Silly/Corny/Worst/Best Horror Flick(s) of all time?

OK, as you start gearing up and planning ordering, watching, your Halloween Horror Movie...

But I have found a list online of The Top 70 Vampire Movies Of All Time. Let me put it this way, I wouldn't put a lot of faith in this list since Eddie Murphy's "Vampire in Brooklyn" made the cut. But 1922 Nosferatu - was appropriate put at #1.

So what Silly/Corny/Worst/Best Horror Flick(s) of all time?

Too many to mention...Night of the living Dead, The Blob, Halloween 1, Nightmare on Elm St 1. I'm big Vampire fan; Bram Stokers Dracula (really like Gary Oldman, The lost boys, Interview with a Vampire (don't like Brad Pitt). I'm a big fan of Halloween (the holiday) in general.

Ellie, thanks for the scary clown pic....those totally freak me out, It.

I just got done watching a lame one.................Ring Around The Rosie - sucked for air!

Don't forget about Little Shop of Horrors - I know an oversized Venus Fly Trap that could say "FEED ME" would scare the bejesus outta me - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The Ring was a pretty good one - my friend dialed her land line # from her cell phone and got me with THAT one. She kept telling me to answer it and I kept telling her that it was HER house and I wasn't gonna.

And I LUUUUUUUUUUUV the Rocky Horror Picture Show

Ready to scare
10 great horror films for a Halloween movie marathon
By Bob Bloom -
Posted : November 05, 2007

The late, great Boris Karloff once said that the scariest moments are not on the screen but are the ones an audience imagines.

Today’s horror movies mostly fail to afford audiences the opportunity to use their imaginations, preferring to show everything. The audience’s reaction elicits shocks instead of shivers.

So, if you are planning a spooky Halloween film fest, here are some DVD titles that should provide some scares instead of causing your guests to lose their treats.

1 Halloween

(1978, Starz Home Entertainment) — Sequels and remakes pale in comparison with this horror original, directed by John Carpenter, whose singular score helps propel this fright fest. Michael Myers slays his family, then terrorizes townsfolk.
2 The Haunting

(1963, Warner Home Video) — Director Robert Wise creates an atmosphere of dread in this haunted house tale that features superb performances from Julie Harris and Claire Bloom.
3 Alien

(1979, Fox Home Entertainment) — A splendid blend of horror and science fiction as a group of miners responds to a cry for help and encounter horrors far from home. The sequence with the creature bursting through John Hurt’s chest remains one of the visceral moments in all of film.
4 Poltergeist

(1982, Warner Home Video) — They’re here! Evil spirits can even invade tranquil suburbia. Just stay out of the light when viewing.
5 The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

(1974, MPI) — The granddaddy of all slasher films is not as gross as most of its descendants. It’s not as bloody as you imagine, which is a credit to director Tobe Hooper, who based the film on a true story.
6 Horror of Dracula

(1958, Warner Home Video) — Christopher Lee’s introduction as the count is a jarring Gothic moment as he swoops down the castle steps like a bird of prey.
7 Psycho

(1960, Universal Studios Home Entertainment) — Alfred Hitchcock’s black comedy about the ultimate mama’s boy still makes you think twice about taking a shower. And Bernard Herrmann’s score still makes people jump and look over their shoulders.
8 The Innocents

(1961, Fox Home Entertainment) — A journey into madness, based on Henry James’ “The Turn of the Screw.” It’s frightening merely through suggestion.
9 Ju-On, otherwise known as the Japanese version of “The Grudge”

(2003, Lionsgate) — The film that helped popularize Japanese ghost stories for U.S. audiences still outshines its American remakes and rip-offs. Now’s a spooktacular time to check out the original.
10 Captain Kronos, Vampire Hunter

(1974, Paramount Home Entertainment) — One of the last great Hammer horror movies. The vampires in this one drain a victim’s youth instead of blood. The movie contains more atmosphere than usual for a Hammer release.
