Shawn of the Dead was pretty funny, but The Nightmare Before Christmas is a favorite.

I was less taken with Corpse Bride.

If you like Army Of Darkness and Shawn of the Dead you should check out "Undead"

He's crazy, everything that happened in the movie was a figment of his imagination. I found it really quite humerous though, the whole movie(I watched it uncut) especially the "flexing in the mirror with the hookers" scene. Gave me a chuckle. I couldn't help but think that Stewie Griffin from family guy was based on Pat Bateman though

Yeah, I kinda figgured that myself but wasn't wholly sure... just a pretty messed up flick... definitely NOT on my top 10/20/50 list anywhere... or on any of my list... it could've been done MUCH better IMO.

Nosferatu-saw the 1922 version on a big screen at a college film festival where the usually raucous crowd was actually brought to silence by the fact that this is a scary as heck movie. You know what, with all the remakes of movies coming out, like the amityville horror, and the fog, some channels are replaying the 70s versions and they hold up pretty well.

Watership Down - those bunnies are scary
All the Claymation Christmas stuff done before Nightmare . . .

Oh you mean the horror genre versus movies that scare me

Noseratu is a definite classic and still as chilling today as it was way back when. My father still has good memories of his dates digging their nails into his arms when they went to go see it. Same with the wonderfully done Phantom Of The Opera with Lon Chaney, my dad said that one of his dates actually fainted when Christine ripped off the mask.

Nosferateu and Shadow of the Vampire pair up nicely!

I'm still a fan of the Blair Witch, honestly...I've spent a lot of time camping and in the woods and I really connect with that type of psychological scare...

 

[Solidman82]

Same here Nick. Still goves me shudders thinking that there could be someone out there watching me at any given time and I wouldn't have a clue. But the thing I didn't like about the BWP is that the actors sometimes act too much. That sounds like a dumb thing to say but the thing that gripped me is that they were supposed to be real people, and sometimes, they just gave away they they were acting.

**** SPOILERS ****

yeah...but they still do a pretty damn good job....it was interesting how it was filmed too...none of the actors knew what the other's "script" was and they'd periodically get to check points in the wodds where they had directions for things to do or how to act...

And the time that Josh disappeared and they heard him screaming he got instructions to sneak out and meet the crew and then a couple days later they had him walk around in the middle of the night screaming...and parts like that just came off as so real...

Also, I still say there is nothing creepier than the night they were in the tent and they hear little children laughing and playing outside their tent...how scary would that be if you camping out and heard that in the middle of the night...I'd crawl back in my sleeping bag, crap my pants, and go back to bed....which is oddly enough pretty much what happened when I woke up with a big bear outside my tent at 3 in the morning...

Heh... someone? How about some-thing? In my (much) younger days I've had experiences with some-thing in the woods (day and night) and my camping has had a couple experiences along the .... unusual. Still one time at about 9700 feet in the mountians I braved the night enough to sleep in a hammock with my sleeping bag... a few feet off the ground... having something big bump into it to set me swinging was enough to go buy a new sleeping bag.

Sometimes... it's fun to be scared... others... you're like... damn where's my gun?

 

[Solidman82]

Yeah that would be liveable if it wasn't for the fact that the tent started getting attacked right after that from all sides. Scary as hell.
