Awesome show. My favorite shows are with Chris Alo. Guy knows his stuff. A pleasure to listen to.Cheers guys!!!! 👍
thanks for the kind words!!! :)
Love how you guys reflect back on how these movies affected you in your childhood and the memories they bring. I can still remember when I 1st got HBO on a satellite dish waking up as a kid and watching The Thing and being completely terrified... Or how watching The Exorcist as a kid I still couldn't shake it till I was older to watch it again... Thanks for all the monster den videos they're great. My faves: The Exorcist, Alien, Jaws, The Thing, Texas CSM.
I remember when they aired The Thing for the first time on network tv..I was 4 or5 at the time and was covering my face with the couch cushions..my dad was laughing at me lol. great film
My top 10 horror films are:
#1 Halloween (1978). It's actually my favourite movie of all time.
#2 Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1973)
#3 Night of the Living Dead
#4 Alien
#5 The Exorcist
#6 Creepshow
#7 They Live
#8 Suspiria
#9 Psycho
#10 Hereditary
Honourable mentions off the top of my head:
- Chopping Mall
- The Platform
- Friday the 13th (1980)
Fantastic show gentlemen, this was a lot of fun!
Halloween (1978) is also my favorite horror AND favorite horror movie of all time as well!!
Cool list
Agreed on Halloween. I saw that movie at far too young an age and Myers haunted me for years afterwards! I was checking behind doors and under my bed, etc. Ridiculous 🤣 but anyway, I came to love the movie as I got older and watched all the sequels, including the awful remakes. It gives a greater appreciation of what a brilliant job John Carpenter and Debra Hill did with that 1978 original.
Pete, you have that youthful enthusiasm. You just have a passion for music, movies and comics. This is what keeps me coming back.
Great show Dave, Chris and Pete. My favs:
Last House on the Left; Alien; Psycho; The Exorcist; A Tale of Two Sisters; Train to Busan; The Abominable Snowman; The Thing (1982); Night of the Living Dead; Halloween
Totally agree on Night of the Living Dead. The claustrophobia, unpredictability, and tragic ending put it over the others. My list: The Thing, Alien, 28 Days Later, Night of the Living Dead, Halloween, Mandy, Let the Right One In, Lost Boys, Suspiria, and The Shining.
Great show Pete - excellent choices - just finished watching the original Wicker Man which is number ten
10. Wicker Man
9. Seconds
8. Silence of the lambs
7. Jaws
6.Saw
5. The Thing
4.Alien
3. The omen
2.the shining
1. Psycho
Special mention
Misery
Halloween
The Birds
The Road
Burnt Offerings
Seconds is a fantastic film. Burnt Offerings is also a great shout. The Birds rules.
oh yeah Seconds..good one
My number one is the oddball which is Halloween III. It's got the mad professor, killer robots, lots of gore, and wait for it: Sacrifice all the children....plus at the end, can the hero stop the mass murder? You just don't know.... Love the soundtrack and the computerized intro displaying the mask
Thank you Pete, Chris and Dave!
One of the best Monsters Den episodes, as far as Roger Ebert hating The Thing please keep in mind he liked The Talking Heads. Great to see Re-Animator here, Pete you keep costing me money, had to go to Amazon to look at the Universal horror Blu-rays, all on sale, picked up Dracula and Wolfman , loved these as a kid , thanks guys

2.) Horror of Dracula
3.) Twins of Evil
4.) Alien

8.) Mark of the Devil

And many more!
RIP Mrs. Schroeder wherever you are - Thank you for taking me and your son to "Dawn of The Dead" when we were underage. Side note folks - Yes, poor Mrs. Schroeder had to endure this movie for she had NO idea what she was getting in to before we went in. And yes, my friend, was grounded by her for a week for having tricked her into taking us.....
In fact - this comment goes out to EVERY parent who was nice enough to be tricked into taking us kids to horror films we couldn't have got into otherwise.
You mention The Exorcist III, actually "Legion", and that some "are warming to it." It's absolutely brilliant, and has the best jump scare of all-time. Also the bitter, ironic, back-and-forth, between Kinderman and the priest is hilarious. I love it!
Exorcist 3 probably the creepiest movie ever..is that the scene with the nurse and the scissors
@@davedesilets3340 exactly!
Agreed! The only thing about the movie that doesn't work for me is the priest that comes into the film at the very end. I was always like, "where'd this guy come from??"

