i made the mistake of telling someone i was going to watch The Ring and she deliberatly phoned me just as the first phone call/death happened in the film.if you ever want to see a grown man scream like a 7yo girl and hit his head on the ceiling when he jumps in the air then i suggest you try it on someone :-p |

The original Alien is great |

I always had a thing for the first Nightmare on Elm Street (also the 'Wes Craven's New Nightmare). It has this eerie kind of feel to it. In my opinion Wes Craven really succeeded in creating this dreamlike feeling to it. I also like the feeling a lot of Stephen King films have (for example It, and Hearts of Atlantis) |

I remember when The Exorcist first came out in the cinemas in the UK in the 70's.And the hysteria that followed it in the media. That was more scarier than the film itself. Salem's Lot was a good film. |
| JoxerTheDeityPirate 14.08.2010 15:54 |
^ just watching "return to Salems Lot" and that,i can assure you,is not a good film :-p |

The 4th kind. See it, then change your pants. |
| StoneColdClassicQueen 14.08.2010 19:14 |
Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Halloween or Nightmare on Elm St. I despise all the remakes of these. |

the original Dawn Of The Dead was a classic back when me and God were lads.remember seeing it on an old betamax back when these type of films were banned in the UK as "video nasties". just wish Stephen King's novels would translate better onto screen,they deserve better quality than has been produced over the years. |

I love horror films, but I prefer the 60's-90's pre-torture porn films. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, The Exorcist, Psycho and Carrie are among my favourites. That said, the scariest film I've ever seen wasn't a horror film. I don't know if I should admitt this, but no film has scared me as much (and not in a good way) as Drop Dead Fred. I really hate that film. While I don't mind being scared (although not as much as I used to), I found that 'comedy' to be really unpleasant and I haven't watched it in years as I don't want to be scared in that way again. |

Here's one to dig up: The Keep (1982) Never released on DVD, and pretty hard to find on VHS. Check out the prices on ebay!!! Over $10 for a used VHS tape. Why this has not been released is beyond me. Take a look at the details: Directed by: Michael Mann Starring: Scott Glenn, Jurgen Prochnow, Gabriel Byrne, Robert Prosky, Ian McKellan Music by Tangerine Dream (This soundtrack, also out of print, fetches around $50 for a used copy on ebay!!!) I believe this one is still available to watch in full on You Tube. |

I stayed largely because the absurd dialog, horrible acting and clunking plot line were causing me to be too incredulous to move. That and the fact that my popcorn was looking at me ominously. (!) Anyway, your near leaving reminded me of this 2008 blog started by a veteran of 2500 movies whose experience with 'The Happening' caused him to walk out for the first time in his life. The blog never went anywhere, but it made me laugh and gave me solace at the time. I cut M. Night a lot of slack on the strength of 'Unbreakable' and 'Signs', and to a lesser degree 'The Sixth Sense'. And on his imagination and intentions. I ignored the bad reviews that started in earnest with 'The Village' and went anyway, but got increasingly disappointed with each successive film. 'The Happening' was the last straw. This time when they told me to skip 'The Last Airbender' because it was largely crap, I believed them. |

I've always thought 'The Stand' in particular deserved a real screenplay, a serious director and a serious budget. I still think of that book as a truly exceptional novel in the genre. Loved 'The Talisman' too, the writing he did as Richard Bachman, his short stories and many other of the novels. He gave me a lot of reading pleasure over the years. Somehow in more recent years I can't seem to finish a Stephen King book. I've got at least 3 or 4 of them around the house that I get to about 3/4 of the way in and then I just lose interest and wander off and do something else. |
| Holly2003 16.08.2010 02:51 |
Weird coincdence -- I've just bought both The Talisman and The Stand to reread them. My original copies are among around 1300 comics and books in my mother's attic that I'm sure I'll pass on to my kids at some point. Both books are amazing: among the best things King has written. Talisman is a kind of fantasy version of Huck Finn. I've read just about everythng King has writen, but I started losing interest a bit around Gerald's Game/Regulators era. I don't think he's wrtten anything since then that's as good as his earlier works (he hates people saying that btw but it's true). The Cell had its moments, but lost the plot towards the end. I finished Under the Dome but it was hard work and ultimately unfulfilling. Should've just watched The Simpsons Movie again! |
| JoxerTheDeityPirate 16.08.2010 07:11 |
i agree about "the stand".that really was done half-heartedly as was The Dark Half but the biggest disappointment for me was "IT". |
| GratefulFan 17.08.2010 01:00 |
This thread prompted me to pick up Lisey's Story last night and try again, but really I wish I was re-re-rereading 'The Stand' and 'The Talisman' too. I forgot Stand By Me in my King movie list. Close to perfect. |
| JoxerTheDeityPirate 17.08.2010 13:20 |
^yeah,that and Misery are the only two Stephen King novels that have translated well onto the silver screen |

| Donna13 18.08.2010 11:05 |
I've never seen any of these movies. |
| ParisNair 18.08.2010 12:47 |
Anyone seen JuON? Its a Japanaese horror movie. English adaptation is also a popular flick - The Grudge. |

i suppose one should mention the Saw franchise in this thread only for the reason it gives me to mention Shawnee Smith and drool over her :-D |
| «¤~Mrš. BÃD GÛŸ~¤» 18.08.2010 15:31 |
The Exorcist, Halloween and Psycho |

The Others (starring Nicol Kidman) I saw it in the inflight entertainment a long time ago and was very frightened at that time. Recently I read it up in the wikipedia page and got to know the storyline better. The movie is quite creative. Instead of telling a story about people finding ghosts, it got us to think that the people were ghosts. Aaargh..... |

I see your dilemma. Maybe just say "Hey look! Is that a pirate?!!" and then snatch it out of her purse while she's distracted. Then you don't even have to mention me, and it's all good! |
