Don't know that I have a favorite, but the ones that scared the crap out of me are:

Psycho
Rosemary's Baby
Children of the Corn (I actually stayed in a town in Kentucky that reminded me of that movie.  It freaked me out and we ended up checking out of the hotel and leaving)

and the one that still effects me to this day is:

The Birds

Oh, I forgot The Others.  Really good.

I don't watch them very often.  I hate watching them by myself and hubby doesn't get into them.

The Sixth Sense... i forgot all about that... so twisted. I think its sad that M Night Shymalan (or however you spell it) hasnt been able to top it. He has gotten so close, especially with Signs, then the movie always falls short.

Thanks Kadie!

M Night freaks me out!

I couldn't watch it.  Probably just because he creeps me out, but I did like The Sixth Sense.

He could be telling the truth.. especially if he got married in the 80s... everything from the 80s (except me) was scary.

Never seen Saw?? You must see the first one. It was innovative and truly freaky and twisted. The next 3 (I've seen 20 mins of Saw 4) rely blood and guts to scare you. There's no thought that goes into producing a movie like that. Its a bunch of how much can we gross people out?

brrrrrrrrrr......that's enough !!

That film gave me nightmares [:(]

The Birds, well, I can't personally stand that film, I thought it quite lame.

My all time favourite scary movie has to be Ring, the original mind you. Extreme Asian Tartan films are great [;D]

I've never seen the Japanese versions of Grudge and Ring...I just have a thing about reading movies !!

But Dan..have you seen the US version of the ring.....I actually found it quite disturbing !!...serves me right for watching these things at 3am in a darkened room with headphones on !!


The Birds ?....at the time (44 years ago ) it was quite horrific !

The Japanese versions are great, I think they tend to go with a different approach to scaring people. Hollywood is all about things jumping out at you and get get very predictable [;)]
Definitely worth watching though.

I have the American version at home [;)] I like it as I can understand how it all began a lot more easily [:)]
lol why on earth you would watch it using headphones though, that really does add to any scary movie [;)]

I can understand The Birds being a good and scary film at the time. But for me it's a little too dated to be scary now. Plus it's just how everyone runs from them, come on, stay and fight...........all you really need is a baseball team [;)]

But Neil, I'd hold your hand if we watched a horror film, me will protects ewe  [:D]

I haven't seen the remake of that one, but the original was pretty cool [:)]  Had it on DVD but someone borrowed it and never gave it back, the thing is I have no idea who borrowed it, probably one of my housemates lending it to someone [:(]  Mind you, that was probably a couple of years ago now [;)]

I didn't know they were making a remake of Evil Dead!!! I love Bruce, but I guess he won't be in it.

Stan Lee was the bus driver wasnt he? I just remember watching it when it came out on DVD with my grandmother, and I saw him and was like OMG its Stan Lee! And my grandmother got all confused cause her last name is Stanley... that story is so much funnier in my mind then in text.
