Scary movies

Dave · 04-06-2006, 12:24 AM

So what are some good, scary date movies? I have a lady friend coming over on Sunday night and promised her I would find something good to watch. I know there was a recent movie I saw that creeped me out a little, which says a lot for horror nuts like us. I can't remember the flick I'm thinking of.

So give me some suggestions. Tell me some flicks you have seen - new or old - but ones that still manage to scare/creep you out in recent years.

I don't want to go for shock scares, meaning tons of gore, reanimated zombies, etc.

How about The Changeling?

How much does she like horror? That would sort of alter what you would go with. Either way, you don't want to put on something that could create an awkward situation (aka a very violent rape or any movie with Hostel nudity levels) or make her think you are a crazed nut too early.

Ryan's listed some good ones, with

The Haunting (1963)
Wait Until Dark

The Skeleton Key and The Others might be good choices too. I know a lot of females who don't usually like horror but really truly love Ginger Snaps, so that might be a good choice too. Maybe. Depends on her really.

Wow, that's an awesome choice. Just watched my Changeling dvd a few weeks ago and it really creeped me out, in broad daylight no less!!

I guess that'd be the perfect date movie.

Per chat on this subject last weekend, we thought that these movies would be bad on most first dates..

L'Enfer
The Hills Have Eyes (Either Version)
Hostel
I Spit on Your Grave
Last House on the Left

Edited to add I Spit on Your Grave.

Don't forget to add I Spit on Your Grave to that list.

The Thing (good for any occasion!

)
The Descent is my GF's favorite horror movie and she still has to hold on to me after repeat viewings.

Way back when, I took a date to see Stir Of Echoes in the theater and that date worked out great.

DrHerbertWest · 04-06-2006, 01:22 AM

In all seriousness, I took my girlfriend to see What Lies Beneath. Creeped her out for months.

04-06-2006, 01:32 AM

i watched I Spit On Your Grave with my girlfriend, and two years later we broke up. coincidence?

i second (or third, or fourth, whatever it is now) The Changeling. I've recommended that to a few couples when i worked at hollywood video, and they always came back satisfied.

Session 9 is pretty creepy, too.

That's a really good choice too. The movie is excellent and pretty creepy, and Kevin Bacon digging out in the yard sans shirt would make any girl smile. Hmm. I need to rewatch that one again soon.

I can think of Shutter and Session 9.
