In honor of Halloween, I have assembled two lists. One holds a ranking of the ten best slashers of all time. While these characters were awesome, that does not necessarily mean that any of their respective movies were any good. So my other list looks solely at the movies, and which come in tops. The list of the best slashers will be published tomorrow (Saturday) on hometownstation.com. Today though, we'll take a stab (please pardon the pun I know it's bad) at identifying the ten best horrors movies...ever.
1. The Obama Inauguration.
I haven’t seen it but I hear
“This is it” with Michael Jackson is pretty bad.
1. Inconvenient Truth
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
1. Michelle Does Washington.
2. Michelle Does London.
3.. Michelle Does Martha’s Vineyard.
4. Michelle Does New York.
#1. Alien
The mining ore tanker Nostromo was like a giant haunted house. Fantastic movie directed by Ridley Scott.
I NEVER tire of:
The Shining
An American Werewolf in London
Psycho (original!) or
Alien (the first one)
Alien would probably be top of my list too...but The Shining was just plain creepy, too.
My 21 year old saw The Descent and he said it was really scary. The Ring (which I’ve also never seen) was supposed to be a very disturbing movie too.
Horrible list. If you’re going to make a list of top horror movies, make sure they’re all horror movies. That’s not a difficult rule to follow. And “Misery” (the movie) sucked.
And it just keeps getting funnier, every single time I see it.
I don’t normally care for scarey movies, but I watched ‘The Ring’ with my teen boys when it came out on DVD and we all really liked it. A few gross parts, but you can close your eyes, just like I do! It’s pretty standard horoor, but it’s beautifully filmed.
I also like ‘Signs’ very much. I’ve watched that a numner of times, though I wouldn’t classify that as ‘horror.’
And I can’t take two minutes of ‘Blair Witch Project’ without wishing them all dead, immediately, LOL!
Even Horizon is one of the best horror/scifi movies I have seen. It is more of a “mess with your mind” movie. Great flick.
Plan 9 From Outer Space.
Jeeze! Who typed that? LOL! I must be channeling someone with lopped off fingers from ‘Saw’ or something!
Alien I can watch again and again and get the creeps. The Ring is good once or twice or even three times but once you know the ending it's kind of anti-climatic.
Wait! I’m changing my pick. I forgot all about ‘Basket Case.’ (1982) Husband and I busted a gut over that one. If I’m carrying a basket he still asks, “What’s in the basket?”

(Warning! A little gore in the movie trailer.)
Never saw the shining but
1-Exorcist
2-Alien
3-Psycho (maybe psycho II)
Murnau’s Nosferatu is a creeporama for the ages. As per usual silent movies get eliminated from consideration.
