There's 'Teeth', a black-comedy horror.

Grindhouse and Hostel.

That was terrible... really awful. I laughed so much and my boyfriend winced all the way through.

But what about the film?

Good call for The Thing. Literally eye popping stuff. On a very retro note, Dead of Night is good, especially Michael Redgrave and the ventriloquist dummy. Hello Hugo.

Ooh, I was going to say Dead of Night. Great choice - it's a compendium of stories, some are a bit twee, but the best are genuinely spine-tingling.

I also vote for Night of the Demon. Proper spooky, that.

The Haunting, The Wicker Man, Night of the Living Dead and Rosemary's Baby are all recommended too.

More votes for:

The Thing
The Wicker Man
Dog Soldiers
The Omen
An American Werewolf in London
Army of Darkness
Scream
Bride of Frankenstien

And add:

The Others
Ginger Snaps
The Fearless Vampire Killers
Young Frankenstien
Carry On Screaming
The Abominable Dr. Phibes
The Cat and the Canary
The Masque of the Red Death

Yea I was wondering if anyone has seen"The Fearless Vampire Killers" and if it was worthy of a watch?

Not as funny as it thinks it is.

I'd add Society and The Hitcher.

The Cat and the Canary

The Bob Hope one? If so, excellent choice. :D

The best horror film I've seen recently is Eden Lake.

Quote: Matthew Stott @ October 28 2009, 2:41 PM BST

The original Texas Chainsaw Masacre is great.

It was creepy in places but I just remember laughing at the Benny Hill ending where he's chasing her for eeeeever!

I remember Event Horizon being uncomfortably scary as well as Blair Witch. Silence of the Lambs freaked me out as a kid too.

Event Horizon just seemed to be a mish-mash of other, superior horror films (mostly Alien and Hellraiser with a bit of Star Wars and 2001 thrown in).

Good call on Hitcher sooty. Excellent film.

I'll add the best, for me, in the Evil Dead series: Army Of Darkness (The Medieval Dead). Although it's more comical than horror. Anyone seen Sam Raimi's Drag Me To Hell?

Yeah I saw Drag me to hell. I loved it, because it was so tense and silly. Don't expect a serious brain teaser. It's just a good ol' horror film.

The Hitcher.

But is it wrong to fancy the baddie?
