I'm going to watch "An American Werewolf in London" at the cinema this week. As a kid it was one of my favourite horror films. I love the storyline, the humour, the soundtrack and the glimpses of seedy London back in the 1980s.
What's your favourite horror and why. |

Not really into Horrors nowadays.
But back in the day, Salems Lot scared the living bejesus out of me
The young lad floating in the mist, scratching on his friends bedroom window.
And when the vanpires head pops up in the jail cell....instant brown trousers. |

As a modern horrors I really liked the blackphone which came out this year and smile was good too.
I enjoyed Eden lake because it was something that could realistically happen ,even though the ending is very disturbing.
American werewolf is a great one,
My all time fav is the silence of the lambs though still. |

I love that film too ! It has some great black comedy.
I'll go all cinephile and say the original silent Noferatu as my favourite. |

The Evil Dead is my favourite horror film. I love American Werewolf in London too and the transformation scene still holds up today.
Return of the Living Dead is a great horror comedy. |

My favourite is a toss up between Dawn of the dead 1978 and A Nightmare on Elm Street. I love Italian horror and some of my favourites are Zombi 2, Nightmare City, Tenerbrae and City of the Living dead |

First of all, I love your Elvira!
My favourite is Nightmare on Elm St. Probably because it was one of the first I watched when I was younger and then was shitting myself going to bed afterwards.
And Robert Englund nailed the role, the costume was iconic. Just so sood. |

I love The Evil Dead, I think it was probably the first I watched? I have a soft spot for folk horror - like the original Wicker Man, Midsommar. There's a recent (very much ish) Hammer horror film about a family whose son dies and the woman learns of a way to resurrect him. Quite an enjoyable film and not very heard of. |

If you enjoy folk horror, try the movie ‘Men’.
Unsettling, beautifully filmed and a bit disturbing (tbh I had to google it to understand the ending but it’s still well worth a watch) |

Wake Wood! I really liked that film. Timothy Spall his usual greatness.
I like all sorts of horror flicks but for fondness & rewatch value, I go back to Hammer & 70s anthologies like ‘From beyond the grave’. There’s rarely a flick that wasn’t made better by including Peter Cushing.

I really wanted to see smile at the cinema but there was no showings near me. Even the trailer made me scream out loud, but to be fair I was probably high on far too much pic n mix at the time. |

I hated American werewolf with a passion, it gave me multiple nightmares when younger. My biggest memory of it was the porn cinema though, I had no idea back then that such places existed.
Very disappointing there are none in London now. |

I have never seen it. I've no idea why either. Read the book and watched a lot of Stephen Kong films but just missed out on this one. |

Love Jaws, funny how people don't consider it a horror. I think it is.
Elm St and Hellraiser have two of the most original and iconic "baddies" pinhead is sexy as fuck!!! |

Why thank you.
Freddy was cast so well in that role. The knife glove was amazing. Someone posted today about museum worthy clothing. I think the horror movie world have a few items that would be fun to exhibit, that glove, Jason's and Michael's masks to name a few. |

Funny how we went from porno cinemas advertised on the underground to nothing in a few decades. I blame Mary Whitehouse. |

The Exorcist I found to be the most frightening film to this day because it doesn't rely on jump scares or typical horror film clichés. I found this film provoked a feeling of outright terror that lasts for hours.
An American Werewolf in London I found this to be more of a horror comedy film and also a good watch. Would definitely go and watch again in cinema.
Same with Evil Dead and a few others like The Omen (1976) etc. |

The only one that gave me nightmares when I was a kid was Alfred Hitchcock's The Bird's and the scene was where they walk into the farm upstairs and behind the door sat a man with no eye's.
Since then I've become a major horror fanatic  |

IT (the original) has to be my favourite, but The Shining is a very close second.
Poltergeist (the original) gets an honourable mention, it scared the living daylights out of me when I watched it without my parents knowing when I was about nine
There are so many good horror films, but deep down I prefer books...the places that my imagination takes me to when reading are much more scary than any film. |

Good choice op. Rik Mayall has a part in it. The director John Landis would have given him a bigger role but did not know how popular he was in the uk. I also like Phantasm for it's atmosphere. A few of the hammer ones as well with Cushing and Lee were decent. |

Rob Zombies "31" is pretty good too. "Doomhead" is a badass |

Horrible films, but often gorgeous to look at.
Calvaire is also fab, and Inside - though I can’t imagine revisiting that one too willingly as a parent. |

Poltergeist was only rated as a "15" it scared the crap out of me as a kid. The rotten meat scene and the tree, clown doll. It's the stuff of childhood trauma lol |

I 've been a diver since thirteen so...Jaws and Open Water are truly terrifying for me. Jaws when I was little and Open Water now. Being last in line to climb back aboard a boat in the ocean can be a mind screw for sure. That damned music plays constantly in my head.
I am more terrified now of realistic plotlines. Like Hostel or Saw. Movies like those really get inside my mind. Most disturbing of all to me is that somebody somewhere or even the team of people who came up with the maniacal traps of Saw. Yeah, that person,or people, really is/are out there walking amongst people.

