3. The Exorcist (1973)
4. Halloween (1978)

I really can't think of a horror film made after Alien that can technically qualify as stellar horror like the five movies I listed above other than The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
>>17344971
I'd personally replace your Halloween with The Shining and Alien with The Thing,
I'm gonna take a lot of liberty with the definition of horror and say

>>17345806
I liked the rendition a little better. It felt more like what would happen. If it really happened. I'm sure if I was non earlier I could relate more with the older one.

Thanks friends!
I'm a huge purist for SK adaptions, and I was really excited to find the Storm of the Century screenplay...
Gotta say though, I see The Shining on a lot of people's list and I have to wonder whether they read the book.

Ju-On
Session 9
Not trying to sound like a douche, but since I've grown up (21 now) the last time I was scared by a horror movie was The Grudge (original jap version, American sucks ass) when I was 11.
Just wondering if you guys can recommend something that would really make me fear the dark for a couple of days/weeks. IRL my main fears are ghosts or demons in terms of the paranormal. Little girls also creep me the fuck out.
Or even a good thriller would do too.
Thanks for reading if you did, and for recommending if you do.

I thought it was really boring and uneventful, but you obviously have the right to your own opinion.
>>17348454
There's a movie called Shadow People. It makes you think...
>>17348495
Thanks, buddy ol' pal, I'll check it out.

2. Badabook
3. The conjuring
4. Cloverfield
5.the mist
The Nightmare
(which is on Netflix I believe)
can be pretty scary if you suffer from sleep paralysis or if you ever wondered what it would look like.
Under The Skin
Is very abstract, artsy, but has some crazy as shit scenes that fucked me up. If you're not a film buff with patience and understanding, this movie isn't for you.
Beyond The Black Rainbow
Even more abstract and artsy than Under The Skin. This movie can be best described as 'Sci-Fi Retro-Future Horror Mindfuck'. Lots of crazy imagery and some fucked up scenes. Some scenes can get kind of stretched out and boring though so it's definitely an endurance test until the crazy scenes start rolling in.
The Human Mutilation Cover Up
Crazy documentary with a lot of seemingly authentic evidence to back it all up. This one is available on YouTube if you feel like watching it before going to bed. Definitely gave me the creeps for awhile.
The Poughkeepsie Tapes
Pretty old 'found footage' mockumentary about a guy's tapes showing his descent into madness and how he becomes a serial killer. Has some pretty bad acting at times, but I remember watching this with my bestie as 16 year olds and it gives me nostalgia every time.
Alien Abduction: Incident at Lake County
One of the first, more obscure, found footage films. It's basically like Blair Witch Project, but about aliens, obviously and it's older than BWP too. Very well done for its time and I enjoy watching it every time.
I always wondered why people list Jacobs Ladder as a horror movie. I've always thought of it as a thriller.
>>17348725
The argument here is does thriller = horror? Some people would say it's true, while others (like myself) would say otherwise. I mean, if a thriller qualifies as horror, Misery would be in my top 3.

this movie blows, was so disappointed because i heard so much about it I torrented it, kept watching the movie thinking "Ok maybe it gets good now"
never did
>>17343442
Okay, so breaking a couple of rules, here. First off, these aren't my top movies. They're my, "top movies that aren't my top movies." Secondly, I'm listing ten instead of just five. Soooo, you know, just pretend I'm two eccentric people!
========== (1/2)
My Top Ten Horror Films Not Usually On Top Lists. Not necessarily the best horror films, but all have some merit in my opinion and deserve attention.
1. Infection (2004, Japanese): Great psychological horror, although carrying a possible supernatural element, the film keeps you wondering how much of what appears to be taking place is external or internal. Great philosophy and terrifyingly oppressive atmosphere.
2. Dead Ringers (1988): David Cronenberg psychological thriller about mentally unstable, drug abusing, twin gynecologists spiraling downward. One of those movies you never really feel the need to give a second viewing.
3. Dead Birds (2004): This film gets far too little mention. Though a low budget supernatural horror film, as many critics have pointed out it takes everything we love about horror and does it right. Good old west with awful demons film.
4. Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things (1973): Silly and yet weirdly terrifying (to me) as it progresses. Old take on zombies before they became so beloved.
5. Company of Wolves (1984, UK): If only more horror films were about exploring horror itself. There are very few films anything like this in the genre, which makes it that much more worth watching.
>>17350122
========== (2/2)
My Top Ten Horror Films Not Usually On Top Lists. Not necessarily the best horror films, but all have some merit in my opinion and deserve attention.
6. Hellraiser : Deader (2005): A Hellraiser movie that is, weirdly, weakened by being associated with the franchise. Very little of the film has to do with Hellraiser, but is genuinely terrifying and unique.
7. Lair of the White Worm (1988, UK): Loved for the same reason I love BBC productions, just good, wholesome story telling. For a horror movie.
8. Near Dark (1987): Rather like zombies these days, it’s nice to go back to a time when vampires were simply absolutely a bad thing. A bunch of redneck asshole vampires lends uniqueness as well.
9. Ravenous (1999): Great atmosphere, good exploration of the supernatural aspects of the cannibal theme, bizarre ass soundtrack that mysteriously manages to work.
10. The Stone Tape (1972, BBC): This weird little BBC production is a rare, great exploration of what might happen when the supernatural, science and industry in a way that’s almost mundane, while being surprisingly creepy. Legally free on Youtube!

