Karma: 52 |  | Top Ten Horror Movies
« Thread Started on Oct 6, 2006, 1:44pm » | |
With Halloween just around the corner, we thought we would compile a list of the top ten Horror films. Featuring high in the top ten is ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’ starring Robert Englund as the infamous Freddy Kruger. Robert Englund also stars in ‘2001 Maniacs’, a film so gory that cinemas are too afraid to allow it in so instead it is released on DVD October 23rd.
1.The Shining (1980)
‘All work and no play make Jack a dull boy’
Stanley Kubrick’s film of a family who head to an isolated hotel for the winter where an evil and spiritual presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from the past and of the future
2. The Evil Dead
‘Can they be stopped?’
Five friends go up to a cabin in the woods where they find unspeakable evil lurking in the forest. They find the Necronomicon and the taped translation of the text. Once the tape is played, the evil is released. One by one, the teens become deadly zombies. With only one remaining, it is up to him to survive the night and battle the evil dead.
3. A Nightmare on Elm Street
‘If Nancy doesn’t wake up screaming, she won’t wake up at all’
Nancy and her friends are having violent nightmares which all feature one common element, a disfigured serial killer with a glove made of razors on his right hand. When one of the group is murdered in their sleep. Nancy realises that she must stay awake and try uncovering the truth behind this phantasmal killer Freddy Krueger
4. The Haunting
‘You may not believe in Ghosts, but you cannot deny terror’
Dr. Markway investigates Hill House, a large, eerie mansion with a lurid history of violent death and insanity. With him are the skeptical Luke, the clairvoyant Theodora and the insecure Eleanor. As time goes by it becomes obvious that they have gotten more than they bargained for as the ghostly presence in the house manifests itself in horrific and deadly ways.
5. Halloween
‘The night HE came home!’
A group of unsuspecting teenage girls are stalked by an escaped mental patient who murdered his sister on Halloween when he was only six years old. He has returned to his hometown to repeat his crime, pursued only by his psychiatrist, who believes that his patient is the manifestation of pure evil.
6. Alien
‘In space, no one can hear you scream’
When commercial towing vehicle Nostromo, heading back to Earth, intercepts an SoS signal from a nearby planet, the crew are under obligation to investigate. After a bad landing on the planet, some crew members leave the ship to explore the area. At the same time as they discover a hive colony of some unknown creature, the ship's computer deciphers the message to be a warning, not a call for help.
7. Dawn of The Dead
‘When there’s no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth’
This sequel to "Night of the Living Dead" is filled with splattered blood and brains in living color. The dead have come back to life to eat the living. This is the story of the escape of four people from an urban nightmare to a suburban nightmare. They barricade themselves in a shopping mall and try to start new lives.
8. Evil dead 2: Dead by Dawn
‘Kiss your nerves goodbye’
This sequel features Ash and his girlfriend in the beginning, where Ash must now survive another night in the cabin accompanied now by the Professor's daughter, a mechanic, an associate of the Professor, and the mechanic's girlfriend. But the thing in the darkness vows that they will be -- Dead By Dawn.
9. Psycho
‘She might have fooled me, but she didn’t fool my mother’
Marion Crane is a working girl fed up with having to sneak away during lunch breaks to meet her lover Sam. One day Marion steals $40,000 in cash and leaves town with the money. As night falls Marion turns off the main highway to spend the night at the desolate Bates Motel. The motel is run by Norman Bates, a man dominated by his invalid mother. After Norman fixes her a light dinner, Marion goes back to her room for a shower....
10. The Exorcist
‘The Devil Inside’
Based on the 1971 novel by William Peter Blatty, The Exorcist marries three different scenarios into one extraordinary plot. A visiting actress in Washington, D.C., notices dramatic and dangerous changes in the behavior and physical make-up of her 12-year-old daughter. Meanwhile, a young priest at nearby Georgetown University begins to doubt his faith while dealing with his mother's terminal sickness. And, book-ending the story, a frail, elderly priest recognizes the necessity for a show-down with an old demonic enemy.

I thought the Exorcist was pretty tame really, even the infamous crucifix scene didint raise my eyebrows.
What is it about this film that is supossed to be so scary?

I still won't watch the exorcist because I am of the generation that was originally freaked out by it.....however my 14 year old son announced he had watched the directors cut of it one night after I had gone to bed, sat all on his own and he thought it wasn't scary at all!
I dunno kids these days.....
