The Omen (original) scared the bejayus out of me around the time I first watched it as around a 12 year old at a friends house during a sleep over. 
The crucifix turning upside down as a sign of evil present stuck with me after and I would freak myself out if I was at home in a room where there was a crucifix (being from a very Catholic household there were many around the house). 
Out of all horrors, that one definitely gave me a run for my money.

The Ring 1 also freaked me out and would be one that I definitely wouldn't watch at home one me own with the lights off.

Stephen King was not impressed with Stanley Kubrick's film adaption. 

He was complementary about the visual quality of the film but had three big complaints about Kubrick's interpretation. Firstly, the ending of the film is completely different to the ending of the novel. Secondly, Jack Torrance's chronic alcoholism is underplayed. Thirdly, King thought Jack Nicolson was totally wrong for the role of Torrance. 

Before I forget another horror film I love is "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me", a prequel to the TV series. FWWM is a horror that will also break your heart at the same time. You do need to have seen the TV series in full before watching it otherwise it will make no sense. The film is also much, much darker than the TV series.

One of the best spooky films (I'm not interested in gory horror) I've ever seen is "The Haunting" made in 1963. It's based on Shirley Jackson's brilliant short novel "The Haunting of Hill House" which I strongly recommend reading before watching.

I'd also recommend "Don't Look Now".

I thought The Babadook was very good. Let the Right One In is another.

The Nicolas Cage version does have the two great scenes

 i.e The BEES and of course the YOU BITCHES

other than that I agree terrible remake of a classic.

Train to Busan is a brilliant Korean zombie movie, there is a sequel out this year too that I will watch this week.

Read something recently about a Japanese zombie movie that is meant to be brilliant called One Cut Of The Dead - have it downloaded to watch this week.



Massive zombie film fam, but never really enjoyed slashers. 

Love paranormal horror films Clap

Always struck me as a murder mystery, before the ending.

It has a fantastic horror vibe, without ever once having the traditional aspect of a horror movie. It was much like when the Texas Chainsaw Massacre managed to have truly terrifying scenes take place in daylight.