We sure went a while without any faggots in this thread.
>>17350125
to be honest, and to add to the faggotry I guess, I didn't really like it either. The idea was good but they never went anywhere with it. When you're using a hook like that, you need to really flush out all the possibilities and ideas to some degree to make a good story out of it. Beyond its introduction they never really explore what it is or why it acts like it does or anything. Like, even at the end, it's never understood why what happens happens. It just "does." That's not good writing and it made it a lack luster movie.
To add to the faggotry even more, my roommate and I tried watching The Babadook the other night? I can't speak to how good a horror movie it is because we couldn't get through fifteen minutes of that fucking kid screaming MOOOM and crying every three seconds. How could you fuckers make it THROUGH that? It was horrible, HORRIBLE!

Why have you made this thread on /tv/ and /x/? Is this Jackie 4chan gathering info for shekels because it sure seems like it.
>>17350237
Not my thread, Anon.
>>17350348
That seems...counter-intuitive...
>>17350171
How could we make it through that? Because it was just building on the kid's character. It makes you hate him with a passion and, possibly, start to imagine he created the book. I thought The Babadook was amazing, but (as stated in the initial post) horror is opinionated. Hell, I was a bit scared when I went to rewatch a Teletubbies episode for nostalgia.
>>17350358
I should have been more clear. I'm OP, but I didn't post the one on /tv/. If you don't believe me, post the /tv/ thread number and this thread number.
>>17350370
yeah, see, I don't usually want to watch films about people I only hate. His mom was no gem either. So you're just watching two people you'd glare at if you had to see them in a grocery store or something. Now, I get that it's set up but damned, too much.
Part of this is just my own personal tastes, but part of it is again, what I think of as good story telling. Like, I started watching another horror movie that same night, Housebound. At the outset, it's about a criminal, hateful daughter being forced under house arrest with her mom. And they establish that she has a really, really antagonistic attitude towards her mother. Then they establish it again. Then again. Then I said, "if they waste another five minutes repeating this point they've already driven home, I'm stopping this shit," because enough's enough. You have 90 or so odd minutes to tell a story, don't waste your fucking time repeating the same shit you've already made clear.
Fortunately, it's like Housebound heard me, and moved on. Babadook didn't. It just kept reiterating the same shit we already understood, wasting our time. And worse, wasting it listening to a child scream, one of the single most obnoxious sounds on Earth.
I mean, I'm not saying you're wrong, but that's sure as hell how to keep me from watching a movie! (Roommate and friends agreed! In fact, I wasn't the first one to declare that we should move on.)

A bit rare to find fairly... non-faggot-y people on 4chan (for lack of a better term). Anyway, if I could recommend an honorable mention (samefagging from >>17343603), I'd probably have to suggest Dead Silence. It's pretty spoopy. It revolves around one of my favorite plot devices in horror - a nursery rhyme. That's one of the reasons I adore The Babadook, that creepy ass storybook. (That and the face of its "funny disguise" that gave me those nightmares.) Legends, rhymes, storybooks, I love when they're implemented because it gives the viewer something to look forward to and (in most cases) enjoy the spectacular work that was done on it.
>>17345371
i just watched lake mungo and was a bit disappointed to be honest... it has scary parts but the story was kinda boring and i didn't really care for the people there... the acting was abit of sometimes espcially her boyfriend but to be fair i'm not the biggest fan of this type of movie so it might just be me.
>>17350501
Wow, I guess no one here is older than 25. You all need to check out Stir of Echoes, it has pagan shit, kid seeing dead people shit, spoopy skellingtons, etc... Pic related.
