- DirectorWilliam FriedkinStarsEllen BurstynMax von SydowLinda BlairWhen a young girl is possessed by a mysterious entity, her mother seeks the help of two Catholic priests to save her life.Anyone who says this isn't one of the best horror movies of all time is just a hater. The use of subliminal images and creepy possessed Reagan all kick ass. By whe way this list will have nothing like the Fog, The Mist, Skeleton Key, Screams, etc . which all may scare you if you're retarded.
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsJack NicholsonShelley DuvallDanny LloydA family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where a sinister presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from both past and future.Here's 2 creepy girls ! Oh yeh and here's Johnny! His money's no good here... I wonder why?
- DirectorRob ZombieStarsSid HaigKaren BlackBill MoseleyTwo young couples traveling across the backwoods of Texas searching for urban legends of murder end up as prisoners of a bizarre and sadistic backwater family of serial killers.Like Texas Chainsaw Massacre 30 years later!
- DirectorTobe HooperStarsMarilyn BurnsEdwin NealAllen DanzigerFive friends head out to rural Texas to visit the grave of a grandfather. On the way they stumble across what appears to be a deserted house, only to discover something sinister within. Something armed with a chainsaw.The original backwoods slasher! Poor Franklin never stood a chance!
- DirectorMeir ZarchiStarsCamille KeatonEron TaborRichard PaceAn aspiring writer is repeatedly assaulted, humiliated, and left for dead by four men she systematically hunts down to seek revenge.Much better than the remake in which the girl is kinda undead or like a zombie...this girl actually never dies which is much better. Not as graphic as the newer one..but once again she's not a zombie and for 1978 this one is pretty brutal.
- DirectorMichael MannStarsWilliam PetersenKim GreistJoan AllenFormer FBI profiler Will Graham returns to service to pursue a deranged serial killer dubbed "the Tooth Fairy" by the media.The 1st time we get to see Hannibal Lector, played wonderfully by Brian Cox. They remade this movie years later with Anthoney Hopkins...but this one is much better. The Tooth Fairy is extremely creepy rivaling Buffalo Bill...and the whole mood and tone of this film is just good. Great cinematography also.
- DirectorTobe HooperStarsElizabeth BerridgeShawn CarsonJeanne AustinFour teenagers visit a local carnival for a night of innocent amusement, but soon discover that nothing there is innocent or amusing.If you liked the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre this one is right up your alley. Directed by the same Tobe Hooper just as creepy. Who knew a carnival with two-headed cows in Texas could be messed up? I think most people knew.
- DirectorGore VerbinskiStarsNaomi WattsMartin HendersonBrian CoxA journalist must investigate a mysterious videotape which seems to cause the death of anyone one week to the day after they view it.I put this one up here instead of Ringu...because Asian horror movies aren't usually my thing. Though the original is definitely worth checking out.
- DirectorTakashi ShimizuStarsMegumi OkinaMisaki ItôMisa UeharaA mysterious and vengeful spirit marks and pursues anybody who dares enter the house in which it resides.Only Japanese film of mine to make the list...even though the Asians do horror right. Sarah Michelle Geller who ??
- DirectorRichard DonnerStarsGregory PeckLee RemickHarvey StephensMysterious deaths surround an American ambassador. Could the child that he is raising actually be the Antichrist? The Devil's own son?In my opinion the only 1 other than the Exorcist out of the hundreds of child being posessed films to make the cut.
- DirectorTobe HooperStarsJoBeth WilliamsHeather O'RourkeCraig T. NelsonA family's home is haunted by a host of demonic ghosts.They're heeeree.... My sexy ass girl Megan likes this one....but then again she also loves the Paranormal Activities....uuugghh
- DirectorBob ClarkStarsOlivia HusseyKeir DulleaMargot KidderDuring their Christmas break, a group of sorority girls are stalked by a stranger.This is only Black Christmas to see....the original. The remake is awful....plus most horror movies that come out during Christmas don't do too well......original idea though...
- DirectorJonathan DemmeStarsJodie FosterAnthony HopkinsScott GlennA young F.B.I. cadet must receive the help of an incarcerated and manipulative cannibal killer to help catch another serial killer, a madman who skins his victims.What 1 of like 2 or 3 horror movies ever to win an Oscar??....deservedly so.
