Halloween is coming up. Favorite horror movies?

Audition was directed by Takashi Miike, who has made both some very messed-up movies (Ichi the Killer) as well as a lot of straight commercial stuff (13 Assassins, Crows Zero, etc.).

But he directed an episode of the Masters of Horror series called "Imprint" that was apparently so disturbing they wouldn't broadcast it.

Which reminds me of that X-Files episode about the family tree with no branches that they only broadcast once.

THAT frightened me.

I'm still partial to the old Hammer Studios stuff that I saw as a kid on the Creature Double Feature. Great atmosphere, often great acting, and just a lot of fun.

I had to look it up, but yes, the only X-Files ep that aired once (on Fox) was titled "Home" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_%28The_X-Files%29
It sounds like a good one and has great reviews on top 10 lists.

I get chills of revulsion just thinking about it.

But, I do respect it for being one of those experiences that are truly unforgettable.

Not really a horror movie exactly, but did anyone see Julie Taymor's Titus?  That movie messed me up so bad.  I felt like I needed PTSD therapy after I saw that, and not in a cool David Lynch kind of way.  More like a "my soul will never be the same" kind of way.
