What are your favorite horror movies? Not the best or the best series or the best of any particular sub-genre, but your personal favorites (good and/or bad).
Any amount with or without any reason with or without an order is fine.


My top 11 in no order:

1. Creepshow - (1982) [My all-time favorite movie in general as well!]

2. Dead Alive - (1992)

3. A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors - (1987)

4. French Title: Ils English Title: Them - (2006) [The scariest movie I've ever seen!]

5. The Omen - (1976) [The first movie to scare me! It gave me nightmares for weeks! I was in 8th grade.]

*6. House on Haunted Hill - (1959) [So much fun!]

*7. The Abominable Dr. Phibes - (1971) [Perfect tagline =  "Love means never having to say, "You're ugly"]

8. Scream - (1996)

9. The Hills Have Eyes - (2006)

10. Killer Klowns from Outer Space - (1988)

11. The Thing - (1982)

*My 2 favorite Vincent Price movies!

Alien and Aliens are my two all-time favorites.  I've seen them so many times that when I start watching them now,  I realize I've got them memorized and I have to turn them off  TeddyR  Alien 3 was good as well;  I've never seen the extended director's cut of it, but it's next up on my Netflix queue.

Friday the 13th part 2 - my idea of the perfect slasher. 
Jason X - Great fun.
Sorority House Massacre 2:  Nighty Nightmare - Definitely recommend a few adult beverages with this.  Awesome cheese fest.
Exorcist The Beginning - very suspenseful movie.  Kept me on the edge of me seat throughout.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003 remake with Jessica Biel) - very intense and effective horror movie.  Really achieved scariness!

There are a whole ton of horror movies that I like, but they don't quite rate high enough to make it on a list.

There's too many to list them all but I tend to like movies that feature monsters, be they the classic Universal Monsters (probably my favourite group of films period - Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, The Bride, The Mummy, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Invisible Man, The Phantom of the Opera, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Ygor, The Wolf Man), the Hammer cycle of Monsters (New takes on Frankenstein's Monster, Dracula, the Werewolf and new monsters like the Gorgon and the Reptile), the Toho Monsters (Godzilla et al), The Slasher Monsters (Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, Jason Vorhees, Chucky, Leatherface, Norman Bates), the giant 1950s atomically mutated or reawakened Monsters (Them!, The Beast From 20000 Fathoms, the Black Scorpion, etc.), Science Fiction style alien monsters (Alien, Predator, It! The Terror From Beyond Space, Body Snatchers, Invaders From Mars, The Thing, etc.) and even those who feature more psychological style Horrors (of the mind/body) (Carnival of Souls, Repulsion, Seconds, Videodrome).

Wow. Tough one, but here goes:

Maniac (1980)
Dawn Of The Dead (original)
Hospital Massacre
Shivers
Just Before Dawn
Return Of The Living Dead
Demons
Don't Look In The Basement
Truth Or Dare: A Critical Madness

Apologies if there's too many "great" ones, but I'm really racking my brain here....

I'm sure there's many, many others I forgot about

I can't think of them all, but here's a few:

Valentine's Day (original)
Creepshow
Dawn of the Dead (original, although the remake isn't all that bad if you don't think of it as trying to be like Romero's film)
Hellraiser (I just watched this recently after being asked to help work on a fan comic and...well...I think I'm in love...)
Scream (can only watch it occasionally, though)
Return of the Living Dead
Friday the 13th 6 and 7 (I know they're stupid and don't fit with the first couple of movies [which I also enjoy], but for me they're so bad they're good)


I'm planning to branch out my horror viewing experience, so there'll be more diverse titles on that list in time.
