Forgot to add a couple to this list:
* Repo!
* Sweeney Todd (movie)
* Nightmare Before Christmas (Does Edward Scissorhands count too?)

Out of your movies there, I think only It and Shining The REALLY count as horror... Edward Scissorhands and Nightmare Before Christmas, while having a "dark" aesthetics, are nowhere close to horror.

You probably should look up the classic versions (NOT the remakes) of Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th. They're sort of required watches and there are enough movies to keep you busy for a few weekends I guess, also if you like them/which ones you like can give an idea on what else to recommend.

>>36742
Alright. That's another thing I wanted to have clarified. What counts as horror, and if a zombie movie isn't horror, what is it?

It did make me sad to hear that the remake of Nightmare apparently sucked. I like Jackie Earle Haley.

>Edward Scissorhands and Nightmare Before Christmas, while having a "dark" aesthetics, are nowhere close to horror.
I guess it's the difference between "spooky" and "scary". Edward Scissorhands had Vincent Price, which has to count for something, right?

You should watch Cabin in the Woods. And try to know as little about it as possible going in.

>>36746
Already know nothing except to watch for the Left4Dead cameos.

Speaking of cabins in woods, I watched Evil Dead today. It's pretty damn good.

>>36744
Eh, zombie movies are usually horror, and maybe I was unfair to Shaun of the Dead, since it's a bit of a parody of zombie movies using the cliches... but Zombieland, dunno, guess it's more of an action movie or something? Gets kinda blurry.

By the way, I'd recommend Night of the Living Dead (the remake at least, I didn't watch the original) and the Return of the Living Dead series.

>>36745
Definitely counts for something. But there's nothing really going for too spooky there in my opinion, it's just a sort of fairy tale.
(I love that movie btw)

CRACKS KNUCKLES ALRIGHT SON PREPARE TO GET EDUCATED
one of the first things that needs to be established is that horror is super subjected, as mentioned, what you have listed her is not entirely horror, but more movies with horror elements that slide into other genres.

MANGA
here is a list of the horror mangas i recommend (has not been updated in a while) http://beesmygod.tumblr.com/post/22437383663/beas-horror-manga-recs-megapost (i am sorry for pink)

ANIME
sadly the genre of straight up horror anime has not been well explored and i have nothing from this i can sincerely recommend.

GAMES
system shock 2 - same company that brought you bioshock but before bioshock. system shock 2 is the shock series at its finest and most well utilized. it is very dated, as its an old game, but hands down on the the most important horror games released.
bioshock: game with horror elements but not straight on horror. still a pretty good game. very pretty.
silent hill 1, 2, 3: silent hill 2 is one of my all time favorite games ever released for a multitude of reasons. i seriously can recommend 2 enough and the best part about 2 is that it is independent from the rest of the series. 1 and 3 are sequels to each other and while 1 shows its age, 3 is still a very solid game.
resident evil 4: the highest mark of the resident evil series. 9/10 game really good. took everything that last few games did right and shoved them together.
siren series: for some reason no one pays attention to this series which is bizarre because they are straight up the scariest games i have ever played in my entire life. they focus more on stealth and avoiding being caught by some REALLY SMART AI rather than combat.
amnesia: game in the same vein of the siren series in that your objective is to avoid being caught by monsters. very narrative and hinges on the plot rather than gameplay
fatal frame: take pictures of ghosts to defeat them. way scarier than it sounds.
eternal darkness: game that manages to use the concept of sanity effects to screw with the player and not just the character. one of the most consistently surprising games i have ever played and the sanity gimmick works brilliantly and you will, at least once, be put into a dead panic by one of the sanity effects. good story too.
condemned: surprisingly terrifying for a game i assumed was going to be about cops and robbers. caught me by surprise. very excellent game.

NEXT UP: MOVIES

>>36739
>* It (First time I was genuinely a little unnerved by horror, but not for the reasons I think it was supposed to be scary)
Why were you unnerved by IT?
Why do you think you were supposed to be unnerved by IT?
These might be very important questions.

>>36750
It didn't make me afraid of clowns, balloons, or Tim Curry. It did make me afraid of someone relentlessly chasing me down with the intent to kill, and never stopping until they succeeded, despite never actually having a justifiable reason to do so. I think the idea of a complete stranger who you've never interacted with in any way trying to murder you, not out of malice, but either for kicks or for something petty like appearance, is terrifying.

