[Anonymous]

This is the OP. Thanks for the recs - keep them coming!

From the ones suggested so far:

I have seen:
Let me in
Misery
Rosemary's Baby
Carrie
The Ring
Scream
Saw
Halloween
Candyman
The Shining
Cabin in the Woods (Sorry, but I really did not like this movie!)

Haven't seen but will check out
Twilight Zone
Dawn of the Dead
Let the Right One In
Insidious
It
Salem's Lot
Don't be afraid of the dark
Mama
The Others

And I may re-watch some I have already seen.

Today I watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Yeah, but it's Swedish. The American versions are usually much better, including in this instance.

Not the PP. Actually, I enjoyed the Swedish version, "Let the Right One In," more. Mostly because of the great cinematography. The Swedish location made the movie feel so cold and stark. I also think that the vampire love story, while scary, was more bittersweet because of the two actor's screen chemistry.

The Blair witch project

Stephen kings " the mist" and "the shining"

I was seriously laughing when I saw Mama at the theater. Total waste of time and not worth it.


If only The Conjuring was available...saw it twice and STILL screamed several times second time around lol. It was seriously good.

Yes! The atmosphere of the original is amazing. It definitely made me feel cold. And the kids who play the leads are just fantastic. It definitely beats the American remake.

Open Water
When a Stranger Calls
Cape Fear
Fatal Attraction

I cannot remember the name, but it was a terrifyingly true story about a young couple who just got engaged, go to a rural cabin, and are stalked/terrorized by 3 people. The scariest movie I have ever seen.

I wouldn't recommend that to someone who wants a true horror flick. it's pretty bad.

Funny Games, the one with Naomi Watts, is a similar psychological thriller. You'll need a tranquilizer after watching those two movies!
