I caught an early showing of The Last Exorcism with a friend today. We settled in with popcorn and snacks, and I prepared myself for the worst. An hour and a half later, I emerged untraumatized. This is, of course, both good and bad, since I'll be able to sleep tonight BUT I never really got the good scare I was hoping for. So then I got to thinking about what makes a great horror movie and all the times I have been seriously shaken by a film.

Without a doubt, my favorite horror movie is The Exorcist. After I saw it for the first time, my roommate and I had to hide the dvd because we were so irrationally freaked out by it. The last recent horror movie that I really liked was The Descent. (I mean, claustrophobia, gooey cave creatures, and murderous women? Love it!)

So tell me MobileRead, what's your favorite horror movie/horror movie moment?
