It's that time of year!

Well almost.

Horror movies. Okay for the most part the modern ones tend to be generally shit but still good popcorn fun.

Do you like the cult classics, the B movies?

So which genre is your favourite?

Demonic/Possession

Paranormal

Monster

Slasher

Zombie

Gore

Witchcraft

Clasic - Vampire/werewolf/Frankenstein

Which is your favourite horror movie?

Actually, same.

I’m not much into horror, but I do have a thing for dark stories with fucked-up Christian mythology. Demons, angels, possession, all that jazz.

Not a film, but have you watched the series Midnight Mass? Horror series set on an island among an ultra religious fishing community.

Haven't found a show yet (breaking bad is the only exception) that doesn't fall apart after few episodes/second season.

I love a good monster flick myself; Werewolves, vampires etc.

An American Werewolf In London was, for me, the perfect blend of horror and comedy.

Dog Soldiers was incredibly fun to

Paranormal is my favourite genre. The less is shown, the better.

Some personal favourites: Ring (Japanese version), the Blair Witch Project, Rosemary’s Baby, the Ninth Gate (some cultish tones in the last two movies named).

Oh I'd forgotten about the ring, I loved that film. I agree it's scarier the less you actually see, when I was younger I loved jeepers creepers, right up until the end and you actually saw it. Ruined!

The Wailing is fantastic if you've not seen that. Hereditary is the same director as Midsommar and so good. There's also The Last Exorcism.

I'm trying to think of the name of one which isn't strictly horror (as in, doesn't feature supernatural etc) but does have a cult. It's a horror in my eyes. Think it's called Red or something? Off to Google, failing that ask my dorky friend.

It's less about the genre than the time - I like black and white horror films from the 1930s-1950s. I don't like slasher films, gore, jump scares etc - I prefer atmosphere. That said, I do like Cronenberg and Carpenter even though they can be a bit bloody.

I don't have a favourite genre

, subgenre when it comes to horror films. I'm not one for torture porn but aside from that I'm rather easy.

I like comedy horror (Tucker and Dale Vs Evil being a standout. Oh and Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon). I have a soft spot for Underworld (vampire films in general like Thirst, The Hamiltons). I love paranormal like Sinister, Sci-fi like The Thing. Dog Soldiers is so good! As is Jennifer's Body.

I have a real adoration for foreign horror films; the aforementioned Thirst. The Host. El Espinoza del Diablo. Rec. Train To Busan, Goodnight Mommy, Cronos...

I'm looking forward to Talk To Me being released on Netflix soon - Le Monde has been listened to a lot recently.

And thank you sensual! Red State is what I was thinking of.

I finally watched Renfield last week.

Meh….but Nicolas Cage was good as Dracula at least, as was Nicholas Hoult, as the titular protagonist.

Actually, talking of Hoult, have you all watched Warm Bodies with him in it?

It’s a rather unique zombie film and boasts surely the happiest, most upbeat and genuinely touching endings in the entire zombie genre

Oh Renfield! I liked it. It was... ridiculous but very much Cage. Nicholas Hoult was confusingly attractive as Renfield.

I quite like the vampire movies, particularly the lost boys, interview with a vampire and the underworld films.

But I like all types of horror to a point. Hostel and the hills have eyes was a bit too much for me.

Yup, in most cases - when something is suggested throughout a movie and then shown at the end - it ends up being disappointing. That’s why I’ve never really given any weight to the most common criticism towards the Blair Witch Project (“you see nothing at the end”), because showing something would have probably worked against the movie.

Others I can think of: Psycho, the Birds, It (with Tim Curry as Pennywise, traumatising!), the Shining (THAT scene with the twin girls

I saw Tucker & Dale recently and enjoyed it. Have you seen the Ash vs Evil Dead series? Absolutely hilarious fun.

couple, us we him her.

Given up on pretty much all movies in horror as they are so predictable and samey.

It's either extreme violence for the sake of it

Terrible plots.

Awful CGI.

Or totally nonsense paranormal stuff that follows the same tired format.

My favourite horror films;

Frankenstein / Bride Of Frankenstein / Son Of Frankenstein (the rest of the series have good points but the first 3 with Karloff as the creature are the best).

Island Of Lost Souls (1931 adaptation of HG Wells' Island Of Dr Moreau).

Night Of The Demon (1957)

Army Of Darkness

Gremlins 1 and 2

Invasion Of the Body Snatchers (70s version)

Pan's Labyrinth

John Carpenter's The Thing

Videodrome

Eraserhead

Probably loads of others I've forgotten.

That was a fun one

On the same lycanthrope lines, Big Bad Wolf was another horror/comedy certainly worthy of a watch
