Are These The Best Horror Movies of All Time?
Halloween is a week away, and the anticipation is revving up for the day. Costumes are being purchased, candy for the trick-or-treaters, and the party invitations are out. This is a great time of year to cuddle up on the couch with a loved one and watch a horror movie, if you like horror movies that is.
Here's the good news, Thrillist put together a list of the Best Horror Movies of All Time, so that takes the guess-work out of which movies to pick. At least if you follow their top 75 list. Some of these movies I had never heard of, but some I have actually seen. (Disclaimer - I am not a horror movie fan, and some of these movies are the reason why.)
Here is the top 5 out of that list of 75 movies:
- Night of the Living Dead/Continental Distributing Inc.
Night of the Living Dead/Continental Distributing Inc. - Halloween/Compass International
Halloween/Compass International 4"Halloween" 1978
Here is where we met Michael Myers, and Jamie Lee Curtis is phenomenal in her role. A bit of trivia for you, that infamous mask was actually a Captain Kirk mask painted. That's right, they used William Shatner's likeness to make Michael Myers look so danged creepy.
- Psycho/Paramount
Psycho/Paramount 3"Psycho" 1960
Alfred Hitchcock at his absolute best. Who can forget that shower scene? Or the twist at the end. This movie has been redone, parodied, and there was a TV show based on young Norman.
- The Exorcist/Warner Bros.
The Exorcist/Warner Bros. 2"The Exorcist" 1973
Ok this ranking I agree with. This was a very disturbing movie, dealing with demonic possession and the occult. Very forward for the year it was made, the special effects today look hokey, but, all in all, a very scary movie. Yes, I have seen this one. It didn't bother me as much as others, but, this is one to watch with the lights on.
- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre /Dark Sky
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre /Dark Sky 1"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" 1974
Cannibalism and psychopaths, when they cross paths you get Leatherface and kin. I have not seen this movie, nor do I want to. I shudder just looking at the synopsis.
