The following list is of the top ten horror films that get my blood going in the month of October. Consider these to be my personal picks for AMC's "Monster Fest" lineup. From #1 to #10 I have seen all of these at least three times and continue to love the fear that they instill in me.
(In order)
1. Halloween
The O.G. of Horror films in this particular genre. I watch this every Halloween and it still provides me with the same edge-of-my-seat feeling it did years ago.
2. The Exorcist
Don't get me wrong, I love "The Exorcist" but...this is better left alone.
3. Friday The 13th
The Crystal Lake saga began here with Mrs. Vorhees knocking off sexually promiscuous camp counselors.
4. Donnie Darko
Though not a traditional style "Horror" film, 'Donnie Darko' has become an absolute favorite of mine to watch on Halloween. The film is set in October of 1988 and culminates on Halloween nite...let's just understand that it was not hard for me to fall in love with this one.
5. The Amityville Horror
The grainy film, the overall evil tone and the "based on a true story" factor all combine to make this one a lock for me.
6. Poltergeist
"They just moved the headstones!!!!!"
7. Friday The 13th Part II
Ol' mom might be dead...but guess who isn't? Hands down my favorite sequel in the horror genre.
8. Phantasm
Yes it's cheesy...but the Tall Man is still enough to make me turn my head.
9. The Omen
"Look Damien, look at me. It's all for you Damien"
10. Pet Sematary
Zelda (the green sister with spinal meningitis that appears early in the film) still haunts me to this day! Gage was no joke either.
