Your Top Ten Horror movies of all time

[ob1al]

Does this qualify as an RPF cliche post...? A "Top Ten", I mean?:lol

Anyway, here's mine in no particular order:

1. A Nightmare on Elm Street
2. An American Werewolf in London
3. Halloween
4. Friday 13th Part 3
5. The Wolf man (original Universal Classic)
6. Dracula (original Universal Classic)
7. Frankenstein (original Universal Classic)
8. JAWS
9. The Excorcist
10. Poltergeist

To be honest, I could have made this a 30 (at least) list, so many great one's I haven't included here. But, you know, top ten is traditional interweb fayre.

What's yours?

Here are mine, also in no particular order:

1. In The Mouth Of Madness
2. Session 9
3. Poltergeist
4. Creepshow
5. Dawn of the Dead (Original)
6. Night of the Living Dead (90s Savini Remake)
7. A Nightmare On Elm Street
8. Alien
9. Tremors
10. John Carpenter's The Thing

Frankenstein is one of my absolute favorite books in the world. I have yet to see a well done adaptation of it.

Well, I don't normally list a "Top 10" favorites, because I've got way to many and whatever I choose for my Top 10 would change. So, I'll just put up 10 in no particular order, and heavily stress that they are just 10 that I like and are a part of many.

1. The Descent (Original UK Version)
2. The Hunger
3. Alien
4. The Velvet Vampire
5. John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness
6. Nadja
7. Audition
8. The Evil Dead
9. The Blob (remake, I haven't seen the original with Steve McQueen yet)
10. Videodrome (LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH!)

 

[mbmcfarland]

You haven't seen the original Blob? It's not as scary as the remake, but it's a good movie. You should check it out. You gotta love the theme song by Burt Bacharach. (It starts off slow, but stay with it.)

2. John Carpenter's Halloween I & II
3. Jaws
4. An American Werewolf in London
5. The Bride of Frankenstein (Classic Universal Verison)

There are tons more of course, but these were the first that sprang to mind.

For those who like the Blob, I happen to live one mile away from the movie theater in the original film that the Blob comes through towards the end of the movie.

Santa Sangre
Let the Right One In

Santa Sangre is creepy as hell. I own a copy on DVD. Not many people have heard of it.

And I can't believe I forgot to add Let the Right One In on my list! Absolutely deserves to be in my top 5 of all time.

 

[Mr Fett]

I cannot choose 10, because there has been 12 movies in the Friday the 13th series.
