Favorite horror movies?
2 months ago
I watch all horror movies from amazing, to absolutely horrible and not in a good way.
What are your favorites, tell me and be judged.

Gremlins are fun too, Sphere (1998), The Ninth Gate, From Dusk till Dawn, Mimic, Army of Darkness. Cabin in the Woods is great.
Sometimes 's difficult to tell if it counts as horror or not. Could likely add more, 's difficult to remember all the stuff one watched throughout the years.
There are other classics like The Thing or The Blob. We watched Hellraiser as well. Pet Cemetary and Children of the Corn honestly creeped me out.
Langoliers I remember was fun (to me at least). Just had to google around to find a specific movie. It is called "Phantoms" from 1998.
Jokes aside it's okay to like it. I just didn't
Most of the "run and hide" games aren't really scary to me, or just good, because it's banking to much on adrenaline and less on setting and horror.
The story, in my opinion, tried to be clever and I recall actually being on stream and stating the twist about half way through. I just feel like there wasn't a lot there.
But again this isn't me saying others cant enjoy it, it's just I never understood the praise it got.
I feel the same way about Amnesia though so take it with a grain of salt.
Tremors and Gremlins are more funny than scary, and I enjoyed them. Does the Blade movies from the pre-Marvel/Disney takeover also count as horror movies? Or are they more superhero movies than anything?
I love classics like The Shining, The Exorcist, Hellraiser, An American Werewolf in London, Nightmare on Elm Street 1-3, 5 and 7, both the original and remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Ghostwatch was super well done
The 1979 theatrical cut. The so-called Director's cut is... suboptimal. There are two scenes in it I do like that aren't in the original cut.
Maybe someone should make a blend from the best bits of both...
Otherwise, uh, insert A24 spooky film here.
The theatrical reason had those cut.
However, the DC is not an "extended" version of the film, as a lot of that version has scenes shortened quite literally "because I felt it was too slow", proving that Ridley doesn't even understand what the hell is good about his own film lmao.
Still; Within a vacuum, both film versions are great, it's just that seeing both side to side is a bit jarring to me.
There are quite a few I can't think of but what my just-woke-up-brain can spit out is Alien (the first film) and 1408 (has it's weak spots but damn did it just draw me in and keep a stranglehold on my attention... so tense)
Honorable mention, favorite horror media is a podcast called The Magnus Archives. Very good!
I saw 1408 in theaters, during a certain scene that was suppose to be highly emotional I started laughing and couldn't stop.
Still enjoyed the movie
Also, some other folks here mentioned The Thing (the 80s version) and Event Horizon which I feel are absolute classics, the latter kind of a cult-classic.
I feel like Videodrome is a good visceral horror with some pretty contemporary commentary embedded in it. Not my thing, but damn is it good.
Nosferatu as well. The new one i mean.
Ju-On is a good Japanese horror film.
The Exorcist a total classic.
Hellraiser too. The very 1st one.
These are ones I love. Now judge me x3
The only thing I judge thee for is Ju-On I just could get into that one.
I've been declared "Good Taste"
Maybe x3
Saw it as a kid and loved it. Need more good space horror
