Best and Worst horror/spooky movies?

 

[CAPSLOCK]

Lake Placid is the best!

 

[disneyseniors]

The Sixth Sense is the only horror movie that really scared me.

 

[Neapolitan Ice Cream]

Worst? Braindead. Ridiculous. Mention the two words "zombie" and "lawnmower" in one breath and you get the idea.

 

[Kitty 34]

Worst....all hack and whack movies

One I was OK with...Johnny Depps' Secret Window.


.....and as always Buzz; What's your answer.

 

[TCRAIG]

The best - the old black and white 1960’s movie The Haunting (based on Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House)…The worst was the 1999 ‘remake’…

Yes, but the original Halloween and Friday the 13th sure have a special place in my memory. Oh, and A Nightmare on Elm Street too.

Oooh, the Netflix Haunting of Hill House I thought was really good

Haven’t seen it - but I heard it was good

 

[BlueStarryHat]

The Amityville Horror scared the crap out of me when I was a kid.

Oooh, good one, me too.

I always watch scary movies and Halloween shows in October! I rotate through a bunch of them, but the ones I have to watch every year are:
Halloween
The Shining
The Exorcist
Silence of the Lambs
My Bloody Valentine
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
Hocus Pocus
The Nightmare Before Christmas (I consider it more of a Halloween movie; I know opinions on that differ)

I haven't found any scary movies in the last couple decades to add to my annual must watch list, but I did like The Conjuring and have seen it more than once. Hoping for some good suggestions here! I re-watched Christine for the first time in a long time this year and it held up better than I expected!

Love your top 3. And Great Pumpkin.

How about "The Ring"? Speaking as a full grown man, that movie scared the crap out of me.

Yes! It is not an annual watch for me, but it was good!

I would also add The Lady in White, Woman in Black and Something Wicked this Way Comes and The Ring as favorites…I’m not into the blood and gore aspect of movies or ultra violence…that tends to gross me out more than scare me…

Best: Halloween, Scream and Friday the 13th series. Harry Potter series and Hocus Pocus (not the meh sequel) are my honorable mentions.

Worst: Children of the Corn, the Hills have Eyes, House of Wax.

The Haunting & Halloween are the 2 that have stood out over the years for me.

Woman in Black caught me off guard by how good it was! I have not seen Lady in White so will add that to my list!

Friday the 13th 1 & 2 are not on my annual viewing list, but they are often part of the rotation! And Harry Potter is in my rotation all year - love those movies. Scream is good as well.

Love this thread - October is the best!

I am hoping to do some outdoor movie nights w/Halloween movies this year. I am sticking with my "go to" Hubie Halloween, and Hocus Pocus. I also plan to add Beetle Juice Beetle Juice because I have yet to see that.

The worst stuff in my opinion is the stuff that is just the slasher type stuff. I just cannot deal with seeing that.
