Well, on second thought, maybe The Shining and Werewolf in London. Surprised Bloof didn’t pick that one.

Not big on Werewolf in London. Liked The Howling much better.

I wasn't that fond of Halloween 2. I enjoyed it. But as a kid I knew something about it wasn't as good as the original.

I'm going to watch all the sequels as I barely remember them. And probably settle on the first three Halloween movies. Although people keep saying that Halloween 4 is really good.

1. Night of the Living Dead (1968)

Another tough one. I love both movies. Sinister is one of the best modern horror movies. Night of the Living Dead a classic.

2. The Lost Boys (1987)

But I still haven't seen Black Christmas. I just saw the 2019 version and it was terrible. I reviewed it on HorrorDVDs October watching topic.

3. Suspiria (1977)

But I really need to see The Innocents as soon as possible.

4. Aliens (1986)

5. A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987)

You and me both. ::love:: I enjoyed Werewolf in London, and like David Naughton... but The Howling is a badass horror movie.

Halloween 2 wasn't as good as Halloween, no doubt, it has its low points (like the needle sequence), but it also has some high points (like the parking lot on to The Shape busting through the glass door sequence). Right off the bat, I loved the way it began the very second Halloween ended.

One of the problems with Halloween 3, is Halloween 2. If Halloween was going to be a successful halloween-themed film series, they wouldn't have made Halloween 2 as a part 2... that pretty much squashed the idea.

That would be a good battle. Ya know the Halloween 3 theme of the anceint god, is basically a precursor to the Cabin in the Woods theme. I'd have go with Dream Warriors, enjoyed it more.

Alien (1979)

Salems Lot (1979) (this would be a tie for me if it wasn’t for Salem’s Lots special effects, fright night’s are better over all, but the vampire teeth in Fright Night look too much like grits imo)

Jaws (1975)

The Thing (1982)

Predator (1987) (Another purely personal preference)
