I am going through another horror "Craze" and was wondering what your top 5 Horror Films are.
Anything from Scream to Halloween
My top 5 are;
5. A nightmare on elm street (1.)
4. Halloween (1)
3. REC
2. Scream 4
1. PARAMORAL ACTIVITY
Whats yours?????????
In no particular order...
ALIEN
The Fly (1986)
The Thing (1982)
Near Dark
An American Werewolf in London
Kevin
Frankenstein (1931)
White Zombie (1932)
The Old Dark House (1932)
The Wolf Man (1941)
Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)
Top 5 (in no particular order)
Alien
Near Dark (good call Sgt! although it does seem a little dated these days it is one of the best vampire movies out there)
Jaws
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (love 'em both but I'll go with 1978 here)
The Thing (1982) - just watched it again. Still great.
These usually round out my top 5.
1. The Exorcist (one of the finest and most effective horror films I can think of, even if not my personal favorite).
2. Let's Scare Jessica to Death (I love so much horror cinima from the 1970s, and this move scared me badly as a kid. It still I think works on different levels, and the entire vampire genre is sort of boring to me compared to other monsters).
3. Freaks. (Browning as director. Amazing film).
4. Eraserhead.
5. House on Haunted Hill (the remake by Lionsgate. I know it is not the finest example, but it is a total guilty pleasure, and I love the performance by Geoffrey Rush. The insane asylum set is so cool, too).
6. Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, and I almost hate to admit, Diary of the Dead (who doesnt love George Romero, though his last few have been pretty aweful. He is the master of a genre he pretty much invented. Some of the remakes have been pretty bad, but most have some fun stuff in them)
7. Finally, the AMC series The Walking Dead. I just can't say enough about this program, and just saw the trailer for season 3. I can't wait!
So hard to choose, as 2 of my favs could be classified as Sci-fi
BUT. my list would be:
Black Sunday 1960
The Thing 1982
Alien 1979
Curse of the Demon 1957
Son of Frankenstein 1939
The Devil Rides Out 1968
Curse of the Werewolf 1961
Nosferatu 1922
Thanks! Easily my favourite vampire flick.letmebestormy said:
They aren't all "pretty", don't have super-duper strength/speed, aren't flashy dressers... And they don't sparkle in sunlight; they burst into frickin flames!
What they "are" is a group of vicious murderers who will slash your throat with a smile, and are having fun with being immortal. Truly scary bunch.
It's funny... my wife forced me to watch Twilight, so I had her watch Near Dark.
She hated it.
Kevin
The Fly
Christine
Tokyo Gore Police
Hellraiser 2
Wes Craven's New Nightmare
Yeah, Jesse Hooker isn't exactly a sex symbol.SSgt Burton said:

I'll just bark a few out, I could certainly add more or rethink it, but just to get 'em out there.
Evil Dead II
Return of the Living Dead
Reanimator
From Beyond
An American Werewolf in London
Jaws
An American Werewolf In London
The Evil Dead
Bride of Frankenstein
Nosferatu
1. Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. The original ABC Movie of the Week from 1973 still scares me to this day, and I love watching horror movies.
2. The Grudge. Don't know if it's just the creepy actors or the direction, but it's scary!
3. Night of the Living Dead. Saw this at the drive-in when it first came out. It was the second feature after the lame The Green Slime and really freaked me out. Pretty tame now, but in 1968, for an eight year old... good times.
4. The Last Man on Earth. Something about the scene where Vincent Price's wife comes to the door and tries to get in always scared me. Reminds me of Years Gone By from The Walking Dead where Morgan's wife tries to open the door.
5. The Creature From The Black Lagoon. Never found it scary, but the gillman is still my favorite horror character.
I was going to put Black Sunday on my list, but I've never seen the whole movie.Demoriel said:
I was watching it on Chiller Theater in Pittsburgh back in the 60s or 70s and never made it through the whole film. What I saw was pretty scary as I remember.
In no particular order:
The Thing
Evil Dead II
The Lost Boys
The Fly
Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors
Also, Cabin in the Woods. Seriously one of the best horror films I've seen in many, many years. It's definitely a film that anyone who's a fan of horror should see. It's finally releasing on DVD/Blu-ray this September, I can't wait!
The Thing
Martyrs
[REC]
A Tale of Two Sisters
The Orphange
Ah, I had forgotten about Martyrs! Such a good one, very original, very graphic!crabra comander said:
Martyrs
Word of advice to anyone who hasn't already seen Martyrs and plans to, watch it with the original subtitles, NOT the English dub. The voiceovers are awful, some of the dialogue was changed, and doesn't make much sense at times.
