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.
Thanks. (Sob!)
Belive me the so called "freaks" were to good folks in that movie.
you may be on to something there.
Yes: the true ‘freaks’ in the film are the two examples of male and female standards: the beautuful woman and the masculine, strong man.
Here’s to you, Schlitze - wherever you are!
Absolutely.
Stay away from Ouija boards!
Ed and Lorraine Warren wrote a book called “The Demonologist”
based on experiences they had while investigating possession/poltergeist type cases.
The basic thesis being you have to do something to invite them in - but what you do can in alot of cases be something most people woud think was almost totally innocent.
Another part of it that was super creepy was the number of times it’s regular objects - some of the creepiest being plain old childrens dolls and stuffed animals...
shiver....
Oh, Ralph! How COULD you? LOL!
I play ‘Blair Witch’ with my dogs and a flashlight when we go for our walk in the dark before bedtime. (We’re on our land, not out in the road, so don’t worry!)
They totally freak when I put that flashlight under my chin and start chanting their names, LOL!
It’s not really a horror movie, but “The Ghost and the Darkness” starring Mike Douglas and Val Kilmer is a great tension-filled flick.
My monsignor knew the priest in that case.
Zoykes! I might need to watch that one during the day, LOL!
Thank goodness! I thought I might be the only one who ever saw that movie, LOL!
We accept you, we accept you.
Gobble Gooble, Gobble Gooble
One of us. One of us.
I’ll add it to my list. :)
Your poor dogs! And the flashlight is my favorite scene. I'm sure the dogs are just riveted! I have the movie, maybe I'll watch it tonight. LOL!
1. The Exorcist
2. Ju-On The Grudge - the original Japanese version of The Grudge, not the awful Sarah Michelle Geller flick
3. The Shining
4. The Ring tied with Ringu, the original Japanese version of The Ring
I’m a big Asian horror movie fan, for over a decade they’ve been putting out some fantastic horror movies. Anyone who enjoys the genre should check out horror coming out of Japan, Korea and Thailand.
Dead on correct!
Ralph! Walk the dogs for me if I don't make it back alive!
“Belial” was the brother’s name I believe. Been awhile since I brought that one out! LOL
10. Carnival of Souls (an oldie but a goody)
9. The Hills Have Eyes (the original)
8. The Fly (Jeff Goldblum)
7. Dawn of the Dead (2007 remake)
6. Last House On The Left
5 Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore
4 Dawn Of The Dead (the original)
3 Texas Chain Saw Massacre (the original)
2.The Exorcist
1.Night Of The Living Dead (The original.)
Sleep well.
