Favorite Horror Movies

[profholt82]

It's October so naturally I've been watching a lot of horror flicks. I've been watching mostly 80s horror lately (Nightmare series, Friday the 13th series, Critters, etc.). As far as all-time, my favorites are The Haunting (1963), The Shining (1980) and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). I also really like the Coffin Joe movies. So what are your favorites?

Child's Play
Anything based on Stephen King stories
Friday the 13th series

I'm not into the really gory stuff or zombie stuff either.

[Splatterhouse5]

01. The Thing (82)
02. Dawn of the Dead (78)
03. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (74)
04. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (78)
05. Psycho (68)
06. Frailty
07. The Descent
08. The Exorcist (73)
09. Session 9
10. The Strangers

That sounds about right for my top ten of the moment, although my top 4 are always in my top ten.

On a side note, I just recently rewatched all the Nightmare on Elm Street flicks. The sequels are pretty terrible. I remember thinking those movies were cool when I was a kid, but a couple of those sequels are borderline unwatchable to me now.

I was never a huge fan of the series but anything past part 3 is terrible.

Alien series
Predator series
The Blob
Species 1 and 2
Event Horizon

I'm not really into horror movies, but I did like the "Alien" Series. I also enjoyed "The Dead Zone", if you can count that as a horror movie.

I agree with that assessment with the exception of New Nightmare which is arguably the best sequel of the series.
