Hands-down my favorite horror film of all time. Its so simple you wonder why nobody thought of doing it before this one came out.

Agnus Scrimm’s Tall Man is just as creepy today as he was in 1979. Weird poster too that has nothing to do with the film.

This film took what Halloween started and turned the gore factor up to 11. Most of the endless sequels are actually pretty good too.

John Landis’ film is a brilliant mixture of horror & comedy and it has one of the best special effects sequences ever put on film.

Possibly the scariest PG-rated film ever made. The sequels are pretty terrible. A lot of people would say the entire series is cursed.

Remembered for its completely shocking ending (NSFW) more than anything else. That’s a shame because it really is a pretty good film.  NOTE : You should really watch the film before spoiling the ending.

Freddy Krueger revitalized the slumping slasher genre and put New Line on the map in 1984. By far the scariest film of the long-running series.

Early tv trailers promised a film “way beyond the possibility of any rating”, and boy were they ever right! What a disgusting and fun film!

Hilarious! Put John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell in anything and I will check it out. Also contains the most genius cover of a GN’R song ever.

Arguably one of the most disturbing films ever made. It took a few years after it was made to actually be released because of the MPAA.

Clive Barker’s directorial debut is one messed up film. I used to be scared of the film’s coverbox on the shelf at the video store as a kid.

One of the last great all-practical effects films. A real fun remake with a cliff-hanger ending for a sequel that never was made.

Kids in horror films are usually creepy and nobody did creepier better than Miko Hughes in the 1980s. Great theme song from The Ramones too.

Horror FX legend Tom Savini directed this solid remake of the 1968 classic. The updated zombie effects still hold up 18 years later.

One of Wes Craven’s most under-rated films. A good mixture of horror and comedy. One of those films you have to watch if you catch it on tv.
