#10 THE HAPPENING

?y=660&x=616&q=75&n=0&g=r28lCGpnzZ2wOfWTDpq4lw--

There's a fine line between being atmospheric and just being boring. This film -- about killer tree pollen -- is filled with long lingering pastoral shots of trees and tall grass punctuated by laughably spectacular mass suicides. In what is supposed to be a gripping suspense sequence, the heroes run away from the wind. Oooh, scary, scary wind. By the time the credits roll, you're more likely to be nodding off instead of contemplating the movie's "deep" ecological meaning.

#9 THE WICKER MAN

?y=660&x=616&q=75&n=0&g=FqsLTcMw8GqUEIi_6lGYLw--

The 1973 original, which was hailed as "the Citizen Kane of British horror," has an ending that still shocks. The only shock to be found in Neil LaBrute's unbelievably bad remake is the realization that well-paid movie profesonals actually thought that dresng up Nic Cage in a bear suit would elicit anything other than laughter.

#8 PULSE

?y=660&x=616&q=75&n=0&g=XO6nDUmd96lkxHSvm4BwVA--

After watching the original Japanese veron of the flick, a genuinely spooky flick about technology and loneliness, you'll never look at your computer in the same way again. This veron, on the other hand, just felt stale. Moody lighting? Check. Freaky muc video-like dream sequences? Check. Overbearing soundtrack? Check. Wildly over-produced special effects? Check. Vacant, gym-sculpted teens stumbling around in the dark? Check. The resulting movie, like most J-Horror remakes, was so dull that you could say it, um, lacked a pulse.

#7 HOUSE OF THE DEAD

?y=660&x=616&q=75&n=0&g=e1xcu6o0RT6_9en3ZZDuRQ--

A band of hapless, nubile teens who venture to a remote island for a rave soon find themselves zombie bait. The characters, however, prove to be so bland and annoying that by the end of the flick, you're rooting for the undead -- at least they have personalities. Directed by German hack extraordinaire Uwe Boll, this movie doesn't have a tenth of the scares as the videogame it was based on, even though footage of the game is spliced into the action for no good reason.

#6 CURSED

?y=660&x=616&q=75&n=0&g=BSpTGDipcfGHEGGv0k4nDw--

Director Wes Craven has helmed horror masterpieces like Nightmare on Elm Street. Screenwriter Kevin Williamson wrote Scream. And star Christine Ricci is great at playing cute and creepy. So why is "Cursed" such a bore? It plays out like werewolves on the CW. The characters are all whiny, spoiled 20-somethings, and after the studio cut down the violence to get a PG-13 rating, there weren't any thrills left over. The only frightening thing about the flick is the bizarre Scott Baio cameo.

#5 THINNER

?y=660&x=616&q=75&n=0&g=04zpE3_qDBk0FhpYdTW5rA--

Stephen King has been responble for some of the most terrifying books of all time. But, he's also be responble for some of the dullest and lliest movies ever. When lists are compiled of people's biggest fears, "dropping a few extra pounds" isn't generally on there. But that's what happens to the overweight lawyer who gets a gypsy curse placed on him until he withers away to nothing. To break the spell, his mobster buddy strong-arms the shaman into transferring the curse to a pie. "The Shining" this ain't.

#4 HALLOWEEN III: THE SEASON OF THE WITCH

?y=660&x=616&q=75&n=0&g=S.OqXyxmmCVQIzlksZhi8w--

The original "Halloween," about a masked killer lumbering after babytters, is pretty much the godfather of slasher flicks. In this installment of the franchise, the filmmakers jettison its original, financially-lucrative formula in favor of face-eating Halloween masks, shamrocks, and one of the most annoying commercial jingles ever written. Not surpringly, the knife-wielding maniac returned in Halloween 4.

#3 JAWS 4: THE REVENGE

?y=660&x=616&q=75&n=0&g=dUWowbyfvSJnre8xzstGMQ--

You'd think that escaping from a shark with a Charles Bronson-esque taste for vengeance would be easy. Just avoid the ocean. But this didn't seem to occur to the Brody family. Instead, they stubbornly remained in the Bahamas where they were terrorized by the shark's biologically-imposble roars. This movie is so dull that even the actors look bored, particularly Michael Caine, who couldn't collect his Oscar because he was stuck filming this dud.

#2 TROLL 2

?y=660&x=616&q=75&n=0&g=ePJyHtJyRncVhaqZaFT2.A--

By pretty much any measure, this film has to be ranked as one of the worst films ever made. Describing the mind-bogglingly idiotic plot might very well induce a migraine, but it does include oozing chlorophyll, militantly vegetarian goblins, and some of the worst line readings in history. The main thing the movie lacks: a ngle troll.

#1 PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE

?y=660&x=616&q=75&n=0&g=E0RnK3W.3IswuUsVPQcNqQ--

To criticize this movie's staggering incompetence is like criticizing a child's drawing for not understanding perspective. Sure, the film features gasoline soaked paper plates pong as UFOs, ghouls terrorizing housewives in cardboard cemeteries, and talk of a bomb that causes sunlight to explode, but director Ed Wood's vion is so laughably juvenile and pure that the "Plan 9" seems strangely wholesome. And it's no more frightening than your average episode of "Mister Roger's Neighborhood."

There are a lot of truly terrible, laughably unscary horror films out there. Runners up for this list included: feardotcom, Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, My Bloody Valentine, The Fog, Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, Manos: The Hands of Fate, Orca, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and Dark Water.

What else should be on this list? You tell us?

well now that im older................... no horror movie scares me anymore so you can add all of them to the list

well now that im older................... no horror movie scares me anymore so you can add all of them to the listcome on, the Zelda scene from Pet Semetary doesn't bother you at all?

Jeepers Creepers...lol it was more fun the scary

oh and Lake Placid

I'm with Bisco on this However if I were to list the Creepyest Moments in Horror Movies that Freaked me out it would Definatly Be the Zelda scene as the Number 1 on my list followed by: Psycho 3 - when you see Norman Actually talk in his Mother's voice...

Carrie - When she is in the closet and it shows the weird scary looking crufix...

Excorst - When she is comming down the stairs like a spider...

Sleepaway Camp - The ending when you see Amanda as a boy for the first time, The look on her face freaked me the hell out...

IT - When the clown is in the drain talking to Georgey and you see him tip his head back revealing those Hidious freaky teeth...

The Amityville Horror - (More on the Awesome de of things, but still freaky the first time viewing) The ending when the walls, Stairs start to bleed and the Muc plays a big roll in it as well...

Other than that I believe I covered the freakyest shit... None of the movies scare me anymore... I can only list the FEW stuff that does...

I am going to say halloween 3 shouldnt be on that list. borderline cult was super shitty.

Man there is so many crap horror films I am having trouble thinking which one I would conder the worst. Give me till next year and I will mull this question over and come up with something.

We should limit this to wort horror film of 08 then you would be talking and I would say the happening because I mean wtf happened!

That movie fucking sucked!

yeah I like everyone's thought so far. I wouldn't say Thinner was scary but it definitely

had a few creepy moments that I would think might push it out of the top 10. That may just be me though....

All the scenes chases scenes in F13th, reaaly creeps me out. That scene on Nightmare on Elm Street (sorry, don't remember wich part) when two little girls ng that muc "1, 2, he's coming after you", or something like that. It's all I can remember now...
