Well into his career Dario Argento released this crazy film. A killer is out to collect people’s heads with one of the craziest weapons ever.

Good film that came out in the unfortunate time when nobody liked horror films. Writer Andrew Kevin Walker’s next script was SEVEN.

A solid remake of the Spanish hit [●REC]. The only major change was the reason for the outbreak, but that really didn’t matter much at all.

The first (and best) film based on the classic HBO series has a near-perfect mixture of comedy and gore. Even the Crypt Keeper is tolerable.

QT and Robert Rodriguez’s first team-up is this immensely enjoyable mash up of crime and horror – and they also made Clooney a movie star.

A psychiatrist interviewing a well-known serial killer finds out that the voices the killer hears may be more than just voices.

The 4th film in any series should never be this good. A really fun and inspired way to restart the Child’s Play series for a new generation.

A rare film that transcended the horror genre and became a must-see for non-horror fans. I haven’t watched it since 1999, it still holds up.

A well-made little film that uses lycanthropy as a metaphor for puberty. The 2 young female leads are very good in their first film.

Incredibly tense film about an asbestos cleaning crew working in an abandoned mental hospital. Don’t watch this one alone late at night…

Probably the first film based on a video game that I actually liked and one of the first films in the current zombie resurgence.

A difficult film to explain, but one that would be ruined by explaining too much. Angela Bettis turns in a star-making performance.

What started off as a really original concept for a film has be spoiled by the endless parade of uninspiried sequels.

A group of vacationing women run into some strange creatures while spelunking in the Appalachian Mountains. A truly scary movie.

Genre-bending film that takes place in a world where horror movies are real. Turns the tired slasher film into something new and fun.

A film that gets better each time I watch it. A terrific ensemble cast and creepy monsters. One of my favorite endings ever!
