Guess I’ll do this now to get this all over with. Enjoy the last  ten of my list. While I know some of you may complain like, why is this and that film not on the list, you may find it weird that I leave out some classics, but these films are “my” opinions. My lists will not be the same as every other top horror film lists you see in other film sites online, these are my opinions alone.

The rest of my top twenty here:

11. Rob Zombie’s “Halloween”

I’ve had worries that this film was going to suck. I’m like, oh no, Rob Zombie is going to ruin a great classic. But when I actually went out and saw it in theater, I FUCKING LOVED IT!!!! Zombie didn’t dissapoint at all, I loved the film all the way through. I’m now starting to watch this version on Halloween night a lot.

12. Stephen King’s “Carrie”

There’s a lot of Stephen King adapted films out there, but out of all the ones out there, I find “Carrie” to be an incredible film. Sissy Spacek’s role in this is very haunting and sends chills. Brian Depalma is a fine film maker too.

13. Freddy vs. Jason

I don’t think this is much of a horror film, it’s actually a mix between comedy and horror. There’s a lot of laughs in this. A fun flick. I really enjoyed this film and I hope a sequel is on the way.

14. Dead Silence

Forget the “Saw” series. The James Wan directed “Dead Silence” is even better, in my opinion. A film about a man who is solving a murder mystery who ever killed his wife, it ends up being linked to the ghost of a murdered ventriloquist. Sssshhhh…the ventriloquist dummies found in an old house seems to be alive and moving.

15. The Omen

The original version of “The Omen” starring Gregory Peck has always been one of my favorite horror films. The films a classic.

16. The Others

Another horror film with no blood and no murder, that is actually creepy. A film that stars Nicole Kidman. The film is shot low budget, the pacing is kind of slow but the film is real short, a little over an hour long, give it a rent and check it out. The film has a surprise ending that’ll get your head spinning.

17. The Hills Have Eyes remake

This film blew my mind. It’s pretty much a mix of action, horror and a gore fest all at once. It tells a story about a family going on vacation, they get lost, and now they are being stalked by strange evil people. This film is great.

18. A Nightmare on Elm St. – all of the series

I’m a big fan of Freddy. I not only love the first one, I love the rest of the Nightmare on Elm St. series as well. Freddy rules.

19. The Mothman Prophecies

A film that stars Richard Gere which is in my opinion one of the best films he’s ever starred in. It’s more of a thriller and horror type of film but still scary and kind of creepy. A great film to watch on Halloween night. I would reccomend this one.

20. Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers

I’m a fan of the Sleepaway Camp series. I always found the 2nd one to be the best one. Since the horror film industry is trying to reboot all the iconic horror films lately, I think the Sleepaway Camp series deserves a reboot too. I think it would be successful if they brought Angela Baker back played by a different actress of today. Hollywood should go for it.

It is now October already and Halloween night is just around the corner! They can be horror films from the past and even today’s horror films. These are the ones that I think that are the absolute best, a horror movie with perfection, with a small explanation under the title in italics, I’ll start off with the first ten.

On Halloween night, if you’re looking for some flicks to rent at your local video stores, check out these. I’m sure you’ve already seen some of them many times before though.

My Top Ten in order here:

1. Halloween (Carpenter version)

Simply a classic film. Best horror film ever made in my opinion nothing tops this. This is one of those films that you never get tired of watching and it is kind of scary everytime you see it too. I watch this every year on Halloween night.

2. The Exorcist

This film is amazing. I watch this one on Halloween night a lot too.

3. Night of the Living Dead (original Romero version)

Obviously the best zombie flick of the Romero Living Dead series. Definitely a perfect film to watch with all the lights off.

4. Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn

This is my favorite of the entire Evil Dead series. It has humor, gore and scary parts mixed into one. A perfect Halloween flick.

5. The Ring

A newer film, but this film is fantastic. I hated the Ring II, but the first one was very well made. The first one was actually creepy and scary as hell. There’s no gore and no murder in this film, that’s what a true horror movie is supposed to be.

6. Frailty

Bill Paxton wrote, directed and starred the leading role in. This film is dark and evil, about a couple kids living their life not realizing what their dad really was, a serial killer. I’d reccomend you see this one.

7. Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake

I love the remake more than the Tobe Hooper original, sorry. I find the remake to be much more scarier and more entertaining. This film is great!

8. Hellraiser

This is such a great movie, Hellbound rules. A character created by it’s own Clive Barker.

9. Hellbound: Hellraiser II

The sequel to Hellraiser is really great too. The first couple of Hellraiser movies were real good, but everything past IV are crap. The Hellraiser movies are screwed. No wonder they are planning a reboot now.

10. Wolf Creek

Simply one of the best new teen slasher flicks in a long long long time. I was really surprised by this film. I thought it would be no different than other teen slashers, but I was wrong, this one was different. Some of the scenes are actually disturbing and shocking. Another serial killer flick that is reccomended to see.

I’ll finish the other ten in the next week or so.