>>36748
Fair enough. I've heard "Macabre" used. I assumed that was stuff like Addams Family, using horror monsters but not necessarily being scary.

>>36749
>>36751
>>36755
Thanks, Bea and Anon. I've actually seen Re-Animator and Attack The Block, but forgot about them initially. Evil Dead I saw last night (the original's up on Hulu Basic). Bioshock's on my definite list, my only problem being that I have a Mac and I'm sort of skeptical on the App Store. I think the sequel's on Steam with Steamplay though, I gotta check.

>>36751
>children of the corn (old version)
There's a new one?

>>36749
>resident evil 4
I considered suggesting the first 2 games. The first one's got more of the zombie movie feel, and the camera angles work for the scares too.

>>36755
>In the Mouth of Madness
Is it that one with Sam Neill? Sorta Lovecraftian horror, if I recall, not bad at all.

>>36760
there was a 2009 made for tv version that sucked butts

also i seriously cant recommend the first resident evil as horror bc it is just straight up hilarious

>>36759

oh god dont play bioshock 2 its bad

Tucker and Dale vs. Evil. It's kind of like a backwards horror movie, and is fantastic.

>>36751
>pontypool
I caught the first half of this last weekend, waiting for Walking Dead to start, and now I am fucked until I figure out a way to track down a copy.

Doing a horror movie based around the radio station covering it is a great idea in addition to being a frugal one.

I like horror anthologies quite a bit, so I'll recommend some.

Anthologies:
Creepshow - Comic book styled and chock full of goodies as well as some pretty big names.
Trick 'r Treat - Anthology with the framing device of one extremely creepy Halloween night.
Tales from the Hood - At the beginning it doesn't seem like it's going anywhere spectacular, but by the time the first story is over you realize just how smart this movie is.
Tales from the Darkside: The Movie - Some consider this to be Creepshow 3. Recognizable faces and clever writing all around.

Other Movie recs:
Nightmare on Elm Street (original) - It's a classic and pretty much colored what most people have known about horror movies for the last 30 years. This is more of an educational recommendation, but it's definitely not without merit. DO NOT TOUCH THE NEW ONE.
Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors - Considered by most to be the best sequel even if it does devolve into straight up Looney Tunes at a certain point. If you liked the first one, you'll probably like this one.
Dracula (original) - Another classic, this time extremely so. It really is a great movie and Bela Lugosi is extremely creepy. Don't let the campy depictions of vampires fool you.
Salem's Lot (original or new) - They're both mini-series which means they're about three hours each, but there's some good vampirin' in here. Go for the 2004 version if you want a little more seriousness (and quality).
The Host (korean movie) - A well-executed monster movie with a surprising amount of heart and brains.
I Saw the Devil - Another korean flick. I thought this was going to be a simple violent revenge tale, but it takes a sharp turn into horror very early. Min-sik Choi (of Oldboy fame) is terrifying.

Games:
Alan Wake - A send up of horror book tropes as well as a love letter to Twin Peaks. This games is engaging and, sometimes, pretty damn creepy.

>>36783
>Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors - Considered by most to be the best sequel
Wut seriously?

Here I thought it was probably the less liked of the series.

Is there any version of Evil Dead out there that just clips together everything into one story? Even a fan edit?

>>36783
> I like horror anthologies quite a bit

What did you think of v/h/s?

http://www.youtube.com/user/MarbleHornets/videos?view=0

I'm going to leave this here.

Have you seen Evil Dead?
>>No. Never heard of it.
Bruce Campbell? Army of Darkness? Chainsaw for a hand? Groovy? Bad Ash? Klaatu berada nikto? The Necronomicon? Deadites? There's been three films, a reboot, several games, and a ton of comic cameos.
>>Nope. None of it's ringing a bell.
>>Oh, wait, is that the movie with the tree rape?
Sigh. Yes.

>>36812
I liked some of it. The framing story was okayish and the webcam one was kind of ruined by bad effects and makeup. I gave it three stars on Netflix. It had some interesting people working on it and I'll probably still watch the next one. I considered putting it on my list, but it's not really the best out there.

