A Clockwork Orange is not a horror movie.

Oh. My. God.
They have one of the Cube movies!!! That is my all time favorite horror series. Shame that the first one ("Cube") was the best.
Too bad I already have the whole series on DVD.
I guess I'll settle for Freddy Vs. Jason tonight.

If you have the means to do so, I would recommend getting Return to House on Haunted Hill on HD-DVD (or Blu-ray) instead. The choose-your-own-adventure mode is... highly amusing.
And honestly, I don't think the movie is really worth watching without it.

Wow the majority of those movies are crap, I'd recommend:
(original) Dawn of the Dead - It's also fun to see all the blatant rip offs Dead Rising made of this movie.
Day of the Dead - Incredibly gory, just the way a zombie movies supposed to be!
The Thing - One of John Carpenter's best
The Evil Dead series - A little sillier than most horror movies but a great time none the less.
Ichi the Killer - The guy who made this totally f*cked up japanese movie inspired Eli Roth to make Hostel, so it's definetly worth a viewing for horror/gore fans.
Anyone else have suggestions?

The only thing horror filled is the list of crappy movies. Blair Witch is the best one on there... which is very sad.

I recommend Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror. You find find better acting, writing, or production values.

DO NOT RENT CREEPSHOW 3!!!! I watched it cuz i liked the first 2 but this is the most horrendous crap i've watched in years. The preview may fool you into thinking that its just a corny horror flick but its not corny, its just WRONG, very very wrong!

blatant ripoffs? nono, *tributes*
that's what made dead rising so cool - it felt like you were actually in the dawn of the dead movie.
as for creepshow 3, i haven't seen it but it's hard to imagine it's any worse than creepshow 2. and the first one is only mediocre at best.

oh, and the "remake" of dawn of the dead is hardly a remake at all. other than the fact that it takes place in a mall, the two movies have nothing at all in common. still, i like both of the movies, although for completely different reasons.
honestly, dead rising has more in common with the original than the remake does.

Ils(Them)
Creep
Dead Birds
Sheitan
Session 9
Audition
Infection

Needs more Patricia Arquette.
Who else thinks people putting up lists of their favorite horror movies here is lame?
