"Rocky Horror" wasn't exactly a horror flick...oh, I see, you're being facetious (aren't you?).
And..
Actually, IG, I dislike most horror movies (surprised?); Alien & Aliens being the main exceptions to that. |

| Alien and the following sequels are more sci-fi though than horror and I enjoyed those too. |

"A rose by any other name..." Scifi or horror, they sure scared the bejaysus out of me. Now, Alien 3 & Alien 4, they were just horrible movies. |

Aye Lass, I am in full agreement with you. My favorites of the saga still has to be the first and second ones. The original Alien was like the Exorcist of Sci-Fi, that being it broke new ground in both storyline and SFX. The second one I liked because the behavior of the marines was very belivable (I was in the service when it came out in 1986, and I thought "Hey, those are the guys from my squad... Yeah, the look a little different, but it is the same personality types"), and also the exploration of the concept of 'ant-colony' behavior of the Aliens.
With all respect to Obediah, the other movies in the saga were meant more for the hard-core geek fans (Like me), and therefore most of the normal moviegoers could not see the same value in them.

I picked "The Exorcist" b/c it's the only movie on the list that I've actually seen and liked. I'm not so much a horror fan. I just find horror flicks laughable. Freddie Krueger? Pinhead? The chick from "The Grudge"? Not scary to me.
Two movies that did kind of give me the creeps are "The Haunting of Hill House" (though it was in general a lame flick) and "A Tale of Two Sisters." "Haunting" was creepy to me because of the children's voices and because the spirits were invisible. Kids are always creepy in horror movies, if you ask me, and I just hate it when the monster/ghost in a horror film turns out to be cheesy-looking or not at all scary. I much prefer invisible ghoulies.
"Two Sisters" is a Korean-language film (with subtitles, of course!) that keeps you guessing as to what really happened until the end, which, to quote IMDB, "forces you to reevaluate all that has gone before." Was there a murder or not? Who/what is the ghost? Is there a ghost at all? The movie boasts some of the same type of effects as "The Grudge," so if you liked that movie you may want to check out "Two Sisters." I personally found it to be creepier than any Freddie Krueger or Chainsaw freak movie. But that's just my opinion! 
Oh, I also like the "Alien" saga, but I think that falls more under sci-fi than horror (as I think someone said above).  |
