Anyone like to watch scary movies. I’m always pestering my wife to watch scary movies and sometimes she agrees. What’s your favorite scary movie(s)?

I like insidious and the conjuring 2. I like the shining and Carrie. And the exorcist is the scariest movie I’ve ever seen.

I love scary movies. Ummm favorites…Pan’s Labyrinth (and almost anything else by guillermo del toro…he always mixes with horror with beauty and fantasy and I love that) …The Grudge…The Exorcist…the Exorcism of Emily Rose…I liked 13 Ghosts…Shutter Island…I’ve seen so many it is hard for me to pick favorites!!

When I was 10-12 me and my best friend at the time would go to the library and rent horror movies to watch at her house at sleepovers. Now that I think of it I have no idea how we rented those movies, given the ratings and our age…but we did it somehow.

Personally I think Asian countries and the English do horror best. Asian countries because they do really messed up freaky stuff and English because they always inject a bit of humor into everything, even horror…

American horror movies typically seem so lazy to me. It’s all just cheap jump scares which I’m numb to now, especially since the stuff they throw at you in those movies I have seen in person thanks to my psychosis on a regular basis anyhow :joy: And also a lot of COMPLETELY RANDOM AND IRRELEVANT sexual content. There’s no originality and they are so stereotypical there was actually an entire movie made mocking them (cabin in the woods).

I don’t like slashers because they’re stupid and hilarious and I can’t find them scary at all. I also don’t like movies that are “cringe” ie they get all their scariness from gore/torture. Unpleasant and also a rather lazy way to do horror. Psychological thrillers are the best…

I found a good scary movie called “The Storm of the Century”. It’s a Stephen King story. It’s good enough that I was willing to overlook its flaws. That’s the sign of a great movie for me.
