It’s the start of A/W Fashion, pumpkin patches, murder mystery parties and an awesome excuse to scare myself silly, whilst binging on 3 for £1 sour sweets from Tesco!
Now, being a huge fan of horror movies I wasn’t going to let this time pass without sharing my top 10 horror flick countdown.
10) Psycho (1960)
Psycho is a cult classic, and really underrated today. During it's time it made waves with Alfred Hitchcock being dubbed the "the master of suspense". Now I'm not playing, this movie had me shook. Why? Because it has two of the most shocking scenes in movie history! Also who could forget that infamous shower scene *locks door*. Ranking a 6 on the Scare-O-Meter.
9) A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
What's worse than a creepy guy with knives for fingers trying to kill you while you dream? oh yeah! Nothing. A Nightmare on Elm street is not just scary due to Freddy Kruger's killing and taunting tendencies but it's also one of the best psychological horrors.
Many have lost sleep over the fear of Freddy paying them a visit!
Sleep he gets you....don't sleep and you go crazy.
It's a win win for him really. There are some quite disturbing stories behind why he goes after his victims. Also who doesn't want see a young and hot Johnny Deep?! Ranking? i'd give it a solid 7.5 on the Scare-O-Meter.
8) Scream (1996)
Now I don't know about you but ever since I watched this movie I have gone into intense vetting procedures with every guy I have dated. You can never be sure if the person you are dating loves you or is trying to kill you with his best mate, because your mum slept with his dad and made his mum leave...oops spoiler alert!
Scream has a lot of light hearted teen banter that is sure to have you laugh from time to time; but then other moments on the edge of your seat wondering when Mr Ghost Face will turn up again and what door you forgot to close that he is soon to make an appearance out of! Deffo one to watch. Ranking a 6.5 on the scare-O-Meter.
7) The Witches (1990)
You're telling lies if you say this movie didn't scare you as I kid! Not knowing if someone was a witch trying to turn you into a mouse or not. It's not the mouse part that gets to me though. It's women having a nurturing, caring sense about them; with this film that gets thrown out the window.
Creepy Twins, Redrum, Reincarnation vs Time travel, killer husband, haunted hotel......HERE'S JOHNNY....what else do you want me to say? Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick you're both crazy yet talented souls. This movie will have you scared and over thinking ish for the longest time! Rating 8.5 on the meter dudes!
5) I.T (1990)
Everyone knows that in horror everyone can get it. Personally I draw the line at kids and animals but some people like to over step the mark and depending how it's done I'm willing to accept it.
However a killer clown/ thing that can morph into your fears and something that only children can see...Yeah that's pretty damn scary really. I.T is one of those characters that lives on, terrorizing every generation that see's it (pun not intended).
I know most people will prefer the 2017 remake but I love originals and if it's not broke don't fix it in my opinion. Ranking a solid 9 for me, fight me if you disagree!
4) Paranormal Activity 3 (2011)
I've never really been a big fan of the paranormal activity movies; but there is no denying that the 3rd one scared me to the point where i thought i was gonna wet myself.
It's when they involve kids man...my heart just can't take it. The suspense is what gets me the most. Also the fact she was talking to someone we couldn't visibly see was enough to have me turn off the TV and walk away. Getting a 9 on the Scare-O-Meter.
I remember being at school and our teacher letting us watch this at the end of term. I have now been scarred for life. The teacher probably hated us all and wanted to mess with us. I always find that movies with a background story to the disasters tend to scare me more. This movie knows how to give the right amount of scare and the right amount of suspense. Getting a 7.5 on the Scare-O-Meter.
2) Jeepers Creepers (2001)
Another Horror that scared me senseless as a kid was Jeepers Creepers.
Maybe it's because i was young.
Maybe it's because i watched it on my own or maybe it's because a guy with wings started killing people, eating their tongues and eyes and taking them back to his cave to feed on. Nope, Nope and Nope! No Thank you! Jeepers creepers you get a 9.5!
1) Halloween (1978 + 2018)
Halloween has always been my ultimate favorite Halloween movie. The killer that stalks the baby sitters and just kills for killing sake. He doesn't talk or taunt his victims and he doesn't run; but somehow he managers to out smart them every damn time!
Having weird super human strength that even bullets can't penetrate. Michael Myers you are the original slasher OG. Even this years remake was dope! I had to cover my eyes and ears. 1978 version would get a 6.5; 2018 would get a 9 on the Scare-O-Meter.
What horror movies do you guys like or think i should watch?
Do you disagree with my list? What would you add in? Let me know in the comments below and Happy Halloween Dudes!
