What's Your Favorite Scary Movie?

[Cougar Bait]

I side with The Shining, Halloween (the original), and my favorite for this year, Insidious.

The Shining, by a mile.

I'm not scared of scary movies. Because the moment someones tell me you are watching a scary movie I know it's a movie and I won't get scared. It's likes someone telling you "Will you die if I shoot you with blanks?"

I loved the original Halloween but then again at that time I loved Jamie Lee Curtis

Sleepaway Camp 1. Oh the classic lines. Not to mention the stellar ending.

The Shining, by a mile.

I would have agreed but I visited that Hotel and it isn't so scary after that.... still a good movie

Session 9.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake.

I remember really liking Don't Look Now with Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie. It's been a long time since I saw it though. Decades?? I'd like to see it again and see if it stands up.

Very different sort of scary movie than Halloween. I saw Halloween for the first time in the last year or so. It struck me as more of a comedy than scary.

Wasn't Bruce Lee's kid Brandon killed with a gun firing blanks?

Supposedly. Someone replaced the blanks with live ammo by accident.

Watching Lawrence O'Donnell interview is pretty fuckin scary.

 

[Matty]

I just downloaded Insidious.*

 

[Tron]

Original Halloween and The Shining (I consider The Shining a better movie though)

It's not magnificent or anything on par with these classics, but I think it's good. Certainly worth a view. No Lawrence O'Donnell though, so not as scary as it could have been.

What about Candyman? It was good back in the day.

I also thought "IT" was good.

Haven't seen it in awhile though, so I can't say if it stands the test of time.

 

[Cougar Bait]

Okay, I just watched that clip and it was ridiculous.

 

[Matty]

lolz, the It movie was garbage. Loved the book(s) as a kid.

Really hope to see The Talisman turned into a movie one day.

I think the last time I saw it I was 9 or something. It really looks awful now though. Were there any good Steven King translations?

Seems like the movies always fall short.

Needful Things was decent. I think.

The Shining
The Shawshank Redemption
Carrie
Misery

Dolores Claiborne wasn't bad.

Mr. King is one fokken prolific non-screenwriter.
