What are your favorite and least scary movies?
Halloween is coming up, and often times different channels will play different scary movies to meet the occasion. Which begs the question, "what are your favorite and least favorite scary movies?"
For me, nothing beats a good zombie movie! I like all of Romero's of the (Living) Dead movies. I also like the 28 Days/Weeks Later movies, though victims of a Rage Virus are not actually zombies in my book. My favorite is probably the 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake. I also love the Walking Dead TV series. Besides zombie movies, my number 1 has to be The Thing (the original and yes I'm going to see the remake). If you haven't seen The Thing with Kurt Russell I HIGHLY reconmend seeing it! It is old school special effects at their best.
My least favorite scary movies include Friday the 13th (all), Nightmare on Elm Street movie (except the original), Halloween (all). I hate them, but unfortunately they're not going anywhere.
Fave - Exorcist and poltergeist. Maybe Ring and Grudge for runners-up. Silent Hill is probably in the bottom of my faves.
Least - Mockumentaries like Blair Witch and Paranormal Activity irritates the sh*t out of me.
John Carpenter's Halloween and the Shining are my favourites, since they're amazing.
My least favourite would be Hostel, Saw or one of those stupid torture porn movies.

the opposite of this for me, i think the mockumentaries are usually scarier than production movies because of the suspense, it plays with your imagination and you end up freaking yourself out more than Freddy or Jason ever could
that being said, my favorite horror movie is [REC]
least favorite- Hostel.
Favorites - Jacobs Ladder and The Thing
@ssejllenrad: Somewhere in the middle here is Silent Hill for me.
Least favorites - The Descent, The Caverns, The Cave, The Ruins (there was like a six month span where four or five movies came out that were all horrible and all sounded the same.)
Indeed Horror movies have been revolving in "genres" for the last decade or so.....first it was the influx of Korean remakes every two months...even extremely retarded ones like "the eye" then it was Saw and Hostel or whatever the hell it was, then for a while it was remakes of classics, now it seems to be the movies like Paranormal Activity with other films like Rec, which was called something else in the US I believe, and then of course an obligatory Zombie movie every yearFavorites - Jacobs Ladder and The Thing

The Korean horror film trend I can forgive a little bit because It seems to have brought a lot of other films from different genres into America.