Fair warning: if you watch David Cronenberg's remake of The Fly you will probably spend a good portion of the movie crying. I watched it once about five years ago, and ever since I can't look at a screenshot without getting a sick feeling deep in my gut. It's a great film, but you probably won't want to watch it more than once.

>>37131
> you will probably spend a good portion of the movie crying

Explain. That last bit with the maimed Brundle-Fly silently begging to be put out of his misery was indeed gut wrenching and gives me all sorts of feels, yeah, but the rest?

Oh Re-Animator doing so well till the hour mark then going full boat into silly. I'd like to see one tied closer to the original story though and still using Combs of course.

>>37141
My explanation is that I was very drunk when I posted that. I don't think I actually cried for anything but the end scene, but I kind of wanted to long before it. Not in a "this is sad" way but in more of an "oh my god this is so horrifying and uncomfortable and I don't know how to respond" sort of way.

Just watched Pontypool last night. Very, very good. It stumbles a bit at the end, but I highly recommend it nonetheless.

Just watched two episodes of The Twilight Zone, 'A World of His Own' and 'A World of Difference.' I always assumed this show was just hokey cheeseball fun but these episodes were actually pretty cool. I might have to start watching more of this.

>>37819
Twilight Zone has a metric shitload of great stories. Solid writing doesn't get old.

I'd like to recommed the (IMO of course) underrated 80s revival of the show. It's not on the same level of the original, but it's certainly worth the watch.

Oh, and avoid the 2002 revival, it sucked ass.

Not really a movie, TV show, or music (by itself, at least), but anyone here into Welcome To Night Vale? It's healthy amounts of paranoia fuel, good voice acting, awesome music, and pretty damn funny.

>>38349
I'm listening to it now on the advice of a friend. It's ALL OVER tumblr right now.

It's pretty good. Mostly because it's easy to leave on in the background while I do other stuff. I don't know if I would want to have to sit and listen to ONLY this for the whole runtime, but it's entertaining as background fodder goes. I went into it expecting a War of the Worlds type of thing, but it's really just like you've started hearing the regular, day-to-day community announcements from a universe that's not quite right.

Also, it could practically share a universe with John Dies at the End. Only in a place that's just sort of gotten used to the weirdness.

>>38350
I haven't read/watched John, but I need to. I heard it's very self-aware, and I love that stuff.

I leave it on when I draw. I need to pay a little more attention to it than I would, say, a gaming podcast, and it really inspires me to doodle things.

>>38352
Do you read Cracked? Because it's written by David Wong, who's one of the head guys there. And actually his pen name comes from his character in the book--as does John Cheese, upon whom the titular John is based. So you have some idea what to expect from it in terms of humor based on that. Not that it doesn't have its serious side, too, but it's comedic horror rather than horror with comic elements. If horror's even the right word. It's more Lovecraftian horror than suspense, I guess, albeit way more manic than Lovecraft ever dreamed of being.

I haven't seen the movie, so I can't speak to the quality of the adaptation. I actually listened to it as an audiobook, so the experience wasn't that dissimilar from Night Vale, although I disliked the Christian Slater voice the narrator went with for John.

>>38354
I read only the Top [x] [whatever] lists for awhile, but I stopped because some people had insisted to me that Cracked never did their research, and a lot of the entries weren't true.

>>38354
I haven't read the book, but I watched the movie last week with my friend who's a big fan. It was very enjoyable. I would recommend it to anyone who likes weird horror comedy.

Go see The Conjuring. It's really fucking good.

Go watch the original Fright Night. It's funny as hell and it's got the same special effects team as Ghostbusters.
I now am uncomfortably attracted to Chris Sarandon, i.e. Prince Humperdinck.

>>39087
Love both original Fright Night movies. Since the effects from Ghostbusters are one of my standards which let me take no excuses for shitty effects on blockbusters nowadays... please tell me those guys are still working. Need more effects that don't look like blatant CGI.

Also, apparently the new "Fright Night 2" came out on DVD without much noise, and it's actually another reboot? I'm actually curious for this one, in that it at least doesn't try to retell the exact same movie which didn't need retelling to begin with.

>>39095
I actually liked the Fright Night remake quite a bit, found it as fun to watch as the original.

>>39096
Thank god for David Tennant's leather pants.
