Horror films

[AutumnGhost]

Haven’t seen Babadook but just googling it has terrified me

I never understand how anyone enjoyed this film let alone found it remotely scary, I genuinely thought it was a comedy/spoof ‘horror’ type thing

Sinister and insidious are really good

I rewatched The Exorcist last night! Still one of my favourites! Genuinely disturbing!

Did you watch the making of thing on BBC4 that was on prior to the film? The Fear Of God: Twenty-Five Years Of The Exorcist.

William 'Billy' Friedkin sounds like he was a nutcase.

One of the creepiest horrors I’ve seen is the 1974 film ‘Black Christmas’. The wonderful Margot Kidder is in it too. I can remember walking home from the pictures terrified!! It’s very rarely on TV anymore but definitely worth a watch if you can find it. The 2006 re-make is not very good at all IMO.

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

Is there a horror film that you have seen that really has creeped you out?

Sinister with Ethan Hawke.

I watch loads of horror and an awful lot of it is crap but that really left me feeling uncomfortable for some reason. I actually stopped watching it at one stage and returned to it the following night. I've never watched the sequel.

The official trailer for The Nun 2

One of my (many) guilty secrets is "The Haunted House Of Horror".

It's free on Prime.

It's a 60's slasher/horror and the fashions and views of 60's London (Carnaby Street, Cranks, Liberty) are amazing!

There is a lot of Kensington Gore, not much horror but watch it for the 60's vibe

I recently watched February (also released as The Blackcoats daughter). It’s on channel4 catch up for free. It was really fantastic! Slow burn, creepy and unsettling. Would highly recommend

Apostle on Netflix is brilliant. *Wicker man vibes but better!

 

[monga]

I watched this film a few nights ago and was also pleasantly surprised. I loved the ’60s London throwbacks

Even the Cilla soundtrack was bearable

 

[button moon]

I’m generally more into older horrors! I adore The Wicker Man, found that really disturbing! Also:
Nightmare on Elm Street
The Shining
The exorcist
Halloween
Eden Lake
American werewolf in London
Audrey Rose
Orphan
The Descent
Friday 13th
psycho
Scream
The lost Boys
The Creep Show

No poltergeist? That scared me to death when I was wee so did nightmare on elm street. Love the lost boys to .

I’ve watched both talk to me and black phone, they were okay but I’m not really a huge fan of like paranormal stuff. I’m glad I didn’t go to the cinema to see either and watched them on the streaming platforms. Hoping to go see Abigail this week, even if I go on my own

 

[HitchhikingGhost]

I liked Hereditary and Midsommar as they weren't typical horrors. Some others I like are:
The Descent
The Shining
Saw
Silence of the Lambs
Sixth Sense
The Witch

I’m ending off September correctly by going to the Rocky Horror Show (I know it’s not really horror) but I’ll also watch little shop of horrors (as I’m going as something from this for Halloween) and obv Hocus Pocus. They’re my usual Halloween film traditions.

Otherwise I try to watch a horror movie every day for October. Some I’ve seen before but sometimes I’ll try new ones from shudder. Sometimes I’ll search TikTok for recommendations.

Last year I watched all the halloweens back to back, I enjoyed that.
I need to watch dog soldiers as haven’t in a couple of years and it’s one of my fave werewolf movies.

I was looking forward to that new Dracula film coming out, the dementor one, but appears the release date was halted in the UK. Fancied actually going to the cinema for it but might have to try stream it

The others is a brilliant film!

no one ever seems to remember this film when I mention it ! It’s so fantastic! The atmosphere, the slow burn creepiness, the use of sound, I think it’s one of the best modern horrors I’ve ever seen.

 

[IGiveUp22]

I feel like I’m in the minority that doesn’t rate the insidious movies. I might give them another go but I just aren’t a fan and don’t get the hype around them

Sinister and insidious are really good

The imagery is creepy in Insidious. It always scares me when the scary face appears when they are sitting at the table.

 

[supernintendochalmers]

I like watching those naff slasher films e.g. Friday the 13th, Happy Birthday to Me, Black Christmas, Silent Night Deadly Night, Child's Play, Wrong Turn, Valentine.
The Loved Ones
Starry Eyes - not usually too bothered about gore, but this made me feel a bit queasy in some parts and I suppose there is a supernatural element to it.
I thought The Love Witch was a good homage to 60s and 70s films.

 

[Vampyre]

I love Hammer films and anything from the silent age through to the 80s slashers. I can't watch torture porn type stuff at all. There has to at least be an attempt at an interesting plot and characterisation.

Going to watch the original Halloween later tonight, part of my ritual.

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

Some of my favs:

The Skeleton Key
The Woman In Black
Shutter Island

The Omen series
The Exorcist series
The Conjuring series

I'm not a fan of slasher stuff. More your ghost, occult, vampire kind of girl.

This is quite a good thread for horror and scary films and TV shows who like that genre.

Scariest TV shows or films you’ve ever seen

Films: Fire Walk With Me: I found it creepy and unsettling. Eden Lake: Not a typical horror film but felt so REAL that it was genuinely horrifying. Hostel: Not so much scary but disgustingly gross. TV: Twin Peaks: The typical scariest parts were bad enough but even just the shots with the...
