LIKE THE WAVES IN THE OCEAN I WILL DIG IN YOUR FAT AND SEARCH FOR YOUR CLITORIS, BUT I WON'T SLAM WHALE
Horror movies have not been good for awhile. Ya there are a few standouts from newer horror films but compared to the other genres, it's kinda gone downhill over the years. What's your favorite scary movie and why?

To this day I'd say The Exorcist. Psychological horror has always been scarier for me than the gory stuff and when I originally watched this movie it scared the poo poo out of me. Haven't found a horror movie since that scared me as much.

the original cut of the exorcist was just a good horror movie. when they re released it in theaters years ago they added in a scene where regan spider walks down some stairs and i just about jumped out of my pants when i saw that poo poo

in conclusion whichever cut of the exorcist has that scene is the best horror movie

Friday the 13th pt 3. The biker gang of like three people in the countryside that gets their motorcycles ruined by a fat nerd in a VW Beetle is the best horror movie moment ever.

I dont really get scared at scary movies not since I was a little kid. Most of them are comedies if anything now imo. IT was pretty good. I got a lot of laughs out of it and I usually hate clowns.


The Thing is a classic to watch.

Sort of depends on what you like. There are many horror movies that are legit good films but are very different from one another so it's a difficult thing to adequately judge.

you should break it down into subcategories like monster, supernatural, psychological, etc

I like The Shining even though I don't really go for the supernatural poo poo. I thought that movie Sinister was gonna be really good, and the first half was, but then it goes into all that supernatural bullshit and I just lost interest. If that movie just had a straight up normal serial killer it would have been a fantastic horror movie.

I highly doubt this. Sean of the Dead isn't horror at all. Evil Dead 2 is pretty well known as the best horror comedy. Lost Boys is so far down that list that until you mentioned it, it had never even been on the list. I think it is a teenage girl wet dream first, then a vampire flick, then a comedy.

Also, The Fearless Vampire Killers is an elite horror comedy.
