HOVER-TEXT: What did the naked ghost say to the zombie in the haunted house? Man, you scared the sheet outta me.
YOU’RE WELCOME!
Why brian? …Just why?
i haven’t a favorite horror movie (unless evil dead counts),
but i saw right through that naked ghost joke…
*duck*
No better strip to be posted on Halloween.
NO, IT WAS POSTED AT 11:24
UNACCEPTAAAAAAABBBBLLLE
Just…not the dungeon, okay?
Sorry this is late, but a few episodes back– How does Charlie know that Amy is blond?
Maybe he asked someone, maybe someone mentioned it in passing, etc etc. There are a bunch of ways he could know her hair color without actually *seeing* it.
Also I think this was asked and answered in the comments of that exact comic.
Lunacy(2005) Directed by Jan Svankmajer
fav horror movie has to be: The Thing (original of course)
By original, do you mean The Thing from Another World or John Carpenter’s The Thing? Because John Carpenter’s film is technically a remake of the former.
If you mean the latter, I will have to agree with you. Carpenter’s The Thing is not only my favorite horror movie, its my second favorite overall movie.
i mean John’s version didnt know there was another before that
I like that Carpenter’s version was actually based on the short story that the original movie was supposedly based on… (And how can someone refer to a remake as “the original” without even knowing that it was a remake? Did I miss a remake of the remake?)
The Woman In Black. Scared the piss out of me.
Ditto.
Cabin in the Woods, hands down.
I 100% agree. Cabin in the Woods.
Cabin in the Woods was awesome, but a huge disappointment. Now there are better than like fifty stories that could have been but we’ll probably never hear.
+1 for Event Horizon. I refuse to watch it because it creeps me out so bad.
I loved Cabin in the Woods, but I think of it more as a comedy than a scary movie…
Does Toy Story of Terror count? How about Young Frankenstein? (Actually, I consider the original Frankenstein more tragedy than horror.) I’m not really big on horror movies, although, yeah, Carpenter’s The Thing is great.
Also, I can’t be the only one who had a very specific sound in their head for the murder door.
I think this is allowable as there are a few films, when I was a kid in the early 80s the bit in the Incredible Hulk tv series where Banner turns into Hulk used to freak me the fuck out, to the point where I would run screaming from the room!
Evil Dead 2.
Pandorum I think, I tend to forget things I haven’t rewatched in the last 6 months
The Nightmare Before Christmas
It’s more of a thriller than a straight-up horror movie, but regardless I’d have to say my favorite is The Silence of the Lambs.
Favorite Horror Movie:
Show Girls, scariest movie EVER… j/k
Event Horizon because it’s the ultimate mind f*ck
I really like the classics, so I have to go with Dracula, with Bella Lugosi.
If it has the words “After Dark” anywhere on the box, I’m about 80 percent sure it will be good.
Best of the lot? “Perkins’ 14,” “Lake Mungo,” “Gravedancers,” “Wicked Little Things,” and “Penny Dreadful.”
“Showgirls”…
Has no one else noticed that Sam and Charlie haven’t even knocked. Yet, the door is opening?
Cabin in the Woods, no contest. Close followers are Tucker & Dale vs Evil, Shaun of the Dead and Goal of the Dead. I tend to prefer horror comedy.
Black Sheep deserves a mention for being a New Zealand horror comedy about zombie sheep, and for the following bit of dialogue:
Tucker: What about the sheep?
Angus Oldfield: Fuck the sheep!
Tucker: No time for that bro. Go go go
I think I am in love, you mentioned some of my favorite movies, especially Black Sheep. (I used to rotate posters for the movie as the wallpaper on my work computer!)
I’ve neber actually watched very many horror movies, I usually let my friends pick them and then I fall asleep part way through, but I always wake up at the big reveal and just about piss myself.
The only movie that outright scared me [as a kid] was ‘The Blob’, with a mild fright from the original ‘Night of the Living Dead’. Any other monster or scary movie nemesis had some sort of angle that I could identify with, even sympathize with. Those two however? Nothing.
For when I was older? ‘Alien’ made me jump and it was a wonderful atmospheric film. ’28 Day Later’ did a good job of coming up with reasonably topical [viral] zombies and the beginning was wonderfully spooky.
1. The Shining. I was the same age as the kid in the movie when it came out.
2. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original) So impressive when you consider its shoestring budget.
3. The Blair Witch Project. Most effective use of the internet to help suspend disbelief.
I’m a big fan of George Romero, Dario Argento . . . basically that whole crew The Sprites list in “George Romero” . . . but right now I have a soft spot for DETENTION OF THE DEAD! Which, coincidentally, has “George Romero” playing over the closing credits.
For outright horror, I used to say CORRIDORS OF BLOOD couldn’t be beat, but now I have to say KARLA puts it to shame. It’s absolutely horrifying!
The Notebook
In all seriousness I like an anime called Kakurenbo: Hide and Seek. I highly recommend it if you can find it.
Ender’s Game. It was the single most horrifying thing I have ever seen.
Event Horizon. I play warhammer 40k and fantasy and event horizon just happens to hit every mark. You see I don’t think it was intentional and gw legal would shut anyone up if out was admitted but, event horizon perfectly depicts what would happen if 21st or 22nd century humans came into contact with the warp.
Also +1 for “who goes there! ” the story the movie john carpenter’s the thing was a remake of.
I just pop in “Predator” and relax.
I’m calling dibs on “Murder Door” as a name for something. Not sure what, but it’s too off-the-wall to not use.
May I suggest a rock band? (Actually, given the subject dominating these comments, it would make a good name for a horror movie.)
Either one would work. I mean, “Death Bed: the Bed that Eats” is a movie, so why not “Murder Door: the Door that Kills”? It practically writes itself!
Pretty sure everyone is going to disagree with me, but Mars Attacks. Yeah, I know it’s supposed to be a comedy, but when you’re six the first time you see it… Slag that movie. Slag it and kill it with fire.
Oh right, favorite horror not nightmare fuel. Uh Pontypool, just saw it last night, on Netflix, I really enjoyed it.
Oooh, Pontypool, I haven’t seen that movie in years! Awesome concept movie, I loved it so much! “Kill is Kiss!”
Horror movie? Does the Twilight Saga count mainly because it’s like an Ouija board I set it on fire, threw it in the dumpster, had a Catholic priest, a Jewish priest, and a Christian pastor all attempt to exorcise it, even tore apart its composite molecules, but it just keeps coming back.
