Salem’s Lot used to terrify me. If I showed it to my kids, now, I think they’d laugh there arses off.

Never been scared of them really, although there are some films that make you feel uneasy like visitor Q, a serbian film and the amusement park.

It is yea, it’s made well. Although you’ll feel very uneasy about getting old.

Not a long film either so worth one watch.

Sinister, The Entity, Arachnaphobia and the original Japanese version of The Grudge all caused a loss of sleep.

Mama left me feeling disturbed too, but more because of the play on the motherly bond.

Uneasiest horror film to watch for me was Cannibal Holocaust. I watched it purely because I had heard so much about it and I promised never to watch it again

I am fascinated with horrors and true crime, its funny though as I'm terrified of absolutely everything in real life.

A film I love and watch once a year is Hostel, just the whole idea of it and the acting was pretty good too which is unusual for a horror.

Love all the 80s and 80s ones that I grew up watching, nightmare on elm Street, child's play, Friday 13th ect.

I went through a period of watching the Friday 13th films back to back. It's funny to see the point they stopped caring and made it cheesey and funny.

To be fair I do like horror with a mix of comedy

I don’t really do horrors, I’m too chicken lol. Nightmare on Elm Street gave me nightmares just from seeing tiny clips. And more recently, The Strangers freaked me out, especially when it tells you it’s based on real life.

Love a thriller and real crime though. As long as the baddie is killed in the end

Horror films generally don't scare me, but there are a lot of classics.

If you fancy watching a newish one that I think will end up a classic, then the Fear Street Trilogy on Netflix will get to that status I'm sure.

First one has been released, next comes out this Friday and the next the following Friday.

The Fear Street books were written by R.L Stine. Same author of the Goosebumps books. He must have made an absolute fortune in the last few years.

Yea I looked at that, but there were too many books for me to think about reading them, so the 3 films will do for me.

I watched Fear Street last weekend and thought it was great. I didn't find that scary though but that's because I like slasher movies. Looking forward to seeing the next two Fear Street films.

There's only one film that freaked me out and that was The Exorcist. I'll never watch that again lol x

I find Horror books are scarier than the movies. I read the Manitou and was shit scared, Watched the movie and was disappointed. I read the Exorcist and it was scary the movie was good but not as scary as the book. Your own imagination is generally better at scaring you than someone else's.

I've really gotten into the black and white era of Hollywood horror - Bela Lugosi's Dracula, Boris Karloff's Frankenstein, Island of Lost Souls (the first and best adaptation of HG Wells' Island of Dr Moreau).

Also early/mid Cronenberg - Shivers, Rabid, Videodrome, The Fly...

There’s horror and there’s horror, love the old classics like some have said, Hammer house classics but the there are two I find truly terrifying and both are based on true stories. Midnight Express and Wolf Creek… I’d face a vampire or werewolf over either of those

I think "The Haunting" with Claire Bloom made in Black and White in 1963 has stayed with me as a really disturbing and horrifying movie. Still creates rising terror!

It is all suggestion, camera and iconography but my goodness it works.

I watched Poltergeist for the first time recently. Bits of it were still really effective - the part with the chairs in the kitchen as the camera follows the mum, and they've all been stacked on top of the table when she goes back is a great effect because you can't see the cut. Some of the effects though are dated and the ending gets a bit literal for me with the coffins and the skeletons.

Agreed, but sometimes they do spin things rather well.

Not really a future classic, but I thought Blood Red Sky (Dubbed on Netflix) was a good one.

The original Wes Cravens The Last House on the Left ...grimy n grim early 70s exploitation with some genuinely disturbing non-supernatural horror n nasty under the skin character acting weirdly contrasted by oddball corny knockabout " comedy" scenes with the guy from Cagney n Lacey as backward sheriff type ! ...but dont fret ...after all "its only a movie ...its only a movie !" ...

I just watched C.H.U.D after a load of friends telling me it was a classic, and all I gotta say is....

What a pile of C.R.U.D.

Strange seeing actors in it who were probably relative unknowns in 1984 though.

I've watched parts 1 and 2 so far. Been impressed, has a very Wes Craven/Kevin Williamson type feel, slick slasher comedy. Quite graphic death scenes.

Tonight I'm watching Midsommer on a reccomendation
