Favorite Horror movies

I loved "Jason X". Such a underrated, silly, film. I like all the "Fridays" cept 9. Sans that begininning and Freddys glove at the end. Those were awesome. I also HATED Jason VS Freddy. Sorry, Kane Hodder should have played Jason.

ANYWAY.

All the Halloweens, cept Zombies second one. Even my really good friend hated it, and Zombie could NEVER do any wrong by her.

The Universal Monsters. The Creature from the Black Lagoon is awesome. Any of the classics I can watch over and over again. I have them on Blu-ray. Simply amazing.

Jaws. I was alive when this first was released. People were so scared that at the YMCA in the middle of Chicago nobody wanted to go swimming cause they were afraid of a shark.

The Omen. Just a great classic.

The Exorcist. See above.

Romeros "Dawn" and "Day" of the dead. Forget the rest.

Sleepaway Camp 1,2,3. "Return" was such a let down. I almost cried it was so bad.

Freaks. Tod Browning. Such a classic. One of the greatest movies ever.

I have a soft spot for "Ghoulies 2" I love this movie. Not "scary" but just fun.

Chopping Mall. Killer robots killing hot 80s girls? Yes please!

Motel Hell. Gotta love Farmer Vincent.

The Human Centipede PART 2. a really well done film.

Killer Klowns from Outter Space. Campy fun.

The Blob "1988" I think it's a very underrated movie. Shawnee Smith is HOT!

And probably my all time favorite. The Thing from John Carpenter. I can't think of one thing wrong with this movie. it's pretty much perfect.

And Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer. Maybe not a horror movie. But it was filmed in Chicago and I know pretty much everywhere it was shot. Such a great film.

there are tons more I'm sure you all will add to this!

Way too many. It would be a novel by time I'm finished.

I know for a fact that one of the films on your horrific list is garbage. I wont say it's name just so people do not google that trash. But basically the film im talking about on your list is just a film that does absurd things for shock value and gore. Its offensive and disgusting not scary. So I wonder if the other films you mention arent just the same trash?

To me a horror film should be a story which, if I think about it, will scare me with it's concept.

Take Halloween for example, the killer stalks his victim and then goes in for the kills. That movie is scary to me in a sense that if it were a true story it would be a major mind frack to try and piece together why, where, and when things were done. The film you listed though the guy is a degenerate doing these things for money.


Friday the 13th part 3 is prob the best Jason movie. In this movie we actually see Jason run and this is the movie where he gets his Iconic Mask. PLUS the theme song for the movie was AWESOME.

I love the Shinning, it's messed up on so many levels what's going on in that hotel. I'd love to get my hands on the book some day.

I liked Cabin in the Woods. I think the idea behind the movie leaves it open to so many possibilities.

I like the Texas Chainsaw Franchise. I loved how the most recent film played out. My fave though is the second Chainsaw film. The one with Dennis Hooper, this film is so different from the original but all the while it is very good in its own way. The scene with LeatherFace with that corpse on the bridge is so awesome.

I love well made Zombie movies. The Original Dawn of the Dead gave me so many nightmares as a kid, I loved it. I wish someone would remake Dawn of the living dead, only this time change the story to where the biker gang wants to live in the mall as well as opposed to just sacking it. The "spoof" films Return of the living dead is also a set of great movies. And I really love the Argento Demons films.

Rocky Horror Picture show is prob the best horror movie that isnt scary.

Halloween, the Original, is one of the greats. I Really like Halloween 3 though despite all the hate that film got. I really wish the Halloween franchise would have gone the route they intended to instead of just going back to Micheal Myers.

You might expect me to disagree with you, but I don't. The movie you're talking about has a strong reputation as being the most disturbing movie ever made. Or at least in the top three. There are three movies on my list that a lot of people consider the worst of the worst.

I try to watch disturbing movies. The ones with the really nasty reps. I know that's not everyone's thing. And most people are in it for the fun scares. I would never say I love any of the movies I listed. You can't love them. But they are the movies that really, really challenged me. Some of them I had to watch in pieces. They are nasty films and I understand your reaction.
