Which horror movie is your favorite?
From 70's until recently, name a few of your favorite horror movies 
I'd like to see which ones are the most popular just by your standards, not by sales or anything like that.
My favorites (just to name a few): all 3 of the Saw movies *Jigsaw is a mastermind*, House of 1000 Corpses, Stay Alive, all the Friday the 13th movies, the Final Destination Trilogy, The Shining, Silence of the Lambs, the 2 Resident Evil movies, all the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, The Amityville Horror (classic and recent), Queen of the Damned and all of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies.
I forgot to put the Hellraiser movies on there too.

The Amityville Horror (new), Saw, House of 1000 Corpses, the Ring, the Grudge, House of Wax (new), Final Destination (all 3), Texas Chainsaw Massacre (new), and it’s not really a ‘horror’ movie I guess but I am also a big fan of the Sixth Sense.
Don’t look now, starring Donald Sutherland.
More scary than all of those you mentioned combined.
The Ring
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (The Original) and Saw are my faves.
Best wishes.

The Excorcism of Emily Rose
I’d have to say the scariest movie for me is "The Grudge". Now, I’m an avid horror fan and nothing has ever scared me, really scared me, or given me nightmares – but after I saw this, I could not sleep without my light off or the tv off. I had to shut my closet door for fear of seeing that crazy head/face floating down the side of it! The noise she makes me most scared. Some of the other horror movies I love are ‘The Devil’s Rejects’, ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ (the new one), and ‘Saw I and II’ – I really didn’t think ‘Saw III’ was that great. I am really looking forward to watching "Dead Silence" – comes out tomorrow!
scary movie 1 2 3
im a classic girl, i like chainsaw massacre the original
I love all the old classic horror films. Halloween is my all time favourite. Of the recent scary films, (Not good enough to be called horrors) not many even make me jump let alone scare me! The only exception to this are Japanese horrors. The Grudge, The Ring, The Apartment, Dark Water are brilliant and truly scared me, as in gave me nightmares! Forget the American remakes, just watch the Japanese originals.
PSYCHO by Hitchcock.
Nightmare On Elm Street Series
Movie named something like "Animal Graveyard"
also thrillers like
Alien Series
Cube Series
Saw Series
X-Files
I like Halloween, Friday the 13th, Saw, The Descent, Candyman, Texas Chainsaw Massacre(new)
Saw movies, Resident evil films, the desscent(possibly).
"Halloween" is my all time favorite. Michael Myers is the only one you can still scare me to this day. Doesn’t matter how many times I see it. He gives me the creeps every time. "The Shining" is another creepy one, I agree with you on that, but "The Queen of the Damned" was a waste of time and money. I am a big Anne Rice fan, and if you have read the books, then you know what I am talking about. The movie and the book are 2 different stories. Another favorite is "The Exorcist", and the original "Amityville Horror". "The Grudge" freaked me out as well.
none..dont watch horror movies.
In the Mouth of Madness… its a really creepy movie.
The Halloween Series is also a good set. I love scary movies and most don’t usually scare me – except The Exorcist.
Nightmare on Elm Street 1
Most of the movies that you named are great!
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
A series worth checking out is the Masters of Horror series –
they are shorter films, but most are excellent –
Netflix has most if not all of them – don’t know if you belong to them.
Definitely want to see Dead Silence – starts tomorrow in theaters.
What Lies Beneath
the shining, saw 1,2,3, amityville horror, any jason movie, hannibal lector, gingersnaps
There are so many. For the classics, George Romero’s original Night Of The Living Dead & Dawn Of The Dead are excellent, with a moral (which for horror is a rarity), Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the original Halloween and Friday The 13th. Also, the Evil Dead films are just plain fun. Most recently, I loved Saw, the remakes of Dawn Of The Dead and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the original Alien, and the Scream trilogy.
I don’t know if I’d consider this a "horror" film, but one of the most chilling films of all time still has to be Silence Of The Lambs.
"Halloween" and "Halloween H2O". "The Shining" with Jack Nicholson is definitely a good one. (I wouldn’t want to meet up with that guy in a WELL LIT alley! LOL!) I’ve seen "Final Destination" 1 and 2 – they’re good too! I do NOT like the "slasher" films for the most part, with all of the stupid sequel stuff (Jason & Freddy.) "The Omen" and "The Fog" (original versions) are good too. "Scream" was good, but too predictable. "Fraility" is another good one.
"Phantasm" – THAT one freaked me out. I was a teenager when it came out, and I had a full length mirror on my closet door. I covered that thing up for TWO WEEKS after I saw that movie, AND slept with the light on! LOL!
Personally, I saw "The Birds" when I was a little girl and I’ve never watched it again ever since! THAT really freaked me out!
Wouldn’t say favourite, but Hostel COMPLETELY freaked me out for a good 6 months. Which is funny, cos think I saw about 5 minutes of it, the rest was buried in my boyfriends shoulder hiding! Would have walked out, but in UK have to walk towards the screen to get out the doors, and just didn’t want to get closer to it! Very gruesome…
Apart from that, The Hills have Eyes was quite grim as well, and some really big jump moments… Eugh, and the Descent…
Luckily it’s a nice sunny day, cos otherwise would be freaking out again at the memory…
If you’re looking for real HORROR movies, and not Hollywoodized stuff, check out the following, but be aware: These movies are flat out hard to watch:
The Last House On The Left, Cannibal Holocaust, SÉANCE, and Audition.
Other than the aformentioned, some of my personal favs: Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, The Devil’s Rejects, Wrong Turn, The Ring, Cube, Saw and Saw 3, Dawn of the Dead remake, Seven.
House of 1000 Corpses & The Devil’s Rejects (both Rob Zombie Films) and all 3 Final Destination films.

But if your talking newer than saw is a great mix of physical and psychological .
I like both Resident Evil movies and can’t wait for the next one out in september… I also love the Chainsaw massacre movies!!!
I love Nighmare on Elm Street part 1, Halloween (all besides the 3rd), Final Diestination 1 and 2 and 3, Scream (all, but 2 is my least favorite), It, Christine, Carrie, Queen of the Damned (although it wasn’t that scary). My favorite would be Halloween. I love Michael, so mysterious!
the original texas chainsaw massacre saga
and phantasm
My faves aren’t among the most popular, but here are a few:
Black Christmas (1974 version), Tourist Trap, Return of the Living Dead, A Nightmare of Elm Streets 1 & 3, Blair Witch Project, Carrie, The Descent, The Fog (1980), Evil Dead, Ginger Snaps the first two Screams, and, of course, the original Halloween.
