6. Friday the 13th- Final Chapter
7. A Nightmare on Elm Street
8. Evil Dead 2
9. Texas Chainsaw Massacre
10. The Last House on the Left

I hope number 9 is the original also. If its not, I have no respect for your opinion anymore.

I would 2 and 3. Other than that, good list.

maybe it's cuz i was young, but i think Candyman should be up there. I dont have any other objections with ur list :-)

My favorite Horror movie of all time would be Texas Chainsaw Massacre No.1 (the original one). Tucker has seen that movie probably over 30 times. TNT was always being told at the video store that he has already rented that one out many times-I think they might have thought that I must have been a psycho or something. Later brother brologs.

I watched the new Exorcist tonite, I didnt pay much attention though, I was drinkin....


PS. Dont post while drinking....

My favorite catagory!

5- Phantasam
6- The Grudge
7- Needful Things
8- Poltergiest

5-Bram Stoker's Dracula


Wow! I thought i was the only one! But it doesnt make my list.

Instead of just repeating films that other people has listed, here are a few i like, that havent benn mentioned.

Blair Witch 1 - u either luv it or hate it, scared the crap outa me

The Thing

Frankenstien - 1931 Boris Karlof

Driller Killer

Martin - vampire film

The Wicker Man - graet film, everyone should see it

Must have forgotten some here, and is my 4 really a horror? Oh well, let's rock:


1. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (original, natch)
2. The Bride of Frankenstein
3. Dawn of the Dead
4. Eraserhead
5. 28 Days Later

no particular order

Halloween (all time favorite)
Phantasm 1 and 2
Dawn of the dead (original)
Nightmare on Elm Street
Psycho
Frankenstein (Boris Karloff)
Excorcist
Jaws

I forgot Dead of Night, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (March version, obviously) and The Birds

I have seen many of the films listed here. But the original Halloween was the one that most scared the wits out of me when I first saw it! But I noticed that these kind of films are good for one viewing only. If you watch these movies again, the "scare" or "horror" element is gone and they become dry or boring, sometimes even funny. Unlike the classics or action films, you can watch them over and over again and the "thrill" factor is still there. Just my personal experience of course. :cool:

They don't have the same effect, but a lot of the slasher films are rewatchable, especially the bad ones that you're watching to MST3K...

But yeah, the ones with the plot twists, the creepy ones, etc. - if you remember what happens, it's ruined.

But I can make it a tradition to watch the original Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street, but the Saws or The Sixth Sense are really only good for one viewing

Mine, in no particular order....

Hellraiser
Nosferatu
Halloween
The Exorcist
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Last House on the Left
Reanimator
Audition
Phantasm
The Thing

Honorable mentions : The Shining, Poltergeist, the Devil's Rejects, Psycho, The Omen. So many other good horror flicks out there.

So glad to see someone else who loved that film (or saw it for that matter). The scene with Orlock rising from the casket, or his shadow stalking up the steps are still some of the most horrific scenes in Cinema today. Graf Orlock was a much better vampire than Dracula.

(I actually have a portrait of Orlock's face tattooed on the inside of my right bicep)

Gotta laugh at the guy who put Jaws:The Revenge in his list. Obviously not a serious list. Jaws:The Revenge was the movie that killed the Jaws franchise dead. Nobody thought it could get worse after Jaws 3D, but it did.

Number One top scary movie Kazaam!

sooooooo you **** yerselves...

does anybody like the eye(japanese version), pet cemetary 2 ,or blair witch project, those were very good

i was thoroughly disgusted at Blair Witch. dunno where the hype for that one came from. the boat left and i wasn't on it.

sooooooo you **** yerselves...

pissed ourselves... :banana:

Hellbound Hellraiser 1
Truth Or Dare- The movie is about a guy who comes home and finds his wife ****ing another guy. He flips out and goes Psycho. He plays truth or dare with starngers and usually ends up slicing himself or something like that.
Slaughterhouse
Chucky 1- Classic

does anybody like the eye(japanese version), pet cemetary 2 ,or blair witch project, those were very good

there's a japanese horror movie where this bird goes to the hospital to have an abortion and when she gets out she has a connection to the dead, i wish i could remember what the film was called but i remember thinking i'd like to make her get another abortion

...it's the eye 2, i feel so much better now

Has nobody said The Evil Dead?

The Omen
The Howling
The Amityville Horror
Night of the Living Dead
The Exorcist 3
Carrie

i did at the start but i preferred the sequal. when you slam a chainsaw into the stump that used 2 be your arm then you do better than the first time around

Pet Sematary 2 was a neils7147933 certified two-flusher

i did at the start but i preferred the sequal. when you slam a chainsaw into the stump that used 2 be your arm then you do better than the first time around

the sequal i found more of a gory comedy than horror.

wouldn't say Ichi the killer was a horror, but i would say it is a brilliant flick.

Yeah it wasn't a film to make you jump just some of the gore and imagery are unsettling.

anything that doesn't involve clowns
