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

[hex]

Great fukking list here...Shockwaves is very good breh.

I'm glad In the Mouth of Madness is getting love as its soooooooooooo underrated. The Brood is amazing as well. I'm surprised that Day of the Dead is that high though

I tried to mix obvious classics with personal choices. Because let's be real here, if we all put the usual classics this would be 11 pages of the same shyt with no discussion.

"Night Of The Living Dead" is better than "Day", but again, obvious choice. And I never liked the overt consumerism critique in "Dawn". "Day" struck the perfect balance between social commentary and horror.

"In The Mouth Of Madness" is the best Lovecraft movie even though it's obviously not his material. They nailed it better than any other movie that attempted to adapt his work.

As far as the horror anthology debate....in terms of straight up horror anthologies, you are correct. And obviously "Hood" took the ending from "Tales". Can't really hold that against "Hood" though, a couple of "Tales" stories were semi-bites of earlier material. "Wish You Were Here" is an obvious clone of "Monkey's Paw" (1902).

But the social commentary of "Hood" was bananas, and the only reason it's not ranked higher in history is because, let's be real, it's a "black movie" with a rap soundtrack.
"Invasion Of The Body Snatchers" is my GOAT horror movie though. The feeling of dread through out that movie is just

Which is what I was trying to do but I still think my list hit some of the same ol same ol shyt but it's nice to have some variety between stuff that is generally looked at as classics in the genre and stuff you personally love

I agree with all of this...

As a fellow Lovecraftian, how did you feel about Necronomicon: Book of the Dead? I feel like there was a real attempt to be faithful and the first story was genuinely excellent, but it fell apart after that...

I liked the final story about the cops and the alien tomb beneath the city but it seemed like they just took stories and added Lovecraft shyt to it.

HellRaiser 2 is harder to watch than part 1

some of its hard to stomach im still hesitant about that scene where the mental patient starts cutting himself with a razor on a mattress

I get what you're saying. I loved watching both of them. Might watch them this weekend..

That first story was the only one I remember reading in Lovecraft's stories...the rest like you said felt out of place

Yea, I was surprised that the rated R version didn't cut more of the gore...the uncut version is pretty violent, but the R rated version isn't much cleaner

What was the first one? I ain't seen that shyt since around '95.

That nikka really put a kids movie above all those classics.

I put Coraline and Paranorman above a lot of horror movies, and they damned sure are "kids" films. I might edit and throw Coraline in the honorable mentions, tbh. I rewatched that shyt three times and found something even more worthy after each viewing.
