The 100 Best Horror Movies of All Time (Variety)

[RCMerchant]

^ The one I enjoyed the most, ironicly, is the one where Jason dies at the begining.
JASON GOES TO HELL (1993). (And that's not saying a lot.)
I know it ripped off the HIDDEN (1987), but it at least tried something different.

Seems like RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD (1985) should be on there. For me at least.
I mean "BRAINS!" has become part of our language. Like "Beam me up, Scotty."

I keep considering a rewatch of 5, which used to be among my least favorite entries.

it's definitely the most off the wall (translation: bats**t crazy) of the series. can see why it was probably met with derision at the time, but I like it

JASON X (in space) is surprisingly good as well, imo!

I recognize that most of our movies are on their list. Ours was a list of 25 and theirs is 100, and we know what we're talking about    so one would expect there to be overlap. Variety's rankings are warped and some of the films they include are as much of a red flag as the ones they omit. But again, I won't lose sleep over it, it's Variety and I have real problems to lose sleep over.

JASON X is the F13 I think of when I think of "madcap" or "gonzo", followed by GOES TO HELL and PART 3/3D. Those three are all bonkers and lots of fun imho.
