Favortie Silent Horror Film

NOSFERATU!!

No doubt it's "HAXAN" aka "WITCHCRAFT THROUGH THE AGES" 1921. At one time this film was banned in many countries for it's scenes of black masses, orgies ( with some nudity!) and other diabolical practices. It was made in sweden and has one of cinemas best ever Satan's played by Benjamin Christiansen. See this one !

Cool, never heard of that one.I'll check it out

Do see it ! It may be a little hard too find now but if you check E-bay you should be able. This even has scenes of witches kissing satan's ass...literally !!!

Yeah Freaks was pretty scary but my favorite, even though its been mentioned in this thread already, is Nosferatu. The lighting, and just the overall feel of the movie gives you the sensation of being little again and in the middle of a very bad nightmare. There was no CGI or other special effects, so all scary effects had to be achieved through really creepy makeup and plain ambiance. Effective and creepy on every level, this movie will always have a place in my heart.

I really cant think of my fav.. but i think the old school stuff rules!
