and change your mind.

Might have to keep an eye peeled for those ones myself. I love a good horror movie every now and then.

Anyway, five of my choices;

The Shining
The Thing
Invasion Of the Body Snatchers (1979)
Evil Dead II
Dawn Of the Dead (both versions)

All four I posted are either banned or heavily cut in the U.K. They take horror into a new level.

I saw this one and it didn't scare me. All the funky camera tricks were sooo annoying ..

Lots of later horror movies like Thir13en Ghosts, Darkness, Boogeyman (Oh God how horrible) and so on have all this daft camera trickery. F.ex you see the ghost at the end of the corridor, then it cuts to the next picture and the ghost is a bit closer etc. Sometimes there's so much of this dumb camera crap I find it actually distracts me from the horror because I get annoyed.

But seriously, people who have not seen The Changeling should watch it. It's not a film made to please the teenagers out there, but those who are a bit older and like a good mystery/ghost story should enjoy this one (Looking at you, Lee!).

That's a great movie! I first saw it when I was a preteen and love it, then saw it again in my 20 and still loved it.

Another movie in a similar vein that's really good is The Sentinel. It only gets a 6 out of 10 at IMDb but I think it's much better movie than that.

I want to put out there how much I hated The Shining. It was the longest, most boring horror movie I've ever seen. I'm not into those gorey horror movies either, as they increase my gag reflexes.

As far as my limited taste in horror movies go, I can't get enough of The Candyman. I can imagine many won't agree with me but I think the racial divide of society was appropriately emphasised throughout the movie, an issue still quite apparent in America in the 90's. I liked how the Candyman was still killing because he was trying to not loose his frightening image, and without people's belief in him he would not exist. Although the plot lost focus near the end I think the general story of the Candyman was interesting and funnily enough it still scares me. But I have said his name five times in the mirror and have not been gutted from my groin to my throat.

The best horror movie of all time in my opinion is "The Hitcher" (1986).

By the time this movie is over you will have no intentions of picking up a hitchhiker ever in your life. The scariest factor of the movie is how Rutger Hauer (the guy who playes the hitch hiker) plays such a believable role. And I think what is so scary to me about the movie is how easily and how fast this could really happen.

I think everyone should see this movie at least once.
