Top 10 Horror Movies

Hello friends :) Ever since I was about 6 yrs old, I have loved Horror movies. So as you can imagine Halloween is right up there on the list of fav holidays. So todays post will be about the top 10 halloween movies that I have seen.

#1 Friday the 13th Part 1: I have to say, this is the definitive horror movie. the friday series as a whole is my favorite, and nothing beats the original movie. The remake was decent, but did not live up to the original.

#2 Halloween Part 1: This is the movie that made Jamie Lee Curtis a scream queen. I think this movie has that boogyman right next door premise that makes it awesome. The other movies in the series are good (well, most of them are), but (as you'll see a common theme with me) nothing beats the original.

#3 Nightmare on Elm St: This is one of the few where I don't like the original the best. Part 4 is by far the goriest, but part 2 outshines 1. From part 5 on, it becomes more plot driven than the other movies, which is bad for a slasher. The much later movies (Freddy's Dead The Final Nightmare and Wes Cravens New Nightmare) certainly had a better budget than others so they are more visually appealing (not necessarily better).

#4 Freddy vs. Jason: This combines 2 of my favorite slashers so of course I love this movie. I also love that it digs into (kinda literally) Jason's back story. Not to mention the kills in this movie are downright awesome. This movie adds a whole new demension to both Freddy and Jason. I hope that a part 2 can get moving, because I would love to see it.

#5 Pet Semetary: I love Stephen King. After seeing the movie a half-dozen times, I went back and read the book. I was shocked that the book was more gory than the movie. I literally almost threw up when the "Pascal" character is described, but in the movie he's not too bad. That being said, this movie really captures the essence of Stephen King's demented mind.

#6 Scream: This is my favorite non-80's horror movie. I love that I get so many chances to yell "HE'S RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!!!!" at the tv screen. another thing that I love about this series is that they always put a twist at the end so the killer is not who it seemed to be.

#7 I Know What You Did Last Summer: This movie (and its sequel) have the same appeal to me that Scream does. I can laugh at the stupidity of the people. What makes this one different is that the acting is much better. Each of the stars of this 90's slasher have gone on to have very successful careers.

#8 Dark Night of the Scarecrow: This is one of my dad's favorites, which means I have seen it a lot. For its time and budget it is actually a really good movie. I find some older movies (70's and 80's) hard to watch sometimes because of the low-budgetness of the movie. This movie will have you on the edge of your seat.

#9 The Shining: Another great Stephen King movie. This movie creeps me out a lot. I've seen it many times and still don't have the understory quite figured out.

#10 Hocus Pocus: Now I know this is a kids movie, and isn't scary at all. But it is a very funny movie and does a great job at not stereotyping witches. I try to watch this at least once a year.

Well, thats the 10. Anyone out there completely disagree with a choice? Is your favorite not up there? Tell me about it. Maybe you'll find me a new favorite.
