To get started - Here's my fave scary flicks. Start at the bottom and work back to the top. Good luck, kids!
Halloween – classic horror film. Nothing else comes close.
The Exorcist – right up there. Terrifyingly simple, and disturbingly complex.
Psycho – REAL terror. I just love the comparison of Hitchcock slicing through every other scary movie.
Alien – satisfyingly terrifying. My mind scared me the most.
Misery – REAL crazy scary. The first horror movie I can remember winning an acting award. LOVED it.
28 Days Later – great update. Terrifying realism – and dark end, too.
Friday the Thirteenth - best of the bad slasher films. Great end, too.
Carrie – Decent flick – but the ENDING KILLS!
The Shining – Still love it. Sorry, Mr. King. This one works.
The Silence of the Lambs – No question. Hopkins is amazing.
The Mist – One of the rare occasions when a film supersedes the book. LOVED this.
Pet Sematary – Just TRY to watch that scene without grabbing the back of your leg. Of course you can’t.
Scream (and sequels) – reinvented the modern horror flick.
Poltergeist – Never look at clowns the same way again. Ever.
The Birds – Great end to this film.
The Omen – Creepy kid killer.
Night of the Living Dead – I love it more as I get older. Love when it comes to a close.
Zombieland – Amazing Bill Murray cameo, and a damned fine Woody Harrelson flick.
American Werewolf in London – great special effects. Better story.
It – Okay. Stop before the last section. Christy ran all the way home after seeing a sewer. My brother Nightmare on Elm Street – before it became a punchline, this scared people.
reads it – and loves this story.
Jaws – Still spooky. Even as fake as it looks.
Candyman – He still makes Christy freak out.
1408 – WOW. Thanks, Mr. King
Serpent and the Rainbow – makes me remember high school. Loved it.
Saw – Okay. Corny, gross. But gets to me.
The Blair Witch Project – Still not a big fan – but I can appreciate the effort.
