1) The Monster Squad - a must watch every year "Wolfman's got nards!"
2) Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II
3) Sleepy Hollow (Tim Burton's and Disney's animated)
4) Universal Studios Monster Movies (Frankenstein, Wolfman, Dracula, Mummy etc)
5) Young Frankenstein "What knockers!"

Honorable mentions (sometimes I watch these too):
  1. Bram Stocker's Dracula (Francis Ford Coppola version)
  2. May Shelley's Frankenstein (Kenneth Branagh version - waiting for this one to be released in widescreen)
  3. Beetlejuice
  4. The Blair Witch Project (maybe Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows - nowhere near as good as the first but ok)
  5. The Fly (David Cronenberg version)
  6. Psycho (whole series I, II, III, and IV, but not the remake)
  7. Van Helsing
  8. Corpse Bride
  9. Haunted Mansion
  10. American Psycho - ok not really a horror, but it's funny "Don't touch the watch!"(y)

And right around Halloween, I pull out A Nightmare Before Christmas, but somtimes I watch it inbetween Halloween and Christmas.

I go for the first three H-flicks and number 6, which really tied up the previous entries and opened up new potential to go forward... which was thoroughly dashed by the reboot 3 years later!

I don't think there are many good horror movies, but.....

Stanley Kubrick's 'The Shining' is a masterpiece.

John Carpenter made some great ones: I recommend 'The Thing' with Kurt Russell. And of course 'Halloween.'

Some of my favorite horror films include.

Nosferatu
The Shining
Dracula (Bela Lugosi version)
Halloween
The Omen
Psycho
Ghostbusters

Now I know Ghostbusters usually isn't considered a horror film, I personally feel that it actually does work very well as a horror film. It has a terrifying score by Elmer Bernstein and the film brilliantly weaves in HP Lovecraft-esque themes into the plot.

Nothing beats the ORIGINAL versions of both.:p

Monster Squad (1976) With Fred Grandy, Gopher from "The Love Boat". Dig that cool theme tune and a pre-cursor to the A-Team van!

The Ghost Busters (1975) The tune is goofy but it was a fun show. A Saturday morning version of "Kolchak, The Night Stalker".

It's the cover art painting to the comic book Halloween:Night Dance 1 cover B by Bill Sienkiewicz. I'm not too big into the horror genre but the first Halloween is definitely in my top films list.

Sienkiewicz is great!(y) I have his Jimi Hendrix comic book and every panel is a painting.

Some Hallowe'en/horror faves would have to be, "Evil Dead 2", "Return of the Living Dead" and that super-crazy Peter Jackson flick, "Braindead" (aka "Dead Alive").:dead: (Speaking of which, there's a great zombie thread around here somewhere.)
