What kind of horror movie do you like the most?

Re: What kind of horror movie do you like the most?
I love giant monster movies, but I consider them sci-fi, not horror.
For horror, I like ghost stories, although most of the ghost films I love the most are not horror films, but romances like THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR, PORTRAIT OF JENNIE, and ROUGE. A CHINESE GHOST STORY has horror elements, as do some Japanese ghost films like KWAIDAN and KURONEKO.
However, if I had to pick one group of horror films I prefer over all others, it would be England's Hammer Films of the 1950s-70s, e.g. HORROR OF DRACULA, FRANKENSTEIN MUST BE DESTROYED, and THE DEVIL'S BRIDE.

Re: What kind of horror movie do you like the most?
I watch most types of horror, but I'm a sucker for a couple types:
1. Lovecraftian influenced cosmic horror - The Thing, Dagon, In the Mouth of Madness
2. Isolation settings - deep space like Alien series, Arctic wastelands like The Thing/The Thing/The Thing from Another World, The Shining

Probably supernatural or psychological horror.
I like the classic slashers, sci-fi horror, and giant monsters. I don't really like vampires, zombies, or found-footage horror movies.

Re: What kind of horror movie do you like the most?
I picked Supernatural Horror. I enjoy most types of horror (although I could do without most Vampire flicks) but there’s something about a good haunted house movie (The Changling, The Conjuring, The Orphanage, Session 9, etc.) that really chills me to the core.
I enjoy most of the other horror sub-genres and they’re really fun to watch but none of them affect me on a psychological level like haunted house/ghost stories.

I chose Other because psychological horror wasn't listed. My jam would be films that are heavy on atmosphere and/or mess with your head rather than relying on buckets of blood, stuff like
Don't mind zombie action movies, either. Train to Busan, La Horde, Snyder's Dawn of the Dead, and World War Z are definitely up my alley.
- The Killing Room
- Get Out
- Repulsion
- Black Swan
- [REC]
- Pontypool
- The Sixth Sense
- The Shining
- Us
- The Lighthouse

Re: What kind of horror movie do you like the most?
I'm very much over the supernatural "horror" movies. For the most part, they're nothing but cheap jump scares and all follow the same basic formula.
I have never enjoyed "torture porn" movies like Hostel but love slasher films, both over the top (Jason X) and actually well put together movies (Halloween).
