Best Horror Movies of All Time

The Exorcist. Hands down the most frightening film I have ever seen.

I had bad parents, they let me watch this when I was 6, scared the out of me until I was 10, then I saw Children of the Corn, but I'm feeling much better now.

Best horror movie ever...ask any musician from the 70s-80s what the best....or worst horror movie was, it'd be, This is Spinal Tap!! It terrified most of them how accurate it was. Some of them thought it was real and didn't even know it was a mockumentary

Besides Jaws, the only horror film that had a lasting impact on me was Son of the Blob. It wasn’t particularly good, nor even really scary, but in the opening scene of the movie, it eats a kitten.

When I saw it, I had just gotten kittens for Christmas a few months prior…

No joke, my first metal concert- Savatage opening for Megadeth opening for Dio- was Spinal Tap come to life…for each of the 3 bands!

I had to ask my buddies who were there with me if this was typical. None of them had seen anything like it before.

Son of the Blob

Was that the one from 85-86?

I read in a few places that some of the musicians that watched it in 84 when it came out literally cried when they saw it. Eddie Van Halen being one. I think the "Hello Cleveland" part was based off Cheap Trick. Besides the Ruttles, I'd say that was one of the first mockumentaries, at least in the music genre. Most people don't realize how much it hit home for people that were on the road for 3/4 year and making music for a living at the time

I saw the 50's original and I must be thinking of the remake. Son of the Blob must've flown under the radar of our mid 80's VHS horror movie renting phase. Oooohh...Chopping Mall, and Dental School, lets rent these

I fully believe horror movies are for teens and pre-teens.

When else is a horror movie going to be at the optimum age to scare you? Horror movies just lose their oomph as you get older.
