Some Great Horror Movies

When you're trying to decide what to watch and nothing seems good a horror movie is always a good choice. Some of these are my faves, others just well made movies, all are worth watching. Enjoy.

Ju On (2000): The Japanese version of The Grudge and not quite as popular. If you haven't seen either, I definitely recommend watching it first. One of my personal favorites.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984): A classic for a reason. Robert Englund might possibly be the best horror actor ever. Plus you can watch it an unlimited amount of times. Unfortunately they got sillier and sillier.

Se7en (1995): Just a creepy movie all the way through. The vibe is unnerving even when nothing is really happening. And Kevin Spacey is awesome in it.

Diary of the Dead (2007): All of George Romero's movies are great but this one is my favorite. He managed to make a movie about addiction to technology into a horror film. Not an easy task.

IT (1990): This was the first horror movie I watched. I was about 9 and it scared the crap out of me. Not quite the same if you first watch it as an adult but still entertaining.

Red Dragon (2002): Now i know most people think Silence of the Lambs is the best, and its a great film but I'm preferential to this one. Just as creepy but with few slower moments.

Last House on the Left: Either the 1972 original or the 2009 remake. I usually stick with originals being better but this original is a little silly. However it was a great revenge movie.

Scream (1996): Maybe not a pick of many horror fans but it revitalized the genre and gave us something we really hadn't seen before. Plus the beginning scene is definitely creepy.

The Orphanage (2008): This is a very well made movie. It is in Spanish so if you don't speak it make sure your up for reading the subtitles. Keeps you wondering til the end.

Aliens (1986): I figured I would end the list with another classic. In my opinion its way better than the first, and even if you don't agree its still a great film.
