    Best Horror Movies of All Time

    Well not compared to modern films. But compared to some of the horror fioms that came out in the 1970's and 1980's it kind of is. The Universal monster movies may be a slow burn, but early slasher films are a gradual process of rusting.

    What about documentaries? True crime, nuclear disasters, astornomical phenomena that could end the earth in the blink of an eye, that sort of thing We were talking earlier about ultimate horror films that haven't been made yet and I think the ultimate ultimate just might be if the pop science...

    Best Horror Movies of All Time

    On that topic, of horror movies that have yet to me made, I've had the thought that you could make a really frightening horror film if you took the premise of Pleasantville and then reversed it, so that it becomes a zombie movie.

    Best Horror Movies of All Time

    It's dull but I think by the standards of Universal's monster movies it's pretty exciting. It holds one's attention a little better than The Wolfman or Creature from the Black Lagoon. And it's MUCH more exciting than The Mummy. Practically nothing happens in The Mummy* until the very end, and...