- DirectorTobe HooperStarsDennis HopperCaroline WilliamsJim SiedowA radio host is victimized by the cannibal family as a former Texas marshal hunts them.Chop Top is my boy! More gory than the original...though probably not as good...its still better than both the remakes. Dennis Hopper loses his mind!
- DirectorWes CravenStarsHeather LangenkampJohnny DeppRobert EnglundTeenager Nancy Thompson must uncover the dark truth concealed by her parents after she and her friends become targets of the spirit of a serial killer with a bladed glove in their dreams, in which if they die, it kills them in real life.What dude doesn't want to see Johnny Depp die ??
- DirectorMichael DoughertyStarsAnna PaquinBrian CoxDylan BakerFive interwoven stories that occur on Halloween: an everyday high school principal has a secret life as a serial killer; a college virgin might have just met the guy for her; a group of teenagers pull a mean prank; a woman who loathes the night has to contend with her holiday-obsessed husband; and a mean old man meets his match with a demonic, supernatural trick-or-treater.An awesome halloween movie that doesn't have Michael Myers in it. A bit far-fetched...but its fun. Very comic book/Tales From the Crypt style. Kids check your candy.
- StarsRichard ThomasTim ReidAnnette O'TooleIn 1960, seven pre-teen outcasts fight an evil demon who poses as a child-killing clown. Thirty years later, they reunite to stop the demon once and for all when it returns to their hometown.No wonder people...kids especially don't like clowns. Tim Curry's a madman. Beep Beep Reggie !!
- DirectorGeorge MihalkaStarsPaul KelmanLori HallierNeil AffleckA decades-old folk tale surrounding a deranged murderer killing those who celebrate Valentine's Day turns out to be true to legend when a group defies the killer's order and people start turning up dead.Tarantino's favorite horror film.....pretty original.... but the remake is awful. Definitely look for the director's cut which has an awesome scene involving a laundromat.
- DirectorRobert HiltzikStarsFelissa RoseJonathan TierstenKaren FieldsBunks and showers are a mad stabber's beat at a summer camp strictly for teens.Who goes to camp to sleep ? These campers are really good at taking dirtnaps.
- DirectorRob ZombieStarsScout Taylor-ComptonMalcolm McDowellTyler ManeAfter being committed for 15 years, Michael Myers, now a grown man and still very dangerous, escapes from the mental institution and immediately returns to Haddonfield to find his baby sister, Laurie.An excellant remake of the classic from 1978.....that shows much of Micheal Myers' childhood for the 1st half of the film, then the 2nd half basically pays homage to the original with him as an adult. Directed by Rob Zombie..who also directs the 2nd remake...which is not half as good mainly because the kid who makes the 1st one so good is different.
- DirectorSamuel BayerStarsJackie Earle HaleyRooney MaraKyle GallnerThe spectre of a disfigured man haunts the children of the parents who murdered him, stalking and killing them in their dreams.One of the few remakes to make the list. This one goes into more of Freddy's pedophile past which was originally supposed to be more a part of him in the 80's movies. Also the 1st one not to have Robert Englund play Freddy which I thought I'd hate...but most people will be pleasantly surprised.
- DirectorAdam GreenStarsKane HodderJoel David MooreDeon RichmondWhen a group of tourists in a New Orleans haunted swamp tour find themselves stranded in the wilderness, their evening of fun and spooks turns into a horrific nightmare.Victor Crowley slashes tourists up in some most original ways..... there's also a good sequel.
- DirectorDavid ArquetteStarsJaime KingThomas JaneLukas HaasA Ronald Reagan-obsessed serial killer targets a bunch of hippies who are heading to a weekend-long concert.Tripping on acid and other drugs at a 3 day hippy-fest could have some dire consequences. Did i mention Paul Ruebens ...aka Pee-Wee Herman hosts the event....well he does.
- DirectorAmy Holden JonesStarsMichele MichaelsRobin StilleMichael VillellaA female high school student's slumber party turns into a bloodbath, as a newly escaped psychotic serial killer wielding a power drill prowls her neighborhood.Classic 80's slasher...what more could you want. Chicks in skimpy clothes....retro horror music.... a dead chick falling out of a fridge ?? Sold !!
