You're not saying that spoofs can't be good films, are you?

No, I'm just saying Scream isn't a good spoof movie

Re: Favorite Horror Film

I don't have a single favorite, but at the moment it's this one:

I agree. But that's because it's not a spoof.

And yet you didn't even have it on your 60s list. For shame.

Re: Favorite Horror Film

Not a Horror fan, but at the moment it's The Thing.

Re: Favorite Horror Film

Forgot about Nosferatu.

Fantabulous list, Cap.

Re: Favorite Horror Film

Psycho (1960) is most horror movie i think.

Re: Favorite Horror Film

The first Halloween with Jamie Lee Curtis.Loved the tingling music.

Looks like I'll have to take a look at the Devil's Rejects though.

Re: Favorite Horror Film

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Bram Stoker's Dracula

American Werewolf in London

Horror isn't exactly my forte, but I'm kind of a purist, I guess, when it comes to the classical monsters, night frights and so on ...

Re: Favorite Horror Film

The Harvest
Awaiting
Wolf Town
Beneath

I think i would have to say that Alien is my favorite horror movie of all time. It has suspense, so much tension, isolation, creepiness, and science fiction rolled into one movie.

After that I would have to say The Shining, and Texas chainsaw massacre. :)

Alien (1979)

http://33.media.tumblr.com/b34ccbe65...ew0zo1_500.gif

Creepy and well acted.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0n4jMasOWQ...s-download.gif

The last 30 minutes.

The Thing (1982)

http://i.imgur.com/d1AE6ZE.gif

Special effects yo.

Halloween (1978)

http://30.media.tumblr.com/49fb2f6bc...1o6_r1_400.gif

Cinematography and music.

It Follows (2015)

http://38.media.tumblr.com/304ef8e2a...yehpo3_500.gif

Cinematography and music. Odd that's a thing again. Those 360 pans are neato.

Psycho (1960)

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lk...zkkho1_500.gif

Norman Bates yo.

The Fly (1986)

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7...df0go1_500.gif

Special effects. Deja vu I know.
