    Default Halloween Scary Movies: Rate your top five all time...............

    Since Halloween is upon us may be cool, and informative for those late night "Scare-a-thons" to post your top five scariest movies of all time. One rule, they must be supernatural related flicks. No "slasher" films or "thrillers". Gotta be an "Other-worldly" premise.

    I'll start:

    1. The Exorcist
    2. Halloween (Original)
    3. The Omen (Original)
    4. Night of the Living Dead (Original)
    5. The Shining (Made for TV version)
    28 in 23 (?)!!!!

    63 in '23!!!!!!!!!!









    The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????

    since we are specifically talking about the scariest, not just the best, I'll have to omit Pontypool and a couple of others I love... here are the scariest:

    1. El orfanato
    2. The Dark
    3. The Others
    4. The Blair Witch Project (the original)
    5. Madhouse

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Isn't the "Scariest" move the best of the scary movies? Did I miss something? Distinctly possible given my age and proclivity for literalism. Or is it the exclusion of non-supernatural related flicks that prompted your response? As always, "Alfred" I respect your thoughts and opinions.

    This is a good question and one I don't have a ready answer for. On the one hand, yes, what's the point of a horror movie if it is not scary? On the other, some of my favorite horrors - such as Who Can Kill a Child, Escalofrio, Pontypool or The Last Exorcism are not really scary, they are just - interesting, thoroughbly enjoyable, well developed, directed and acted; in other words, just good films. Also, such a film as Madhouse, which scared me shitless (there were a couple of moments I still do not want to remember when the light is off, and I watched it some three years ago...), is not a really good movie, it has a silly story, and all the rest of what there is to it is pretty average.

    1. Event Horizon(sci-fi-ish, but one of the few movies to legitimately creep me the fuck out in many years.)
    2. Pet Sematary(That kid playing Gage is creepy as shit).
    3. Paranormal Activity(these movies seem to get a bad rep, but I think they are quite creepy, especially the first one)
    4. Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth(I pick this one because it highlights Pinhead at his creepiest and he has some chilling lines in it like: "Unbearable, isn't it? The suffering of strangers, the agony of friends. There is a secret song at the center of the world, Joey, and its sound is like razors through flesh....Oh come, you can hear its faint echo right now. I'm here to turn up the volume. To press the stinking face of humanity into the dark blood of its own secret heart. ")
    5. Phantasm(a bit corny at some points, but The Tall Man really messed with me as a kid).
    There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.

    If you have trouble finding a copy, someone has uploaded it to youtube in 9 parts.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FblaGd7nEEY (the first part)

    Most welcome. I will warn you, though...in the parts where it is corny, it is super corny, but The Tall Man still creeps me out to this day for some reason. He made me very wary of morticians as a kid.

    In no particular order:

    1) Into the Mouth of Madness
    2) Event Horizon
    3) Lord Of Illusions Prince of Darkness
    4) Jacobs Ladder
    5) Flatliners

    P.S. Here is a co-winner in my top five because it scared my spitless in my youth...Gargoyles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59Kz6G8174w

    P.P.S. I'm amending my list to include Prince of Darkness and exclude Lord Of Illusions.

    Oh man, how about that part with the eyes in Event Horizon?

    Also. I forgot about Jacob's Ladder or it might have made mjy list. I can hardly watch this scene:

    1. The Shining (no matter how many times I watch it, it still creeps me out)
    2. Paranormal Activity
    3. Ils (aka Them)
    4. The Fourth Kind
    5. The Others

    Like Jean, these aren't my top horror films. But they're the ones to scare me the most.

    I'm glad to see all this love for Event Horizon. That's one of the few films that still manages to creep me out , even after all these years and multiple viewings.

    In no particular order

    1. Event Horizon
    2. The Shining
    3. Phantoms (Dean Koontz)
    4. The Others
    5. The Thing

    Heather : Ils doesn't seem to answer the requirement - it has no supernatural constituent. Or else I would have included it too... it is scary like hell.

    I know, but I was struggling to come up with 5 And it scared me so I included it.

    Also what Madhouse were you referring to? I just watched one the other week, is it the same? It's the 2004 one, where a student is working at a mental institution, and people begin to die.

    Halloween
    Candyman
    The Thing
    Jaws (OK, no supernatural, but that shark is f--king scary)

    Right, and especially when you ask for "Halloween Scary Movies" I don't think of Halloween Scary as being of the same point as what we might call Horrorshow Scary.

    Yeah, it's a campy classic. Great as example of 1970s American movie genre.

    I've still yet to watch a horror movie that scared me. A few have done a good job at creeping me out. But if this is a list of horror movies we love watching at Halloween it would be:

    1. The Thing
    2. The Shining
    3. Halloween (Not the crapfest that Zombie made)
    4. The Evil Dead
    5. Dawn of the Dead (2004)

    I was actually going to watch it the other day, but then opted for something else. I might just watch it later tonight now after all this talk about it.

    What Swan said! I've never watched it, but even I know what the Tall Man looks like and why you need to beware of his balls!

    If we can only include supernatural-related films, I can only say:

    1. Pet Sematary
    2. Insidious
