Favorite horror movie? (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 2 months ago by friek@sh.itjust.works to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

It's horror movie season in the US and my favorite type is zombies. I also love campy B movies. Watching Dead Snow 2 right now and I think it ranks up there with Shawn of the Dead and Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness.

What is your top pick for whatever genre?

The Devils Rejects.

House of 1000 Corpses and 3 From Hell are alright, but Devils Rejects is my favorite. I can't hear Midnight Rider or Freebird without thinking about this movie.

I wish 3 From Hell was better, but it was nice to have more. The Devil’s Rejects and House of 1000 Corpses I ABSOLUTELY LOVED.

RIP Sid Heig

I actually liked devil's rejects more than House of 1000 corpses. Rob zombie has a tendency to dip his toes into the torture porn type of horror genre from time to time and I think house of 1000 corpses had too much of that going on with it for my own taste.

You like em tongue-in-cheek? You might try Chopping Mall (1986). Shopping mall management invests in a killer robot security system. A group of horny teens decides to spend the night there, but a lightning storm takes out the main killer robot controller! It's funny, a little gory, has topless men and women, and it's hilarious. A spook night favorite of mine.

I remember enjoying this. I need to re watch it because I can't remember most of the highlights.

The 1922 Nosferatu.

Midsommer is my favorite. A slow, realistic slide into horror.

GYO Tokyo Fish Attack. Body horror is a great genre that doesn’t come around very often without looking kind of cheesy so it helps being animation.

The Fly is another great example of the genre. Such an excellent movie with a sad ending to top it off.

Not my favourite but Sleepaway Camp is an absolute classic of so-bad-its-good 80s horror with an unforgettable ending.

The original Night of the living Dead is way up there for vanilla zombie horror. 28 days later for modern zombies.

Thankskilling and Jack Frost for B movie holiday horror.
