theoden_of_rohan Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 (edited) Ok, so I know that a lot of great horror films have been left out, but that's 1) because the bloody poll only allows 10 choices, and 2) this is only the first part So, let us all know which of the above classics is your favourite...not necessarily which you think is the scariest...but which you enjoy the most!!! This'll be interesting... Edited April 23, 2004 by theoden_of_rohan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Master Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Out of the 10 listed I'd have to go for Poltergeist, as I watched it when I was about 12 and it scared the pants off me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martine Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 hey, where's scream ? just kiddin. ehm i would choose halloween. only saw the directors cut of the exorsist in the cinema, didn't like it that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonmate1 Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 (edited) I had to go for the Exorcist.. mainly because I class it as a pinacle in the history of horror films.. I rate it's importance alongside that of Frankenstein for the effect it had on the general public.. I remember as a kid that cinemas employed nurses on hand to treat people badly affected by it.. and personally, having seen it as a kid, I couldn't watch it again until well into my adulthood.. It is now.. a bit dated.. as the golden age films are, such as Frankenstein.. For sheer shock (jump out of your seat moment) it sort of ties between the end of Carrie (a classic) or Friday 13th. By the way.. magazine yesterday confirmed that from May 3rd, THE HORROR CHANNEL will commence on Sky TV..

They were talking about the horror channel when I was in the US last year at a Halloween con (guess which one I voted for), I never thought that we would even get it in the UK, let alone so quickly. Thanks for the news. Obi-Wan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
