I love love love halloween. So in honor of the my second favorite holiday (after Christmas, don't get me started on how much of a Christmas nerd I am), I decided to list my top 5 favorite horror movies.
5. A Nightmare On Elm Street- The original and still the best. When Krueger was menacing and not just a dark stand-up comic.
4. Dawn of the Dead- The movie that made me love zombies. When I first saw this, with it's over the top violence, it just made me want to watch it non-stop.
3. Halloween- The remake, oddly enough. Many people hated it but I really liked how it had that Rob Zombie flavor to it and expounded upon the original film.
2. The Devil's Rejects- Another Rob Zombie project. It was brilliant. The characters are among the most twisted in cinema history and the style of the film elevates it above just horror fare.
1. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre- I remember watching this in the dark with my girlfriend in high school and it scared me. It creates such an air of menace that you can imagine the dark spaces of the screen filled with flesh eating maniacs just out of your field of vision. Still the horror standard.
