I cannot handle most "scary" movies. They're just too comical and I can't suspend my disbelief too much.

For something like 28 Days Later, I can believe that a disease changes people into zombie-like dudes without much effort. Same thing for The Walking Dead. For Halloween, it doesn't take much to believe a big quiet dude holds grudges and kills people.

But like... you start venturing into some of the stuff and I just can't buy it.

+1 to Alison for putting Dead Alive on her list. It's my all time favorite movie.

My list:

Dead Alive

Trick R' Treat

The Thing

Poltergeist

Dead Silence

Blood Diner

Friday the 13th (any)

Freaks

any classic universal horror (The Wolfman is my favorite)

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein

Return of the Living Dead

Evil Dead (1, 2 and Army of course)

Drag Me To Hell

Reanimator (how'd I forget this one...)

Halloween (the original has been a favorite since I was a kid)

Halloween II

Zombi (or Zombie II - they liked marketing this one under tons of guises)

Night of The Living Dead (original and 1990 remake)

Dawn of The Dead (original and 2004 remake)

Day of The Dead

Land of The Dead (say what you will, I enjoyed it)

Diary of The Dead (same)

Return of The Living Dead

Return of The Living Dead 3 (so bad, but so good)

Re-Animator

Nightmare City (zombies who rip open lady's shirts and stab them in the chest - if you're inclined to drink, make a game of it, you'll be gone by the end of the film)

The Fog (original - the antagonists are kinda cheesy but the atmosphere of this film is amazing)

The Others (I hate Nicole Kidman, but again, this movie is so thick with atmosphere and has a crazy palatable sense of dread and tension. So good).

Creepshow

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original)

Carnival of Souls (one of my all time favorites)

Tenebre (Dario Argento beats out Lucio Fulci in my opinion as a master of Italian Horror and suspense - this is a perfect example)

Vampyre

Zombie

City of the living dead

Another Fulci fan. Good stuff!
