I want to see Saw 2, enjoyed the first one, but I have to wait until Caroline can't go with me since she is in no way interested in those types of horror films.
She has agreed to see the remake of the Fog and we just recently caught the original again on TV. I'm not expecting much out of it but hopefully it'll at least be fun.
As for what I like the most, give me the zombies any day. I grew up on horror films, my mom loved them. Late night triple feature at the drive-in in Pheonix seeing shows like The Devil's Rain, 2000 Maniacs, Blood Farmers. I don't watch them as much as I did growing up though. But I have been able to get Caroline to watch two zombie flicks and she's admitted to liking them, the remake of Dawn of the Dead and Romero's recent Land of the Dead.

boogeyman was a good movie, saw that in the summer and i was surprised at good i thought it was. Some of the movies i remember from my younger years Dawn of the Dead Mothers Day The Fog The Thing-remake boogeyman, i saw a movie in the early 80's, i dont remember anything about it but i know i liked it. I dont think the new boogeyman is a remake of it Evil Dead Dead Alive- i think thats what its called, really really good movie, at least when i was younger.

LAB., Sorry, I don't agree with you about Boogeyman. I expected it to be a lot better than it was. I coulda/shoulda been a psychological thriller, but it ended up just being another cgi special effects yawn.
Bravo has been showing it's top 100 scariest movie moments show recently. Jaws is the #1 scariest movie. There are lots of great ones listed, of course. I have always been scared by The Exorcist.
I like scary movies but my wife does not. My kids are at the age where we are not sure if we should let them see certain movies, some we don't mind. None of us have seen Saw yet, but I want to. I think The Fog looks dumb.

Fiiiiiiinally...A thread about Horror Movies! I was going to start one myself but never got around to it. I think Ive mentioned it elsewhere, but Im a tad obsessed with movies. I draw a fine line between Art and Trash. But I love trash...and Im generally not satisfied if I dont see a violent death within the first 15 minutes or at the very least some Boobies. I agree with Sketch though. Boogeyman Sucked. Damn you Barry Watson! DAMN YOU!!! the "Boogyman" that Labradorian is talking about is most likely either "Stephen Kings' the Boogeyman" (1982) or 1980's "the Boogeyman", which is basically a bad "Halloween" Knockoff ((it also had 2 sequels, the last released in 94'...they didnt get any better)) Oddly enough "Halloween" is also known as "Boogeyman"
Now...on the Subject of Halloween. "Season of the Witch" ((#3)) aside, "Halloween" is one of my favoritest things in the World. fair enough, "Reserection" ((#9) was kinda Lame...But "Halloween : Retribution" , to be realesed in 2006 should be better. oh...and Something cool that I found out yesterday? Danielle Harris aka Jamie Lloyd does the Voice of Debbie in the "Wild Thornberries".
theres also Rumours of a "Freddy vs Jason vs Michael (Myers)" floating about. Which would be super-cooooool
ummmm....I have more to say on this subject...but I dont really have time to write any more. I might start a new thread.

Ah Hell....Ive got another couple of minutes.
"Saw" In my opinion, was a damn good movie. I took my sister to see it , knowing what it was, but not the Twist (thankfully) and I thouroughly enjoyed it. I mean C'MON! Dinah "Batgirl" Myer?!? Shawnee Smith?!? Frigging Cary "Westley" Elwes!?!? loved loved loved it. My Sister and I were the only other people in the theatre other then another couple. after it was over the guy in the couple...visibly shaken....told us that they didnt know what they were going to see as they'd just bought a Ticket for the first movie they could see. he then asked us if we were as "Freaked out" as they were...and Kate (my Sister) just sneered at him. heh.
Despite the American Cast, Saw is Actually an Australian Film, and the fact that it was so good pleases me as prior to the release of Saw, the only notable Horror releases from Australia over the past couple of years were the So-So "Cut" starring Molly Ringwald (uh-huh_ and Kylie Minogue (look! how sweet! she thinks she can act!) - A "Scream" alike about a Cursed Movie that a group of Uni Students attempt to finish 20 years after the death of its director. The Monster comes alive, Molly Ringwald wears bad clothes, Hijinks ensue - AND "CubbyHouse" Staring Josh "Blair Witch" Leonard...about a demonic Cubbyhouse. uh-huh. ((Im not sure if Cubbyhouse is a purely Australian Term...but its basically a childs Fort..or playhouse))...if you get thet chance to see it, Dont.
Wait...Im forgetting "Undead". If you get a chance to see Undead...Do. It trails off abit towards the end but its pretty good....and it has Zombies. So yay.
just a quick sidenote...Leigh Whanell, Who stared in "Saw" as Adam and also Co-Wrote it, has been the Grunge Generations' Movie Review Guy...he was originally a part of the Saturday morning youth-orientated "Recovery" and then as Movie Review guy on various shows, magazines etc over the years. Its good to see him actually making the movies these days.
oh yeah..."Wolf Creek"
Now thats what I call good Australian Horror.
Try not to throw up/leave the cinema.

In that scariest movie moments show, they list "The Audition" as a super freaky movie. I guess this adorably sweet young woman tortures a guy in utterly ghastly ways. Just hearing about the things she does makes me uncomfortable. In fact, I don't think I even want to rent it. Maybe I do? I dunno. Heh...
I wonder if Bravo actually lists all the movies on their website? They seem like a bunch of "must sees."

I saw that special twice and have been enjoying it. I, of course, don't necessarily agree with the order, but I love seeing these types of horror lists.
Audition looks terrifying and now I'm interested. I never heard of it before but holy moley, the two second preview itself creeped me out!
JoeBoy, I've posted this before, but the "Halloween" movies have been a major favorite of mine since I was about 8 and snucked my friend's copy of Halloween 5 into my house and watched it. I've been loving them ever since, no matter how bad they get (the latest ones have actually been the weakest IMO).
I love cheap B-grade Horror. Love, love, love it. The Phantasm films are big favorites.
I've gotten my brother and g/f into horror too, and actually just borrowed Saw and the Ring from her (great Valentine's day gifts ) so my bro can watch them, since he's never seen either. Ring was a great movie, though not necessarily scary, and Saw was very creepy and good. I also might watch the original "Night of the Living Dead" in honor of Halloween weekend.
What I try to do when I have a horror movie night (which I don't do nearly as much as my roomates and I did in college) is try to mix an older movie with a gory 60/70's movie, and an 80's slasher/modern horror movie. Currently, I'm trying to watch the Hammer Horror films of the late 50's/60's, most of which I've never seen. The more Christopher Lee (now my favorite Dracula of all time) the better.
