    In honor of Halloween. Don't have to be the five BEST, just your favorites.

    Okay, I'll start:

    American Werewolf in London
    The Thing
    Evil Dead II
    Dawn of the Dead (original)
    Alien

    Just missing the cut:
    Dead Alive (if you haven't seen Peter Jackson's ultimate zombie movie, you should really check it out)
    Tremors
    Invasion of the Body Snatchers (original by Don Siegel)
    Cat People (original by Jacques Tourneur)
    Island of Lost Souls
    Re-Animator
    Night of the Living Dead
    And a couple of slightly more obscure recent ones: the movie that was called The Revenant a couple of years before the DiCaprio one, plus Housebound

    Don't know if all of these qualify, but I tend to prefer more modern movies:

    Get Out
    The Conjuring
    Scream
    It Follows
    The Thing

    I want to see Get Out. It Follows was good, but there are so many problems with the premise (as Tarantino pointed out) that you have to force yourself not to think about it.

    Okay, so get on a plane to Australia, go out to the outback, fuck someone, and come home. Safe for good!

    Also: how come sometimes it looks like someone you know, and sometimes it's just some random naked guy on the roof?

    Also: who would ever work out how it works? You'd just think you were being followed but you wouldn't know why.

    Ok. Let's test this out. I'm willing to fuck someone being followed. Just have them send nudes first.

    Forgot Dog Soldiers. It fucking rocks - watch the whole thing now. (I've never watched Neil Marshall's The Descent, in part because I'm a claustrophobic wuss, but Dog Soldiers showed that he was a talent to watch.)

    Ooh, and everyone's seen [REC], right? Because that's most people's vote for scariest zombie-fest. (They made a crappy Hollywood remake called "Quarantine".)

    Most horrifying thing about that is the director.

    Jeepers Creepers 3 is going to be AWK-WARD in the post-Weinstein climate. Even Weinstein wasn't a pedophile.

    Original or Werner Herzog remake? Also, have you seen Shadow of the Vampire?

    Tremors isn't a horror movie

    I think the guys eaten by graboids would disagree. What are your criteria? Got to be R-rated at least?

    Don't let Herzog hear you call it a remake. Herzogs take is cinenamtically beautifully fucking eerie and I love it. But, the original will always be my favorite.

    Tremors is a comedy adventure pretending to be a horror movie. Yes, I think a true horror film ought be rated R. If its PG13 there is no way it can be scary.

    Horror is my favorite genre of film, yet there are few that are actually scary.