- DirectorJaume Collet-SerraStarsVera FarmigaPeter SarsgaardIsabelle FuhrmanA husband and wife who recently lost their baby adopt a 9-year-old girl who is not nearly as innocent as she appears.Spoiler alert .....the little girl is blank
- DirectorTom SixStarsDieter LaserWinter WilliamsAshlynn YennieA mad scientist kidnaps and mutilates a trio of tourists in order to reassemble them into a human centipede, created by stitching their mouths to each others' rectums.The name says it all.
- DirectorGeorge A. RomeroStarsDuane JonesJudith O'DeaKarl HardmanA ragtag group of Pennsylvanians barricade themselves in an old farmhouse to remain safe from a horde of flesh-eating ghouls that are ravaging the Northeast of the United States.One of only a few black and white films to make the list... and maybe my only zombie flick. Zombie and vampire films are my least favorite. If you want a better zombie flick than just turn of the news and catch people smoking bath salts. The end of this is really good...they really had a shoot 1st ask questions later mentality, and that shouldn't have given anything away.
- DirectorTod BrowningStarsWallace FordLeila HyamsOlga BaclanovaA circus' beautiful trapeze artist agrees to marry the leader of side-show performers, but his deformed friends discover she is only marrying him for his inheritance.More disturbing than horror.....a good one to own if you can find it. The Ramones loved it.
- DirectorMark RosmanStarsKate McNeilEileen DavidsonJanis WardAfter a seemingly innocent prank goes horribly wrong, a group of sorority sisters are stalked and murdered one by one in their sorority house while throwing a party to celebrate their graduation.One of two 80's classics from the year of my birth.
- DirectorSteve MinerStarsDana KimmellTracie SavageRichard BrookerJason Voorhees stalks a group of friends who have just arrived to spend the weekend at a cabin near Crystal Lake.Forget the 1st film that everyone thinks is a classic. Spoiler alert in the original its mostly Jason's mother doing most of the killing. This is the 1st film in which Jason sports the now famous hockey mask, which he'll continue to wear the next 20+ years. Enough said.
- DirectorDennis IliadisStarsGarret DillahuntMonica PotterTony GoldwynAfter kidnapping and brutally assaulting two young women, a gang unknowingly finds refuge at a vacation home belonging to the parents of one of the victims: a mother and father who devise an increasingly gruesome series of revenge tactics.To me this one was better than the original. If you're squeamish about rape scenes watch it ....or don't... Probably don't.
- DirectorJohn CarpenterStarsDonald PleasenceJamie Lee CurtisTony MoranFifteen years after murdering his sister on Halloween night 1963, Michael Myers escapes from a mental hospital and returns to the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois to kill again.Micheal Myers ....whoop whoop the original "walk til I get there" killer. Man... if this guy could run he'd be bad-ass.
- DirectorStephen ChiodoStarsGrant CramerSuzanne SnyderJohn Allen NelsonAliens who look like clowns come from outer space and terrorize a small town.Cult classic! Notice no vampire flicks made the cut.....Only time they've ever scared me is when i saw one of the Twilights on acid...and I snuck in....no dollars from my wallet will go to that cause. We thought it'd be funny...but it was just sad.
- DirectorScott DerricksonStarsEthan HawkeJuliet RylanceJames RansoneA controversial true-crime writer finds a box of Super 8 home movies in his new home, revealing that the murder case he is currently researching could be the work of an unknown serial killer whose legacy dates back to the 1960s.Like Insiduous meets Paranormal Activity..but on a bigger budget than the latter, and without the shaky camcorder feel.
- DirectorWilliam MaloneStarsGeoffrey RushFamke JanssenTaye DiggsAn amusement park mogul offers a group of diverse people $1,000,000 to spend the night in a haunted house with a horrifying past.There's a reason this movie is 2 bucks in the bin at walmart. You want a better one....see the original..... or maybe not..its pretty bad also. This is on my list as a joke.
- DirectorJared HessStarsJack BlackAna de la RegueraHéctor JiménezBerated all his life by those around him, a monk follows his dream and dons a mask to moonlight as a Luchador (Mexican wrestler).This one is up here ironically... just an awful movie
- DirectorJames WanStarsPatrick WilsonRose ByrneTy SimpkinsA family looks to prevent evil spirits from trapping their comatose child in a realm called The Further.
- DirectorAlexandre AjaStarsTed LevineKathleen QuinlanDan ByrdA traveling family falls victim to a group of mutated cannibals in a desert far away from civilization.
