My favorite horror film of all time is the original ‘Evil Dead.’ It is exciting, funny, gory, engrossing and gives the audience more than a few jolts. It is a masterpiece made on a budget, and I greatly appreciate that.
My Favorite horror movie? That is always a tough one to answer because there are many. I think the one that is near and dear to me, if I have to pick one, is Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). I love the original so much because they do a lot with very little. Its low budget look gives a documentary feel to it and helps bring it closer to feeling real. It has some brutally creative deaths. Personal favorite is the meat hook scene, sounds bad I know. I have heard many people talk about TCM being a gory film but if you watch it, it is actually not. Its all on how the story was directed, shot and edited. It still creeps me out to this day, in a good way.
Halloween is my favorite horror movie cause it is the first horror film i seen in the theater in 1978. It has left a lasting impression!
My favorite horror movie is Scream. In 1996 when I was 6 years old my Mom (a longtime horror fan) took me to see it in theaters. It blew my mind and opened me up to other horror movies, kickstarting my love of them.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space….. that damn movie ruined clowns for me forever…. they now freak me the heck out so much!!!!!
Night of the Demons (1988) is my absolutely favorite because it was the FIRST horror movie I ever watched and fell madly in love with! My mother was watching it and I remember I couldn’t keep my eyes off of it, thanks Mom! :}
Contest Entry: Favorite horror film is Tourist Trap (1979), starring Chuck Connors. I loved Chuck Connors’ performance as the demented Mr. Slausen. Seeing “The Rifleman” in this type of role added to the terror! It was original, and also had shades of Psycho and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

I would have to say the Exorcist. It was very original and well made.
my favorite horror movie is silent night,deadly night,friday the 13th,amityville 2:the possession!
My favorite horror movie has to be Friday the 13th. I’ve been watching horror films since I was three years old, thanks to my Grandma, who was also a horror fanatic. My parents hated that she allowed me to watch scary movies at such a young age, but she didn’t care because she knew that I wasn’t afraid of them. Friday the 13th and its many sequels were always my favorite movies to rent from the video store because I love the simple concept of a vengeful killer stalking teenagers in the woods. It’s straight to the point, like a slasher film should be.
My favorite horror film is John Carpenter’s remake of “The Thing.” It’s both an homage to past sic-fi/horror films and fresh/modern at the same time. One is also hard pressed to beat the practical effects and the scene where they test the blood with the hot wire is classic!
Favorite horror movie is “The Horror Express.” Those bleeding red eyes gave me nightmares for years. Saw it the first time when I was six back in the 70s. Hell, it still scares me.

Working at a video store, you get asked this question all the time. And no one ever believes my answer. My favorite horror movie, the scariest movie of all time, is Jesus Camp. It’s a 2006 documentary that’s essentially Jim Jones’ Children of the Corn. Nothing horrific happens in it, per se, but there’s something very ominous about it.
My Favorite Horror movie is Hellraiser. It was the first horror movie, that I saw, with the kind of special effects and gore in it. I also have to be honest, but Pinhead is my favorite monster. Not only for his nonchalant way of enjoying pain and torure, but also for his presence. But I also have to admit, that I kind of have a crush on Pinhead and get excited anytime I see him in a Hellraiser movie or haunted attraction. I guess I have a thing for really bad guys.
Mine would have to be The Exorcist, because it is the first film i can remember being utterly terrified by, and it still gives me chills to this day.
It’s a tough call, I love so many movies in the genre. I love movies like The Evil Dead and Re-Animator, along with lesser loved movies like In the Mouth of Madness and The Frighteners. I’d have to say though, the most perfect horror film of all time is Bride of Frankenstein. It’s so stylish and extremely ahead of its time. It hits all the right notes of being simultaneously funny and scary. The ending is also so tragically perfect.
Let’s Scare Jessica To Death. It’s such a beautiful and unsettling film. The soundtrack alone is a work of genius. If any OST needs to be released on vinyl it’s this one. Jessica didn’t deserve that madness. I could tell that she was a good person inside. She didn’t need that vampire hell. My favorite scene is when Jessica is in the antique store looking at the millefiori lamp. That might be the most beautiful scene I’ve ever seen. Her face is like an angel then. I like that it means flowers of evil. I like that pigface sampled this film. I like this entire thing.

