I'm a soft arse, don't like the blood and gore stuff.

Don't watch em....but if I'm watching a scary film and there is a dog in it, hit the panic button...you better not kill the dog :lol:

Film that used to **** me up as a kid was ' The Burning' and ' Salem's Lot'

One of the best films I've seen in a long time, wouldn't class it as scarey, but I guess it's a horror and that would be ' The Mist '

All the hellraisers are brilliant ...'the doctor is in the house' lol

A film sticks with me from when I was a kid but have no idea what it was called. Something about zombies puking white stuff and they were in a hospital and it was on the moon ...might have imagined that, I was a kid. But it gave me the willys

Salem's Lot, The Shining (that still scares me now :lol: ), The Omen films, and another one about this car that went around killing people :? .... then (not a movie) but there was this show every week on ITV when I was a kid, can't remember the name but one episode ended with someone going into this attic and there was this old nun in a rocking chair - freaked me out for weeks that did.

A good one I watched on TV over here recently starred the guy who plays Harry Potter, very dark and in the mould of the classic British horror films.

Ingredients for a good horror:- Suspense, and the ability to mess with you psychologically (movies that rely on excess gore just make me laugh).

The car film is Christine. It's ok.

Would definitely agree with The Burning that was a good film.

 

[TwistedMetal]

Christine was a cool movie, me and the wife watched 'Carrie' the other day bit crap now hopeing the remake will be some good however the new Carrie bird is fit so I don't know how they will pull it off.

Couple of other films I watched as a kid were ' Demons' and ' Demons 2' they did **** me up :shock: but one memory I have is after watching ' the Blair witch project' although not a great scary film, but at the end of the movie when you see the guy stood in the corner facing against the wall whilst the Blair witch does her thing to some other helpless soul was kinda cool, but when the film finished I made my way upstairs to bed, but as I got to the top of the stairs my brother was stood in the corner facing the wall and tbh It **** me up, I'm no ***** however growing up sharing a bedroom with my bro, he would often tell me about werewolfs etc.. And I did believe there was something out there that was going to get me one night :shock:

 

[Richard_H]

I was watching Child's play 3 one night, which is pretty ****. I jumped out of the chair when I glanced at the door. My then 3 year old son was standing there, he'd crept down the stairs because he couldn't sleep. :shock:

american werewolf in london scared the shite right out of me all those years ago , i must have ben 10 or so lol

My dad was old school and thought horror was silly. Didn't mind renting me a Nightmare on Elm Street 2 and the first was already rented out. I was 8 and already breezed through Robocop, Alien and Aliens. :wink:

I watched it- no problem. Brought my goonie friends around the next morning and watched it again. Breezed through it. Later that day, we all put our pocket money together and rented Nightmare on Elm Street 3.

I was terrified out of my mind but couldn't show it in front of my parents as they would immediately take note of the movies I was watching. The next 3 years of my life I was scared shittless of Kruger. :shock: :?

Last month I met Robert Englund and he was awesome 8) . Answered all my questions like Kruger in a Kruger voice, also told my friend to 'take a nap!' :shock: . I couldn't help but notice that I was really disturbed by his acting and realised that something about that childhood experience is still deep in my subconscious. Like a childhood experience of drowning. He was a top guy, but now I realise why there is no chance I will watch the Grudge or Sinister.

Sales Lot is on this week in a local independent cinema. Mrs having none of it.

The commuter who gets had off on the escalator in American werewolf is bib fortuna.

 

[jabbawokkie]

saloms lot .i remember watching this it was in two parts .first part finished where the vampire came to window ...........that was enough never watched second half lol

when i watch werewolf in london now its shocking how i funny it is and cant understand why i slept undercovers for weeks .1 because its a comedy horror 2 my duvet wouldnt have done much against a werewolf lol

 

[rob71]

You mean this vampire kid at the window? :lol:

And I found out the car movie was called "The Car"... originally enough

 

[jabbawokkie]

thats the one .i,ve just put it on love film .i enjoyed return to salems lot as well .the bit in werewolf were he is in hospital and his face turns in to a zombie scared **** out me as well

 

[Fishtalk]

I'm going with 'Salems lot' also. It was the talk of the playground after it was first shown, everybody mentioned the floating vampire kid scratching at the bedroom window.
The scariest thing I've seen recently is the fake BBC documentary 'Ghostwatch'. Michael Parkinson presents it, about a haunting in a London council house. Like I said it's all fake but it's done brilliantly. You can get it on dvd, I challenge anyone to watch it home alone with the lights off.

 

[Grant_C]

Haha- Ghostwatch was amazing- don't go back and watch it though- it will ruin it like rewatching Thundercats.

 

[Richard_H]

Like Dark Towers and The Boy from Space we watched at school. Peter Mayhew played the White Knight in Dark Tower. It was child abuse! Especially in our school which was 100 years old when I was there, we had WW2 tunnels under the playground, grey lady ghosts.... you name it we had it.
We were never allowed in the tunnels though. It would have been great to get in there.

 

[Fishtalk]

'Carry on Screaming' as well as being one of the best Carry on films, is pretty scary. The bit where Jon Pertwee grows Odd Bod junior from Odd bod's severed finger still freaks me out, even today.
