EW's Top 13 Horror Movies of All Time - Page 7

Glitternerfball · 10-08-2005, 04:55 PM

I saw Trilogy of Terror too! I hated that little Zulu doll (I saw it because I later found out someone I met was IN that film, he was one of the detectives killed by the doll).

Norreen, are you thinking of Cat's eye? I thought that was a stephen king flick.

I have no nerves for horror films, I had nightmares big time after Theif of time!

Also Night of the Living dead, the Shining (red rum, redrum!), Invasion of the body snatchers and pet cemetary. Yet, I still watch. I don't think se7en should have been on the list, it sucked big time.

OK, I know it was a cheesy movie but I remember seeing "Christine" (Stephen King book about a possessed car) and it scared the absolute sh*t out of me...same for "Cujo"....there was plenty of

factor to them but they still freaked me out!
I agree with Salems Lot and Exorcist tho. Whenever I go swimming or snorkeling in the ocean, I still hear the Jaws music playing in my head!

that movie! I refuse to watch any recent scary movies....there's too many psycho people out there who actually would do some of the stuff in the movies and I don't want to watch them.

I have seen all 13 movies on the list and the only one that scared me as a kid was the Exorcist which made it difficult for me to sleep for a few months afterward. Even now as a grown man I still find it really creepy.

The others on the list are good movies but none of them really scared me and several of them I saw as a kid by myself some of those times. Just not scary to me but that's just me.

A couple of movies that did scare me as a kid were the movie Ghost Story with Fred Astaire and Doug Fairbanks, and The Entity with Barbara Hershey. I believe both came out the same year because I remember sneaking into see both at the movies with my first "girlfriend".

I have seen all the films but I actually think that Se7en isn't really a horror movie but more of a crime drama. I think Scream should be in the list.It really changed horror films. I saw Burnt Offerings when I was 7 and that scared the heck out of me!

IMDb has a Top 50 horror list and a Bottom 10 list. These lists are based on the average rating a film gets from public voters. I like the top 50 list because it's more inclusive. Older and lesser known films make the cut.

My favorite Horror movie is definitely The Shining, but I also like the Exorcist and Texas Chainsaw Massacre a lot (the original version). Jamie Lee Curtis and Halloween I are overrated (I actually enjoyed Halloween IV the most in the series..perhaps because it is the first in the series that I saw).

Se7en was a very good movie but not a horror movie at all.
I always considered Scream a comedy

The original Vampire Hunter D was sweet, but once again that is not a horror movie.

I would also put the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers on this list.

What about the movie "Wacko"? As a kid I loved that movie (Believe it was more of a slapstick 80s comedy making fun of horror movies).

Apparently we weren't the only ones who thought this movie was pretty scary. Look what I found.

In 1975, an ABC Movie of The Week called TRILOGY OF TERROR aired featuring 3 different short horror themed stories. All of them starred Karen Black. Though the first two were as entertaining as you'd expect a made for TV spooky story to be, the third story ranks up there as one of the scariest TV broadcasts ever made.

Long long before CHUCKY or PUPPETMASTER was the ZUNI FETISH DOLL, and it's appearance in that 3rd segment was mindbending. Black's character buys the doll to give to her boyfriend. Unfortunately, a tag is around the neck of the creepy looking toy warning of the doom the owner faces if it the tag ever falls off.

I don't think all of these are horror movies, but more thrillers. Esp. #13, 10, 6, 3, 1. Horror to me = blood and guts, not much thinking going on to watch it