Dead and breakfast is my favorite horror movie. It is hilarious, bloody, The music is fantastic and also amusing. On top of having david carradine the rest of the cast is perfect. Not a typical horror movie but is a typical horror comedy. Can watch it over and ovrr and akways find something new to laugh at or enjoy the squirting blood and various killings. Top notch movie.
Nekromantik, beautiful piece of horror art. The whole feel of the film is amazing. I love leaving the mainstream of horror films and find something more extreme, more different. Betty bathing in bloody bath water was such a great scene. Necrophilia is always a beautiful watch.
Oh so difficult!!!, all time horror I would probably always have to go with the Evil Dead franchise, that just has for me and so many a special place in our evil hearts ;), I like so many films for different reasons Ido like a mad mind fk movie, I would like to see a big David Lynch horror movie that would rock, I’m watching loads of indie horrors at the moment including Dustin Mills, mad stuff ;)
There is one movie that got me started in my Horror fandom and that is the original The Amityville Horror. When I was but 10 years of age my father took me to see the film in Amityville, Long Island & seated in an aisle seat I will never forget the strangers across the aisle looking over at me making nasty scary faces as we watched the movie. Being truly creeped out afterward my father compiled the scare with a drive by the original home that the story took place in!! It was still in its original state, no remodeled as it is today. This scared the crap out of me and since then I have been a student, researcher and author of all things horror.
John Carpenter’s The Thing or Creepshow. Both were the first movies to give me nightmares at the age of about 4 or 5.
I have a favorite horror movie in every decade honestly. The horror genre has progressed in so many ways be it cinematography wise or just concept. There are so many subgenres of horror that deserve love and it would be impossible for me to pick a favorite SO I will tell you my favorite horror movie as it stands at this moment and is one horror movie that have the fondest of memories for. TOD BROWNING’S FREAKS (1932) This classic was banned for a very long time due to its graphic nature depicting actual freaks that worked in various carnival acts in real life. The story itself is beautiful and the actors and actresses made the movie. I remember going to BLOCKBUSTER and renting this movie with my mom who introduced me to all things horror and we were both haunted by the rainstorm scene while at the same time feeling nothing but love and sorrow for the way the freaks were treated by Cleopatra. The movie is still shocking and still holds up with witty dialogue and a human need to find acceptance among those we can relate to and to show compassion for those that are different. I love FREAKS and my mom for introducing it to me :D
Favorite horror film of all time has to be The Exorcist. There are a multitude of reasons why, but I’ll go with the perfect combination of comedy and gore.
My favorite horror movie of all time is Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. It’s so unconventional and groundbreaking. Not since has Hollywood ever been able to put out something so brilliant. The atmosphere oozes off the screen much the like the blood that runs out of the elevator shaft. There are few films that can entrance me like The Shining does. I have been a fan since a child when i watched half of it but then was yelled at and had to turn it off. Years later I was home alone one night and it came on. I was mesmerized. I literally could not turn away. Jack Nicholson’s performance is awe inspiring. How can you not love a man in a bear suit blowing another guy in a Hollywood big budget horror film? It’s moments like that that make this film a masterpiece. I recently got to see it in a theater and was blown away. It was so much better and that it how it is truly meant to be seen. This movie means so much to me and will always be my favorite horror movie of all time.

my favorite horror movie is the Saw movie as its a brilliant movie made on a budget and i love the sick twisted games played!!!
My favorite horror movie is A Nightmare on Elms Street 4 where the chick is caught in the roach motel, and Freddy says a line while Dan is on the motorcycle that I remember to this day; “This boy feels the need for speed.” Awesome killer moment. Freddy scared me because it was a real possibility that someone could get you in your dreams. After all, everyone has to sleep. My second favorite is Doom (I’ve had to replace my copy 3 times for various reasons). I love the video game, so the movie was icing on the cake. I just watched it last night.
My favorite horror movie is The Stuff. It was one of the first horror movies my father let me watch when I was a little girl. He was really into B Horror flicks. This movie is so bad it is good and always brings me back to the time I first watched it.
‘Invasion of The Body Snatchers’ (1978 version). My dad took me to see it when I was a kid and it scared the hell out of me. There was no obvious traditional monster to fight, you could never tell who was a pod person, you couldn’t sleep, and no matter where or how fast you ran they would still be circling in to claim you. I’m glad to say it’s even more claustrophobic to watch as an adult. Every detail has withstood the test of time on it…. except maybe Leonard Nimoy’s hair LOL
While not specifically horror, I would have to go with Monster in the Closet. My sister and I went through three copies growing up. She passed a couple years ago, and it still holds a special place and brings back a feeling of nostalgia.
A Nightmare On Elm Street. It was my first horror movie that I watched on my own, and it was the movie that showed me the psychology behind the scare!
My favorite horror film is 1978’s Halloween. It’s the genre at it’s finest and really represents what’s at the core of horror. Amazing cinematography and a terrifying score helped turn Michael Myers into the scariest horror villain of all time.
Naturally, my favorite horror film is The Exorcist but I would rather suggest a title that gets little appreciation: “Noriko’s Dinner Table”. I picked this film because it dials down traditional horror motifs while building a dark philosophy that in itself is the true horror of the film.
Basket Case is probably the one on my favorites list I have watched the most. Everything about this trilogy embodies the things I love about films. The sheer entertainment value leaves me with unlimited rewatchability. Also, the monsters in the 3 films look so god damned amazing.
Basket Case, The Gate, and Return of the Living Dead for a 3-way tie. And why? They are each unique in their own ways to the horror genre. Rotld being the best zombie movie by far and Basket Case is, well..there’s nothing else like it.
My all-time favorite horror movie is the original 1968 Night of the Living Dead. It was a movie that took a small budget and great talent and not only pushed the boundaries of horror for its time, but essentially created/defined a sub-genre of horror that still exists today.
There’s many horror movies I can mention but one of my favorites is John Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness. This movie freaked me out when I was a kid back in 1988. It still freaks me out today. It’s an underated horror movie that blends gore, science and religion with a menacing John Carpenter soundtrack. I’m also a big fan of Alice Cooper and nothing better than watching Alice Cooper stab a scientist with a piece of a rusty bicycle. And the very ending of the movie will make anyone jump.
There are many a horror film worthy of the title, “favorite.” If choosing one is a must, then I will have to say the original, black and white version of “The Haunting.”
It possess’ all the elements required to scare a scream from your lips and cause you to sleep with the lights on. This film does so, without the usual special effect magic. It turns you chilly, without any blood or gore. This is pure psychological horror at it’s ultimate best! Your every sensory nerve is being played upon, as your imagination takes on each scene; leaving you exhausted from the tension that has built and left you spent -yet you dare to keep watching (even if between the fingers of the hand covering your eyes). Yes, “The Haunting,” a favorite indeed.
