3. I forgot what my third point was going to be...so instead, I'll say this: ME GO PEE PEE IN YOUR COKE.
EDIT: I remember what my third point was going to be: I want to watch all of these NOT to be scared, but to...watch...them? I heard the general story behind Freddie (his mother raped in a hospital or something, and he got burned or whatever?), but I want to actually see all of them and study his behaviour. Yeah, I know. It sounds stupid, but I find it fun, so stfu.
ALSO: The Ring was more sad than it was scary, to be honest; I felt sorry for Samara. Also, The Grudge was hilarious. How the hell did people find it scary... Same with Shutter.

You already said you won't torrent/stream them. What else do you want us to say? Your only other option is to rent or -shudder- buy them.
Side note: The Ring and the Grudge are the most PATHETIC movies I've ever seen. I actually want to punch anyone in the face who thought they were "scary" (or any variation of the word).
...
Especially when they saw it was teens/older.

Was making it clear for that one guy.
And I'll end up renting them probably, since I don't know anyone I can borrow them from. And no, I am not buying them. -shudders also-
I agree. They are nowhere near scary.

I don't know what was so scary about "Dead Silence." It was a pretty average horror movie with a stupid twist. Nothing too memorable. Not scary.
"Paranormal Activity" really scared me. One horror movie that I couldn't stomach was "Audition." It was ****ed up. |

Paranormal Activity was stupid. They just filmed it with a normal video camera rather than a movie camera, and suddenly that makes stupid movies scary? Lol...
And Gorey movies don't count as horror; they are just that retarded.
Also, Dead Silence does have a stupid twist, I agree, but it's how they have things popping out almost every minute, and that one scene with the clown...*shudder* HATE CLOWNS.

Paranormal Activity is one of those movies that really has people divided. I personally thought it wasn't stupid at all. I liked the fact that it wasn't your typical slasher flick with a monster running around killing people off one by one. It wasn't because of the handheld camera that I found the movie scary. In fact, shaky cameras give me a headache. I liked the build up of suspense. I was dreading the moments when the time slowed down on their camera. And as crazy as it sounds, it seemed so realistic. I could just imagine hearing THUMP THUMP THUMP noises coming up the stairs while I slept at night!
"Audition" actually is considered a horror movie. It definitely elicited a lot of horror in me! Not all horror movies have a supernatural entity. |

Paranormal Activity was ridiculous. Same with Fourth Kind.
Honestly, standards these days... down the drain.

Why did you think it was ridiculous? It certainly isn't the best horror movie ever made, but I thought it was enjoyable and a nice alternative to the stupid slasher flicks/remakes that come out every year.
Which horror movies do you like? |

Someone should make a real horror movie. I'd pay them a million bucks, plus a golden banana.

What you guys fail to realize is the point Paranormal Activity proved. They made it on a cheap-ass budget without much special equipment, yet it was so realistic in terms of the setting. It shows you that it's not special effects that makes a horror. It's easy to make a horror so long as you associate it so closely to everyday life that you think it's real. And that's why so many people thought that the movie was actually real. The fact that it was filmed like a documentary brings the point across...the point that it wasn't meant to scare you during the movie as much as it was meant to scare you after watching it, alone in bed at night. I have to admit...I was pretty jumpy. I heard stuff that wasn't there.
And yes, Silence of the Lambs was the best horror//thriller ever. It had such a solid story, and made you so nervous and tense without having to make you 'jump' even once during the entire movie.

I literally enjoy all horror movies, regardless of how stupid I say they are. I just like that genre. 
But to be more specific? Cube is AWESOME. More specifically, the first one. Also Canadian, I believe (big shocker there, lol)
House on Haunted Mansion? or something. Don't remember it too much.
And something with 13 in the title. And a glass house. Or something.

Saw all three Cube films. I have to agree that the First one was way better than the other two.
Never heard of; is it good?

Reeves posted the titles above.
I dunno about good, but I remember enjoying them some 8-9 odd years ago.
