i think i'd just hold up 10 of my fav movies and say ... look here noob... pick 5 and we'll watch them

Halloween 1
Nightmare 1
The Ring
Alien
The Exorcist

house of 1000 corpses
evil dead 1
dawn of the dead
hellraiser
nightmare on elm street 4

Yeah that sounds like something I would do.

Ginger Snaps 1 & 2
Romeros Dead Trilogy
Hellraiser
Suspiria
Dog Soldiers

More then five movies but thats how i group 'em

Ugg...I cant believe I didnt put Psycho and The Shing on my list!!!

My real horror list follows:

Psycho
Nightmare on Elm Street
The Shining
The Exorcist
House on Haunted Hill(Remake)

Even though I think Psycho is extremly overrated, it was a decent movie

glad to see house on haunted hill remake on someones list love that movie

lucky enough to find the poster for it in a movie theaters attic one day

Glad to see Im not the only one! I put it there because the rest of the movies are from no later than the late 80's. I thought there needed to be an eexample of very modern horror, and that is one of the best.

i agree

This was a good thread thats been idle for about 2 years now so I figured it could use a bump. We've got plenty of new people here since this was posted so there may be some fresh viewpoints.

Well, if I wanted to show what Horror is truly capable of....

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Maniac
Henry:Portrait of a Serial Killer
Cannibal Holocaust
House by the Cemetery

The Haunting
Psycho
Halloween
Evil Dead
Kairo

Where was I when this thread came out? Why didn't I post?

Well, here's my stellar moment.

1. A Nightmare on Elm Street (an agreement among many)
2. The Exorcist (Ditto)
3. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre- original (Ditto, again)
4. 13 Ghosts (original- because it has Margaret Hamilton:D )
5. Night of the Living Dead

Tried to spread the selection around a little to give a better idea of the types of horror out there.

The Omen
Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives
Halloween
Halloween 2
Event Horizon

Don't take this wrong because even though you're a newbie, you get to have an opinion too, but what was so great about Friday the 13th 6? Just seems like kinda an odd selection...

To me, Jason Lives is really the first Friday movie that looked like it was filmed with high production values and handled with care. It was also the first Friday film where not one cast member was annoying/boring to me. All of them looked like they were having fun with their roles. There's a lot of comedy interspersed between the kills but it never seems forced. Thom Matthews does an excellent job as the adult Tommy Jarvis and he gives Friday the 13th that Dr. Loomis kind of character that had been missing throughout the franchise. CJ Graham is right up there with Kane Hodder as my favorite portrayer of Jason. He had the Terminator-like vibe going on. I loved the quick head/body turns and all that. The only thing that bothers me is his mask is a bit too big but I can live with that.

The atmosphere is GREAT in this film. Other than Halloween 4 it's probably my favorite slasher movie as far as atmosphere goes. JL is dark, foggy, shadowy, windy...just everything I could want. The film is glossy but somehow (in parts) maintains that grainy, colorless late 70's, early 80's look that I love in horror films...especially the camp scenes in the final 1/3 of the movie.

The music is excellent. Harry Manfredini out-did himself with this particular Friday score. It was faster paced than usual and had an adventurous sound to it. He had a bombastic, Frankenstein kind of vibe going that I loved...particularly with the scene where Sheriff Garris is trying to put Jason down with the shotgun. The music just conveyed to me that Jason wasn't human anymore. He was larger than life and he wasn't going to stay down.

The kills...simply great. Never have they been more creative. JL still has my most favorite kill of all-time in a slasher film (the cop getting folded in half).

I don't think this film has one weakness in it and it's my standard by which all other Friday (and slasher films in general) are judged. If they had given CJ Graham's Jason the Part 7 makeup it would have been the ultimate Friday film.

I loved 'Jason Lives'. It was the only 'Friday' movie that Jason looked genuinely badass in.
Ithought it was a very good film.
