Most I've purchased because I liked them so much:
1)
The Barrens - Best ending ever. I think I'll watch it again, tonight.
2) The original
Invasion of The Body Snatchers (the one with Kevin McCarthy - saw it as a kid - gave me the creeps). Don't think the remakes were as good.
3)
The Howling - Again, the original with Dee Wallace and Patrick McNee. Another good ending movie.
4)
The Omen (the one with Gregory Peck was great, the remake stunk) and
Omen 2 (with William Holden) This Omen also wins on horror music
5)
The Mothman Prophesies - Have been to WV twice and keep forgetting to see the statue. You know who was really good in this movie? - Will Patton - He's in a lot of movies I like, like No Way Out and The Punisher.
6)
The Wicker Man - The original with Edward Woodward from 1973 - The remake was awful.
7)
The Night of The Living Dead The black and white one made in 1968 - The remake was awful.
8)
The Grudge - Sarah Michelle Geller one.
9)
Psycho - My mother
and grandmother
took me and my younger sister to see it in the theater when we were in grade school.
Who does that? My sister is now in her 60's and I think she still keeps the light on at night.
10)
Empire of The Ants - The cheesiest horror movie I ever liked.
11)
P.I.N. I've only seen this movie once. I don't know why it hasn't been on TV more.
12)
They Live!
13)
Orphan
14)
The Sentinel Gates of hell kind of movie. The one with Christina Raines and Chris Sarandon.
15)
The Devil's Advocate Pacino and Keanu Reeves
I did see a movie I do not know the name of. I think it took place in Australia. It was a torture movie out in the desert. The movie ending just did me in. I'm sorry I just don't remember the name of it.
I would also like to make a case for the original
Jaws as a horror movie. I first saw it in the movie theater on Long Island where there was standing room only so my then husband and I (we were in our early 20s) sat on the carpeted floor in the aisle. The first time the shark appeared, the man in one of the seats on the aisle near us jumped up in the air clear out of his seat. I had never seen anything like that and still have never seen anything like it.
I didn't like The Exorcist or Silence of the Lambs - I thought they were too talky. The Sixth Sense was a good quality movie but I don't think it was scary.