Runner ups..
When A Stranger Calls
The Thing
Actress Veronica Cartwright is the Alien co-star you're trying to recall. Such a small role in Alien, but like everyone else she is terrific in it
For what it's worth: I went back and watched Siskel and Eberts review of The Thing and read Ebert's original newspaper review as well. Ebert never calls it the "worst movie of all time," and gave it two and a half out of four stars. Siskel liked it more, giving it a moderate recommendation. Both thought it was too gross. I seriously doubt Ebert's review kept any horror fans away.
A little too late for me so I want to get my list in before the broadcast starts. A little background, I was a kid in the 60s, grew up with the Universal classics and Hammer films.
1. Halloween (1978)
2. Night of the Living Dead (1968). Dawn of the Dead was the better film but I saw this on the big screen when it first came out and it was something I had never seen.
3.. Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974).
4. Frankenstein (1931). Bride of Frankenstein was the better film. But this was the original Karloff classic.
5.Black Sunday (1960)
6. Suspiria
7. The Exorcist
8. Psycho
9. Black Sunday(1963)
10. Dracula (1931)/Horror of Dracula. OK I'm pulling a Pete, this is a tie,. Horror of Dracula is the better movie but as a kid in the 60s I fell in love with the Universal classics. Bela Lugosi will always be my Dracula. Also the beginning of the film at Castle Dracula is classic. Some of the most famous quotes in horror movie history.
HM: The Shining, House on Haunted Hill (1959), Evil Dead, Nosferatu (1922), Carnival of Souls.
Just realized a typo. #9 should have been Black Sabbath (1963) not Black Sunday which I mentioned earlier.
You guys are on point with trailers. Beyond the Door scared the shit out of me. It's Alive trailer too. Saw Magic tailer in theaters. Frightening.
Great selections everyone !
I saw the Exorcist at the cavernous University theatre in downtown Toronto . It was the third day after it was first released , and nobody really knew anything about it . The theatre was packed , and as the movie progressed, you could cut the tension with a knife . Every time Demi went down the hallway , the whole crowd was screaming Don’t Do It ! Don’t Open That Door !! . It is the greatest in- theatre experience that I’ve ever had . Yes , it’s my favourite horror movie of all time .
1 The Thing
2 Hellraiser
3 Nightbreed
4 Night of the living dead
5 Texas chainsaw (original)
6 Pet Cemetery
7 American werewolf in London
8 A Nightmare on elm street
9 Terror at the Opera
10 The Exorcist
1.The Shining 2. Alien 3. Jaws 4. The Exorcist 5. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 6. Psycho Joint 6. The Silence of The Lambs 7.Halloween 8. The Thing 9. An American Werewolf in London 10. The Omen Joint 10. Night of the Living Dead Honrable mentions - Seven, Hellraiser, The Witch, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Aliens.
I agree with your number 1 pick : )
American werewolf is kind of a comedy
You left out French connection 💤
Many thanks lads, would love to watch a film or two with you at Chris's place but just to hear you talk about your favourites is always a joy on the Monster's Den.
Psycho, The Birds, Rosemary’s Baby, The Shining, The Exorcist, Omen, Carrie, Burnt Offerings, Fright Night, Them
I really enjoy those 1950's sci fi monster films like It Came From Beneath the Sea, The Claw, The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms and of course my fav: Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Kevin McCarthy
Them, yes
I know I'm four months late but thanks Pete, Chris, and Dave for this list here are my top ten favorite horror/slasher films of all time:
1. The Exorcist
2. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
3. Dawn of the Dead
4. Suspiria
5. Friday the 13th (part 1) I feel this is the creepiest and darkest one in the series it keeps you guessing till the end on who's doing the killing and of course we find out it's Mrs. Voorhees
6. Jaws
7. The Conjuring
8. Halloween
9. Alien
10. The Shining
My top ten, in no particular order:
-Suspiria
-Deep Red
-Tenebrae
-A Blade in the Dark (L. Bava)
-Black Christmas
-Dawn of the Dead
-New York Ripper
-House by the Cemetery
-Inferno
-Shock
And I agree with Chris...the SUSPIRIA remake was an abomination.
"Burnt Offerings" in our house meant when my Mother would come into the living room and say "Dinners Ready!"
Great show gents. Accidentally deleted my original comments so will just repeat that Jaws is the number one for me. Growing up and living in Florida, this movie has buried itself so deeply in my psyche that I cannot go into the ocean with turning my head back and forth looking for either the shadow or "the fin." And people still ask me what I am expecting to see. Again, great show and thanks to special guest Dave LaGreca for appearing with Chris and Pete in this episode.
Great show as usual! I didn’t hear “The Omen” which I think is one of the scariest movies I have ever seen! Greetings and big hug to you all!
No doubt
Dave, Great call on Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things! I saw it around ‘80 or ‘81 on Chiller Theatre out of the NYC and it scared the bejesus out of me too. The weird modular Moog-based soundtrack added some serious creeps when the zombies started digging themselves out of the ground.
Absolutely the most underrated zombie movie.
I was 23 years old when An American Werewolf in London was released. And it terrified me so badly that I couldn't watch it again. Maybe now...
And of course, I grew up in Monroeville & shopped at the mall. And I attended the University of Pittsburgh. So I was in love with the first 3 Romero zombie films. Amazing!
Great stuff! We are so used to the hunchbacked assistant being called ‘Igor’ culturally, but Dwight Frye played ‘Fritz’ in Frankenstein (1931).
Yes how did I forget that??? I got the olds....
Great show! I’ve yet to see Pumpkin Head. It’s on the menu. Thanks guys!
The demon was incredibly realistic for 1988.
The Exorcist
Night of the Living Dead (I find most of the subsequent zombie flicks gory and spectacular, but not scary.)
Rosemary's Baby (When humor intrudes, it has to be dark in the context of the film, not silly.)
Frankenstein (Old boss, unchallenged by any new boss.)
Psycho (Hey, Norman!")
The Shining (Spectacular and splashy, but Nicholson rides to the rescue.)
The Horror of Dracula (New boss scarier than the old boss?)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
Alien
The Omen (You've got me with well-rendered Satanism.)
HMs: I like the second Hellraiser. The Wolfman. The Screaming Skull--silly now, but scared the bejesus when I was ten years old.
I watched the original trailer for 'The Exorcist' over a year ago and it scared the heck out of me! Since you guys brought up horror movie trailers.
That "strobe" trailer for Exorcist, that could be the scariest trailer of all time!
1. Halloween (favorite movie of any genre)
2. Jaws (If you consider Jaws a true horror movie, if not replace with Suspiria)
3. Alien
4.The Fog
5.The Exorcist
6.Carrie
7. Friday The 13th
8. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
9. The Amityville Horror (Yeah I know the movie sucks but its a nostalgia thing)
10. Rosemary's Baby (or The Shining)
Honorable Mention. Hereditary (Time will prove this to be a modern classic)
My Top 10
10. Night Of The Living Dead (1968)
9. Dawn Of The Dead (1979)
8. Psycho (1960)
7. Stephen King's IT! (1990)
6. The Exorcist

