The original ‘the haunting’ is still one of the greatest movies made.

The sacristy ones are where it's just implied and you don't actually see anything. Once you see it it spoils it.

I loved Jeepers Creepers, right up until you actually saw the thing, no longer scary.

For the time it was out and the impact it had its tough to beat the exorcist I think and also think the Blair witch project was pretty groundbreaking.

I loved The Conjuring. I have a slight obsession with The Warrens.

Can we count Blade as a horror? It has vampires in it? In which case I’ll add Lost Boys & Fright Night (the original one).

The exorcist is a classic.

I love horror in general

Phantasm has a good atmosphere. It was a "low budget" film but gained a cult following. The sequels are so-so.

Fuck right. That’s still my goto example of how to scare an audience. It’s the imagination of yourself that causes the intensity, when they try to give you a visual afterwards, it rarely meets you heightened expectations.

I mean Texas chainsaw got it right. He was a nutter. And there’s o others that worked. But jeepers creepers was such a come down.

No such thing as a favourite in my book as there’s too many I love. But my favourite within the horror genre would be sci fi horror films. So Alien would probably be the horror film I’ve watched the most.

I think Aliens is an action film.

Not mentioned so far is ‘The Orphanage’ great little chiller.

But so many 80’s classics like The Thing or Halloween.

Or even classics like Night of the Demon or The Wicker Man.

But I do enjoy a good Hammer horror film especially if Christopher Lee or Peter Cushing is starring.

Check out 'Grave Encounters'. It's probably about ten years old, but it's dead good!

Horror is a film genre that seeks to elicit fear or disgust in its audience for entertainment purposes. Horror films often explore dark subject matter and may deal with transgressive topics or themes. Broad elements include monsters, apocalyptic events, and religious or folk beliefs.

That rules out Minion movies
