50 Essential Horror Movies (3 Viewers)

[hermie]

...seems like a fairly american top 50.

Bigtime. No Let the Right One In, contemporary classic and would've given some international flavor (sorry) to the list. No Re-Animator

Light on the Asian stuff. Possibly because of all the really, really poor American remakes.
A tale of two sisters....creepy as fuck.

Thumped needs lists of its own.

Anyone else think Jaws simply shouldn't be there?

Yeah, not Horror.

 

[Hector Grey]

coupl eof ones that you might classify as sci-fi in there too. Actually, it's a pretty shit list.

Jaws is scarier than most of those other films. I still can't go into the sea.

falls into the trap of dissing Halloween III: Season of The Witch. SILVER SHAMROCK.

Watched it again over Halloween. Seriously under-rated horror movie. Makes me kind of wish they had continued with the Halloween movies as an anthology series, although I do love Halloween 4 & 5 too.

No Omen. Glaring omission if you ask me.

Totally! Can't believe it wasn't in there. So many iconic scenes which genuinely terrified me as a kid. That said, the Top 10 was pretty damn solid. I kinda would include Jaws too as it is technically a horror film, no?

No Day Of The Dead. The superior movie of the trilogy

No Onibaba

No Blood On Satan's Claw

I'd even put Halloween III on mine

they're trippin

 

[george mcfly]

and by trilogy, i mean that Land Of The Dead never happened

same with Diary and Survival

 

[nlgbbbblth]

No Cannibal Holocaust / Ferox.

 

[chutneyfarmer]

No Day Of The Dead. The superior movie of trilogy

Wait, what? Crazy talk!

Wait, what? Crazy talk!

Crazy talk what? That's it's the best?

Always thought it

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy it too, but man no way it's even close to being the best in the trilogy. Not when the other two films in the trilogy are NotLD and DotD!
