Title: Stephen King lists his favourite scary movies. Post by: Alex on July 14, 2019, 12:28:20 PM Not a huge fan of his books, but apparently this is a list of the movies he considers to be the scariest. Many of the films on his list are surprisingly modern. I was looking down this list and thinking, hmm not what I'd consider scary but everyone has their own opinion. Then I got to one of his picks and just thought "WTF?"
Stephen King's 22 Favorite Horror Movies Are... The Autopsy of Jane Doe Andrι Ψvredal, 2016 The Blair Witch Project Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sαnchez, 1999 The Changeling Peter Medak, 1980 Crimson Peak Guillermo del Toro, 2015 Dawn of the Dead Zack Snyder, 2004 Deep Blue Sea Renny Harlin, 1999 The Descent Neil Marshall, 2005 Duel Steven Spielberg, 1971 Les Diaboliques Henri-Georges Clouzot, 1955 Final Destination James Wong, 2000 Event Horizon Paul W.S. Anderson, 1997 The Hitcher Robert Harmon, 1986 and Dave Meyers, 2007 The Last House on the Left Dennis Iliadis, 2009 The Mist Frank Darabont, 2007 Night of the Demon Jacques Tourneur, 1957 The Ruins Carter Smith, 2008 Sorcerer William Friedkin, 1977 Stepfather Joseph Ruben, 1986 Stir of Echoes David Koepp 1999 The Strangers Bryan Bertino, 2008 Village of the Damned Wolf Rilla, 1960 The Witch Robert Eggers, 2015 Title: Re: Stephen King lists his favourite scary movies.

Well, he thought his TV version of the SHINING was better than Kubrick's, so..... :lookingup: OK, Stephan, you can s**t out books like Stan Lee s**ts out comics, but your taste in horror films is dismal.

I agree. I don't find his books very readable, either. Title: Re: Stephen King lists his favourite scary movies. Post by: Rev. Powell on July 14, 2019, 08:42:40 PM Really NO ...

Title: Re: Stephen King lists his favourite scary movies. Post by: Svengoolie 3 on July 14, 2019, 11:07:15 PM I think i'd like Stephen king personally, but I just can't read his books. I tried a couple.
Title: Re: Stephen King lists his favourite scary movies. Post by: Gabriel Knight on July 15, 2019, 06:31:13 AM I laughed pretty hard at FINAL DESTINATION.
Stephen King is overrated. :twirl: Title: Re: Stephen King lists his favourite scary movies. Post by: indianasmith on July 15, 2019, 09:43:05 AM The first FD film was really good, and built some wonderful suspense - right up to the end. The end ruined it for me!

Post by: 316zombie on July 15, 2019, 04:03:25 PM my brad went to fantastfest last year as mr. monopoly, and an AMAZING amount of people thought HE WAS stephen king. and brad was completely clueless as to who stephen is, his brother had to explain it. i don't see the resemblance myself, lol!

But I wouldn't call it scary. Both the original and the remake are worth multiple viewings, though. Title: Re: Stephen King lists his favourite scary movies. Post by: claws on July 16, 2019, 01:49:19 PM I think King went with stuff he liked that usually gets overlooked. His list seems purposely devoid of the classics.
