I love disturbia thats probaly the best scary movie this year but old movies ROCK!!

Old movies are the best!

Some of my favorites are really old, but not all of them. And let's face it -- some of the old ones were crappy...

i pick old because horror movies are now mostly teen slashers and they can be pretty monotonous

i think yes it does depend on the film but in the old days they used to have to create suspence through what you don't see, these days you just stick CGI in there to do the "horror" job, a quick fix thats not nearly as scary

Old Ones Because of The Exorcist

Older movies. You can still thoroughly enjoy a good horror movie without slashing guts out and cutting brains open. Anyway it's mostly computer produced thesedays so to me it's just real fake stuff.

Classics ROCK!!!!! :)

It really does depend but for the most part I love old horror movies. There is nothing better than Halloween or Nightmare on Elm Street...

theyre the best

new ones defo! they make you jump alot more and i prefer the ones wiv ghosts there the mostly newer movies!
scariest movie ever: the ring, shrooms, the eye and the orphanage!! o yeh! freddy eat your heart out!

love the Classics

classict for the win

Micheal,Freddy,Jason the real scares and terrors of the day this new stuff hasent scared me once this stuff knows how ta freak ya out gotta like correction gotta LOVE the CLASSICS

I picked old because you cant go wrong with the classics and if you go to google and type in Freaks 1936 its a movie from 1936 and it fell out of copyright you can watch it on the internet same with night of the living dead!!!!!

older ones are way better than today's

My brother and I end up saying this after every new horror movie that we see...."We should just stick with the classics." Honestly, any new horror movies bore me to DEATH! (Other then Dawn of the Dead) New movies depend on gore too much, and gore doesn't bother me. What ever happened to villians with a personality? Or actually trying to frighten you instead of just showing you a bunch of blood.

i agree with frylock243

now their just a bunch of weird stuff popping out of no where because Hollywood thinks that's scary

THE SHINING IS MY FAVORITE OLD FILM AND THAT MOVIE IS SO GOOD JACK NICHOLSON WHO PLAYS THE DAD/KILLER/WRITER DID A GREAT PERFORMANCE AND THAT MOVIE A GREAT OLD FILM

the first halloween was so plain. but the remake rob zombie did explained the story so much better. and it didnt look fake.but the nightmare on elm street could never be remade with a different person to play freddy.he is SO funny!

totally depends on the movie. some are better than the remakes but sometimes remakes are better than originals.

i love the old ones! you have to admit that alot of the so called new movies are based on one's in past and alot are either remakes or just change the name. nowadays i could tell what is going to happen in any movie before it happens because a majority of it has all been done already

i like the new ones more because they are usually more interesting.
you know...nice plots, good actors, super-sexy vampires/werewolves/slayers.....

OLDSHCOOL MOVIES ARE THE BEST

Now this one I had to think about.....
The newer ones have more creative plots (like the Unborn, a demon possessing twins in a family bloodline) and more scenes that can make you jump, scream, cringe, startle you etc.
But the old ones are always the classic ones, and classics are always excellent (to me), also the old ones are where Freddy Krueger, Jason Vorhees, Chucky, Michael, and other famous legendary slashers were first introduced to us.
So at first I wasn't sure. Then I thought about the remakes that were being made and the creativity from the newer horror flicks, so I chose new :)

i like both but where would we be now without the older ones ?

I was just thinking about this the other day.
I hate horror movies these days. A lot of them are just killing and have no good plots! Classic horror like Scream, Carrie and others are the best!

I think that depends on who makes them.

it depends on the movie and who makes them

friday the 13th sucked but the original house of wax was great, orphan beat them all along with halloween and saw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the classics <3

I love the new effects they have.

It really depends on the individual film. I'm a huge fan of older horror films because they allow your imagination to run. A lot of the newer films are using "shock value" to scare you. However with "Paranormal Activity" and "Disturbia" two newer films I think this could bring things back.

yeah old horror movies are the greatest they're way better than today's crap halloween nightmare on elm street friday the 13th child's play

Origenal movies are awsome... but some of the horror movies 2day are good! Like Timber falls was scary!^^

It really does depend on the movie

old: Nightmare on elm street, halloween, friday the 13th, childs play ect.
new: final destination, jeepers creepers, scream, saw ect.

you forgot it

The most terrifying horror arose at least 25 years ago. I mean:
Rosemary's Baby, Night of the Living Dead, Day of the Dead, The Omen, Halloween, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Thing, The Last House Of the Left, Suspiria, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Shining, The Exorcist, Friday the 13th and The Fly. Am I right?

defo old cause the EXORCIST is old so thats why.

Some recent movies are okay, but they have computer graphics to make it scary, which lacks originality & acting talent to me. I love the old movies the best.

The old ones were all about plot line and suspense. The new ones are all about gore and sex.

To me it just depends on the movie, I do like originality, movies that have never been remade. I do prefer the 70's and 80's horror movies as opposed to the remakes because of the CGI and also because all the ones they're coming out with are just remakes of older films.

i like the old and new horror films

New ones are technically the best

I do really like most of the new horror movies, but face it, ya can't beat a classic!

I think the new ones are cooler to look at, but the oldies are way more terrifying!!!!

Yeah, it's kind of make sense.

