Favorite Horror Movies.....

In honor of Halloween I just wanted to recommend my Top 10 Favorite Horror Movies. Scared yet? Did not think so........:)

10. The Mist: classic Stephen King, showing how people can loose it and follow a crazed zealot to even commit murder, a strange mist, and even stranger creatures. The ending is one of the harshest I've seen!

9. Scream: New take on the classic slasher flick with great suspense while poking fun at some of the classics of the drama.....

8. The Thing: John Carpenter at his best in this smart alien flick that is more about suspense and paranoia than special effects, set in the arctic wastelands.

7. The Shining: Jack Nicholson is fabulous as the father gone crazy and trying to kill his family at a resort hotel during the winter.

6. The Exorcist: Green Pea Soup vomit, demonic possession, and a girl violating herself with a cross screaming, "fuck me" to a priest.....does it get any crazier?

5. 28 Weeks Later: great new take on the zombie flick where it's no longer the slow moving, stupid zombies. These zombies are infected with the "rage" virus and go full out.

4. Saw: The first of the series really was a great suspense/mystery flick with all kinds of twist and turns and one of the greatest twist endings in recent memory.

3. the original Halloween: the consummate slasher flick in which the clinically insane Michael Myers breaks out of the insane asylum in order to kill his sister and terrorizes a whole town on Halloween night in plain, emotionless mask.

2.The Hill Have Eyes(the newer re-make): the first movie in a while to raise the hairs on the back of my neck. Craziest moment is when the shit starts to hit the fan all at once and you realize this movie is pulling no punches.

1. Aliens: not only is it my favorite sci-fi/horror flick it is my favorite movie of all time mixing suspense, terror, and action all rolled into one blockbuster movie. Favorite moment is when the Aliens come out of the wall for the first time and you realize the marines are screwed....Game Over Man, Game Over.

I watched one the other night with Keith that freaked me out. The Strangers. You would have laughed your butt off at me. :)
