Scariest movies for the season!
So, I think there was a thread about this last year, but I'll be damned if I can find it (and yes I did look).
Looking for some input on scary movies people have seen that gf and I can watch before my favourite day of celebratory evil of the year... Halloween.
Checked IMDB's list and we've both seen them all or most of them at least a few times. (we're big horror fans, but there's gotta be some we've missed.)
Ideas please...

New and final saw movie, paranormal activity 2.:)
Hate theaters. Always some idiot yapping away or answering a cel. Challenges the strength of my meddies that control my rage outbursts.
On top of that, the local theater here in town only runs during the summer. That's life in small town Ontario. Closest theater is far enough away it makes me go 'meh' to the idea of driving that far.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand to cap it off, most new 'in theater' movies are garbage these days especially horror.
Watched one of the SAW movies with her. Can't remember which one it was. Didn't really appreciate it as much as I thought it would. Seemed more of a how many ways can we rip a human body apart with various metal implements. No story whatsoever. I like Gore, just not bulk gore with nothing else mentally intriguing.
I really should look up some of the Italian horror genre movies. They've been known to have some of the best horror flicks of all time.
But, the best I can recommend:
"The Orphanage" - a spanish horror flick, great for a mind fuck
"Let the Right One In" - Swedish vampire movie recently re-made into "Let me in", but I'm sure not nearly as good.
If you're into the torture-porn kinda flicks, "The Human Centipede" is.... a movie
But for pure gore-fun!? "Dod Snow" or "Dead Snow" is a Nazi-zombie romp that is delightful!

Zombieland was entertaining, but not a horror flick.
Mark
False
Trust me... I'm an expert

This was a good movie! I've probably watched it like 4x now.
If you want classic / you should have seen these flicks the standards (and some not so standards)
Evil Dead 2
Friday the 13th part 1 (it is better than you remember it)
The Ring (I've heard Ringu - the japanese original - is better, but can't vouch)
Candyman
Poltergeist*
* I keep meaning to watch this again myself - it really is amazing
Mark
OMG I thought I was the only one.
I liked Last House on the Left, original and remake, although I have a huge crush on Monica Potter.
Philly mentioned Paranormal Activity 2. This one will probably scare the crappola out of me by the looks of it. Never even knew there was a first one out.
Poltergiest all good.
Haven't seen a GOOD VAMPIRE movie in a long time.
Dracula with OLDMAN and Hopkins is good but not Scary. More of a Vampire love story.
Dracula 2000 was another good one.
Omen series another classic. and the Changeling .
Props for Dracula 2000 - better than it deserves to be, and actually has an EXCELLENT take on the vampire mythos.
And they don't sparkle

Every time my wife and daughter watch it, it scares the bejesus out of me

ISAIDGOODDAY !!!
Just got the original Hellraiser all ready to go! It was great the first time I saw it years ago. The second one was good too, but then it went straight down the old hell hole.
Should give the original Friday the 13th a shot again. Jason has always been my hero in a strange sort of way.
Will check out some of the other suggestions for sure. The Orphanage sounds interesting.
Seen a few of those mentioned way too many times.
Watched The Exorcist 3 on acid when I was younger. That could be interesting to revisit! Hopefully no flashbacks happen! The first one I can practically recite the script from memory because it was simply awesome. The second one sucks which was really disappointing.
That the one with subglasses boy from CSI? Heard good things...
Mark
Tonight, going for Hellraiser II as this may be all we have time for tonight.
Will check out others mentioned throughout the week, although from the weather outside the xmas movies might be on tap soon!
That's the one. I think you'd like it.
I assume you enjoyed The Walking Dead as much as I did Sunday evening?
There's a replay this Friday on AMC for anyone who missed it.
This movie scares the crap out of me. Just sayin'.
I recently re-watched "Repo: The Genetic Opera"... it's not a horror flick per se, but it's really quite good on repeated watchings.
Mark
I know, I know it's over a month away!
Anyone have any opinions as to whether anything of any quality came out since this thread was last addressed?
Now that's scary.
While searching for this one and the even older one, I found a bunch of threads he'd posted in. Why the hell did he insist on using such a weird font in 20point text? Good riddance.
I know for a fact that we had two threads about this subject with the other one being far superior as we had a really good list going. It's gone though from the looks of things.
Nonononono . . . it's not gone . . . it's just downstairs, in a cupboard next to the furnace. Take a flashlight . . . for some reason, the lights don't work down there, and it's very dark . . . with cobwebs . . . and possibly chainsaw weilding mass murdering psychopaths.
