Horror Movies Discussion

If gore is included in the horror genre, then that is not my cup of tea. I don't like seeing movies like Hostel series, Texas Chainsaw massacre, Friday the 13th, Resident Evil series, final destination series, etc. I put these types of movies as sick and retarded. Horror movies I have specifically liked:

-The Grudge series (both the Japanese and the remakes)
-The Ring
-What lies beneath and it's hindi remake Raaz.
-Shutter (both the original Thai film and it's American remake)
-1920 (bollywood)
-Vastu Shastra (I genuinely freaked out the first time I saw it)
-Bram Stoker's Dracula starring the young Keanu Reeves and Wynona Ryder
-Monihara (part of the bengali film 'Teen Kanya' directed by Satyajit Ray, which is a compilation of 3 films based on 3 short stories by Rabindranath Tagore)
-The Thing
-Alien
-Paranormal Activity and Paranormal Activity 2
-Anaconda (I dont know whether to classify this as horror or thriller). Not the sequels though.
-The Mummy (same reason as above). Not the sequels, again. May be it's my imagination and fascination with the Egyptian history and the mummies and the pyramids. I still see it sometimes when it is telecast on HBO/Star Movies. Even I took the The Mummy ride specifically when I went to visit Universal Studios at Los Angeles.
-Ginger snaps
-Silver Bullet

Will post more when I remember.

Horror means something that scares you or fills you with dread. Gore can be scary in its own way, so IMHO, its somewhere high up on the scare pyramid.

any movie that scares the sh*t out of you is considered as horror . :p

BTw , I saw 1920 Evil Returns today ,(This was the first time I ever went to movie theater).
DIdn't find the storyline scary enough , unlike 1920 original. Also the acting was another drawback. Acting was much better in 1920 original , and thats what made it scary.
However , the effects in movie and graphics were good.

"The Woman In Black " : Outstanding Horror Movie. A must watch. You will be scared for sure , watch it alone at night.

These 2 are my favourites:
Dead Silence - Pure horror. No gore. Surprisingly the script was written by the same guy who wrote Saw:p
A Cabin in the Woods - A horror movie with a very novel concept.

I recently watched The Strangers. It was alright. I'd give it a 7 in scariness. It's the one where the people with masks on haunt this couple. I'm pretty sure it was inspired by the Manson killings.

I'm hoping to see The Collector in a few days.
