What are your Top Ten Horror flicks for Halloween?

by **DaGip** on Thu Oct 30, 2014 12:10 am

I was talking in Global Chat, and someone was speaking about The Descent. Most definitely on my list of movies that I have watched. I have never watched The Ring but I heard it is one of the best...I can't include it on my personal list.

Here we go, DaGip's Top Ten Must Watch Horror Movies:

10. Killer Klowns From Outer Space
9. American Werewolf in London
8. The Howling
7. The Thing (1980's)
6. The Shining
5. The Blob (1980's)
4. Drag Me To Hell
3. The Descent
2. The Loved Ones
1. The Exorcist (duh!)

These are only the top ten in my experience. This list could change as I rethink things and remember movies that I have seen in the past. I suppose some of the real oldies (Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy...) we should watch out of nostalgia, but I never found them that scary or shocking. And the Conjuring didn't make the list, sorry.

Not much for horror movies, never been my thing, so here's my list.

It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown (it's a classic, and still beats out a lot of modern shows)
The Halloween Tree (1993 animated film I grew up watching and actually gives insight to the history behind Halloween)
Friday the 13th films (only slasher/horror series I have ever gotten into, as Jason Voorhees, you can kind of see why he would become a serial killer and slaughter people)
Hocus Pocus (It's funny, entertaining, and fun fact, the guy who played Binks (as a human) goes on to play Timothy McGee on NCIS)
The Corpse Bride (I don't know what it is with Tim Burton making what would otherwise be pretty good kid movies have such a creepy tone to them, but they are still good)

This last one is not really one movie, but a series of scenes, and that's the scenes in Moria and the Lonely Mountain in the The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Why? On screen, not so bad. But the parts where it goes overhead showing what looks to be a never ending fall into the bowels of the earth into eternal darkness has been giving me some very strange dreams lately of being in a labyrinth of rooms underground in seemingly endless darkness. So, yeah.

I just read the Halloween Tree. Part of my Bradbury collection that I've never gotten around to reading until now. I had no idea it was a movie, too.

So they made Something Wicked This Way comes into a movie, and the Halloween Tree, and Fahrenheit 541. Anything else? Any other Bradbury-based movies I should know about?

Very few horror movies I like to rewatch. I do like early parts of zombie movies (before it is clear the apocalypse is upon us).

The first 10 minutes of the re-made Dawn of the Dead are great; all of World War Z, Pontypool, the first half of the Crazies.

Also, the first Resident Evil movie is amazing.

Really, for a true scare, I play Street Fighter with the Yoshiess and am terrified at how terrible people can be at video games.

Didn't they make a movie of "The Illustrated man"?
