'The Haunting' (1963) is the only film that's ever made me even slightly unnerved. Maybe I'm dead inside :D

But good 'orror filums for all yous;

Herzog's 'Nosferatu' for pyar claustrophobic dread missing from the still masterly original.

'Dead of Night' an Ealing Studios portmanteau from 1941, ch-ch-check it oot.

'Dracula AD.1972', the penultimate Hammer Dracula film fully of characters saying stuff like "Yeah cats, lets raise the devil, it'll be a wild groovy ride". Genius.

'The Night Train Murders' a Eurotrash rip-off of 'The Last House On The Left' but slightly less unsavoury.

'Beyond The Darkness', a gory as fuck urban cannibal film from Italy with a top-notch Goblin score.

Jeepers Creepers was alright.

Original Japanese Ring is scary as fuck at the end.

when i was a kid nothing, and i mean nothing was more scarier than john carpenter's 'the fog', the original, none of this remake crap.

just the k-n-o-c-k-, k-n-o-c-k,- k-n-o-c-k- on the door put the shits right up me

even now when i think about it, it's stil scary.

I still can't watch Salem's Lot without it putting the shits up me.

Like Kearnsy I was scared shitless off The Fog as well as The Shining.
