So I've been watching a bunch of Horror movies this Halloween season and thought it would be fun to talk about everyone's favorite horror films. What are your favorite horror films? Which films do you think are underrated? Overrated?
Off the top of my head, here are a few from each category:
My favorites:
Halloween (original)
Psycho (original)
Alien
The Shining
Jaws
Underrated:
Mute Witness
Evil Dead II
The Changeling
Slither
Poltergeist
Overrated
Ju On/Grudge
Suspiria (I like this movie a lot, but it's way overrated)
Dawn of the Dead (original)
Friday the 13th (take your pick)
Saw
It goes without saying*
Phantasm - I'm obligated to mention this one due to sentimental value. Plus, it's the source of my handle...
The funny thing about such lists is that I guarantee that there are people who will put my favorites list into the overrated category or my overrated picks into the underrated category (or vice versa). Ahhh fun.
I'm sure I missed about 50 great movies, so let's hear em:)
