Welcome to Prime Time, B*tch! The Official Top Ten Horror Movie List Voting Thread

[kp404]

By now you know the rules:

1)You have until October 20th to post your top horror movies of all time. Any movie you put on your list will be counted as horror. If you do not know what horror is or you are confused about whether to put a movie on there on not, here is a great thread to help you think about it:

http://www.thecoli.com/threads/so-w...ovie-as-horror-lets-debate-and-define.251351/

2)You have 20 days to post, debate, change your list, whatever. Be precise and number correctly. I will only count the posts that have numbered their lists ONLY. The final list with all the tallied voted will go up on October 25th. Let's debate and discuss as we posts lists. Let's keep this thread exciting!

3)Even though you have a top 10, we will also have an honorable mention section. You will choose 5 titles that did not make your list that you really wanted to include but did not have space. If you want, include why they did not make your list or why you think they are top 10 worthy. This will help those who want to discover more horror movies learn more and add more discussion.

I will start the thread with my list. These 10 are my undeniable masterpieces and I believe them to be the SCARIEST horror movies of all time. I love comedy-horror, but the true essence of horror for me is that it leaves me genuinely disturbed and that I have no control over the horror; it is both internal and external. These are films that haunt me to this day after seeing some of them a decade ago:

1)The Shining (1980)
2)The Exorcist (1973)
3)The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
4)The Beyond (1981)
5)Zombie (Zombi Flesh Eaters) (1979)
6)Psycho (1960)
7)John Carpenter's The Thing (1982)
8)John Carpenter's Halloween (1978)
9)Repulsion (1965)
10)Suspiria (1977)

HONORABLE MENTION:
1)Hellraiser (1987): I really really wanted this to be in the top 10, and I may still add it later after watching it again. it really is a masterpiece of originality and horror.
2)Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)-one of the best updates ever made in horror
3)Night of the Hunter (1955)-One of the top 10 movie villains of all time. This movie will never leave you.
4)Requiem for a Dream (2000)-Scariest film of all time to me for many reasons, and it was filmed like a horror movie
5)A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)-Craven's best and a truly terrifying horror icon in this film.

HAPPY VOTING :oJdidit:

Requiem for a Dream is horror

In my definition it is...even Aronfosky said he filmed it to be a horror movie style...the visual cinematography is very horror-style....and if you saw the movie, and grew up around drugs like I did, I don't know how its not horror. Its the most realistic depiction of drug addiction I've seen outside of the Simon's The Corner....and its something I struggle seeing ever...its the scariest film ever imo.

I'll just use the movie club tag since we don't have one. Plus we can ask the mods to make this thread a feature for October on the home page

If you don't understand why Requiem for a Dream isn't horror to some, then that's on you. its pretty obvious if you watched it why Aronofsky shot it like that.

[MartyMcFly]

These will all be in gif form. These are a list of what I feel are the scariest movies of all time as subjective as that is so they are the movies that I feel are the best made and have affected ME the most. I'm not looking to make a list that will be on every horror geeks list (although it will be similar) I gotta talk about stuff that has freaked me out

1.

Halloween

2.

The Thing

3.

Nightmare on Elm St

4.

Jaws

5.

Psycho

6.

Paranormal Activity

7.

Suspira

8.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre

9.

The Haunting

10.

Scream

Honorable mentions:

1. Phantasm. Just an awesome flick that is creepy, scary, and fun.

2. Night of The Hunter. Very creepy, awesome villain. The film feels like a nightmare.

3. The Conjuring. The newest movie on my list but it earns it. There is rarely a moment of let up in that movie and everything is really really well done.

4. Blair Witch Project. Will never forget the feeling I got when I first saw that movie and how it stays with you months or years after seeing it. So simple yet so effective.

5. Se7en. I know I know, is it a thriller or is it a horror? I feel like it's a horror so it makes the cut.

Forgot about Jaws

Paranormal Activity is GOAT status

Forgot about Jaws

Paranormal Activity is GOAT status

It is to me breh. I prefer less is more in my horror movies and the things that scare me are: Things that could actually happen or things that I can't explain. The demon shyt, possession, all of that? Can't explain it. This entity has just taken over your house or someone you love and you are absolutely helpless to stop it. Plus it is a top 10 theater experience in my lifetime. It was like walking through a haunted house with 100 or so people and whenever the scary scenes would come, the theater would turn the air condition on so the movie sent chills up my back...literally. Oh and that night when I got home, the movie stayed with me breh. I woke up in the middle of the night and saw my basement door open and the lights on..freaked me the fukk out. Turns out it was my mom


And I was really torn on that 10 spot. While I respect the Exorcist a whole lot, it's never scared me. I look at it more as a movie about a guy having a crisis of faith and having his faith be reaffirmed. I may change it before the 20th

Yea it was def a top 10 experience on first viewing, but the replay value is minimal. I'll admit since watching it I now curl up in my blanket at night to prevent ghosts from moving it around and I watch my bedroom door to make sure it doesnt move. I was thinking of putting it in my top 10, but really part 2 and 3 have some similar good scares as well.
