I love the first Silent Night, but the 2nd... meh. I know it's kind of a so-bad-it's-good flick with all the flashbacks. BUt it bugged me.

Y'all like Christmas Evil?

Ohhhhh......it's bad.  But, it is the king of one liners.  You gotta love it for the comedy.  Never seen Christmas Evil or Santa's Slay.

Christmas Evil is great. See it!

Santa's Slay is... funny.

Jack Frost is awesome (Shannon Elizabeth attacked by snowman's carrot awesome). Haha.

I finally got around to watching V/H/S.

It is pretty good, but nowhere near the expectations I had for it. Very interesting for what they did within the constraints of the found-footage format, but also rife with decades old horror movie cliches. Good mix of fun and disturbing. You could do much worse I guess.

I must have missed this thread back in Oct.  I love a great horror flick. 
My favorites are normally odd for others:
The Exorcist 1 & 3, Bereavement, Session 9, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, 28 Days Later, Spider Baby (1968), The Omen, The Baby's Room (Italian), Nosferatu (1922), Otis, Turistas, and so many others.

The Shining, The Exorcist, and The Thing are all movies I love but I never think of them as horror so much as good movies.

Good movies tend to transcend being labeled just by their genre and all three of those fit.  When was the last time someone refered to Citizen Kane by it's genre?

I've got a decent sized DVD collection and I'd say half of them are horror movies.  A lot of them fall into the "so bad it's good" territory and my favorite of those kind has to be Puppet Master.  I coud watch that movie every day of my life.

I always struggle with naming a favorite horror movie, but I guess my top three would probably be The Thing (of course), Dawn of the Dead, and In the Mouth of Madness.  Of course that list tends to change depending on what mood I'm in.

Interesting, I never thought of Mulholland Drive as horror. I always considered it a thriller/mystery. Will need to watch it again to see if it has horror elements

I was thinking the same thing. Although several Lynch films kind of border on the fringe of horror, I'd really never consider them as such.

I've had arguments with my friend about movie genres. He says that Silence of the Lambs isn't a horror.

also, Jaws used to be considered a horror, but now I think most people would consider it suspense/thriller. Alien was considered a horror for a long time but I imagine most would think "sci-fi" now.

I consider a horror to be any movie that is designed to scare the viewer.

Getting pumped up for my weekly horror movie fest in October!  I'll probably be announcing the films soon.

I love that we have one thread that gets bumped annually.

Be back soon to post some new ones. Need some time to think.

Two that I've seen more recently that I'd recommend are The Babadook and It Follows.

It Follows was so good stylistically but I'm in the camp of viewers who couldn't get past that fact that the movie breaks its own rules pretty frequently.

Not disagreeing, just curious about what you're referring to.
