Much love for Hammer's list. Monster movies ftw. Sculpts is good too.

...opinion may be a taaaad biased as those are the only two lists with a werewolf film. C'mon guys

-

My list (originals only)

1. The Howling
2. Psycho
3. Halloween
4. Friday 13th
5. American Werewolf in London
6. Hellraiser
7. Jaws
8. Hills Have Eyes
9. Poltergeist
10. Exorcist
11. Scream
12. House on Haunted Hill
13. Frankenstein
14. Dracula
15. Wolf Man

I want to add so many more, but these are my favorite classics and if they don't get you into horror, nothing will.

cool lists

Love the movie!! Can't tell you how many times I have watched it!! The 2nd one was a MAJOR disappointment and it will never be added to my list.

I love all of Zombie's films accept for Lords of Salem, despised it. I am really curious how his new one turns out (31) and I hope its more like House of 1,000 Corpses.

damn somehow I forgot to put Hellraiser on my list

Yeah, once you think your list is solid, another title pops up and makes you wonder how you left it off.

You should be punished.

No particular order. Most are favorites from childhood.

A Nightmare on Elm Street.
Halloween 2-1981. That's right! 2, not 1.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Silver Bullet
The Fog-1980 version.
Fright Night-1985.
The Lost Boys.
Night of the Demons.
Night of the Creeps.
Friday the 13th.
Psycho.
The Funhouse.
Near Dark.
The Innocents-1961.
Frankenstein-1931.

Nice list. Funhouse did deliver the horror, didn't it? I saw that in the theatre. Same with Halloween 2, had some moments -- the opening, vehicle, hospital parking lot to Meyers busting through the glass door. Carpenter (co-writer) was Part 2 and done.

I debated putting Silver Bullet on my list... It would probably be 16 if I extended it. Along with a few sequels like Hellraiser and Friday the 13th, 2 and 3. And Halloween 2 and 4. I really wanted to put The Howling IV on my list as it's my favorite of any sequel, but I had at least the first Howling listed so figured it was good enough.

...maybe I should just make another list just for sequels. ::big grin::

Brilliant choices all around, guys. Without exception, each list included at least one title that made me wish I had included it on mine. Pumpkinhead? Night of The Demons? The Howling, Funhouse and Martin?? How could I forget?

I've done a quick calculation and it looks like we have an unofficial HDC MUST HAVE 15 films collection.

First of all, there were thirteen of us who contributed a list, myself included. Of the movies we've mentioned, here's the top fifteen. The number next to the title is the number of lists the movie appeared on.

Halloween - 9
Psycho - 7
Texas Chainsaw Massacre - 7
The Exorcist - 6
Night of the Living Dead - 6
Jaws - 6
A Nightmare On Elm Street - 6
Evil Dead - 5
The Thing - 5
Friday the 13th - 5
Frankenstein - 4
The Shining - 4
Alien - 4
The Haunting - 4
Poltergeist - 4

There are a few that are right on the cusp and I'm guessing if we get more posts, this list will definitely change, but for right now...man, we sure have great taste in horror films!!

Yes, I loveeeee Funhouse. ::love::

Kinda jelly you got to see it in the theatre.

As much as I love Halloween, IDK, Halloween 2's atmosphere was always more scary for me, personally. The elevator scene always gets to me, even though I know what's going to happen already.

I had to take An American Werewolf in London off my list, just to fit Silver Bullet in! Maybe this list should have been 50 horror movies that must be in your collection. Then again where's the fun in that? ::smile::

Nice, Repo! Interesting to see HDC's movies of choice listed out and tallied up. I certainly wouldn't take the time to do it. ^^;

I dunno, man, still might be a challenge. ::big grin::

It's always difficult to make best or must have lists. It's personal opinion versus what people feel are classic horror movies that are great. But many times I won't find myself always watching those movies that others think are great. Something like The Shining although very good wouldn't be in my 15. Also I would cheat a bit for series like this:

1. Halloween 1 & 2 (Originals), 3, & H20 - Even though I'm not crazy about Part 2, I can live with it and like some elements enough to own it. Same goes for H20 which I would add just because of Jamie Lee.

2. Alien & Aliens - The original is more horror but you really can't have the original and skip the sequel which is just as good.

