First off...I'm 21 years old.
I fawking LOVE horror movies, but almost every horror film released in modern times is basically just watching a girl have blood thrown on her while she screams over and oooover and oooooover and OOOOOOOOOVVVEEER AGAIN!
...Anyway. I'm also quite uneasily phased. But now this comes down to what sort of elements in a horror movie frighten you.
If sudden POP UPS with loud noises scare you the most then...huzzah...but for me, it's the subtle, quieter, more eerie things that frighten me.
Now everybody can laugh as much as they want to...but a few of my favourite horror films are as follows.
John Carpenter's "The Fog". I mean the OLDER one, not that stupid stupid STUPID new one they made. The original
The Fog, scared me as a child and still frightens me today. The tall dark shapes moving in the fog is just plain creepy. Very well directed movie.
The Haunting AGAIN the old one please. The new one was just...laughable. The old black and white version had one of the scariest haunted house stories I'd seen in awhile. Cool thing is you pretty much just scare yourself by wondering what the hell could be making all those terrifying noises in the house.
The Blair Witch Project...not everybody's cup of tea. Perhaps the fact that I used to live in a forest JUST like the one it took place in made is even more terrifying for me...but this film actually made me squeeze a pillow; ready to bury my face in it whenever something happened. If you can get past the really poor film quality and the bumpy, BUMPY camera.
The Uninvited AGAAAIN THE OLD ONE! The new one's plot has nothing to do with this one. Good luck actually FINDING this movie but again this is a black and white movie about a house haunted by two rivaling ghost women.
Only sad part is most of the movie is more like an old "would you like 2 lumps in your tea sir?" kind of film, but when the scary moments arrive (like the ghost awakening everyone with her crying), it's really great.
The Candyman The Candyman really really surprised me. I wasn't expecting to actually get a little scared and enjoy every second of this film. It was very good...that's all I have to say. Check it out.
So that's all I'll name for now. A few more films I love are Saw, American Psycho, most Alfred Hitchcock movies, and all the good ol' classics. But these films don't really scare me much they just make me happy.
LONG LIVE HALLOWEEN! (the holiday not the movie...but the movie rocks too)