7.The Texas Chainsaw Massacre(1974)

9.Shutter Island
10. The Birds
11.The Grudge ( Scariest movie I have ever seen)
Honorable mentions- Jaws,The Silence of the Lambs ,House on Haunted Hill(1959), The House of Wax(1953), Halloween(1978), Friday the 13th(1981), M(1931),A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 and 3, Sinister and The Babadook.
Great list. Very eclectic. Cool to see Shutter Island. That was a great one.
I thought The Ring was scarier than the Grudge but not by much.
The Grudge was great too!
@@russellgentile4719 I think The Ring is the better movie but something about The Grudge just scared the crap out of me when I was young and it still does to this day.
@@tylerdell1878 that attic seen! Yikes!
@@russellgentile4719 hahaha yeah
Some great picks, but Chucky over Jaws, Lambs, and Babadook?
Great show guys agree with a lot of the picks. Mine:
1) Alien
2 Hereditary
3) The Thing (John Carpenter)
4) The Exorcist
5) Ringu
6) Hellraiser
7) Saw
8) Night of the Living Dead
9) Phantasm
10) Re-Animator
Good call on Hereditary. I don't think any of the movies on their lists were made later than the 1980s but Hereditary is a modern classic that stands with the best of them. One of the most unsettling movies of the last 20 years for sure.
@@BackwoodsFilms Unsettling is a great word to describe Hereditary. It's one of the few movies that after the first viewing I was asking myself, WTF did I just watch? Ari Aster is a modern horror master, can't wait to see what he comes up with next. Midsommer is just outside of my top ten.
The Shining would definitely be in my Top Ten.
Has to be
Without question!
That's my #2 behind Alien. Do not watch it high! lol
No doubt
1. Psycho
2. The Wicker man

Another honorable mention to one of my all-time favorite movies, Predator, which has got a lot of horror elements in it, but not enough to qualify for this list.

