thought     PSYCHO  was awsome.

         I thought     THE EXORCIST   was well done.  I read the book first.  Its hard for a movie to measure up.  But
                                                   this one did.
        
                            WAIT UNTIL DARK   With Audrey Hepburn was good, and she played very well off type.

                             ROSEMARY'S BABY.   Was very suspenseful and scary.

My favourite horror film of all time is Salems Lot......scared the crap out of me. I still read the book too. Brilliant film with David Soul and James Mason as Straker.

That is my favorite SK novel...scared the fecal matter of me, but was very dissapointed in both the TV versions of it.

I have the full length version on video, 3 hours. Brilliant.
