If you want horror with a black comedy twist try Dog Soldiers, I laughed all the way through it, but it has a scary edge too.

If you mean The Ted Bundy movie, yes I've seen it. Very, very disturbing subject matter.

For a decent horror movie that's good fun too, the "Scream" trilogy takes some beating. Each installment gets funnier and less scary, but they are all great popcorn horror films.

Similarly, Final Destination 1 and 2, and I Know What You Did Last Summer and it's sequel, I STILL Know What You Did Last Summer (thank GOD for copy and paste :lol:), are "post modern" horror films in the same funny / scary vein.

I've always had a soft spot for the old Hammer horror movies .... Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Boris Karloff. Must be the bats and vampires! :lol:

Try the original Japanese version of The Ring, "Ringu". Tne times better than the original.

That or Ichi The Killer.

That or the Silent Hill video game series. The Japs know how to scare people.

I find that the film 'The Black Cat' with Bela Lugozi creeps me out in a most satisfactory manner. It's black and white but really good and is a suspense horror movie which i find is better than those films with death and destruction at every turn. :lurk:

Failing that, make her watch Bambi. That is so cute and sad that it's freaky 8O

Have to agree with TRex - The Final Destination movies were great!!

Although, for a true scare, I've always gone back to The Hitcher with Rutger Hauer. Not much gore and it leaves alot of the "scare" to your own imagination. Oh, and Identity was awesome - fablous twist at the end!!

Hmmmm - maybe I've spento too much time watching horror movies, eh??

Oh yes, I love all those Edgar Alan Poe stories that have been turned into horror movies too! The Fall Of The House Of Usher, The Murders On The Rue Morgue, The Pit And The Pendulum .... great, creepy storytelling! :devil:

For 'funny' horror you really can't beat the Freddy series (Freddy vs Jason was particularly hysetrical!)
On the other hand watching Event Horizion in the dark scared me stupid...

One of the very best and way too under-rated horror movies is The Wicker Man starring Christopher Lee and Edward Woodward. I can't recommend that one highly enough.

The Witchfinder General starring Vincent Price is another classic too.

Ah, yes you can. In the genre of funny horror, I trump your Freddie Vs. Jason with:

House on Haunted Hill is a good one, also 13 Ghosts.

For the best horror I'd say "Glitter" (starring Mariah Carey) or "The Bodyguard" (Whitney Houston also sings in that one). :)

The problem with horrormovies is that I mostly find them hilariously funny and not scary at all.

13 Ghosts was great, but the ending was way too cheesy!! I had such high hopes until the last 15 minutes!!

I'll send you a home video of my daughter's bedroom, also known as the 'Pit of Doom'. It has all the hallmarks of being a best selling horror movie - furry things that crawl across plates under the bed, glasses with evil looking dried liquid in them, sharp objects disguised under innocent looking heaps of clothes........you get the picture.

Believe me, it's that scarey that even the dogs won't go in there. 8O

The Flying Mouse

Aha, Mariella, a kindred spirit - I can't stand horror movies either - they terrify me! The one I saw by accident at the cinema years ago had Rula Lenska giving birth to devil children through huge blisters on her stomach, and Oliver Reed was the goodie trying to get rid of them....... the scene that really did me in was when 3 of the 'children' popped up in the back seat of his car and attacked him. I insisted my boyfriend at the time checked the interior of the car thoroughly before I would get in it!! Had bad dreams for weeks about that one![/quote]

For a good Horror movie... you can't go wrong with Stephen King...

Tommyknockers, Rose Red and Christine being among my all time favourite films...

Identity was indeed a brilliant film...

And William... there is a difference between Horror and horrific? :wink:

Stephen King´s books are more scary than those movies... But Ring´s originally version (Japanese) thats scary stuff...
