Woohoo it’s Friday already, happy last Friday of this quarter everyone!!!

 

For today's end-of-week discussion, I'd like to talk about horror movies.

I love adrenaline rush, chills, and excitement. That is why Horror movies are my favourite genre. These are some of my favourites:

 

Shutter Island (2010) - IMDb

          Shutter Island

 

Smile (2022) - IMDb

                Smile

 

Midsommar (2019) - IMDb

         Midsommar

Get Out (2017) - IMDb 

               Get out

Robin Hardy, Who Set 'The Wicker Man' Cult Alight, Dies at 86 - The New  York Times 

                  The Wicker Man

Hereditary (2018) - IMDb

              Hereditary

 

 

However, the movie which scared me the most was The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, a gory and horrific film inspired by true events.

                                               The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) - IMDb

 

Now it is your turn, tell me what are your favourite horror movies? what was the scariest movie you have ever watched and why?

 

Hope you all have a great weekend and if you don’t have any plans then feel free to watch one of the movies added in this post/comments.

Maybe it's an unpopular opinion, but IT was the scariest for me.

Oh yes, for sure @Becky Brooks - Visor for Jira! I didn't even realize this was a scary movie when I watched it and was quite freaked out!

I and a couple of really close friends are women who love horror and action movies.  It's really hard to scare us.  We get together occasionally for what we call "Girls Night...of Violence".  It's like fight club, if fight club was eating party food, drinking cocktails, and watching action/horror movies.  

The one movie that really got under our skins is "Hereditary".  We usually laugh at horror movies but there is just something so creepy, unsettling and grisly about it that I warn others away from watching it.  Just thinking about is upsetting.

I love scary movies and enjoy being scared.  So many to choose from, but for some reason Paranormal Activity always gets me.

 

I also enjoyed The Wicker Man and Hereditary as mentioned above :) 1bjA7de4O0NhMsaOqwvrecophUs

I saw Paranormal Activity at the cinema. I remember that it was very unsettling. I need to rewatch it this Halloween.

I hate scary movies so I tend not to watch them. I think that most of them have very low production quality so I stay away from them. But, if I had to answer I would say the Exorcist is the scariest movie I have ever seen.

I have not really seen many new movies since 1996 that were not Marvel, Disney or Star Wars. But at 14 years old, this one really freaked me out and I still have some of the scenes seared into the inner recesses of my mind.

I am quite surprised no one had mentioned Conjuring series? Conjuring2 was my favorite. Oh yea, orphan is a good one too!

BEGOTTEN. A horror or experimental film. It had a strange and unpleasant vibe.

As a child, I was fascinated by horror films and was watching the usual suspects (most mentioned already) way before I should.  My Dad's friend owned a video rental store so I could pretty much get anything I wanted and I made good use of that.

Now, as an adult, these films have no effect on me whatsoever. A lot of them seem more like comedy than horror now.

The scariest film I have watched in recent times isn't a horror.  It is:

Don't Look Up (2021) - IMDb

As a satirical film, it's scary because it is too close to reality

For me, "13 Ghosts" was one of the scariest. I remember watching it in the cinema, and I couldn’t even stay until the end because it freaked me out so much. The atmosphere and the eerie ghost designs just got to me. If anyone’s looking to watch some horror movies or explore new titles for free, you can check out sites like onlinetvcast.com. They have a good variety of movies and TV shows to stream, perfect for a spooky night.
