My Top 10 Favorite Horror Movies!

||||||||||||||||||||||
One A Nightmare on Elm Street 1984
I love this movie SO much! It's so weird because Halloween used to be my favorite horror movie, but upon multiple viewings this movie has made it to my number one horror. The theme music is terrifying & cool at the same time, and the plot aspect that he kills you in your dreams is just really awesome. Two Saw series 2000's
I was originally going to use just Saw 1, because it IS my favorite but the fact is that I adore the whole series. I know there are a lot of people in here who don't appreciate the Saw movies and that's fine but I think they're brilliant & I'm a hardcore Saw fan. The first is brilliant, and started it all and eventhough 2-5 (so far) are just bloodbaths, there's still the level of suspense & surprise. Three The Descent 2005
I went into this movie expecting to LOVE it, and when it first started I liked it. As it got more into it, I was annoyed by all but one of the female characters (the lead, Shauna) and wanted to turn it off but I kept it on and it wound up being something I would rave about for many years to come. I love this movie SO SO much, and I love how it all plays out. The blood pool is just so disgustingly awesome, and I love how these women turn into animals themselves to stay alive from these creatures. Awesome creatures btw. And all this coming from someone who typically does not enjoy "creature" horrors. Four Scream 1996
If nothing else, this movie is here for nostalgia purposes. It was NOT the first horror movie I saw, but it was the first horror movie that started my ~obsession~. I saw this in the theater when it came out (and 2 and 3 of course), and after that year seeing this movie I became obsessed with the genre. I think this is a great movie overall, but it's on the list because it needs recognition for me being here in this spot, making this list! Five Halloween 1978
What can I say, this is just a classic! I actually don't watch horror movies to get scared, and I don't find too many of them scary but Michael Myers (for reasons unknown) scares the !!!! out of me! I've had nightmares about him. This movie deserves a ranking in this list too for that reason alone. Six Amusement 2009
This is one of those movies that is unheard of. It just came out this year on straight-to-DVD release, and it looked amazing so I had to check it out. It's basically about a guy from grade school who holds a grudge on these 3 women who ~made fun of him~ and now he's seeking revenge on them. There are 3 separate stories on how each of the girls got caught, and the rest of the film is them fighting for their lives. Incredibly interesting, and amazing cinematography. It's a must-see! Seven Rosemary's Baby 1968
This movie being on this list is pretty strange for people who know me well. I'm a slasher fangirl, I like all the gore I can get! But this movie just isn't that. I actually watched this movie every other night to put me to sleep (the movie I watched on the other nights was Murder By Death, which is my favorite ever). I know all the words and everything, and this is just a beautifully acted film and is put together so well. This movie makes me appreciate older, more classic horror from time to time. Eight Candyman 1992
This movie terrified me when I was a kid! It's the scariest horror film I've ever seen. It can't be explained, but this movie just goes to certain places that most other films won't. It was a great movie for its time, and it's still great now! Nine The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003
Yeah yeah, I know. It's a remake! I actually really enjoyed this film an incredible amount. I have seen the original and I don't really like it. This one makes my heart race, in a very good way!! The performances were very good, and though I'm not a FAN of Jessica Biel she did splendid in this role. This movie is so great, I could watch it numerous times! Ten The Strangers 2008
This isn't a slasher, but it's really suspenseful. I loved this movie, and it made me jump half a dozen times at least! I loved all the suspense build up and the ending was amazing. I don't really want a sequel but I'm sure its inevitable there will be one. This is a great date movie, if only so you can cling onto someone's arm. So now, I challenge all the rest of you to make your lists and put it in an article! :) I want to see them! |

"but it was the first horror movie that started my ~obsession~"
It happened the same to me, I think we were born on the same here so I guess that´s why. I LOVED all te scream movies, they were SO scary at the time...and that´s probably why I should still count them as my favorite movies, but I can´t lol. A few years ago I watched Scream 2 again and it didn´t scary me at all. I was so disappointed and forgot all about those movies.
Yeah, sure I grew up. But hey that didn´t happen with "It" or ". I Shinning". I also watched those movies when I was very, actually too young to watch them, and they still scare me.
In my opinion, the Scream movies turned into a cliché, because of the major commercial success they got and because a LOT of other movies were inspired by Scream. Those movies, which I also enjoyed watching when I was young, like "Urban Legend" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer", were like a copy of Screams so, I always had the feeling I was watching the same thing over and over again. Who cares, I liked it anyway....but now, I just can´t.
With that being said, I applaud you though for including Screams on your list. They deserve it because of what you said, which is totally right ("but it was the first horror movie that started my ~obsession~").
"Saw":
I have to say that I´m not a big Saw fan, but there are a couple of movies that I enjoyed watching, like Saw2 and Saw3. The last one was disappointing. The first one, although the plot was also very interesting, there wasn´t so much action. The onyl thing that makes "Saw" not one of my favorite moves, are the constant flashbacks. I don´t care about the people, I don´t care what they had been through! I think they focused too much on every single character (not just the main one) and that made the movies a little bit boring, in my opinion. I just want more suspense, more terror, more blood, more whatever!
=)
"Amusement": I liked that movie as well, I just wished the killer was more clever. Yes, he was messed up and all, but he also seemed a bit dumb.
"Rosemary's Baby": LOVE that movie, and it´s one of my favorite horror movies ever!!
"Candyman": I totally agree. It still terrifies me (and I still don´t dare saying candyman on the mirror ^^).
The "Descent", The "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "Nightmare on Elm Street": totally agree with what you said.
By the way, what do you think of "Jeepers Creepers" (because I´m sure you have seen it)?
Great ideia article, Heather. ;)
I have seen Jeepers Creepers, and at first I didn't like it. I thought it was so dumb, the ending with him being a butterfly or whatever. But it's kinda stuck with me over time. I do like it, it's just not one of those movies that I squee about.
Jeepers Creepers had good acting. I like the lead girl in it, she was in Dead & Breakfast...I wish she did more though.