Watched out for the cameos by Rik Mayall, recurring background role as the shifty chess partner of Brian Glover's character at The Slaughtered Lamb. Gets multiple close-ups including spitting out lager in laughter and reappears as a member of the firing squad who kills the first werewolf. |

I love John Carpenter's The Thing, in my humble opinion, it's a near perfect horror movie. Everything from the great practical effects to the great performances are fantastic. Those effects still hold up well today. The sequence with the defibrillator is mind blowing. |

Calvaire is also fab, and Inside - though I can’t imagine revisiting that one too willingly as a parent.
Calvaire, Inside, and Martyrs are all masterpieces!
My favourite horror of all time is The Thing. It's perfect.

did you know the French porno actress
Brigitte Lahaie is in calvaire (the ordeal) |

"I'm going to watch "An American Werewolf in London" at the cinema this week. As a kid it was one of my favourite horror films. I love the storyline, the humour, the soundtrack and the glimpses of seedy London back in the 1980s.
What's your favourite horror and why.
Same.

Lime with music, I can never just have one favourite. Im just a big fan Horror and will watch pretty much everything. I got in to old (and new) Horror comics a few years ago and collected quite a few. |

I won’t say the usual F13 although it is a favourite; I’ll say Inferno by Dario Argento. It’s one of his “more horror/less thriller” kind of films.
The cinematography is amazing, it’s genuinely creepy and it has occult elements. |

Scream (1996) is my all time favourite horror movie. It's a classic. The kills are iconic, it's funny, Sidney is a great protagonist.
And Roger L. Jackson's Ghostface voice makes me melt.  |

I like almost all of his films but, I think, almost all of them are more thrillers with elements of a slasher film, like Tenebrae. Still, I’ll happily watch them late at night curled up on the settee. |

The 4K edition of Tenebrae is an absolute stunner, as it the 4K of Suspiria! |

"Conjuring
Insidious
Evil dead
I watched The Conjouring tonight. Pretty poor effort I thought.a predictable story, and a tame ending.
Madness. That's the best horror film that was made in recent times. "
You must be easily scared! |

Well, if you want to play psycho killer and find yourself in need of a helpless victim, do let me know |

"John Carpenter’s ‘The Thing’ is my personal fave. Plus, Kurt Russel is a dish "
Back on the cinema. 4K right now!!! I’m trying to go and see it. It is a wonderful film, and credit that the special effects still look go today. |

"Exorcist III is the greatest underrated horror film ever.
Memorable performances by George C. Scott and Brad Dourif. The hospital corridor scene gets me every time!"
Yes!! Proper chilling jump out your seat scene |

"Good choice op. Rik Mayall has a part in it. The director John Landis would have given him a bigger role but did not know how popular he was in the uk."
To be fair American Werewolf was filmed over Feb / March 81. Rik would have barely been known then, except to a handful of Comic Strip devotees. Look how young he was in it.
The Fog (original) is still super scary, and has Adrienne Barbeau in it, which is always a plus. Plus John Carpenter's self-composed scores always made his films really creepy (The Fog, Halloween, The Thing, Assault on Precinct 13 etc)
Hereditary is really, really creepy too, and the horror stays with you long after viewing. |

I'm a bit of a Stephen King fan so Salems Lot comes top. I also liked The Shining with Jack Nicholson.
Although not a true horror film I loved The Others.
The one that terrified me as a kid not even old enough to see it was Nighare on Elm Street which I now admit, having watched it again recently, was total crap. |

Saw the thing, Hellraiser and
Suspiria as part of the cult film club. I love watching films at the cinema. Most due to my age I only saw on video. I like that we have the opportunity to watch on the big screen. |

Just watched "An American Werewolf in London" for a £3 ticket and straight after they were showing "The lost boys" also for £3.
Big shout out to the Genesis cinema. They are showing "the thing" and "Nosferatu" in October too. |

Interestingly ,wickipedia has Jaws listed as a thriller ..not a horror film...
I'd have to agree..good film all the same..
One of my favourites is a very old(70's) horror film called Manitou " starring Tony Curtis..native Indian based script.. very hard to find film..bit dated nowadays mind you.. |

Is that the cinema just down the road from the Blind Beggar? I've gone past that loads of times and wondered if if it was any good.
Do they get a big turnout for these shows? Might consider going, but hate it when a cinema is too packed. |

There are so many horror movies that are favourites of mine so if I had to choose, it would have to be Warlock.
It came out in 1989 and is about an evil 17th century warlock that is sent forward through time to the present day to find three pieces of the Devil's Bible which holds the power to destroy all of creation.
Such a good fantasy horror movie and the soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith is amazing. |

Yep, that's the one. I usually go to the Begger afterwards but stayed to watch the lost boys. Screen one is quite big, that's where we were tonight. Usually it's the smaller screen. Sometimes it's bussier than others.

Is that with Julian Sands in it? I had a huge crush on him in my youth |

No, I think that Arrow Video keep them as disc only. I have their 4K editions of:
Bird with the Crystal Plumage
Cat o' Nine Tails
Deep Red
Suspiria
Tenebrae
and Phenomena
with all of them looking superb, especially Suspiria and Tenebrae. Worth shelling out for, if you have a player. |