Exorcist is by far #1. Classic horror, even on public TV it scared the Cr#$ out of me. Your lists are great, especially Abbott and Costello reminder. One of my favorite goofy zombie scary movie back in the day was Return of Living Dead. Had a few scares, the motorcycle gang and old guy actor who you wouldn't expect to be in the movie, but was great.
1. The Phantom of the Opera (1925).
2. The Invisible Man (1933).
3. The Wolf Man (1941).
4. M (1931).
5. Nosferatu (1922).
6. The Black Cat (1934).
7. The Devil's Daughter (1939).
8. Son of Dracula (1943)
.
9. House on Haunted Hill (1959).
10. The Masque of the Red Death (1964).
Great show and its tough to choose 10 as a fan of the genre. Mine in chrono: The Innocents (1961), The Birds (1963), Night of the Living Dead (1968), Rosemary's Baby (1968), The Exorcist (1973), Jaws (1975), Halloween (1978), Alien (9179), Friday the 13th (1980), and The Shining (1980).
Since I lean towards the nostalgia of yesteryear, her are 10 more recent greats: Saw (2004), Trick or Treat (2007), Orphan (2009), Sinister (2011), The Conjuring (2013), The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016), The Witch (2015), Get Out (2017), Annihilation (2018), and Hereditary (2018)
Love the Hammer horror films. I used to watch cartoons on Saturday mornings when I was a kid, one Saturday I was channel surfing and started watching "Horror Of Dracula" with Lee and Cushing. Stylish and scary, was hooked ever since.
"The Fly" (original) is great, too, as is "Burnt Offerings". I watched those on TV and couldn't sleep for days.
How about an episode on best Horror movie themed bands. Not just Gore infested lyrics and art that dominates the Grindcore and Brutal Death Metal micro genres, but albums that truly sound scary without the gimmicks
Hey guys I just saw a great movie called X. It's pretty slow to start and seems a bit similar to TCM...But once it gets going it really picks up speed. Some real frights, kills, and a definitely different spin to your usual horror flick. Great stuff, I really loved the way it was filmed as well. If you didn't know it was so current you'd think it was filmed in the 70s.
The Dario Argento film which most scared me was Deep Red or Profundo Rosso. The slasher killer was a woman and a mother and the film's music brilliantly created a fearful atmosphere. Also, when I was young, I found Don't Look Now quite scary and disturbing. Red Parka's still freak me out.
It's amazing how many different kinds of horror movies there are! Like, I don't get into Exorcist or TCM, but I love the Freddy and Jason movies. I should probably go back and watch Hellraiser. My favorite zombie movie is that 80s one Return of the Living Dead
That ZOMBIE poster behind Chris looks fkn trippy.
The shining is my #1 pick some of my other favorites are "shadow of the vampire" "reanimator" "what we do in the shadows" "sleepy hollow" and "cabin in the woods". Good show!
Great choices all! Watch every week but first time commenting, for what it’s worth here’s mine although I could do one for every decade.
10. Frightmare (Pete Walker)
9. The Evil Dead
8. Blood On Satan’s Claw
7. An American Werewolf In London
6. Deep Red
5. Dracula (57)
4. Halloween
3. The Wicker Man
2. The Devil Rides Out
1. The Exorcist/ and Exorcist III
1- The Exorcist 2- Evil Dead 3- Brain Dead 4- The Omen 5 - Poltergeist 6- Carrie 7 - The Thing 8 - Alien 9 - Night of the Living Dead 10- Legend Of Hell House (could change tomorrow)
All great lists! Dawn of the Dead is my number 1 too. I Saw it in a mall theater when it first came out. It was the second feature with Phantasm. The audience had no idea. Many of them lost their shit when the projects zombie took that first bite.
Yup.....zombie or no zombie....if they live in the projects, they're always eating free.
@Enzo James They like to freeze-frame that shot. The fake head was meant for the original suicide ending to the movie where Gaylen Ross was going stick her head into the chopper blades. So not to let it go to waste...
1) Universal Monsters classics ( The Mummy, Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolfman, Creature From The Black Lagoon, The Invisible Man, Abbot & Costello meet the monsters)
2) Halloween
3) Night Of the Living Dead
4)The Exorcist
5)Psycho
6) The Fly (Jeff Goldbloom)
7) Alien

