Or your favourite horror film of all time?

My favorite is "City of the Dead", a 1960 black-and-white UK film which is a rather creepy and scary film that moves rather quickly. Christopher Lee is in it, so you know that it's good.

The film is about a fictional town named Whitewood Massachusetts whose residents are all Satan-worshippers who are over 200 years old.

They continue to live because they have made a pact with Satan: Twice each year - on Candlemas Eve (a real holiday) and The Witches' Sabbath - they perform "at the hour of 13" a sacrifice of a young woman to Satan.

In the US, the film was renamed "Horror Hotel". That's the version I grew up with. In the US, the movie is not under copyright, so you can watch it for free here on YouTube.

In "Horror Hotel", two important scenes from "The City of the Dead" were removed including one very early and important explaining the basic pact between Satan and the witches of the town made in 1692. For this reason, I now prefer to watch the original UK version.

I need to correct something I wrote. Not so much scenes were deleted as much as segments of dialog - especially at the very beginning. This is because the US is a religiously uptight society and perhaps more so in 1960. These lines involving making a pact with Satan were deemed to upsetting for the church-going public (and a lot of people went to church in 1960 compared to today).

The Wikipedia article on this film discusses it. I think that dialog is imperative to establish the real background of the story. As a kid, I didn't care or really think about it, but, as an adult, I appreciate the important subtleties like this. Thus, I advocate seeing the original which is above.

Deleted lines
Some dialogue was removed from the American version of the film, including the following lines in the opening sequence which clarify the plot. They are retained in the original British version, which has been shown on Turner Classic Movies:

"I have made my pact with thee, O Lucifer! Hear me, hear me! I will do thy bidding for all eternity. For all eternity shall I practice the ritual of Black Mass. For all eternity shall I sacrifice unto thee. I give thee my soul, take me into thy service."

"O Lucifer, listen to thy servant, grant her this pact for all eternity and I with her, and if we fail thee but once, you may do with our souls what you will."

"Make this city an example of thy vengeance. Curse it, curse it for all eternity! Let me be the instrument of thy curse. Hear me, O Lucifer, hear me!"

So I really don't like horror movies, and I've seen some really awful ones like The Craft, The Road, and Mother!, but I can honestly say I did like The Haunting (from 1999) even though this movie was a total box office bomb. And Predator was pretty good, but not sure that's really a horror?

[PointTaken]

Evil Dead Rise! But that's the best series.

[PointTaken]

The Evil Dead series. Yet there's others. Nightmare on Elm Street.

[HoneyButterCup525]

Thanks for the options :)

[PointTaken]

The one that actually got to me a little is The Grudge. The ring I didn't like. Halloween was good. I thought Child's Play was kinda funny. The Conjuring Universe you should watch. That one is 7 movies so far.

[HoneyButterCup525]

The grudge is one of my favourites and loved child's play, I haven't seen the conjuring but definitely will watch.

[PointTaken]

Oh yeah. I'm trying to watch it timeliness of the movies. Not when they were released. Like The Nun would be the first one to watch.

[HoneyButterCup525]

That one sounds awesome too

[driven159]

The best Horror films I watch are oldies, so it is ones I have already watched but my favorites are the Tremors series.

[dudeinohio]

Best horror movie was "Saw" the rest of the series was all right, but nothing like the first.
