1. Psycho...the blueprint for horror movies

 

2. The Exorcist...probably the first movie that scared the crap out of me; something genuine seemed to be going on

 

3. The Shining...Kubrick + an acting feast by Jack = this has gotta be on the list

 

4. Alien...clever way to do horror

 

5. Halloween...the best of the standard slasher flicks

 

6. Silence of the Lambs...great bunch of actors and characters mixed with some twists and turns

 

7. The Omen...creepy little kid + Satan = quality

 

8. Night of the Living Dead...influential as hell

 

9. Texas Chainsaw Massacre...weird, gritty, terrorizing

 

10. An American Werewolf in London...a rockin' good time of a horror movie

 

 

* It should go without saying that I'm referring to the original versions of these films.

I love your list Johnny!!!! Yes! "Psycho!" Hitchcock was a genius. Carpenter's mentor. Like Buddy Rich or Keith Moon to Neil Peart!

I could've easily included Jaws and if so I'd put it at #6 and push everything else down. However, I never really thought of it as horror...even though it really is.

 

Yes! I get it buddy! "Jaws" could work as horror in my mind.

I remember seeing that movie in the theater when my parents when I was just a little kid.

 

I couldn't sleep for a week!

Oh and JB, I still put "The Nightmare Before Christmas" on my Horror list. There is some gray area there to perhaps but the film is quite spooky!

 

The Jack and Sally bit at the end always makes me tear up.

 

Yep I confess. I always thought I would have been married forever. It failed.

 

Hope one day I will find another Sally. Or hopefully she will find me.

Wow Boots!

 

I love how you mix to up with old school slashers and modern day mayhem.

 

I love "Pet Semetary!" Just watched it a few weeks ago. Amazing film.

 

I absolutely LOVE "DRAG ME TO HELL!"

 

Nice picks Boots!

Not a fan of Burton's. He's got maybe 1 or 2 movies I find enjoyable and Nightmare isn't one of them. I fell asleep watching it the first time. The second time I tried I got bored.

 

Oh, I wouldn't say its horror. I'd say it's fantasy. But since it's Burton, it's dark automatically. Still wouldn't make it horror though IMHO.

I agree with you on overall Burton films. Overrated and luckily Burton did not direct "The Nightmare Before Christmas" Henry Selick did! But yes very Burtonesque. Did you like "Beetlejuice?"

 

I'm surprised you fell asleep during that movie. I am the opposite man. Could watching it over and over. The end makes me tear up every time.

 

Brilliant film.

 

I must be a lot older than you.

 

I saw it in the theater and fell in love within seconds.

 

The soundtrack is also a masterpiece.

 

I only go to Disneyland when the Jack Skellington Haunted Holiday Mansion is in operation.

 

EPIC!

- Suspiria

 

- Friday The 13th

 

- Suicide Club

 

- The Tenant

 

- Ju On

 

- Phantasm

Insert Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Shining and The Thing anywhere on here on any given day

 

PENDING:

 

I saw Black Christmas back in the 80s and loved it .. I just got the blu ray, so let's see how it holds up

You're only 3-4 years older than me. I forgot your exact age.

 

The only Burton flicks I enjoyed are Beetlejuice and Pee Wee's Big Adventure. I did enjoy Batman and Ed Scissorhands but they fell way down after multiple viewings.

 

People love his flicks and all that but how many decades of the same thing can people take?! More apparently. And the accompanying "bom-bom-bom-bom" Elfman soundtracks got tiresome even before I finished high school over 25 years ago.

In no particular order...

 

House of 10,000 Corpses (wicked good Rob Zombie film)

Freaks (Classic. The real deal)

Wait Until Dark (Real world sustained suspense)

Shadow of the Vampire (Malkovich, Dafoe, comic-horror genius)

Friday the 13th (better when Jason isn't the killer)

Scream (the first one is pretty smart)

At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul (Brazilian horror genius)

Psycho (Hitchcock's terror masterpiece)

The Omen (Best Revelations film ever)

Race with the Devil (70's chase-terror with Peter Fonda, Warren Oates, Loretta Swit)

Interesting picks goose! Yes! The first "Scream" is epic!

4) Insidious

 

 

 

This and The Descent are two highly enjoyable, modern horror flicks which both came as pleasant surprises

 

Agreed. The Descent was fantastic. I also loved both sequels to Insidious. Really great stuff for John Wan and his team. They are modern day horror masters. Dead Silence is also a very very cool flick. Very Phantasm influenced in certain stylistic ways.
