my personal favourite is the classic 80's horror the hitcher,with rutger hauer(very underrated as an actor in my opinion).closely followed by the film demons by dario argento(scared the living crap outta me when i was 12).

The Thing, no question, the absolute pinnacle of horror films, Alien is also great but more sci fi than horror.

Great choices, the Hitcher and The Thing.
I rate [b]Near Dark[/b] up there with those.
Also The Exorcist
I did like Blair Witch Project, but not something I've bothered watching since the first time.

+1 for American Werewolf. Although it's more of a comedy IMO
+1 for Salem's Lot as well.

Anyone else find The Exorcist really disappointing and not scary?

I love The House on Haunted Hill (I'm a bit of a Vincent Price fan)

The Orphanage is great, as is Devil's Backbone.

Not really horror, but the Silence of The Lambs films are fantastic.

Evil dead 1 2 and 3
Blair witch + space cake, oh the memories.
Arachnophobia as I turn into a girl when there are spiders around.
Friday 13th
And most of the eighties ones. There were some proper classics around. I think I have forgotten most of them.

Is The Thing the one where the alien creature keeps transfering from one body to another? and another creature is chasing it? or is that another Carpenter film?

Have to agree on The Hitcher.

If you want a horror that is so bad it is good try Monster Man.

I think this was called the Hidden and it was excellent.

Dark Night of the [url=

This scared the shit out of me when I was a kid!!

Another vote for The Hitcher because there is nothing supernatural about it that requires suspension of disbelief.

Also, Last House on the Left and I Spit on Your Grave.

all mine have been said above.

The thing
Event horizon
The Blair witch (first time i saw it i thought it was sh*t but then the second time it just stuck in your head and creeps you out)

Wolf Creek - another head wrecker, not all out blood n guts but sticks in your head

Salems lot - my cousin was 17 and put this on for me (i was 11) telling me it was a film about lost kids. I sat through it crying, he wouldnt make me lave the room, i had nightmares for years after!

The Ring - the only horror film that has made me reeeeeeally jump, the bit where she comes out the TV!!

28 Days later - another classic, the little bits that freak you out, london streets empty and he motorway blocked off, they way it was shot was great.

Ooh ooh horror thread! sorry I love horror flicks esp old ones.

The Fog ('81),
The Mist,
The Lost Boys,
One Missed Call,
The Blob,
Haunting in Conneticut (spelt wrong),
Prince of Darkness,
And Alien but more Sci-fi I guess.

Adds:

I know what you did last summer and Urban Legend.
