Given that today is Halloween, I figured I'd get the ball rolling on horror movies. So... which do you like best?

Note: This is a General Sci-Fi Forum, so those movies with no sci-fi or fantasy elements need not be discussed.

Hard to find a horror movie without any of those elements. Silence of the Lambs, perhaps.

Event Horizon is the only Horror/Science Fiction movie I've ever seen, and I didn't like it that much. Then again, I don't like Horror movies in general.

Alien. Alien was a very gothic-feeling horror movie in an undeniably science-fiction setting.

It was also unusual in that it's sequel was actually a slightly different genre: Action/Adventure.

I thought Event Horizon was quite fun, if only for the nice sets and the smug feeling I got by predicting the next few plot twists before they happened.

Horror/Sci-Fi? Well, a few years ago, I was watching this hideously low-budget film (I'm at a loss for the name) where a lawyer or something had been run over by a car while trying to save his daughter's dog, and some scientist-guy took his body and converted into a master killing robot, who shockingly (Gasp!

), turned on his creator and had to go and kill either his daughter or her dog. I couldn't figure out which. It was scary as hell, I'll tell ya. Although, I think they were going for a comedy.

Seriously though, it would have to be Alien. Pretty darn scary, especially when I saw it at eight years old at my best friends house. I couldn't sleep, so we stayed up and played 'Super Mario Bros.' on our Nintendo Entertainment System , because that wasn't scary at all.

I'll give that one a miss, Magnychops.

"Candyman." Top film, very surreal, great music, Tony Todd. Also VERY scary. I saw it in the middle of the night at Uni, then went to bed. Couldn't sleep. Then someone knocked on the door. Leapt through my skin. It was all my friends who'd been out to a club (I'd gone, then left because I wasn't enjoying it) to let me know that one of them had been beaten up.