5. Bride of Frankenstein

Dwight Frye's character in the first Frankenstein movie was named Fritz...Everyone mistakenly thinks it was Igor because in some of the Frankenstein movies later on it was...Great show by the way
Like with albums, I can't rank my favorites or even put them on a tier chart. Perhaps I could do that with directors. At any rate, some of the greatest horror films for me include:
The Shining (1980 naturally)
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974 of course)
Videodrome
Hour of the Wolf
The original Dead trilogy- Night, Dawn and Day
Repulsion
The Omen (1976)
Sisters
From Beyond
The Ring (2002- I actually appreciate the remake's convoluted backstory over the original)
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
Suspiria (Argento's naturally)
Häxan
The Thing (Capenter's version)
Martin
Mandy
The Killing of a Scared Deer
My list could go on, but you get the gist.
Killing of a Sacred Deer is one of the best films I’ve seen lately. Fantastic pick!
Sharing your knowledge is so appreciated! And when is "The Curse is Real" shirt coming out? Lol
These are definitively some of the best ever horror!
Great show and getting me more in the mood for Halloween! 🎃
Chris the nightime pool story and thinking of JAWS I can relate. I freaked myself out as a kid one night and got out of that pool so fast in the dark. I was terrified even though I KNEW JAWS wasn't in there! That movie is a mind freak!
Very enjoyable show. The love you all have for horror films is admirable. Especially Chris Alo who even loves trash!!!!
Ohh yeah, I'm not all about just the classics, gotta get the B movie trash in there for sure.

