what's the greatest horror movie of all time?

Answer 1

definitely Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. Tell me you can watch this flic and then take a shower in an open bathroom. The incredible thing is that it could all be true. Every single episode could be true. Blood and gore and headless corpses will give us a start but, Psycho is the real deal

Answer 2

good question, ur getting a star. well i do love the first final destination, but the sequeals were rubbish, they completly ruined it, the relic is good, so is virus, the haunting isn't scary but i love it, sphere makes you jump now and then, the ring 1 and 2, two is better its scarier and i love the bit where she closes the thing up so it cant get out and shouts down 'im not your fing mummy!' but the scariest movie for me has to be ghost ship, its just the way its done and the ending omg, you cant beat it for fear,
but the best overall horror movie got to be scream 1 and 2, i prefer 2 though, the killers aren't expected the sturcture of it is execellent it keeps you thinking, its very original funny a bit scary now and then, its just a classic!

Answer 3

For me it's The Excorcist. Nothing has scared me like it since and probably won't. When it was originally released in theatres people would be passing out and throwing up during the movie. That's how powerful it is.

I saw it some years ago when they re-released it in theatres with extra footage and it freaked me out all over again.


Note: The movie is based on a true story.

Answer 4

Stephen King's Rose Red.

Answer 5

I was going to say Bambi.... but truthfully The Thing. John Carpenter is the King of Horror and he certainly knew what he was doing with this film.

If you haven't seen this movie you are missing out.

Answer 6

I could never really pick ONE, but these are definitely at the top of the list for me:

"Hostel" (2005)
The American pals Paxton and Josh meets with the Islander Oli in Paris and the three backpackers travel together to Switzerland, Belgium and Amsterdam having Barcelona as final destination, looking for sex, drugs and booze. While in Amsterdam, they meet Alex, who shows pictures of gorgeous women in gang bang, and suggests the trio to visit the hostel in Bratislava, Slovakia, a place crowded of hot, promiscuous and sexy girls. When they arrive, they meet three delicious girls in the hostel and they believe they have found the lost paradise of sex on Earth. But sooner they find that they have been sold to a sadistic group of the Elite Hunting, and their dream becomes their worst nightmare.

"The Thing" (1982)
Scientists in the Antarctic are confronted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of the people that it kills.

"The Fly" (1986)
A brilliant but eccentric scientist begins to transform into a giant man/fly hybrid after one of his experiments goes horribly wrong.

"The Ninth Gate" (1999)
Based on the book The Club Dumas, written by Arturo Perez-Reverte. Sleazy book dealer Dean Corso (Johnny Depp) is hired by the obscure, yet renowned book collector Boris Balkan to find the only other two existing copies of the seventeenth-century book "The Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows", as Balkan wants to authenticate his copy of this 17th century occult work, said to have been written by the devil. And thus begins a mysterious and suspenseful escapade, filled with physical and supernatural obstacles at every turn.

"Wolf Creek" (2005)
Stranded backpackers in remote Australia fall prey to a murderous bushman who offers to fix their car, then takes them captive.

Answer 7

Although not technically a horror movie,i'd have to say Fire walk with me,David Lynch's Prequel to the t.v series Twin Peaks,it's the only movie to have ever given me nightmares.The effects are a little dated though.

Answer 8

Psycho got to be up there --it's a classic, and "the Birds" with Nighmare on Elm St. coming in behind those

Answer 9

I think that would be the exorcist

i havent seen it personally but i hear all sorts of bad things about it...from a scary point of view

i'll stay far away from it. i caught a bit of the exorcism of emily rose and that freaked me out

Answer 10

I am not a big fgan of this genre, but my favorites are "Werewolf Woman" (1974, Italy) and "Dangerous Seductress" (1992, Indonesia). I like the ladies in them, and they are nude. Annik Borel is the star of the first, and Amy Weber stars in the 2nd. She is a witch executed 1000 years ago. Robbers chased by cops wreck in a cemetery. Their blood seeps into her grave and regenerates her flesh. She is held in her grave by magic hands, but she possesses Tanya Offer(Lawson), and Tanya cuts men apart to suck their blood and spit it to Amy. Annik rips throats with her teeth as the lady who thinks she is a werewolf.
