   • Halloween approaches, what films do people recommend as far as decent horror goes?
     
     A few of my favourites:-
     
     Dawn of the Dead (either version)
     The Descent
     Audition
     The Thing
     
     And I remain disappointed by Halloween, Evil Dead and 28 Days Later and it's sequel.

     the wicker man
     To the devil a daughter
     Most of the hammer horror stuff I like.

   • the thing
     ring
     the evil dead
     
     i'm sure there must be more...
     
     oh, the bit in the others where the little girl turns into an old woman is scary.

   • Witchfinder General is ok, not really that good though.
     
     I like-
     
     The Omen
     The Shining
     Blair Witch 1
     
     Not much else as they are mainly awful.

   • Oh The Thing is ace, as much fun and scary as a game too.

   • I can't think of one that stands out. Horror films bore me.

    • I'd have to say The Omen & The shining. oh and the original Dark Water.
      
      I don't watch that many horror films, they don't bore me i'd just rather often watch other stuff.
      
      As a kid i saw Poltergeist and i had to sleep with the stairs light on for years afterwards as it scared the living daylights out of me, there used to be a tree at the bottom of our garden and that didn't help me at night as i kept thinking it was going to come get me.

      Excellent film. So much gore and that Vicar is hilarious.
      
      "Stand back boy, this call's for divine intervention!"

    • I like proper shivers
      
      Ring - all 3 originals in fact - fuuucccckkkk
      Halloween - doesnt need dark to be scary
      The Fog (some bits are perfect shiver material)
      Psycho
      Cronos
      Prince Of Darkness
      
      However I also rate Scream and American Werewolf in London - so clever
      
      Let's not forget Shaun of the Dead - awesome comedy horror

    • Halloween.
      
      Recently though I thought (REC) and the Orphanage were very good.

      Yeah. I laughed afterwards.
      
      Agree with Carey on guiltily liking Ginger Snaps. Other than that it's all the Evil Dead films, Dawn of the Dead, From Dusk til Dawn, Planet Terror, and generally any horror that doesn't take itself too seriously.

    • Forgot about Dusk 'till Dawn. That's a great film. I really enjoyed planet terror too.
