Dude! Same here. I saw it in the theater when it came out many years ago, and it freaked me out enough to never want to watch it again! | |||

Hmm. Horror on Netflix Streaming that's not cheesy/goofy... The Sixth Sense, but everyone's seen that. Fenris mentioned The Babadook. Ooh! It Follows! That's decently creepy. One of my favorite haunted house movies, The Legend of Hell House (1973). Train to Busan is one of the better modern horror flicks I've seen, and I thought the zombie genre was all played out these days. A couple of cheap indie horror flicks that are pretty cool are I Am the Pretty Thing that Lives in the House, and We Are Still Here starring my favorite horror actress Barbara Crampton. Not scary but I love the atmosphere of both Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow and Neil Jordan's Byzantium. In the case of Byzantium, it's similar to his Interview with a Vampire except a little more sure-handed in direction, and Gemma Arterton is hot and Saoirse Ronan rocks every role she's in. | |||

Not sure if these are still on Netflix or Prime but check out Pandorum, Insidious, The Thing isn't scary to me but its a damn good movie, Bone Tomahawk (might be a bit too gory and off beat its like a western horror), Event Horizon used to get me but upon a recent rewatch it was better left in my past. 28 days later and weeks if you are into zombie movies. The Mist with Tom Jane is a good one. | |||

| In the yahd, not too fah from the cah  |
The Grudge freaked me out quite a bit, and horror movies usually don't do anything to me. | |||

Watching the Babadook now. Is it bad that I hope the kid dies soon to give me some peace? Good gravy, what an asshole. | |||

Pet Sematary scared the everlovin' shit outta me and produced nightmares. It may just because my family in East TN really does have a pet cemetery. When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth. - George Bernard Shaw | |||

Thank you sir. It used to be my profession - I managed a video store in my youth!  | |||

I checked out some clips of Event Horizon. I did see it but it wasn't memorable enough. I'm going to try Amityville Horror 2: The Possession and if that doesn't work I'm going to just have to realize this genre isn't my thing. | |||

Lots of good suggestions here I would like to add You're Next. "But, as luck would have it, he stood up. He caught that chunk of lead."

I agree with a lot of what everyone has posted here. I just think Netflix's selection of horror movies leaves a lot to be desired. Lots of B or even C level movies (is that a thing? If not, it is now). The thing with horror movies, much like comedies, is you have to find what you like. People like different types of comedy and the same goes for horror. For a lot of horror movies, any time you have someone say this movie or that movie is really scary, you'll have at least one or two people saying it wasn't scary at all. ------------------------------ I'm a right wing, anti-illegal, pro-life, gun owning, straight, white, college educated, politically informed, conservative, Christian male.

It's a good point. I guess I just don't get what's scary about these movies. I do get the humorous ones but anything beyond being scared by a cheap jump scare seems to be beyond me. | |||

Some of it is the setting in which you watch (or im my example - after you watch). I saw the first Hallowween movie at midnight during a Halloween party. Then - I had to walk home a mile or so in the dark at 2 or 2:30am. The whole trip home I was hearing stuff in the woods and thinking I was a goner... Or as a little kid - staying up late in a dark house and watching horror movie(s) and your mind starts playing tricks on you. As an adult, I haven't found any of them all that scary. Disturbing maybe. I found the new IT movie pretty damned disturbing and scary. ------------------ SBrooks | |||

Lots of good choices listed. IMO the original Alien is hard to beat for a real thriller with not so much focus on gore. I really liked The Excorcist and The Conjuring too as far as types you seem to be looking for. If you want to check out something older and classic, watch Forbidden Planet made in 1956. I like a really lot of horror movies but the Saw and Friday the 13th series are not my cup of tea. For the halloween season check out the first Jeepers Creepers. Love that old truck the creature drives around in LOL. I don't think I saw it mentioned but I really like Silent Hill. Lots of interesting stuff going on in that including a wide array of creatures. Based on the game. | |||
