  1. A Nightmare On Elm Street Series (Hellen): Wes Craven’s intelligent premise, combined with the horrifying visual appearance of Freddy Krueger, still causes nightmares to this day.
  2. Grindhouse (Dave): Grindhouse delivers exhilarating exploitation fare with wit and panache, improving upon its source material with feral intelligence.
  3. Friday The 13th Series (Barlo): One of the longest-running horror film series began with this gory shocker from director Sean S. Cunningham, who had previously produced Wes Craven’s classic Last House on the Left.
  4. Halloween Series (Mickey): Scary, suspenseful, and viscerally thrilling, Halloween set the standard for modern horror films.
  5. The Woman (Dave): Strange, audacious, and aggressive, The Woman is an uneven horror flick that game viewers with a wildly bloody finale.
  6. Evil Dead – 2013 Remake (Sarah): It may lack the absurd humor that underlined the original, but the new-look Evil Dead compensates with brutal terror, gory scares, and gleefully bloody violence.
  7. The Devil’s Rejects (Tyler): Zombie has improved as a filmmaker since “House of 1000 Corpses” and will please fans of the genre, but beware — the horror is nasty, relentless, and sadistic.
  8. The Cabin In The Woods (Derrick): The Cabin in the Woods is an astonishing meta-feat, capable of being funny, strange, and scary — frequently all at the same time.
  9. Scream (Lindsay): Horror icon Wes Craven’s subversive deconstruction of the genre is sly, witty, and surprisingly effective as a slasher film itself, even if it’s a little too cheeky for some.
  10. Event Horizon (Joe): A big-budget sci-fi/horror/slasher extravaganza. When the title spacecraft suddenly reappears in Neptune’s orbit seven years after disappearing, its creator embarks upon a rescue mission.
  11. The Shining (Nicole): Though it deviates from Stephen King’s novel, Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining is a chilling, often baroque journey into madness — exemplified by an unforgettable turn from Jack Nicholson.
  12. The Last House On The Left (Steve): Wes Craven’s first film was a crude but shocking horror opus that, like George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead (1968), became a grind house hit largely because it went much further than terror films before it had been willing to go.
  13. Jacob’s Ladder (Greg): A tortured man finds himself caught in a middle-ground between hallucination and reality in this supernatural thriller, scripted by Bruce Joel Rubin of Ghost
  14. Amityville Horror (Corinne): a newly married couple with three children, who move into their stately, beautiful new house in Amityville, NY –only to discover that the house already has demonic inhabitants.
  15. Zodiac (Shaun): A quiet, dialogue-driven thriller that delivers with scene after scene of gut-wrenching anxiety based on real events.
  16. The Saw Series (Chris): Saw is more than nasty enough for genre junkies, but far too twisted, gory, and shallow for more discerning horror fans.
  17. Leprechaun (Jerry): Friends star Jennifer Aniston made her film debut in this horror story about a psychotic, six-centuries-old leprechaun on a murder spree throughout North Dakota.
  18. The Human Centipede (Gabe): Grotesque, visceral and hard to (ahem) swallow, this surgical horror doesn’t quite earn its stripes because the gross-outs overwhelm and devalue everything else.
  19. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Grace): Full of pith and Grand Guignol grossness, this macabre musical is perfectly helmed and highly entertaining. Tim Burton masterfully stages the musical in a way that will make you think he has done this many times before.
  20. Hellraiser (Ashley): An exotic puzzle box serves as a gateway to a nightmarish alternate world in this gory horror film, the directorial debut of popular horror author Clive Barker.
  21. Would You Rather? (Frank): a 2013 American horror film starring Brittany Snow and Jeffrey Combs. It is based on the party game “would you rather,” and centers on Snow’s character, Iris, as she attends a dinner party, where she must partake in a life-threatening game to help her sick brother secure a donor.
  22. The Descent (Mary): Deft direction and strong performances from its all-female cast guide The Descent, a riveting, claustrophobic horror film.
  23. Insidious (Ben): side from a shaky final act, Insidious is a very scary and very fun haunted house thrill ride.
  24. The Strangers (King): The Strangers provides a few scares, but offers little else to distinguish itself from other slasher films.
  25. The Others (Julia): The Others is a spooky thriller that reminds us that a movie doesn’t need expensive special effects to be creepy.
  26. 28 Days Later (Mike): Kinetically directed by Danny Boyle, 28 Days Later is both a terrifying zombie movie and a sharp political allegory.
  27. Paranormal Activity (Kristen): Using its low-budget effects and mockumentary method to great result, Paranormal Activity turns a simple haunted house story into 90 minutes of relentless suspense.
  28. Hostel (Jed): Featuring lots of guts and gore, Hostel is a wildly entertaining corpse-filled journey — assuming one is entertained by corpses, guts, and gore, that is.
  29. The Woman In Black (Stacy): Traditional to a fault, The Woman in Black foregoes gore for chills — although it may not provide enough of them for viewers attuned to more modern, high-stakes horror.
  30. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Cecil): Thanks to a smart script and documentary-style camerawork, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre achieves start-to-finish suspense, making it a classic in low-budget exploitation cinema.
  31. Child’s Play/Chucky Series (David): Thanks to a voodoo curse, the spirit of a serial killer possesses Chuckie, an innocent-looking child’s doll which proceeds to go on a killing spree.

 

We really hope you guys enjoy the list & have a very happy halloween!
