Thanks for Sharing ....

-The Exorcist should be at the very top ... no other Horror movie is even close. ..it has long carried the title of the most scariest horror movie ever made.
and there's documents on what the impact and hysteria it created at the movie theaters - people fainting and needing to be carried out, ambulances called out
medical assistance needed.

- The Conjuring carries it's own stigma as the " new Exorcist " hysteria, but i get confused between what's haunted and what's demon possession.- and after the original , it
becomes fairly cartoonish and not as raw dark eery captivating as the original

You make a good point about "The Exorcist."

IMO there are some of the movies listed (from various posts) transcend the Halloween time of year and are great to see any time of the year.

Obviously many of the considered greatest movies in the genre fall into this category for me...

-"The Exorcist"
-"The Shining"
-"Alien"
-"Scream"
-"The Thing"
-1978's "Halloween"
-1979's "Dawn of the Dead"

Monster Squad? Also, American Werewolf in London is awesome, that movie freaked me out as a kid because of the “home invasion” nightmare scene

Great choices, for The Ring and The Grudge, gotta watch the original Asian versions.
Swedish Horror movie Let The Right One In is pretty good.

It is a classic that was equal to the great novel that inspired it. I doubt any other horror movie will ever unseat it from my #1 ranking.

I’ll watch anything that doesn’t involve clowns!

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Beetlejuice
Addams Family
The Witches (where people get turned into mice, because of course I'd watch that)
Hocus Pocus
Anything to do with werewolves

Silver Bullet?
The Howling?
Wolfen?
Wolf?
There Werewolf of London?
The Wolf Man?
Frankenstein meets the Wolf Man?
An American Werewolf in London?


I tried to stick with ones that revolved primarily around werewolves, not ones -with- them or comedies. There are so many more, but I was going with more of the classics.

I gotta watch a lot of those. Werewolf in London is a great movie along with Wolf Man, The Howling, American Werewolf in London, and Wolf.

1- American Werewolf in London

for the win...

for old and I mean real old
I watched Hound of the Baskervilles again

a good movie where fear is much more about superstition
and legend that it is actual danger.

Going to stay more modern

Conjuring 1 and 2...Third one really was not up to par with the first two.
Insidious movies 1, 2 and 4. Did not care for the third one.
Ready or Not...don't know why but I like this one.
The babysitter 1. Second one is ok but liked the first one better.
The Strangers 1 and 2 . Mindless but fun for the genre. Kind of liked the 2nd one better.
I Saw the Devil...not really a halloween type movie but I love it.
Guillermo Del Toro's movies Pan's Labyrinth. Devil's Backbone
Let the right one in
The Babadook
Terrifier
The loved Ones - not as many know of this Aussie film but it is pretty wild
Cold Fish crazy korean movie
Two Japanese films...Audition and Suicide Club

I really liked all the Hammer Films with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing and my favorite was the Scars of Dracula. I also dug the original Fright Night. Remake wasn't bad but not as good as the original. Chris Sarandon was a most excellent vampire. And for a creepy vampire, right out of Nosferatu, how about Salem's Lot? Not a bad vampiric creature in The Night Flier either.

I associate Halloween with slasher films or vampire films more than the sci-fi Alien and Predator type films.

But for films that really disturbed me and I had a hard time getting them out of my head can't beat The Exorcist, Hostel, Wrong Turn, Seven and Wolf Creek. So I guess they should be at the top of my Halloween movie list because that's what it's all about, scaring the bejeezus out of yourself.
