[QUOTE="dasNdanger, post: 683495, member: 61962"] Big E's 'scary movie' thread (and the comments therein) got me to thinking... What do you enjoy the most - classic horror flicks (Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Vincent Price), or the modern, often gorier, horror fare? I've always preferred the classic horror genre, especially gothic horror, including older (pre-1970) Hammer films and EVERYthing Hitchcock. I can watch them over and over again - like comfort foods they are my 'comfort' films - but cannot bring myself to watch modern horror/thriller pictures at all. So, here let's list some of our favorite scary movies - movies we can watch over and over and still enjoy. Also, share why you may prefer one genre (classic vs modern horror) over another. Some of my favorites are: [B][I]The Tingler[/I][/B] (Vincent Price) [B][I]House of Wax[/I][/B] (Vincent Price) [B][I]The Mummy[/I] [/B](Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee) [B][I]The Hound of the Baskervilles[/I][/B] (just about every version, though I have a special fondness for the Basil Rathbone version. Also, I realize that this isn't a traditional 'horror' story, but in film it [I]is[/I] presented that way). I can just watch those films over and over and over, without ever tiring of them. Anyone else love the classic horror genre? Or do you prefer the modern stuff? das [/QUOTE]
