10. Pieces

[RussellManiac12]

Seems like a good October thread.

1. The Fearless Vampire Killers
2. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ('74)
3. The Shining
4. The Devil's Rejects
5. The Grapes of Death
6. The Beyond
7. The Crazies ('73) (Does this count as horror?)
8. Day of the Dead ('85)
9. Dawn of the Dead ('78)
10. Cannibal Holocaust

I don't think The Devil's Rejects is a horror movie. Violent, yes. Horror, no.

[RussellManiac12]

10. Pieces

It's only no. 10 because it's enjoyable mostly for the unintentional comedy.

No. 11 would have been Sleepaway Camp for the same reason.

I tend to avoid pure genre horror.

6. Let Me In

Is that the American version of Let the Right One In? Or am I thinking of something else? If you haven't seen the original I recommend it.

10. Cannibal Holocaust

I don't think The Devil's Rejects is a horror movie. Violent, yes. Horror, no.

I'd count it under the banner of being Exploitation/Sadistic Horror.

Yes - haven't seen the original yet.

That's a pretty good description.

A few years back I played one of the Resident Evil games through on Wii, mostly at night in the dark, and that scared me as much as any movie ever has honestly.

The first two Silent Hills were so great, too. Probably scarier than movies.

The Strain doesn't count
