Warning- This is not for those who have bad taste in movies.
10- Nightmare on Elm Street by Wes Craven. This movie tells the story of teenagers trying to fight off the evil Freddy Kruger who can only kill you in your sleep.
9- Edward Scissorhands by Tim Burton. This movie was about poor edward trying to get through his life while being stuck with.... well... scissor hands.
8- Return of the Living Dead by Dan O'Bannon. This is the sequel to the epic blockbuster Night of the Living Dead.
7- 28 Days Later by Danny Boyle. This movie is about 28 days after the Rage Virus spreading all over Great Britain turning people into viscous monsters. A small group of survivors are left trying to escape to safety.
6- Disturbia by D.J. Cauruso. This movie has many of the elements of the Alfred Hitchcock film, Rear Window. This suspenseful film tells the story of three teenagers who suspect their neighbor of being a wanted murderer.
5- Halloween by John Carpenter. This movie tells the story of the cold blooded killer, Mike Meyers' quest to kill a teenage girl and her friends and family.
4- Cry_Wolf by Jeff Wadlow. This is by far one of my favorite movies on this list for a few reasons. The movie is about a group of college students who begin to receive strange instant messages from the screen name cry_wolf after starting it as a game after a girl was murdered. As the movie goes on student by student are getting "murdered" by a man on the same screen name claiming to be the real murderer who is telling them the way they described him was perfect, but after one person in the group is left and he suspects his teacher, he shoots his teacher only to find his friends safe and sound. They explain o him that it was only a prank they played on him the police come and arrest him. I suggest this movie to anyone who loves horror and suspense.
3- Sweeney Todd- The Demon Barber of Fleet Street by Tim Burton. This is another great movie. It tells the story of how Benjamin Barker became Sweeney Todd. After the judge sends Benjamin to jail for many years so that he can take his wife, he comes out of jail as the man Sweeney Todd. He plans to exact his revenge by killing the judge, and everyone else by slitting their throats while he is giving them a "shave". The dead bodies are also used for Mrs. Loveitt's meat pie shop.
2- It by Tommy Lee Wallace. This is the film adaptation of the Steven King novel with the same name. It is a monster named Pennywise the Clown. It terrorizes a group of young kids, but they try to fight back. They eventually are able to stop It, or so they think. After several years they are called to a little get together back at the old town, but as soon as they arrive things get just as bad as they were. It starts to terrorize everyone again. Blood filled balloons and several deaths involved until they can finally defeat it, who turns out to be a giant spider-like creature with a light on it's stomach that will stun you if you look into it.
1- Friday the 13th by Sean S. Cunningham. This is one of the granddaddies of horror. This is big. The movie has spawned over 10 sequels and horrible costumes for ten year olds. It follows new counselors at Camp Crystal Lake, a camp that had been closed for over twenty years due to a child being drowned and two counselors who were murdered the next year. The movie follows a twenty-four hour time period of murder and blood. You never get to see the killer until the end of the movie in the shape of Mrs. Voorhees, a "kind" old lady who shows up at the camp at night, but eventually tries to kill the last survivor. It is later revealed that the child who drowned was her son, Jason Voorhees. She is killing everyone because she blames them for the death of Jason. The movie was also filmed at the Boy Scout camp I go to every year, camp No-Be-Bosco.
