Horror movies

To kind of deversify your list there red, Hannibal, would be considered a thriller more than a horror. Basically, same area, but not same genre.

Carry on...

Too bad I've been away for so long b/c this is a fantastic thread!

I must say that most of the horror movies I watch multiple times have solid FX, lots of gore, and a helluva lot of comedy... movies such as the Evil Dead Series, Dead Alive, and the Return of the Living Dead series all pop into my head.

One movie I haven't heard anyone mention that I find is often overlooked is Carnival of Souls... a damn freaky movie when you consider when it was made and the budget they had.

I hated Carnival of Souls.

I'd have to say that the Silence of the Lambs, had me truly freaked. I was shaking like a leaf; didn't know what to expect.

You mean you didn't expect him to wear a guy's face as a mask?

I thought everyone expected that.

I just thought the whole movie was so freakin' creepy. Especially from a woman's perspective.

"Put the lotion in the basket. "...worst nightmare, ever.

You mean the guy tucking his pecker between his legs and dressing up like a woman wasn't a nightmare to you?

'Twas for me. I need to get a shuddering smilie.

Well, this movie goes down as the all time scariest for me. The reality of it, was just frightening as hell.

Right up there with The Shining and The Exorsist. My husband's gone crazy and wants to kill me! My kid is possessed by a demon and crab-crawls! AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Have you guys seen "ED Gein" with Steve Railsback?

no.

scary?

Yeah, cause it's true *shriek*

He was the real guy that Chainsaw Massacre was based on. He had skin lampshades, bone furniture etc..

Gross. I hate those kinds of things...Chainsaw Massacre was just too realistic in it's filming...I about puked.

The "brain" scene in Hannibal grossed me out when I first saw it in the theatre, but I toughed it out.

Yes, I loved the way the Brain Scene was setup.........it felt so surreal.

After watching it a few times, you can see the CG work, so it's not as nasty, but that first time, it caught me off guard and it got me.

Define surreal...don't look it up, I'll know if you do...just give me a quickie here; humor me.

Surreal: unreal. Beyond reality. Like something out of a dream, almost. That's the way I define it, at least. Anyway, the brain scene didn't scare me or freak me out. I just thought it was stupid. It was so over-the-top and ridiculous. And then there's a joke smack-dab in the middle of it, and a bunch of people laugh. I don't understand what we were supposed to feel during that scene at all. I sure as hell didn't feel scared.

Checkmate.
