In Honor of Halloween

My list of the ten worst horror movies, in no particular order:

1.) Darkness - This movie made my list because of it's ridiculously asinine ending. (for more, see my December archives)
2.) Friday the 13th, parts 3 through 1,010 - Typical case of a decent first couple showings, which increasingly turn into a disaster with each new sequel. Been there, done that! And, can anything in the world be worse than Friday the 13th number 10 (Jason X), where Jason wakes up in the 25th century aboard a space ship??? Da fuk?
3.) Nightmare on Elm Street sequels 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7 - The first and original Nightmare on Elm Street was awesome and scary as hell and part 3 was pretty decent and brought Nancy back into the fray...all the other sequels were a pile of steaming horse poop, where Freddy went from creepy child killer to lousy stand-up comedian.
4.) Basically, any original Scifi channel movie, esp. the ones involving giant snakes and spiders.- No bust on Scifi...I watch it all the time and I do enjoy watching their retarded originals on weekends, but I'm really getting sick of giant bugs and snakes, which look about as realistic as a spray-painted piece of styrofoam.
5.) Attack of the Killer Tomatoes - need I say more?
6.) Any horror movie that plays on the tired storyline where a family moves into a haunted house and the dad slowly starts going psycho, the mom keeps denying the creepy things she's seeing, while the kids are talking to ghosts, and, in the end, the dad tries to murder his family with a hatchet or the like. Oh yeah, and the dad's always a frustrated writer who's come to the countryside to finally bang out a best seller on his antiquated type writer. *Yawn*
7.) Scream 2, 3, and 4 - because they're NOT horror movies...they're campy spoofs; they should almost be put in the comedy category.
8.) ALL of the Chucky sequels - Once again, the first (Child's Play) was a unique play at horror and everything that followed was a puke-worthy mess of poor humor and bad storylines. What could be worse than the bride of Chucky?...Chucky having a kid? BARF!!!!
9.) Book of Shadows, Blair Witch 2 - The first and original Blair Witch Project was a unique take that made for great scary movie material. This sequel squashed that uniqueness, going back to a regular movie type plot, which delivered one of the worst horror movies I've ever seen. Haven't we learned anything yet? NO sequels!
10.) oh GAWD! ALL OF THE DAMN LEPRECHUAN MOVIES! Dumbest of which has to be Leprechuan IV, Leprechuan in Space. Seems like every horror star needs to make it to space in one of his sequels. I'd really like to meet some of the idiots that think this is a good idea.

Well, I could actually go on and on and on with this list, but I'd rather not, so here's my list of the Best Horror Movies, in no particular order:

1.) Nightmare on Elm Street (the original one)
2.) Aliens
3.) Alien
4.) Prince of Darkness (1987)
5.) Halloween I and II
6.) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original)
7.) The Shining (even though the book is SOOOO MUCH BETTER than the movie, Jack Nicholson's performance is a cult classic)
8.) The Ring
9.) The Thing (1982)
10.) Dawn of the Dead (2004)
11.) Night of the Living Dead (the original, 1968)
12.) The Evil Dead (1981) (of course, the sequels SUCKED)
13.) 28 Days
14.) Hellraiser
15.) Hellbound, Hellraiser 2

OOops! I'm over 10!

Anyways, there are other movies I love, like Interview with a Vampire, Blade, and Alien vs. Predator, but I consider them to be less horror, more action (well, Interview is more drama).
