So, I have been working on this for the past few weeks. I used Flick Chart to help with the rankings and it worked out nicely.
Darren had told me about it a few years back and I played around with it for a bit then simply forgot about it until my vacation during the holidays. I decided to finish it and now share it on here. There are still some movies near the bottom half that I would probably moved around a bit more but overall I am pleased with the results.
So here is my official top 50 horror films list:
1. The Thing
2. Black Christmas (1974)
3. Prince of Darkness

Very nice. I see Barbarian is one of your favorite horror flicks 'o the times. I watch my physical copy of it nightly.

Re: Laz's Top 50 Horror Films
Ok, I'll bite, what on earth did you like about House by the Cemetery? That entire thing is Balls Mahoney and Axl Rotten. That is the only one that is completely incomprehensible to me to crack a top 20 and easily a giant skidmark on your upper echelon.

Re: Laz's Top 50 Horror Films
it’s a bloody film but mostly it’s the nostalgia. It’s one of the earliest horror movies I remember seeing when I was younger. The opening scene where the girl is stabbed in the back of the head has always stuck with me since the first time I watched it.Reign in Blood wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 5:08 pm Ok, I'll bite, what on earth did you like about House by the Cemetery?

Re: Laz's Top 50 Horror Films
Hard to rank a nostalgia flick. I have many that really aren't that good but they just strike a cord in your young nerve and it never goes away.

Re: Laz's Top 50 Horror Films
Yeah. Like Jig and The Night Flier, if only a good flick was on that night for him.

Re: Laz's Top 50 Horror Films
I liked the Night Flier. Not the best flick but the vampire looked cool imo.
