What is your #1 favorite horror flick of all time? (Page 1 of 3)

This is a ridiculously hard question but if I had to take 1 movie, it would probably be Nightmare on Elm St.  That or Scream...

LOL!  Yes I know it is difficult to choose!

I haven't seen Nightmare On Elm Street in ages.

I will have to go with the original 50's Godzilla movie. It was dark, gritty, and very serious in tone and Godzilla is the ultimate giant monster.

Day of the Dead 85

I also have Godzilla figures too such as the original Godzilla, Destroyah, and Robo-Zilla. My Dad's just as big of a fan too.

Probably Suspiria. Can't decide.

^^^ Checked that flick out for the first time just a few months ago and thought it was great.  Loved Peter Cushing bounding around the room in the final scene and Christopher Lee's garrish bloody eyes and fangs, while campy, were still pretty creepy.  Hammer Horror has always been the one genre area I lacked in (I don't think I've seen but two or three HH flicks) but after HOD I've made a concerted effort to check out more Hammer flicks.

Lon! Horror Of Dracula as you yanks call it, it's called simply " Dracula" over here is the best film the old Hammer ever did. a few other recommedations are " The Vampire Lovers" " Quatermass & The Pit",  " Twins Of Evil", " Dracula, Prince Of Darkness, " Vampire Circus" " Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed". and many others although some are pretty poor. Ask the lovely Mary she loves em and is more of an expert on them than me.

DG -- I have Curse of Frankenstein on my PC, as well as Plague of the Zombies (I think that's Hammer, yes?) and will be checking them out.

Wolfie -- I actually have all those titles you mentioned (plus a couple more) on my to-do list.  I've heard of several of them -- most notably Twins of Evil and Quatermass -- I've just never gotten around to watching them. 

Yes I am! 

That is how I feel about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

It just has EVERYTHING a great horror movie should AND it did not even need "gore" to  scare the pants off people. There was no gore at all. They appealed to our imagination and  the scary background noises/music just made it feel CREEPY during the whole movie!

Also, I just cannot think of  any other actress MORE terrified and more REAL than Marilyn Burns! Man on man!  All that screaming and going out of her mind at the end when she hops in a truck to freedom. She is laughing and crying at the same time and blood red from jumping out the window.
The whole "final" ending had such a SURREAL look to it!
