THE SEVEN

OK, a little "not Halloween" fun. Let's say that March 31st is Spooky Day. And you were going to recommend the seven best Horror films of all time, to watch each day leading up to Spooky Day, which seven films would they be?

That's a really good list, Sculpt. Pretty tough task, I'll have to think about it.

Good list. Alien is particularly strong pick. It's tough for me not to list Alien and Evil Dead II (II for me). In many ways they're better picks than TCM and Frank.

Oh man - I'm struggling with the difference between BEST and FAVORITE - I have quite a few favorite horror movies that I wouldn't necessarily consider the best of all time... Hmmmmmmm - Off the top of my head the only way I can really separate out BEST is to give each day a theme...

Day 1 - Vampires: Nosferatu - Definitely a movie that every horror viewer should see at some point. I think it's so important for the genre.
Day 2 - Hitchcock: Psycho (Birds is a runner up)
Day 3 - Zombies: Night of the Living Dead (Zombie II is a runner up)
Day 4 - Demonic Possession: The Exorcist
Day 5 - Slashers: Halloween (Black Christmas is a runner up)
Day 6 - Haunted House/Monsters: Alien
Day 7 - Found Footage/Witch Craft: Blair Witch Project


That was really difficult - If I were going with Movies I Would Watch In The Next Seven Days, it would probably look like this - A mix of favorites/movies that I haven't seen in a while.

Cabin in the Woods (because this movie is infinitely rewatchable for me)
Inside (because it's been a LONG TIME since I've seen it)
The Descent (favorite of mine)
Evil Dead II (because, well, Evil Dead II)
Blair Witch Project (favorite)
Grave Encounters (because I've been wanting to rewatch it lately)
Ringu (because it's been a while and it's a damn good movie)