3. Night of the Living Dead (Original and 1990) - Both are classics.

4. Friday the 13th Part 2, 6, 7 (maybe), 8, Jason X, & Freddy vs. Jason - I really hate that there isn't a classic Friday the 13th. Something comparable to Halloween. With the Friday the 13th videogame Kickstarter people are coming out talking about Jason and how much fun the game will be. But it's like people still don't realize that none of the Friday the 13th movies are on the level with Halloween or the original Nightmare on Elm Street. They are far from it to me which is a shame and this is coming from a Friday the 13th fan.

5. Nightmare on Elm Street (Original) & Part 4 - The original is a classic scary horror movie. And I love the 80s feel of Part 4.

6. The Ring (Original & Remake) - Both of these are very moody horror movies. I'm not sure which I prefer.

The rest I would have to think and I would probably go over 15. I'm already over if you don't count the above list as a group.

Friday the 13th never held my interest so I can understand what you mean. I haven't tried to rewatch since I was a kid. Most of my horror interests are still the same, except for knowing about/enjoying more of the 'bizarre' type of horror films. Maybe I shall rewatch it and see what I think...

I'm curious what you think about them if and when you watch them. They'll be like new movies since you haven't seen them in a while. Did you see the remake? A lot of people like that one. It's not one of my favorites at all.

No, I doubt I will. Shrug. Let's see what I think after watching Friday the 13th again.

That's one I need to rewatch. I actually saw the remake before the originals. I've rewatched the originals (parts 1, 2, and 3) multiple times while the remake only once. It has Jared Padalecki in it so at least it'll be worth watching to see him again.

There is no task too tedious, Roi, if it allows me to avoid the work I'm being paid to do. ::big grin::

So much truth there.

Amen to that ::big grin::
Often times at work I end up getting paid to wait. We're supposed to tidy up the lobby when that happens, but I find my time better spent drawing monsters. Even bought some colored pencils to keep in my jeep. ::smile::

I intend on watching the Killer Cut of the remake one day. But I heard it doesn't make the movie better. I thought it was going to be good originally because the Supernatural guy is in it. I guess he wasn't involved with the script but I still thought he should have said something about the retarded ending to the movie.

If you watch Supernatural and know how crazy stupid it's gotten, you'd probably see the remake's ending coming. He either has no influence over the script or has no idea how to fix it.

I don't know 15, but know one from best - SPLICE (2009) - excellent film

I had an episode from last season on DVR. I just watched it a few weeks ago. I think I posted a review. Maybe I didn't. It was so bad. The show is not even the same from when it started. Like I've said before here, people who've never seen the show should watch from the beginning and stop around season 5 I think. Where they fight the Devil. That's when the creator stopped as well.

Supernatural was supposed to originally stop at after 5 seasons, but the fans threw such a bitch fit and wanted more, that they caved and gave them what they wanted. I guess they should've specified they wanted more show with the same style it always had and not this hammy redundant bullshit it turned into. I tried to stay with it for a while, but I gave up after season... 7 I think it was... that or 8. Either way I stuck around too long. I still have the first couple seasons on DVD and will forever appreciate their greatness. It's just sad to see what it has become today. Talk about kicking a dead horse.

Agreed. They should have ended it a long time ago. But, I just can't seem to stop watching. Need my Sam and Dean fix.

Sadly, I am in the same boat you are ::embarrassment:: I don't know why I can't stop ::confused::::confused::

Because Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki are just too damn adorable! ::stick out tongue::

The guy that plays Crowley is pretty hot, too ::love::

Lol, I was a Dean fangirl when I started. Then season 4 came around and I quickly found a new liking to Castiel. It was the shit they did with his character that finally made me quit. I got sick to fucking death of how they keep abusing the poor guy. ::sad::

Strayed from the topic a bit, maybe? ::big grin::

::love:: you guys!

Just a little bit of a different list than the norm more focused on indie/low budget...but still films that should be in a horor collection

I can't' believe you added The Werewolf. That is a really underrated wolfie flick. It's great to know there's another fan out there.

I appreciate a lot of unloved things, especially when it comes to werewolves. ::smile::
I tried to make my wolf list a mix of my favorites, horror fan favorites, and movies that had an important impact to the genre.

No love for Werewolf of London?

Gimmie a break it's hard to narrow it down to just fifteen! ::big grin::
