What are my Top 10 best Horror Movies of all time?
I do not have an exact number of how many horror films I have seen. But there are a plethora of them that never left my head. Here is a list of my top 10. It is hard to pick, and I went over this list so often that if I keep looking at it, I'll keep changing it. No changes this time, lol. (In no order kind of)
—————————————————————————————————————
10. I know what you did last summer (1997)
I had to add this one—it's a no-brainer. I grew up first reading the book when I was a kid, not knowing it was turned into a movie until later. But I loved the book, so I knew I would love the movie, and I did just that. It is the perfect blend of suspense and horror. The casting is too good not to watch this. Go watch it. And watch the second one, too. It's too good. Seriously.
9. Rosemarys Baby (1968)
I actually just watched this for the first time a few months ago, and it stuck with me. It's not the typical jumpscare horror film; it's psychological, making it more terrifying. What a great movie.
8. The Excorsist (1973)
The music, the visuals, the pure horror in this. It is unmatched.
7. Saw (2004)
I love the Saw franchise, and it's odd because I wasn't a big fan when I was younger. I grew up and changed my mind. I always thought the puppet was the killer, so I wasn't a huge fan. But after seeing all the movies, I could not stop watching them. I love the Saw franchise! There is not one lousy saw movie ;)
6. The Thing (1982)
This film is insanely good. I grew up watching this, didn't have the appreciation I have for it now. It’s horrifying. Imagine a thing growing in you and your friends, but you don't know who has it and who doesn't? so frightening. You have to see this.
5. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
I always loved this franchise since I was a little kid. The concept always amazed me, such an insane concept to me. A murderer who kills people in their sleep? That is so petrifying to me! Freddy Krueger is one of the best horror movie characters to ever be created. Go watch the first one and tell me it doesn't scare you. Theres no way.
4. Friday the 13th (1980)
Now, this franchise—oh my god. The first one doesn't really do justice for me. Part two and part three make me much more scared. I do love the first one, too, but there wasn't much to grasp until the end, I feel. I don't like horror films like that a lot. After parts two and three, the franchise goes downhill, in my opinion, but it's still fun to watch. I do love watching the Freddy Vs. Jason's movie, though! That one is really well done.
3. Scream (1996)
I watched this once as a kid and never stopped watching. I watch this franchise at least four times a week. I say this with all confidence: there is not ONE bad scream movie. If I had to tell you one to watch, I would say the first one. What's your favorite scary movie?
2. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
This movie PETRIFIES me. For me, any movie with long chase scenes makes me go crazy, and I do not like the feeling of never-ending chasing, where I can't escape the bad guy. I hate that feeling. That is exactly what this film is. It is terrifying—one of the best I've ever seen. It puts genuine fear into me.
1. Halloween (1978)
I can go on for days about Halloween; I grew up watching this. My friends and I were like eight years old watching these movies; we were scared to death but still loved watching them. I was Michael Myers for Halloween too many times as a kid. Thinking back, there is no way I would allow my child to watch this. But the funny thing was our parents watched them with us! I was constantly asked if I was sure I'd be okay to watch, and I always said yes (I was lying). I would go to bed In the dark and would run out of my bed because I thought Michael Myers was in my closet. There are only a few horror films like Halloween. In fact, there will not be another film like Halloween. This is genuinely frightening. Again, because of the never-ending chasing. I hate that feeling!
