[scarychick]

I thoroughly enjoyed the ending to Poltergeist. Not the part when the Freelings arrive at the motel after escaping Questa Verda, I'm talking about the scenes prior to that, beginning when Diane {JoBeth Williams} and Robbie and Carol Anne were in the house trying to go back to their normal lives, and then all hell breaks loose. That part when Diane falls into the muddy swimming pool and all those skeletons are in there totally freaked me out {I had seen on E! True Hollywood story that those skeletons were actually real! :eek1: } And then the part when Diane ran down the hall to the kids' room, I thought it was awesome how the hallway suddenly seemed a mile long, it just made the anticipation of what she was going to find when she opened the door even greater. When the house eventually just collapsed and vanished into nothingness, I thought it was an eerily awesome end to that segment of the movie. :cool:

[WesReviews]

Definitely, Black Christmas.

[Jamm]

Black Christmas and Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things. I love it when everybody dies, or might possibly.

Pet Cemetart 1/2? Doesn't like 99% of the main chars die in both of them? And you gotta love the death by oranges near the end in PC2. :D

[dvdasia62]

The Sixth Sense
Blair Witch
Audition
Horror Hotline
NOTLD(1968)

Just to name a few.

[Coverdale]

Tombs of the Blind Dead
Tenebre (Ahh! AHh! Ahh!)
Return of the Living Dead
I Spit On Your Grave
X: The Man With the X-Ray Eyes
Halloween 1
The Beyond
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

now that I think about it, a lot of films I like have good endings!

[Hellbilly]

Possession - most bizarre ending ever!
Sleepaway Camp - a classic! :D
The Incubus - cool ending actually.
Lost Highway - Amazing!

[KillSwitch]

Oooooo! Can't forget the over the top bloodiness of the finale of BRAINDEAD!!

"Black Christmas", with the phone ringing, the wind howling, the police officer on the front porch, and the killer's first victim still undiscovered and barely visible through the attic window, to me, is one creepy, yet most satisfying ending. Any bets on a sequel sometime? Anyone care to see one, or should we just leave the original classic alone? :confused:

I'd certainly put myself in the "leave it alone" camp on this one. It's been too long to make an effective sequel to this film and one is certainly not necessary.

As for favorite endings:
Sleepaway Camp (couldn't get that out of my head for days)
The Sixth Sense (saw it coming, though)
The Others (Didn't see this one coming. Major bonus points for that.)
Ringu (and The Ring, but they're really the same ending, so...)
Blair Witch Project

[Wolf Man]

Also, I recently saw Dead And Buried, and that one was pretty cool.

Yes! How I could forget The Others?! :eek1: Great movie and the ending blew me away. When I realized that Nicole Kidman's character and her children were the ones who were the ghosts.. wow, that was brilliant. :glasses:

[PhoneStud]

The Omen also got a clever ending .

Oh man, when she bends down and reveals Anthony Franciosa standing behind her I felt like someone had ripped off my nuts and shoved a huge pound of snow down my throat! One of the all time best scares.

THE SHINING

[Rock]

JUST BEFORE DAWN: Being slowly crushed to death in a vicious bear hug, the resourceful Connie saves herself (and her wounded brother Warren) by shoving her hand down the mountain twin's throat until he slowly chokes to death! Awesome!

THE UNSEEN: With a well-placed shotgun blast, sister Virginia stops her brother Ernest's murderous rampage before he can brain the helpless mud-covered Jennifer with his hatchet in the suspenseful climax.

THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE: ...need I spell it out?

[The Chaostar]

Err.. cool but's let not spoil the endings for everyone!:glasses:

[Rock]

Sorry but, uh, the topic starter didn't say anything in his 1st post about us not describing our favorite endings...

[The Chaostar]

I wasn't reffering only to you Rock - you are right though.
However - HEY GUYS, LET'S KEEP THIS SPOILER-FREE FOR EVERYONE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[KillerCannabis]

A few of the films that had endings I cant get enough of:

- Audition
- Sleepaway Camp
- The Ring/Ringu
- The Thing
- Donnie Darko
- Dagon
- Black X-mas

[aoiookami]

Easily Resident Evil. I also liked Audition, Jeepers Creepes, the Ring (remake), Re-Animator, and ROTLD to name a few

[Gnaghi]

any harry potter movie, including the ones not made.:banana:

[David666]

Bad Moon... loved the clash of German Sheppard and Werewolf. That was just too cool.

Lord of Illusions... can that really be described?

Scream 2... classic. I loved it when Cox walks out and at first you think she's the killer. Classic!

Blair Witch.

Oh yeah, Resident Evil. That was a killer ending, a Millia crotch shot and a zombie wasteland.

[patmcgahern]

The end of Mikey springs to mind!?!
Also such classics as Fright Night,
Pieces,
Dellamorte Dellamore,
The Prowler,
Humanoids From the Deep,
Dead Heat
and most episodes of tales from the crypt, especially the ones where the ending lifts your opinion of the episode (Dead Wait springs to mind)
