Halloween (1978) John Carpenter The slasher film that started it all. Inspired by the works of the late-great Alfred Hitchcock, John Carpenter manages to scare the audience without the overuse of gore or pop-up scares. No, he gets... |

|
The Exorcist (1973) William Friedkin A good movie that still manages to scare. With excellent directing and sweet effects, this movie is a MUST for any horror fan. |

Pitch Black (2000) David Twohy A great modern sci-fi/horror flick and another personal favorite of mine, Pitch Black offers some striking visuals (which surprisingly still hold up today) and an awesome memorable anti-hero that... |

The Cabin in the Woods (2011) Drew Goddard Cabin in the Woods is pretty much every horror fan's wet dream, as it gives us a little bit of everything and manages to deliver something fun and creative in the process. It's a multi-... |

The Evil Dead (1981) Sam Raimi The darker film of the three and possibly also the scariest. A good movie that every horror fan must view at least once in their lifetime. |

Underworld: Awakening (2012) Mans Marlind, Bjorn... Underworld: Awakening is essentially just a non-stop adrenaline-fueled action pic from start to finish. Filled with loads of gore, great action sequences, an uber-Lycan, and a hot Kate Beckinsale in... |

Hellraiser (1987) Clive Barker A horror classic that every fan of the genre should see. Definitely recommended. |

Friday the 13th Part 3 (1982) Steve Miner While my least favorite of the first four, Friday the 13th Part 3 still delivers all the goods needed to make a slasher fan happy. A technical achievement at the time that outgrossed Jaws 3-D and... |

|
Ginger Snaps (2000) John Fawcett One of the best werewolf flicks that have come in a long while. Recommended for any horror fan. |

|
Zombieland (2009) Ruben Fleischer Zombieland is to horror comedies as Amber Heard is to horny teenage boys who watch horror comedies. A Godsend. |
|
|

|
Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn (1987) Sam Raimi A brainless fun ride from start to finish. Another MUST if you're a horror fan. |
|

|
Dawn of the Dead (1978) George A. Romero Personally my favorite of the Romero zombie flicks. With all the zombie entertainment, gore, and goblin music in the background, you can't really go wrong. |
|

|
Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI (1986) Tom McLoughlin Jason Lives is a tricky film to examine because while it doesn't stray too far away from the tired but true slasher formula, it excels behind the camera with a tight script, beyond competent... |

The Devil's Rejects (2005) Rob Zombie It doesn't matter if you're a fan of the first or not, because this film really goes in a totally different direction. I personally enjoyed it -- the story is interesting and so are the... |

Trick 'r Treat (2008) Michael Dougherty Trick 'r Treat is a unique little horror anthology that sucks in its viewers and doesn't let go. The stories are entertaining, the characters are interesting, and it delivers the perfect... |

Friday the 13th (1980) Sean S. Cunningham Friday the 13th may have its fair share of flaws, but its entertainment value, along with the place it's created for itself in the genre's history, make this film required viewing for all... |

An American Werewolf in London (1981) John Landis Good story; good humor; sweet gore; werewolf running amok in the crowded streets of London; what more could you want? Definitely worth a check if you haven't seen it already. |

Se7en (1995) David Fincher If you haven't seen this movie you should be ashamed of yourself. You don't have to be a genre fan to enjoy this baby. See it!!! |

|
Black Christmas (1974) Bob Clark Black Christmas is an expertly crafted chiller that successfully relied more on genuine tension and thrills than over the top gore. Easily one of my favorite holiday slashers, I give Black Christmas... |

|
Scream 4 (2011) Wes Craven If you’re a fan of the series, Scream 4 is a smart, cynical, and sometimes brutal reinvention of the franchise. Though not flawless by any means, Williamson and Craven managed to deliver some... |

|
Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed (2004) Brett Sullivan A good sequel, but a lot more was expected from it. There's not much werewolf-action as the first had and it mainly plays as a drama-type, because it basically deals just with Brigette and her... |

|
Hatchet (2006) Adam Green Hatchet is a fun ride, but (much like a ride) once things start moving along, before you know it, it's over. The first half is nothing but dirty jokes and T&A, while the second half is a lot... |

|
Freddy vs. Jason (2003) Ronny Yu A silly plot, but who cares? It has a lot of good blood and gore and the fights between the two horror icons are pretty damn fun! Personally I would have liked it more, but I'm not much of a... |

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) Tobe Hooper One of my favorite horror films. This is a violent and edgy cult film that leaves you thinking about it weeks after viewing it. Highly recommended for any horror fan. |
|
|

|
Martyrs (2008) Pascal Laugier Martyrs is absolutely brutal, and one of the most shocking films in recent memory. There aren't many films that can match its style, intensity, or finale. So if you like horror dark, I highly... |

