Holiest of Horrors

The best horror movies of all time? Got them right here for you.

1. The Evil Dead - Because they take a mix of horror and evil and then out of the blue, add comedy. Take for instance the laughing evil girl in the living room. =) That's funny.

2. Psycho - Because I think Anthony Perkins did an amazing job at making the audience think that his mother was some evil woman that lived upstairs and never came down. It's one of the best in my book.

3. Grindhouse (Deathproof & Planet Terror) - Great double feature movie. Great one. Planet Terror has to be one of the best action packed/thrill tactic movies of the past 10 years. Come on, a woman with a machine gun leg? You gotta love it.

4. Misery - Kathy Bates! Come on, who doesn't love a big woman torturing some deluded, worn out, and popular writer? I think we all have a little bit of Annie Wilkes in us. =)

5. Saw 1,2,3,4,5 - The whole series is just an amazing take on things. Given, I could have came up with better ways to get a key out of a jar of acid. Overall, it's a great series.

6. 28 Weeks Later - amazing thrill seeker. When you least expect an infected to be around, he is. This movie is also sad at the same time, being that children's own father had turned into one of them. The best scene of the whole movie is when the children's mother is strapped to the table and can't move because she is infected but she's still sane, and the father goes in to see her and she's so pissed at him for leaving her behind in the house to get bit by one of the zombies. She bites him to make him insane and then he goes crazy and tears into her. Greatest scene of the whole movie.

7. Stir of Echoes - This is a great movie that will leave you guessing. You find out what's happening as soon as the main character does. Love how the little boy got involved in it all, talking the dead girl. Only he can see her and it nearly drives Kevin Bacons character over the edge. I recommend having this one on DVD.

8. House on Haunted Hill (1999) - Awesome how this movie came together. The beginning is where all the magic starts. At the opening credits you see the wall and there's Marilyn Manson's song "Sweet Dreams" playing and the whole movie just left me gasping for more.

9. Re-Animator - This has to be one of the best movies for Gore of all time. It will turn your stomach but make you laugh and cry at the same time. It sends chills all over you.

10. The Ninth Gate - I say this movie because it has an amazing outline to it all. Missing pages to the book 'The Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows' which in the movie is said to be written by the devil. Great ending.

Well, that's my list, hope you enjoy it and take my advice on a lot of these. Keep the thrills coming, and the blood spilling. =)
