In recognition of Friday the 13th and Halloween month, here are my top 13 favorite horror films (Friday the 13th not included).
13) Dawn of the Dead (2004):
![]()
I don't always watch zombie films but when I do, I watch Dawn of the Dead. It's crazy to think this came out nearly 20 years ago. It's still my favorite "serious" zombie film.
12) An American Werewolf in London (1981):
![]()
An 80s classic comedy horror by John Landis. The special effects still look fresh especially compared to much of the awful CGI nowadays and the humor still hits. Not to mention one of the best soundtracks in a horror movie next to Tales from the Hood.
11) From Dusk till Dawn (1996)
![]()
This used to be one of my favorite films to watch with my big brother. We had all the lines downpact. This is the most quotable horror film. Plus the twist: this shit starts out like a Tarantino-Rodriguez crime film only to switch to horror out of left field. A wild ass ride and of the funnest horror films of all time.
10) The Fly (1986):
![]()
Body horror is a genre I want to like but the films usually fall short. Videodrome and a few others hit the mark but none does it as well The Fly IMO. When Jeff Goldblum's Seth Bundle goes from top physical conditioning to a living pile of liquifying flesh in a matter of an hour or so, your own skin begins to crawl.
9) A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984):
![]()
Slasher films generally aren't my favorite but A Nightmare on Elm Street is too badass not to include. Freddy is the horror villain OG and still fun as hell to watch.
8) Come Play (2020):
![]()
Another new entry. This is easily the best film I've seen that utilizes modern tech like the Internet and mobile devices effectively in driving the horror elements. Other films have tried to do this but most just end up being really dopey (e.g. Grimcutty).
7) The Babadook (2014):
![]()
A trope that's becoming more in more common in horror is family trauma being a factor, if not the main factor, in haunting the protagonist. The "true monster" is trauma as it were. Two more recent films, Smile and Talk to Me both utilize this trope but The Babadook is the first that I can think of to have gotten it right.
6) Candyman (1992):
![]()
This is the horror film my peers talked about the most back in the 90s. Kids were always claiming they said the name in front of the mirror five times and saw something. I was never brave enough to try and I didn't actually watch it until years later. Crazy to think it's from the mind of a British dude Clive Barker the creator of Hellraiser.
5) Tales from the Hood (1995):
![]()
This was one my grandma's favorite films. She loved it. Consequently it was the first horror film I ever watched as we watched it every weekend when we went over my grandma's house. Great soundtrack especially Spice 1's "Born II Die" which still listen from time to time. A horror film with a heavy handed message but still superbly done.
4) Aliens (1986):
![]()
Probably one of the few times a sequel beats the original and that's saying something because the original is a bonafide classic. Still the best sci-fi horror film ever made. I'm still waiting for a film to take the crown but I won't hold my breath.
3) The Exorcist (1973):
![]()
This film has to be on every horror aficionado's list. This classic demonic possession horror just gets better with age. The mastery of horror displayed here hasn't really been duplicated much less surpassed in 50 years.
2) Talk to Me (2022):
![]()
The top horror of 2022 without a doubt. I didn't think Australia could produce a horror film this good. This shit was a disturbing mindfuck rolled in an anus-clinching horror. Not to be missed
1) It Follows (2014):
![]()
My favorite on the list. The movie's subdued style with a minimal soundtrack and few jump scares just gives more attention to the evil which was absolutely unrelenting. I give the film credit for not falling for the tired cliché of revealing the monster's true form which, IMO, detracted from Smile, a similar film.
Feel free to shit on my list and post your own. I want a raucous ass discussion on this thread. I know this list is controversial as much for want it omits as it is for want it includes.

The Oscars haven't taken horror seriously since The Exorcist. It's not considered a serious art form.Nah here's something most people don't know... The original scream was much violent and gory, they had to keep editing the footage cause the rating people would not go than less than a nc-17 rating.. in fact the cut we saw was supposed to be nc-17 rating and the only reason why it wasn't cause 1 of the producers told the board this movie was a comedy.. basically a comedy spoof and that's the reason it got an r rating... Basically you not supposed to take horror films serious
Horror and comedies cheap films to make but make great flips) returns.. have built in audiences.. lots of people got their starts in both genres in minor rolesThe Oscars haven't taken horror seriously since The Exorcist. It's not considered a serious art form.
Definitely a lot of careers were started in both genres. It's crazy how many legends began their careers in Roger Corman's low budget horror/exploitation films.Horror and comedies cheap films to make but make great flips) returns.. have built in audiences.. lots of people got their starts in both genres in minor roles

I just saw Sinners for the first time a few days ago. I enjoyed it but I didn't see it as anything too special.Kinda true.
But I think Get Out (who won) and Sinners is changing that.
Notice its the best black creatives being allowed to cook who doing the best work.
In fact Coogler is legitimately bringing gold to horror AND the superhero genre.
Science fiction has also been disrespected in film AND TV....still
Despite game of thrones dominance.
I Know this is trash....
But damn it im gonna see it
I just saw Sinners for the first time a few days ago. I enjoyed it but I didn't see it as anything too special.
I did like how the blues was incorporated into the story, the cast was phenomenal, the story was well-written. I'll definitely watch it again but it didn't seem to be as innovative as Jordan Peele's films have been so far.
It was a time piece that just so happened to have vampires... Remember when I said my vampire list.. sinners was not on my top 3 listI just saw Sinners for the first time a few days ago. I enjoyed it but I didn't see it as anything too special.

Yeah, you conspicuously left that one off. What are your thoughts on it?It was a time piece that just so happened to have vampires... Remember when I said my vampire list.. sinners was not on my top 3 list
I was warned b4 going in that it was a story prior and the vampires are more of a secondary story.. so knowing that I wasn't disappointed.. now if my expectations was thinking 90 percent of it was gonna be vampires I probably would've been mad.. for what it was it was a good movie... But because what it was I don't necessarily look at it as a full on vampire flickYeah, you conspicuously left that one off. What are your thoughts on it?
I mean, Dusk Til Dawn wasn't a full on vampire flick either. It started out as a crime spree film until it went left somewhere in the middle. It worked though.I was warned b4 going in that it was a story prior and the vampires are more of a secondary story.. so knowing that I wasn't disappointed.. now if my expectations was thinking 90 percent of it was gonna be vampires I probably would've been mad.. for what it was it was a good movie...

Definitely agree with dusk but it was trying to explain what got them there in basically the vampire feeding ground.. that feeding ground could've easily been a prequel story waiting to happen on how it started, how long it's been going on, especially the end when you saw that the mountain was 1 big vampire cave and there was a shit load of abandoned vehicles, meaning they were doing this for a long time... No I never saw the b rated sequel to dusk till dawnI mean, Dusk Til Dawn wasn't a full on vampire flick either. It started out as a crime spree film until it went left somewhere in the middle. It worked though.
With Sinners, the vampire stuff just seemed be tacked on. It seemed like it wanted to be a film about music, specifically the blues, and how transcendant music can be when it's made by a skillful musician. The supernatural just seemed to be there to emphasize that point and it could've easily come in any form if vampires weren't used.
It looked like an Aztec temple to be honest. That's when the song "Dark Knight" starts playing. Anyway there was a show on the El Rey network that I believe was a prequel but I never really got into it.Definitely agree with dusk but it was trying to explain what got them there in basically the vampire feeding ground.. that feeding ground could've easily been a prequel story waiting to happen on how it started, how long it's been going on, especially the end when you saw that the mountain was 1 big vampire cave and there was a shit load of abandoned vehicles, meaning they were doing this for a long time...