Old ones are generally better, though that's not an absolute rule of fact.

the new 1s r retarted make no sence n r 2 discriptive n they r all bout sex n boobs n crotches its gross n the goar ewwww some r good only the pg 13 1s the rated r 1s r just everything i said above

Actually, I think it depends on the individual movie but because 99,99% of cases the original version or older similar is better, I pick this.

New horror weights too much on blood and gore. Sadly it's forgotten the power of huiman mind and imagination and the effect of psychological horror. The original Pet Sematary and the original NOES are fine examples of good balance between the two aspects and they both old movies.

Shaun Of the dead roxxxx!!!!!!!!!!

Older horror is great, but there have been some equally great new ones

i love old horror movies because of the sUspense, but i like new ones because of all the goryness

childs play, the excorcist, pet cemetaty, carrie. all great classics :)

Legends

I prefer older horror movies because the newer redo the same, a little bit more Trash (just a little bit ;p)

It depends, cause NOES and Carrie and Halloween are awesome, but there ar alot of good ones today, like the Orphan, Saw, The Uninvited, Dawn of the Dead, though Paranormal Activity and the sequal were terrible. Its just a bunch of stuff moving around, thats not scary

this, i guess i prefer newer ones, but older ones are what started it all & are great too!

Older horror movies left a little more to the imagination. Older movies also built up to the horror/suspense. Movies today seem more gratuitously gory and don't have any build up. There also seems to be a lack of imagination. There are so many remakes of classics- but they are horribly done (ie Nightmare on Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw Massacre). There is not much horror to new horror movies- just "horror"-ible. With the exception to some of course (ie The Ring, Shutter, 3 Extremes). Two of the movies that I named as exceptions- are remakes of foreign horror- I love Japanese horror. However I am thankful for Classic Horror.

usually I'd say the older ones,but I've seen some pretty okay movies,i guess it all depends on which one it is.

How old are we talking...newer ones are alright and some surpass a older movie. But I tend to like the 1980's the best.

I really don't like old movies. There are some exceptions but mostly I always prefer new movies. Besides the effects are horrible in old horror films which to me makes them bad and not scary.

it depends on wich one they do and everything

it depends because i love nightmare on elm street and disturbia~

some of the old movies have mor horror than some of the newer ones.

oldies are always the best! newer ones suck ASS!! I saw the new Nightmare on Elm Street last year and it wasn't as good as the original. Most "scary" movies nowadays are just with dumb teenagers who have predictable sex and the killing scenes are just so fake!

CAN U SUGGEST ME SOME GOOD HORROR FILMS

I don't think so. The old NOES isn't as scary as the new remake.

I generally lean towards the older ones. We think that we are more edgier in this day and age, but it's simply not true! However, I am a fan of some new ones, so it's a toss-up! Generally, as far as remakes go, I'm a bigger fan of the originals.

It really depends on the film. While there are some good new ones, most leave nothing to the imaagination. They have to show every aspect of sex, gore, and special effects which most of the time the story suffers because of it. I will say this, even though most will disagree, Paranormal Activity is one that captures a lot of the atmosphere of old flicks. Sometimes simplier is better. Plus they need to stop with the remakes, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street and the rest were fine just the way their were. They created a dark sense of threat that the remakes can't seem to capture. (I will note Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake did up the threat levels.)

Old horror movies are better but new ones are scarier...

Most of the newer ones are based on the old ones and are pretty much pornos

Every now and then they do release a good scary movie these days. Sadly they are few and far between.

for me, it depends on what the movie is about. i personally, like the more, "paranormal" {if you will} horror movies like "dead silence," "the ring," or anything along those lines. slasher movies are ok too, but i'm more afraid of the unknown ;).

new movies because you can still have the orginal idea but with better effects

ima go with old because see back in the old days, is when horror movies were more classical and traditional. Now these days some movies are too gory.. and have sexuality things in it that we should not see.. and some footage is just inapropriate, its ok to like the movie but.. its so different now these days.. plus the freekin remakes.. for example Freddy.. they did a 2010 remake of him, and it sucks.. when u make something u CANT REMAKE IT PEOPLE. THINGS ARE NOT MEANT TO BE REMADE OR REPLACED.. so i dunno why people do that, but its insane. But anyways I say old days movies are better and more classical.

Original ideas make the old ones better. I can only think of one remake worth a darn and most of the new stuff was done in the 90's , it was called Blair Witch

Old movies will always be the best.

It totally depends, like okay The Shining is like one of the best old films, but new movies like Paranormal Activity 3 make me jump and I like that

old horror movies r more interesting and horrible

newer ones do have better effects & green screen usage and everything else, but i LOVED poltergeist 1-3 and i only saw a bit of the exorcist but the bit i did see was AMAZING. then there's paranormal activity 3&4 (1&2 were terrible) which are really freaky and possession which is not very popular but SCARY.

i have seen some really good new ones and i have seen some really good old ones but i think over all the old ones are best but it just really depends

i like both old and new horror movies

Some new horror movies are pretty good, but I think old horror movies are still better.

Old horror movies aren't that scary, but it's better because they didn't use animations, they used their real shit cx

HEY THEY JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER ALL THE TIME.

I've seen good/bad new ones and good/bad old ones. I think it depends on the plotline, creativity, special effects (SOMETIMES), and the characters/actors.

New and old
