Favorite Horror Movies

Post Reply New Topic

With Halloween coming up, I think it would be a good time to bring up favorite horror films. I personally like the ones that don't take themselves seriously. Here are mine:
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Gremlins 1 and 2
Ghostbusters (first one mostly. Second was ok)
Phantom of the Opera
Frankenstein (the Boris Karloff version)
It
Carrie

Sweeney Todd
Sleepy Hollow
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Repo! The Genetic Opera
Willard (2003)
Simon Says
Phantom of the Paradise

I love The Rocky Horror Picture Show!

I am also a Stephen King fan!

Halloween (1978 version)
Psycho
The Pit and the Pendulum

That's about all I can think of at this moment.

The Shining

The Exorcist

John Carpenter's The Thing (possibly the most imaginative special effects I've seen in a horror film)

Hellraiser (the first two movies in the "Pinhead" franchise)

Dawn of the Dead (the original 1978 version, though the 2004 version was pretty good too)

28 Days Later

Zodiac (which succeeds as a horror film, a police drama, and as a 1970s period piece)

Happy Birthday to Me
The Poltergeist
The Exorcist
Halloween (and a couple of sequels)
Silence of the Lambs (not really a horror but it's creepy)
Ginger Snaps
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Night of the Living Dead
Dawn of the Dead, both the original and remake
Scream (1-3)
Hellraiser (1-3)
Quarantine
The Ring/Ringu
Cloverfield
Carrie
American Psycho
Alien/Aliens
The Grudge/Ju On The Grudge (all of them)
28 Days/Weeks Later

And I love the Horrorfest "Films to Die For" movies like Gravedancers, Penny Dreadful, Unrest, Reincarnation, etc, and the kiddie movies like Hocus Pocus
I went overboard with the list, but I guess it's obvious that I love Halloween/October.

Some older ones not mentioned

Rosemary's Baby
Poltergeist
The Lost Boys
Evil Dead Series
Seven
Cape Fear
Prince of Darkness
People Under the Stairs
The Hills Have Eyes

reanimator [uncut version]
motel hell
seconds...
project x [1968] (this flick was clausterphobically atmospheric for me)

i can't remember the name of it, but vincent price was a surgeon cutting people up on the operating room table. i saw it decades ago on cable.

I am a wuss I get scared pretty easilly though there are some I really like.
Alien and sequel
Predator
Shaun of the Dead
Pitch Black
Probably the first Resident Evil, though I have seen it less then the other two

I find most horror films cheesy but I liked Suspiria. It has a good soundtrack and cinematography.

Ringu 1 and 2.
Oldboy
Ju-On

The Fly. The original with Vincent Price and David Heddison.

Hellllp meee Hellllp meee!
