I am looking forward to the new Saw film. Best horror franchise in 20+ years.

Add to the List The Orphanage(2007).

Scary and suspenseful without any gore or sex. I highly recommend.

Cloverfield sucked.
Sorry.

The hand-held “shaky cam” has run its course.

“Re-Animator (1985): This movie is little funny, a little macabre, and a little gory.”

That’s a major understatement.

Cloverfield and The Fog are two of my favorites. I may be putting them on for the Halloween party this year.

1963's The Haunting

Scariest movie I have ever seen.

Not sure how “conservative” it is, but I believe “Poltergeist” may be one of the best family-friendly horror movies of all time.

IMO, it’s great to watch with the kids 10 and up if you don’t mind scaring them just a little bit.

Maybe conservatives, but not CHRISTIAN conservatives. A true born again Christian stays away from evil images.

A few years ago, I would have derided you as “puritanical” and said “what’s wrong with a little fun?”

I’ve prayed and studied for discernment. Now I’m “puritanical”.

Just read “Screwtape Letters”. One of the tools of the tempters was to deride anyone that was discerning of good and evil as “puritanical”.

I won’t even be watching my former favorite Halloween flick “Killer Klowns from Outer Space” this year.

"The Silence of the Lambs"

Interesting side note about this film. During the research for his role, actor Scott Glenn spent a substantial amount of time with John Douglas, founder and at the time, head, of the FBI's Behavioral Sciences Unit (later renamed Investigative Support Unit). Glenn's character was loosely based on Douglas as a pioneer of criminal profiling, and in introducing Glenn to the world of serial criminals, Douglas showed Glenn crime scene photos and other evidence including an audiotape one killer had actually made while he tortured and killed his victim.

Glenn would later admit that prior to the film he considered himself a staunch opponent of capital punishment, but after his time with Douglas, he came to support it.

A true horror movie for Conservatives coming out in November: 2012. Plot is conservatives nightmare where liberals get their dream wish to kill 5/6 of the world’s population.

Hmmmm...

Other than Silence of the Lambs, which I don’t consider to be in the horror genre, I think all the above are crap.
