Good Horror movies...
Best...
Horror
movie..
ever.

Anybody know what im talking about?

Just saw it for the first time in like 10 years. Wow amazed at how it even scares me now. I mean nobody knows who the thing is. It could be MacReady, Childs...etc. That movie really had alot of good special effects for 1982. An Alien that replicates itself exactly as its victims and spreads throughout the population of the antartic base .


Scary. i would really loved for them to have made a sequel.

The dog part is like burned in my mind.

John Carpenter's "The Thing" remake of Howard Hawk's original.

Have you seen Re-animator?

Such movies are an example how computer animated CGI special effects are a very poor substitution.

Brain Dead. Or "Dead Alive" as it was renamed in the USA. It's a classic splatter movie from Peter Jackson with a lot of funny parts. Watch it.

The original, European 'Vanishing'. Not to be watched if you suffer from claustrophobia.

The 1970s 'Invasion of the Bodysnatchers'- don't watch if you suffer from paranoia.

Various Eddie Murphy films- too horrible for words.

Virtually all Adam Sandler films.

Numerous Hollywood blockbusters that had more money put in than sense, artistic input or acting ability.

Two classics of the more thoughtful type-

"The Wicker Man"
"Don't look now"

I agree. The Thing was kick a$$.

And yes, I saw the James Arness version from the 50's, and it was mediocre.

According to the IMDB, the fifties version was called "The Thing from Another World". The date is 1951.

horror movies suck

and consequently I like sucky ones.

Candyman has been mentioned. that is ok.
don't forget the Hellraiser series. The earlier ones are better. Although the second one was all weirded out. I don't know what they were thinking.

Don't forget Alien

The Shining (orginal one with Jack Nicholson) is decent.
Misery was also another Stephen King one that was decent. Most of his books are terrible on film though.

I actually liked the first Nightmare on Elm Street and Halloween. After that they just sucked.

Don't forget suspense films like Sixth Sense and Signs. Or speaking of suspense don't forget Psycho.

"The Haunting" (1963)
"The Changeling" (1970s with George C. Scott)

"Jacob's Ladder" is pretty freaky, too.

Definitely "Alien"

Though "Silence of the Lambs" could also be classified as a horror movie.

By dint of extreme intelligence and careful beforehand research, I have never seen a truly horrible sci-fi movie.
