You know, if you were to list your favorite horror films what would they be? They'd don't have to be in any particular order.
But tell me what you like.
Here's mine, assorted randomly.
1. The Excorcism of Emily Rose
2. The Witch
3. Cabin in the Woods.
4. Jennifer's Body
5. The Others
"The Punished Nonpartisan" <- Extreme BDSM and humiliation story. Heavy on plot. Served on a plate of political drama with a side of domestic terror. Currently Free download.
Jocelyn the Wicked <- futanari, fantasy fan fic, and some tentacles that escaped the laboratory
This is a list of movies which I feel strongly fall into the "horror" genre, though I doubt all of them are universally agreed on as horror films.
1. Duel
2. Vertigo
3. Wait Until Dark
4. Night of the Living Dead (1969)
5. Trainspotting
Not sure these are precisely in order, but:
The Haunting (1963) - eerie adaptation of The Haunting of Hill House
Carnival of Souls (1962) - creepy movie that should be better known
Near Dark (1987) - one of the best vampire movies ever, even if I found the ending weak
Nosferatu (either version) - another classic vampire movie, originally a 1922 silent, remade in 1980 by Werner Herzog
Alien (1979) - possibly the best sf-horror ever made
Just 5? That's difficult
Sleepaway camp
Halloween
Candyman
Final girls ( its more comedy than horror though )
Slumber party massacre
in no order:
The Pit and the Pendulum
Bluebeard
Alien
Hound of the Baskervilles
Quatermass Experiment
It's an ever-changing list, but for now...
Crimson Peak
The Innocents 1961
The Changeling
Invasion of the Body Snatchers 1956
The Fog 1980
Jaws
Alien
The Cabin In The Woods
Super 8
Deep Rising
As far as pure horror, nothing will dethrone Jaws. Alien will always be number 2 and the other three might change up over time. They are slightly scary but full of humor which is always a good thing.
The same GQP demanding we move on from January 6th, 2021 is still doing audits of the November 3rd, 2020 election.
1. The Blob.
2. Deliverance.
3. Jaws.
4. Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
5. The video of my first marriage.
Interesting to see two mention Jaws. It is probably my favorite (or second favorite depending on mood) Spielberg movie. However, I have never really seen it as horror. It's a monster movie thriller more in the vein of King Kong or Godzilla, with the focus squarely on the three men, esp. Sheriff Brody, and their struggle with the "monster" (and, ultimately, nature as man v. nature is the dominant theme in a lot of monster movies). It has its horrific moments and some very well done suspense, but that just gets it to "thriller" in my book. Not sure it really works as horror for me.
