The Horror Thread [ARCHIVED] Movie • Page 32

that's the line that made me realize how great/silly the movie was. The cop or whatever had a bunch of good lines but that put it over the top

 

Same here. I think I discovered the connection while reading Blake Lively's IMDB trivia page...don't judge me.

 

Evil Dead
Nightmare on Elm St
Halloween
Texas Chainsaw
Fright Night
The Faculty
REC
Cold Prey
The Exorcist
Night of the Living Dead
Return of the Living Dead
28 Days Later
the Hills Have Eyes
The Ring
Sinister
The Omen
also idc I really like Terror Train
Black Christmas
Inside

idk.

I don't really care for the first Friday the 13th tbh. Also I meant to put like 5 things and it just kept growing lol

 

Agree with most of these. Definitely would add The Blair Witch Project and Scream

The first Friday the 13th is still my favorite. The only ones I haven't seen yet are Jason Goes to Hell, Jason X, and the remake, so I don't see that changing

 

I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT SCREAM!!!!

I like the 3rd Friday the 13th. idk why lol or what the consensus on that one even is but it was always my fave as a kid. Jason X is an iconic masterpiece honestly.

 

Top 10:

10. The Exorcist
9. Poltergeist
8. Dawn of the Dead (04...best theater experience I've ever had)
7. Blair Witch Project
6. The Thing
5. Evil Dead
4. Scream 2
3. Halloween
2. The Shining
1. Scream

I'm a sucker for lists.

 

The few lists posted so far are just showing me that there are too many good ones cause I love like everything on all the lists!

 

@Kiana I know this has already been established...BUT YOU FORGOT SCREAM!? Hahah..sorry, it's my fave.

Btw...The Faculty would probably be in 11th. Great picks.

 

Scream is one of my faves too that's why I can't believe myself! Billy Loomis was like my first crush and foreshadowed the terrible taste in men I would eventually have. Tho none of them murdered anyone that I know of so there's that

 

Pheww...that's good. I think it's safe to say that Billy was Skeet's best role. He absolutely nailed it.

 

Also I unironically love I Know What You Did Last Summer and it makes me so angry every time how close SMG's character was to escaping like COME ON

 

I liked him in Jericho but his teeth were super distracting.

 

I LOVE THE FACULTY. I totally forgot about it.

 

OMG YAAAAY! I get so excited every Halloween when I break out my Faculty avatar haha. We would rent it constantly at the video store, along with Spice World of course

 

I need to see The Faculty

 

If we are going to post essentials, we should break it down by type too...

Foreign
Slasher
Paranormal
Sci-fi
Classic
Etc.

 

I might just go with classic and modern to keep it simple

 

Remember when the AP horror thread had an OP with a list of movies and said something like "don't comment unless you've seen most of these. And don't ask for recs either, we're not your personal recommendation service"?

Lol so shitty

 

I think my 1st post in that thread was for recs lol

 

Let the Right One In
The Brood
Texas Chainsaw Massacre(original)
Halloween(original)
The Thing
The House of the Devil
Evil Dead 1 & 2
A Nightmare on Elm Street (original)
The Conjuring
An American Werewolf in London
Kill List
It Follows
The Fly
Scream
Alien
The Shining


Guilty Pleasures:
Darkness Falls
Jason X
Stir of Echoes
The Sixth Sense
Komodo

 

I think we should just compile our lists into what is mentioned most. Or by sub genre like someone mentioned.

 

I've never seen Komodo but these movies are amazing don't feel guilty for your good taste imo!

 

After my dad took me to see Darkness Falls I was terrified every night for months. Movie wrecked my 12 year old mind.

 

I have a very intense fear of the dark so that movie was my everything. So sad when I wiki'd the actor and found out he'd died of sleep apnea. Basically anything playing on fears of the dark or night time or sleeping will freak me out. That's why I'm a Nightmare on Elm St fan. Like you can outrun or outsmart a killer but you have to sleep!!
