Michael Myers is gonna get you!!!

Wild_Honey · 02 Nov 2003, 02:23

Hey guys, I almost don't dare to bring up this topic (Halloween) again, but since I LOVE the "Halloween" movies I'd like to know if anyone else does so as well?!

Or horror movies in general? ...Hmmm maybe I actually shouldn't watch stuff like that, because every time I watch Halloween I think Michael Myers is just somewhere around the corner...

shadow1000001 · 02 Nov 2003, 02:58

My favorite horror movies are the "Nightmare on Elm Street" movies. Freddy is my idol

mellis107 · 02 Nov 2003, 15:27

Halloween is my favourite movie. It scared the s**t out of me when I was about 8 and I've loved it ever since! I love the whole series, but the last one was a bit pants.

Just seen the new Texas Chainsaw and have to say that I really enjoyed it.

Tim · 02 Nov 2003, 15:29

Mmmm.... are there typical haloween movies then??

CarolM · 02 Nov 2003, 16:04

I love the halloween movies and seen them all,

but i must say freddy is my hero.

I have the whole collection of freddys movies,

just love horror films.

Tim · 02 Nov 2003, 16:10

Horror?? it makes me laugh always... so that is nothing for me to watch. Give me some action, comedy or drama.

heat · 02 Nov 2003, 16:11

I too love horror films, Freddy, Michael Myers, Jason - the whole shebang.

Love the old classic Hammer horror films too - I remember when i was about 7, i stayed up late and watched the whole of Frankenstein and it scared the holy bejeasus out of me

Watched the Exorcist last night - was great - i'd only ever seen bits of it.

Love Stephen King horror movies - Pet Sematary 1 & 2 were both excellent, and Carrie and The Shining were excellent.

The king of horror though, hasta be Freddy - i have all the Nightmare On Elm Street Films, all the books and do you remember ages ago Sky One used to do a programme on Sat. night called Freddy's Nightmares - i have almost everyone of them on video - fantastic.

CarolM · 02 Nov 2003, 16:12

Hello Tim.

Hope you are well.

Tim · 02 Nov 2003, 16:15

The Excorsits... now that is a good movie. But so scary... my god. i'll never watch it in the dark again.

CarolM · 02 Nov 2003, 16:18

Woooooooow,

i love all the exorcist films,

scary but cooooooolllll.

Bigmomma · 02 Nov 2003, 16:23

the exorcist.

Fav monster would have to be Dracula

.Bela Lagosi was cool

.
Also love The Omen (well at least 1 & 2,3 was a bit of a let down),Jaws and Elm St.
I wasn't very impresed with The Exorcist

.It was banned for years,and then when they finally re released it I was very disapointed.It seems to me it relied more on shock and bad taste rather than actual horror

Love the Exorcist too, but only the Director's Cut of course!

Seen Carrie twice, could have been a bit more scary!

Chris · 02 Nov 2003, 20:32

I have to confess that I don't normally do horror films as they tend to scare the sh*t out of me!!!!

I have seen darkness falls which was good, Freddy Versus Jason which was funny!!!

Seen H20 but i haven't seen the rest so i didn' get it!!!

Also I liked that film tht was released not so long since. The one wih the alien virus in, think it was based on stephen king book!! It featured Mister Grey and "SSDD"

CarolM · 02 Nov 2003, 21:25

I love horror films,

especially when they scare the sh out of me,

love it when you dont know what to expect coooollll.

Rob The Badger · 02 Nov 2003, 22:15

'Beware' over at www.muffinfilms.com scared me. . .
As for real ones, The Shining give me the creeps everytime.

CarolM · 03 Nov 2003, 03:28

Chris, you are just my speed when it comes to horror movies! I used to like them when I was a teen, but now they just freak the heck out of me! The scariest ones I've seen, that absolutely sent my into panic attacks walking to my car afterward were The Exorcist and (I think) The Believers, or something like that- it had Martin Sheen in it and it was about Santeria. The Nightmare on Elm Street movies quite literally cause sleepless nights, I can't watch them anymore. My favorite movie ever is Psycho, I can watch that (and any of the sequels) endlessly- it's not quite so scary as there is less of the supernatural involved- just good old crazy people!

That was "Dreamcatcher". I read the book and was just terrified by it, so I'm not even going to attempt the movie! Though if you liked it, it must not have been too bad, huh? BTW, Stephen King fans- the newest Dark Tower book comes out on Tuesday!!!!!

Take care, and watch out for the boogeymen....

Salem's Lot, i watched as a teenager while babysitting for my sisiter's kids I then had to walk home alone, the memory of that walk (run). Just going to check the doors are locked

dottie · 03 Nov 2003, 17:09

Seems so strange us all talking about films I grew up with, but for most of you there 'new'.

My favourites are:-

Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Exorcist, The Entity, Night of the Living Dead, all the Dracula films

Loved the book (one of my favourites),but the film was just pants

.
They changed names characters and events for no apparent reason

.
The worst thing they did was the changes they made to Barlow and Straker.In the book Straker was the servant while Barlow was the brains of the operation.I found that Straker was much more in control in the movie,while Barlow was portrayed as a very dumb creature.Although Straker did refare to Barlow as "the master" once,I still feel that there was a very heavy element of "zombie slave controled by human master"

.
Apart from his cunning (which he lost completly in the movie),Barlow's greatest threat was his ability to pass for a human.I don't know what book the director read,but I don't know many seven foot tall purple humans with a mouth full of steak knives

.

The most positive thing I can say about it was that it was not nearly as ridiculous as the sequel

still,to end on a positive note,the best movie version of a S.K. book i've seen would have to be Misery.Not 100% faithful to the book,but still a very good film

.Cathy Bates and James Caan were fantastic

.
