Favourite! The Burning.
Least favourite! (difficult)
Scary Movie.
....
Dave.

Think ive seen the burning, though all i remember about it is a girl being killed against tree with some shears or something..lol
Ive seen so many I cant remembber that much about manty of them . but then ive been watching hem since i was about 13 lol.
My faves include Braindead!(so sick n funny!),the lost boys, reaniamator,hellraiser,a nightmare on elm street,etc etc .
Least favourite has got to be the exorcist, is a good film,well made etc..but far too scary!Its odd because I first saw it on pirate when I was about 14 ..didn;t worry me in the slightest, laughed at a lot of it. Then in '98 when they were about to re -release it (quite heavily cut)for cinema again ,I went to watch the programe that the bbc aired,"25 years of the exorcist".I didnt make it through the credits!I have watched the film again since (not the complete version like the I saw\ the first time) and agin at he time it doesnt bother me that much,Its after. I think its one of those films which is truly psychologically disturbing and has an effect on you for many years after. Also the subject of poseession is one that I find very frightenig, as I believe it has happened ..and probably still does !

Favorite: Exorcist 3 and the Evil Dead trilogy (Especially Army of Darkness), the Warlock 2, Into the Mouth of Madness, Angelheart(With Mickey Roark and Robert Deniro) The Devil's Advocate, and The Serpant and the Rainbow.
Least fav.: Pet Cemetary (The book was so good), and Exorcist 2(So bad it's comedy).

Some good choices there (though I thought Pet Sematary was quite good!)I still remember watching Angelheart many years ago ,mustve only been about 14 or something .Was quite disturbing for me to still remember it now.

The thing i remember most about Pet Cemetery was when the guy fell out of the bed and hit his head on the nightstand. That sent me flying into an unstoppable fit of laughter. Don`t ask me why.

I most remember the creepy little re-nimated boy biting the old mans throat out..lol
Put me off kids for a while ..lol
Just remembered another one to add to my faves list (ive seen so many theyll come back to me over time)An American Werewolf In London..great film

Yeah that`s a good one.The Paris one wasn`t bad either.

I didnt think much of the paris one..Didnt have the humour etc of the first one.It was the old pub on the moors in the first one tht I had in mind when I thought of this one .Id lov to figure out how to put pics,different font colours etc on this page.

Me too. Not sure it`s possible without a pc.

Fave spooky games of mine are Vampire Hunter D and Resident Evil! I`ve only just completed the vampire one. Loved it once i got the hang of the left hand character.

Ive not played either of those..lol
Not really up on computer games.When me and my brother used to live at home id hve a go at a couple of his,but thats about it..lol
We did do the one sppooky one between us which was quite good, "Phantasmagoria" know it? He also had one called the 11th hour..but it never got completed.

Check out Silent Hill on P/station.
Scare the living daylights out of you! lol.
....
Dave.

Not heard of either of those. Need to get some more spooky games. I usually end up quite edgy after playing them (usually with the lights out.)

I`ve just watched Exorcist 2 on the sci-fi channel. What a pile of rubbish!! Complete let down.

Ive not been so brave about having the lights off for anything spooky since I moved out of my mums .Its wprse when you're in the house alone!..lol
Ive never bothered to watch exorcist 2, 3s not bad though.

Favourite: close, but after careful consideration I'm going to opt for The Wicker Man.
Worst: Too many to say, but any 'post-modern' claptrap in the Scream vein is always guaranteed to annoy. Really *dumb* vampire movies like Lost Boys are a good target for ire as well.

I`ve never seen The Wicker Man but i am curious about it. Fancy elaborating???

Totally disagree about The Lost Boys. It`s a classic!! I suppose it depends what age you were when you first saw it.

If you want elaboration about The Wicker Man, I'd suggest you look at http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/A656408.
Not that I'm biased about the piece ot anything .
As to the Lost Boys, it just didn't do it for me, at all. I hate movies that try and sell to kids by having dumb kids as heroes. It's not the worst vampire movie ever, I'll agree (what's that awful one with Grace Jones in?), but I just *hated* it. It also totally overshadowed a great vampire movie the same year - Near Dark, which is actually scary...

Cheers. I`m off to read that article.

Lost boys wasnt all bad , but youre right about Near Dark being a whole lot better . I watched one last night that wasnt too bad,better than average anyway Jeepers Creepers anyone else seen that yet?

The sily title put me off, but who knows.
We have a saurday in this weekend and it's my turn to choose the video...
