F&T's Top 100 Horror Movies

[L2R]

arbitrary to me, i did one of my all time favourite films first.

lol@ the blob image "healthfully air conditioned"

re: silence of the lambs. i went to the cinema to see that on a school day during the one time i got suspended. blew my mind.

86. Pet Sematary (1989 - Mary Lambert)

This is probably the first horror movie that I ever saw, so this one has some sentimental horror value for me.

 

[hydroazuanacaine]

^the "brought you something" gif is great.

85. Battle Royale

because it's entertaining. scenario, violence, sex, and a reasonable production value. to be watched with friends and beer.

 

[Bardeaux]

84. Psycho (1960 - Alfred Hitchcock)

This probably belongs way down the list, but I'm impatient by nature.

 

[Asclepius]

yay, i was hoping we'd like this.

Like!




83. Village of the Damned (1960)

 

[hydroazuanacaine]

Like!

^good, was hoping you might play.

NSFW:

^knife. knife. hammer!

82. Suspiria

i don't know that dario argento is a great filmmaker, but he made a great film. maybe my favorite horror movie. the lighting and sound create an amazing and creepy atmosphere that is well maintained from the very first scene to the last.

 

[Asclepius]

^That gif's sleekness is hypnotic!

84. Nightbreed

Ahh... Cheesey horror.

 

[Asclepius]

85. The Tingler

 

[hydroazuanacaine]

^can't go wrong with a title like that.

79. Jacob's Ladder

not textbook, but i think it qualifies as horror. definitely one of the scarier movies i have ever seen. as well as just a great film.

^terrible tagline.

 

[Asclepius]

^Definitely a Psychological Horror.

78. The Hunger (1983)

Am failing to put these in exact order of preference...oh well

 

[hydroazuanacaine]

^everyone is. more important that people get their favorites onto the list in whatever order, and then we will have an awesome list of 100 great horror movies.

catherine deneuve smoking a cigg in evil looking retro glasses just got The Hunger added to my netflix queue.

 

[L2R]

77 mulholland drive

 

[Rasclatt]

76. Brain Dead / Dead-Alive by Peter Jackson 1992

I think this needs to go in. In many ways a pretty terrible film really but still brilliant just for its virtuosic cartoon gore.

 

[Rasclatt]

75. Dont Look Now by Nicolas Roeg (1973)

I guess this is more on boarderline thriller really but still very influential in horror I think.

 

[AmorRoark]

Damn, I wanna watch Battle Royale again now.

 

[hydroazuanacaine]

^it's a goodie, huh?

74. Hausu ('77)

one of its inspirations must have been The Wizard of Oz. a style-over-substance success story. i think it also owes something to the less successful czech film, Daises. reminds me a lot of Suspiria--released the same year in a different part of the word--but in many ways they are very different movies.

House is fun, campy, and film-y. rarely scary. a must see for any movie buff.

so many great gifs, so for post size...

Great thread idea.

73.

Carrie (1976)

This was one of the first horror films I saw as a kid.

 

[Rasclatt]

I've been meaning to watch Hausu for ages, I've seen quite a few clips of it and it looks absolutley mental :D

72 - Alien (1979 - Ridley Scott)
