Poltergeist
Return of the Living Dead 2
The Thing
The Haunting

And two that got rubbish reviews but i enjoyed:

Thirteen Ghosts (or Thir13en Ghosts?)
House on Haunted Hill

[shaunbhoy]

I quite enjoyed "What Lies Beneath", but that probably had more to do with Michelle Pfeiffer than anything horrific in the film.

I did think about you when I posted that

I'm not into all that 'torture porn' crud either.

I saw 3 of the hellraiser films and that was enough for me!

Carry on Screaming ( I know its not really horror - but i LOVE IT ANYWAY)
The Ring - Japanese NOT the remake
The Haunting - really scary atmospheric film -
I found A Clockwork Orange quite horrible - but not sure if it's classed as a 'horror film'

The Exorcist
Alien - its a horror story in space.
Carrie
Christine

Titanic.

The Blob Steve Mc Queen at his hokey best.

All the Black & white quatermass. Cacti fingers was genius scared me stiff

28 days later

The dawn of the dead, both versions but original had the edge.

American werewolf in London (Jenny, shower mmmmmm, I didn't mean to call you meatloaf Jack)

American Werewolf in Paris - (Julie Delpy - It will take your mind off the pain mmmmm)

The Howling

Underworld - its a leather thing.

Blade - watch it again & again.

The Hitcher - Rutger Hauer is real scary.

Did you stay in the girls' bedroom?

Nope, I was on a Graduate training scheme thing with CSC - and they spent rather a lot of money on putting a load of us up there and running some courses. I was in the annexe, some of my chums got put in some of the posh bedrooms in the main house. It is a lovely place and it has a de-consecrated chapel in the grounds and one of the staff took us on a tour at night and told us ghost stories - great fun.

Original

[Pogle]

Good. The original was from the days when horror/suspense films stood or fell by things other than special effects. I only remember one small special effect - the door.
Is that where they made the original or the remake? I can't tell from the pictures.

Original

[Doggy Styles]

No I'm not referring to the apalling remake

Good, you mean the original black-and-white, which added to the atmosphere. That was from the days when horror/suspense films stood or fell by things other than special effects. I only remember one small special effect - the door.

BTW part of it was filmed at this hotel,

I stayed there once, they also made part of 'The watcher in the Woods' there too.

The Relic.

Three brilliant films (assuming you meant the original black-and-white version of the Haunting)

I don't know if I can call it a "favourite" horror movie but,

1997 : The Voters Lose The Plot

Has been the worst horror movie I can recall in modern times.

Even starring in it, seems to be no consolation for the sheer horror of it all.

Could also be entitled Apocalypse Now

Just remembered a brilliant Swedish vampire file ... "Let the right one in". Well worth watching.

That's a good one.
