Favorite Horror movies

[Sparky]

Some of these might not strictly count as horror but here we go, in no particular order:

The Ring
I'd like to say that my favorite horror film is a well-respected or even obscure classic, but no. The American Ring (the first one, the second one was crap IMHO) still scares the hell out of me every time I see it and causes me to fear the TV in my bedroom for several days. I can honestly say that The Ring is the only film I've ever seen that actually *leaves* me scared, it doesn't just scare me while I'm watching it. I was mentally scarred by seeing this movie. Seriously. It's the best. I do own copies of every Ring movie, American, Japanese, and Korean, as well as all the mangas and the novels, and only the American Ring movie really scares me. The Ring 0 does well, but its nothing like the American Ring. period.

Re-Animator
I saw the unedited version of this with GM at a midnight showing downtown one Halloween, and lol. Some gross stuff in there. I keep looking for a DVD of the unedited version with no luck. Anyways this is on my list because West rules and because of the shock factor. The sequels suck but the "Re-Animate Your Feet" song from the last one has made it onto my iPod.

Evil Dead
ALL of these films rule. Especially the second one, and Army of Darkness of course is nothing to sneeze at. And I'm in love with Bruce Campbell there I said it.

Waxwork II
The first one was a snore but the second one is great. They didn't hold back on making fun of themselves which is always a plus.

Bubba Ho-Tep
A mummy in a retirement home. Sucking souls out of people's buttholes. Hunted by Elvis and JFK (if you will). With Bruce Campbell as Elvis. No movie should be made of this much win. I finally scored the soundtrack two days ago too. The end theme is the BEST.

Lost Skeleton of Cadavra
ROTFLMAO. Just...yeah. "I sleep now!"

Tremors
Well, it's a monster movie so I listed it. Some good ole boys go hunting giant worms in the desert. I really love this one. Number two is good too. Then it just got a little out there. But one and two are good.

Bloodsucking Pharaohs In Pittsburgh
Gory but quite funny. The cheesy detective is awesome, I should re-watch this and jot down some of his lines.

Lobster Man from Mars
Narrated by Dr. Demento. Should I even bother saying anything else?

Return of the Living Dead
I admit that I love this movie. The part where dead Frank takes off his wedding ring and voluntarily cremates himself...awesomeness. Say what you will.

The Eye and The Eye 2
Two fantastic films out of China by the Pang brothers (The Eye is an upcoming American remake). Actually completely unrelated plots, I think they only called the second one The Eye 2 to take advantage of the first one's success. Both highly recommended.

The Fly
Both versions, although I prefer the original. Most women in classic horror films are such weenies, I love the scientists' wife in the original Fly. Oh and the trailer scares Kiwi because of the buzzing fly sound effect. So it must really be scary!

This list was compiled only by looking at the DVDs I own, I'm probably forgetting some others I love. I mean, I do like the Child's Play films, and the second one is my favorite although it doesn't get much airtime on TV. I'll probably have to break down and buy them all at some point. There are also individual scenes in films I like without liking the whole movie...like the bit where the British dude gets it in Horror Express and right before he dies he exclaims "You can't kill me! I'm British!" or something like that. That's like, lol?