The Hills Have Eyes (2006) Alexandre Aja This is a surprisingly good movie. There's a nice blend of gore and violence to please any horror fan. Although I liked the original, this definitely surpassed it in many ways. |

|
Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) Dwight H. Little Halloween 4 is a worthy sequel that went back to the basics that made the original the classic it is today. While the mask was a poor decision, the overall tone and the pants shitting ending made up... |

Army of Darkness (1993) Sam Raimi If you enjoyed the previous two films then you'll defintely enjoy this one. |

|
Dawn of the Dead (2004) Zack Snyder In terms of a remake, the original is still better, but in terms of a movie on its own, it holds up and delivers. It's a solid zombie flick and that's all that it is. It's not much for... |

Orphan (2009) Jaume Collet-Serra This is one of those rare occasions where a known sub-genre is taken to new heights by a clever script and talented director. Orphan doesn't skimp on the blood and even offers some fairly... |

28 Weeks Later (2007) Juan Carlos... One of the best horror films to come out of 2007 -- 28 Weeks Later surpasses the first movie in many ways and keeps us on the edge of our seats right from the start. See this movie. |

Final Destination 2 (2003) David R. Ellis If you're a fan of the original then you'll probably enjoy this sequel. I know I did. Check this out. |

Shaun of the Dead (2004) Edgar Wright A successfully funny UK zombie comedy. Filled with good zombie action, gore, and funny scenes, this is definitely worth a watch. |
|
|

|
28 Days Later (2002) Danny Boyle A very well done British horror film. Don't be fooled by other critics, this isn't a zombie movie. Interesting story and characters. Check this out whenever you can. |

Wrong Turn (2003) Rob Schmidt Check this movie if you want to see a good horror flick that kicks the MPAA in the balls and plays homeage to classics with the same theme. Highly recommended. |

Final Destination (2000) James Wong So, basically this is a pretty good movie and you'll get your money's worth. I recommend this film to everyone. |

Blade (1998) Stephen Norrington Blade is a great film that (aside from some of the CG effects) still holds up to this day as being a badass and memorable vampire flick and is one of my personal favs from the particular sub-genre.... |

Jeepers Creepers (2001) Victor Salva A fun and entertaining film that just seemed too short. The creeper character is very cool. I recommend this movie to all you horror buffs looking for something new. |

|
Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006) Jonathan Liebesman The film's aim to be more realistic, bloody, and violent than the '03 version succeeded, but doesn't offer quite much more in terms of story. Sure we're shown how some things came... |

Final Destination 5 (2011) Steven Quale Though my expectations were at an all time low, Final Destination 5 delivered everything you’d expect. Creative deaths, a fast pace, and an overall entertaining theater going experience. Its main... |

Silent Hill (2006) Christophe Gans Fans of the games may be disappointed by the incredibly thin story-line, but in ways it makes up for it with the excellent use of the game's music, along with the right atmosphere and a fair... |

Battle Royale (2000) Kinji Fukasaku This is one of the best films I've ever seen and ranks high in my favorite films of all time. It's very innovative, controversial, and highly entertaining. You have got to see this. |
|
|
|||
|
Day of the Dead (1985) George A. Romero Different from the previous two dead films, but definately not the worst in the trilogy. Excellent gore and a lot of good zombie-tearing-bodies-apart action. A MUST see for zombie fanatics. |
|
|

|
Blade 2 (2002) Guillermo del Toro Not as good as the first movie, but was still enjoyable. The special effects were good, but unneeded in parts. Check this out if you're a fan of Blade. |

|
Piranha 3D (2010) Alexandre Aja Forget about Iron Man, Salt, The A-Team, or whatever else recent disappointment that comes to mind. Piranha 3D is the embodiment of what a fun, summer film should be. It’s fast, bloody, chock full... |

Troll Hunter (2010) Andre Ovredal More of a fantasy-comedy, Troll Hunter proved to be a fun and intriguing ride from start to finish; offering an original premise and some great CG and creative look for these large creatures. Fans of... |

Predators (2010) Nimród Antal Predators is the sequel fans have been waiting twenty years for. It’s energetically violent, action packed, and the plot consists of nothing more than a group of humans fighting aliens. Badass.... |

30 Days of Night (2007) David Slade The film successfully re-invents the sub-genre and delivers a group of vampires more fearsome and brutal than ever before. Filled with lots of violence, blood, and badass characters, the movie will... |

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) Robert Rodriguez Badass characters, lots of gore, Salma Hayek, and with a combination of Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino makes for a very fun and entertaining vampire romp. Any fan of the genre should check... |

|
Let the Right One In (2008) Tomas Alfredson More of a romance-drama than a horror flick, this proved to be a good and semi-original take on the vampire sub-genre. Though, due to its slow-pace it will likely turn off viewers, but if you don... |
