What is your favorite type of horror film? Can you give a few examples?

Question

Being Halloween and all, thought I would get into the spirit of things.

I like Vampire movies as my all time faves. But I also like Werewolf movies and a good ghost story. Don't care for slasher flicks.

I love the "Fright Night" vampire movies (1 & 2)
Also loved "An American Werewolf in London"
For a ghost story, I loved "The Fog", the original one. Did not care for the remake. Seemed like a good horror story that they used to tell us as little boys when we went camping with our fathers.

Is that all? You can't name any more, could you? Wimp!

Answer 2

Any kind of Comic Horror, but especially the ones Roger Corman made with Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Peter Lorrie and occasionally, Jack Nicholson--back in the 60's.

Answer 3

I love movies that aren't necessarily horribly scary, but scary by the way it messes with your mind. Like Saw 1-3, Number 23!, The Ring 1-2, and The Grudge.

Answer 4

hi MJ :) the object is very an exciting study. at the same time as I seem to believe those indexed, i could, regardless of the undeniable fact that, relatively like one particular form spawning criminal indexed interior the final 5. at the same time as i don't be attentive to which particular call kicked off the "zombie" fad, yet there has been a slew of zombie movies. This form, i in my view discover tasteless and an entire waste. BA : even regardless of the undeniable fact that information record Avatar by way of fact the final international blockbuster (plenty to the chagrin of many right here on Y!A), i in my view think of Jaws and Jurassic Park ought to be bigger on the record. BBA : The Terminal / Shawshank Redemption (greater appropriate) BA3 : female with Dragon Tattoo - upset by way of fact of it no longer being a real version of the e book - 6.5/10

Answer 5

The Number 23 is amazing! I loved that movie. The Messengers was good. If you want a movie that I'm nearly afraid to watch, i'd watch Amnittyville Horror (i can't spell it right)

Answer 6

I like movies that mess with your head like "Identity" and "The Number 23"

I also like vampire movies but not the stupid ones that you can always predict but the ones that make you feel like vampires are real. I liked "Interview With a Vampire" even though it wasn't that scary.
If i think of any more I'll let you know
