Best Horror Film ?
Alright everyone. Halloween is coming up, and it's time for the serious horror film watching to begin. Post the most scary/suspenseful/horrific/frightening movie you've seen, so I can start compiling a list of what to see on the 31st.
Keep in mind, I don't want Freddy Krueger - those are just idiotic.
I saw The Haunting(1960s version); you can still list it, but I won't be watching it again for Halloween.

I don't know about best, but The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the new one) was pretty damn good (and scary)

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 
Flesh For Frankenstein with Udo Kier is one of the coolest "horror" movies I have ever seen! Gore, sex and lots of "Gewman Inglisch"

There was a TV miniseries based on the book, Sloww. It was released just a few years ago.
My vote? The Exorcist, especially the DVD edition.

A few of my favorite thriller/horror movies (some more for the atmosphere than for the scares):
The old universal classics (Mummy, Frankenstein, Invisible Man, etc)
House on Haunted Hill (The William Castle version)
Hush, Hush, Sweet Charolette
The Devil Rides Out
Phantom of The Opera (Hammer version)
The Omen
Lady in White (probably my favorite)
Silence of the Lambs

"The Wicker Man" is my favourite. Closely followed by "Don't look now". I like the more cerebral horror.
I'm a Romero fan too, so the "Dead" movies have to feature.

Just have to keep agreeing.
Hush, Hush, Sweet Charolette made me a nervous wreck.
So did Helter-Skelter.

Some of my favourites......
Ringu (jap. v. of the ring) and Dark Water - Great horror movies by the Japanese director, some of the best I EVER have seen.
The Others - Very well made...
The fearless vampire killers and Rosemary’s baby - Two vary nice Polanski masterpieces...
The hills have eyes - This is one of Wes Cravens first movies ever made and it is surprisingly good. There is that typical "seventies mood" to it. Like in the chainsaw massacre and others.
Nosferatu – A classic…..still one of the best vampire movies ever made.
Don’t forget all of those cosy zombie movies! Dawn/Day/Return of the dead, Zombie flesh eaters etc.etc…….
The list can go on and on and on……

Unquestionably. Forget all the sci-fi trappings. Alien is a horror film, through and through.
Alien was horror first, scifi distant second.
Aliens was action first, scifi distant second.
Alien 3 & 4 were scifi first, and consequently, nowhere near as good.

you got it dead on. Alien 3 and 4 was a poor attempt to expand the alien universe, but ended up sucking.
alien was one fo the early movies that pioneered trapped in an enviornment, killer on the loose type of movies.
aliens was nowhere as good but action and the funny dialogue makes it enjoyable to watch.
