Halloween 1978, R)
Sometimes the simplest premises are the scariest. |
|
| 2 |
Halloween II 1981, R)
Not as good as the first, but it's still a great way to spend a fall evening. |
|
| 3 |
Halloween III - Season of the Witch 1982, R)
Enough has already been said about this one. |
|
| 4 |
Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers 1988, R)
|
|
| 5 |
Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers 1989, R)

Halloween H2O 1998, R)
|
|
| 8 |
Halloween - Resurrection 2002, R)
|
|
| 9 |
Halloween 2007, R)
The poster child for "missing the point." Awful. |
|
| 10 |
H2: Halloween II 2009, R)
Hey, it's a terrible Halloween film, but it's a personal guilty pleasure. With the emphasis on the guilty. |
|
| 11 |
A Nightmare on Elm Street 1984, R)
One of the most original and iconic slashers of all time. |
|
| 12 |
A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 - Freddy's Revenge 1985, R)
Not as bad as everyone says it is, but not good either. |
|
| 13 |
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 - Dream Warriors 1987, R)
A surprisingly good film, and an interesting direction to take the series. |
|
| 14 |
A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 - The Dream Master 1988, R)
|
|
| 15 |
A Nightmare on Elm Street 5 - The Dream Child 1989, R)
|
|
| 16 |
Freddy's Dead - The Final Nightmare 1991, R)
|
|
| 17 |
Wes Craven's New Nightmare 1994, R)
Takes the series in an interesting new direction. Flawed but fun. |
|
| 18 |
A Nightmare on Elm Street 2010, R)
Damn you, Michael Bay. Once again. However, I liked some visual elements of the film, but most of it I preferred in concept than in execution. |
|
| 19 |
Saw 2004, R)
Missed potential in many areas and a relatively poor performance by the usually excellent Cary Elwes, but overall, not a bad way to kill an evening. |
|
| 20 |
Saw II 2005, R)
A follow-up on par with the original. Doesn't mean it's great, but it's decent and has a pretty damn original premise. |
|
| 21 |
Saw III 2006, R)
The best of the Saw movies, a pretty damn good gorefest with a surprising amount of emotional depth...and it's all downhill from here. |
|
| 22 |
Saw IV 2007, R)
Pretty mediocre with very few memorable traps. A by-the-numbers torture porn flick. |
|
| 23 |
Saw V 2008, R)
It might be forgettable and slow-paced, and the blood and guts are better actors than the actors themselves, but this film's worst offence is that it is BORING. |
|
| 24 |
Saw VI 2009, R)
I suppose you could call it a return to form for the franchise, but its predecessor set the bar pretty low. Still, it is an improvement in almost every area. |
|
| 25 |
Saw 3D 2010, R)
Cary Elwes is great, but it's hardly a great way to end such an effing long franchise. |
|
| 26 |
Friday the 13th 1980, R)
I'm not in love with this film like everyone else, but overall it's a classic slasher. |
|
| 27 |
Friday the 13th Part 2 1981, R)
|
|
| 28 |
Friday the 13th Part 3 1982, R)

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974, R)
Disturbing, shocking and unsettling, this is one of those horror films you will NEVER forget. |
|
| 39 |
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 1986, R)
Takes the series in a different, humorous direction. |

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The Next Generation (The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre) 1994, R)

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003, R)
Well, it's the best of the Platinum Dunes remakes.... |
|
| 43 |
Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning 2006, R)
I suppose this is what you would get if TCM was another entry into the torture porn genre. |
|
| 44 |
The Evil Dead 1981, R)
A darkly comedic horror classic. Nearly flawless victory. |
|
| 45 |
Evil Dead 2 1987, R)
This, to me, is what horror is all about. |
|
| 46 |
Army of Darkness 1993, R)
Fun, over-the-top and a great capstone to the trilogy. |
|
| 47 |
Scream 1996, R)
It might be the hipster horror movie, but |
|
| 48 |
Scream 2 1997, R)
|
|
| 49 |
Scream 3 2000, R)
|
|
| 50 |

Paranormal Activity 2007, R)
|
|
| 66 |
Paranormal Activity 2 2010, R)
For different reasons, it's about as good as the first film. Creepier than part one but with less authenticity. |

Predators 2010, R)

Alien 1979, R)
Liked Aliens as well, but this truly captured the terror and claustrophobia of being trapped in the vacuum of space with something that is trying to kill you. |

Ginger Snaps 2000, R)
At one point, this was my favorite movie of all time. Hands down, the best werewolf movie ever made. |
|
| 104 |
Ginger Snaps 2 - Unleashed 2004, R)
Surprisingly good. Emily Perkins was a bit monotone but still believable, and it had a genuinely creepy atmosphere. Underrated. |
