ST Movie Poll: What is your favorite scary movie? One that you wouldn't mind watching again?

Posted by con_carne Oct 11 '13, 10:35

A couple years ago when I binged on horror movies, Evil Dead 2 really stayed with me (great interview posted here yesterday about it).

Responses:

Cabin in the Woods. I'm not much into re-watching horror movies but this one I've seen a few times. -- nm - CovingtonCat Oct 11, 11:38