Life is better with music.
Still think one of the heaviest/greatest all time scenes is the discovery of the Space Jockey in the first Alien film.
Even though it was an honorable mention, A Nightmare on Elm Street would really be my all time favorite Horror Movie. Saw it as a matinee about 10 times in the theatre over a few week period. The ticket price for a matinee was $2.50!!!! I have seen that movie at least 15-20 times and still love it!!!
I love that poster for Black Gestapo! Awesome!!!!
Most people want to hang w celebrities or something similar. Me…I’d like to go to New York and hang with the SoT crew and talk about music, books and movies!
I love the Black Gestapo poster. I have a DVD set with Black Gestapo, The Black Six and two others I’m not recalling (Maybe Black Samson).
Awesome to see Dave on the show!
It was so much fun
@@davidlagreca Two constants in my world are Busted Open and Sea of Tranquility. Worlds Collide! Thanks for all you do.
Great video, dudes! Now I'm going to have to pop my Dawn of the Dead cherry. NOTLD will always be my fave of all time!
Great stuff, great to see another Twilight zone lover on here, the orginal series rules.
My top ten are in random order.
The Thing
Psycho
The Exorcist
The Innocents
Haloween
Suspiria
Horror if Dracula
Frankenstein 1931
American werewolf in london.
Dawn of the dead.
Hm
Peeping Tom
The Shinning
Carrie.
This may surprise some. But my choice is the 1931 Frankenstein. I think it’s because I was so young when I first saw it. We used to have a Saturday show called Fright Night in Louisville Ky. WDRB 41. Each week they showed two horror movies I was maybe 7 or 8 when I first saw Frankenstein. I can still feel that young sensation of horror when Karloff first walked onto the screen. Just that eerie look on his face. That squared off head. Just scared me senseless. The scene where he throws Maria the little girl into the water is one of the scariest of all time. And there was no special effects. Just such suspense and terror. I mean there were sequels to Frankenstein and of course other scary movie during my life. But still today when I see that movie I shudder. And kind of look over my damn shoulder to see if HES THERE !!!!!
All great choices, from the hosts and in the comments. Great movies being mentioned. Here's my top 10.
1. Alien
2. The Shining
3. Halloween
4. Night of the Living Dead
5. Texas Chainsaw Massacre
6. The Exorcist
7. Hereditary
8. Hellraiser
9. The Nightmare on Elm Street
10. The Thing
Honorable mentions: Event Horizon, The Mist, Evil Dead, Train to Busan, Saw, Hostel, The Hills Have Eyes remake, V/H/S and REC.
The Friday the 13th "saga" i don't even consider them horror movies, most are actually laughable. The 2009 remake was actually more intense than the 80s movies.
One final honorable mention to Dawn of the Dead Snyder's remake, the first 20 minutes of that movie are brilliant, but after they enter the mall, the movies goes completely downhill.
I remember the Its Alive trailor and youre right!! Scary as shit
I love all those movies that you guys picked.
So basically any of those films mentioned would be in my top 10.
Though I would replace Abbott & Costello with Young Frankenstein, I love that movie.
I would also add The Wicker Man, The Evil Dead, Creepshow, Basket Case, Deep Red, The Changeling, The Entity, The Omen, Inferno, The New York Ripper, The Shining, Carrie, Theatre of Blood, The Fly (remake), Fiend Without a Face, Phantasm, House by the Cemetery,
BTW It was See You Next Wednesday not Tuesday.
I’ve always thought it was a missed opportunity not having Tuesday but I guess it was Landis’ homage to the movie theatres.
My favorites of all time as of today are: 10) The Exorcist (Friedkin, 1973) 9) The Omen (Donner, 1976) 8) Dawn Of The Dead (Romero, 1978) 7) Eraserhaed (Lynch, 1977) 6) Braindead (Jackson, 1992) 5) Nosferatu (Herzog, 1979) 4) The Shining (Kubrick, 1980) 3) Rosemary's Baby (Polanski, 1968) 2) Thirst (Park Chan-Wook, 2009) 1) Let The Right One In (Lat Den Ratte Komma In, Alfredson, 2008). Damn, forgot Cronenberg, but which one? Rabid? Scanners?
cronenberg got to be videodrome
You like Herzog's Nosferatu over the 1922 Max Shreck version?
Great episode.
I wonder if one of you, or anyone else, can help me with a movie I saw years ago. It´s not really a horror movie, but really creepy. I don´t remember much of it. It´s either american or british, probably 80´s or 90´s, and all I can remember is that there´s a demon´s (or the devil´s) soul in human bodies, and as the body possesed is getting old, the soul needs to be transferred to a younger body and there´s a ritual around that, with others involved. I also remember something about mice in a maze, which has something to do with the ritual, I think. And the people who get "possesed" with this demon does this thing with their fingers, tapping their fingertips one by one against their thumb, and at the end of the movie when you think all is ok, the demon or whatever is beaten, you see a young child at a bus stop or something, tapping his/her fingertips against the thumb.
Not much to go on, but maybe someone can spot this...
Cheers!
Love it! Thankfully, I've seen probably 98% of these movies. Great choices, guys. My list would differ but that's the great thing about horror: There's room out there for everybody!
Great episode. Kudos to Pete for choosing Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. It's easily the movie I've watched more than any other. Creepshow is also special. It's the first horror movie I saw in a theater and I think also the first R rated film I saw there as well. My dad took me so that's special too. I've heard said movies are all about when you saw it and who you saw it with. I think that's true.
Yep, I couldn't agree more!
Totally enjoyed this. I've never seen Black Christmas Pete, but because you've mentioned this a couple of times on your channel, I've just bought it from eBay, the 1974 version right?
The trailer for The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave freaked me the hell out. I think the movie had been out 20 years by the time I saw the trailer.
Great list. I have to throw the original “The Omen” on there.
10. Blood Rage
9. Friday the 13th part VI: Jason Lives
8. Phantasm
7. Halloween 2
6. City Of The Living Dead
5. A Nightmare On Elm Street 3
4. The Exorcist
3. Halloween
2. A Nightmare On Elm Street
1. Night Of The Living Dead
These are my Halloween movies. This isn't a complete horror list because, for me, not all horror gives me an October, Autumnal Halloween feel. Thus Alien and The Thing aren't on this top 10, even though they are top 10 horror movies.
Honorable Mention:
Exorcist 3
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Inferno
Tales From The Crypt
How could I forget Evil Dead I & II and Black Sunday?!
The Dead Zone
The Shinig
The Thing
Alien
Peeping Tom
Poltergeist
The Fly (1986)
Vampyr (1932)
Eyes without a Face (1960)
Saw
Pete, you sound a lot like me! When I was a kid, all I wanted to watch were all the monster movies.
Witches, vampires, and slithery things can always get you, but the Japanese have honed horror to a fine art. My wife reminded me that one of the reasons they're so bloody scary, is because they're all based on true stories.
