I wanted to compare what I think of as my essential horror dvd list that any self-respecting fan should own with others'. Apologies if its been done before, but, you know, with another Saw entry arriving soon people's lists may be subject to change. I'm kidding. About the Saw part. And lots of essential thrillers aren't on my horror list. And there's lots of horror I love that's not here. Anyway, here's mine: Silents: Phantom of the Opera ('25) Nosferatu Cabinet of Dr. Caligari Metropolis (I have Kino editions of these, but have been eyeing that newest Nosferatu) Universal Dracula Legacy Frankenstein Legacy The Mummy Legacy Invisible Man Legacy Wolf-man Legacy Creature from the Black Lagoon Legacy The Bela Lugosi Collection The Old Dark House (Kino) Warners./MGM Legends of Horror Freaks RKO The Val Lewton Box Hammer Warner's 6 disc Box Universal Hammer Horror Series Icons of Horror: Hammer Films Dracula, Prince of Darkness Anchor Bay Plague of the Zombies Anchor Bay Revenge of Frankenstein (Columbia) Fall of the House of Usher Night of the Living Dead (Genius Products Edition) Carnival of Souls (Criterion) The Haunting Rosemary's Baby The Exorcist (25th Anniversary Edition) Suspiria Carrie The Shining (Kubrick) Halloween (the Dean Cundey approved Anchor Bay edition) Phantasm Nightmare on Elm Street (Infinifilm edition) Videodrome (Criterion) The Dead Zone The Fly (2 disc Cronenberg, of course) Dawn of the Dead (1978) (2nd Anchor Bay release) Black Sunday (Anchor Bay) Jaws (30th Anniversary) Poltergeist (25th Anniversary) Beetlejuice Sleepy Hollow Bram Stoker's Dracula (Collector's Edition) Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Blair Witch Project Evil Dead (non-smelly-latex THX Anchor Bay Edition) Evil Dead II (See Above) Army of Darkness (Anchor Bay Edition) Silence of the Lambs (MGM edition) (And oh, yes, I'll say it:) Scream What do you think? What am I missing? Last Edited By: happydude33 10/23/08 11:29 AM. Edited 10 times.

(10/22/08 2:54 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite	thanks, fellas! I forgot and will add: The Haunting and Freaks. Lots of sci-fi stuff will be forthcoming on my Essential Sci-Fi list where those 50's movies get their due. And King Kong, Night of the Hunter, and most Hitchcocks are essential no matter how you cut it. I'm just not sure I wanna call them horror, but definitely agree.

(10/25/08 6:41 AM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite	For me if your gonna mention Halloween than you have to include part 2 which is really like watching one long movie. I love part 2. Micheal is still very menacing and the dreadful atmsophere is perfect, The after everyone has gone home but a few scragglers on Halloween feeling is errie. You know it is late but you not sure how late. The music remains to provoke tension as Strode is trapped in those long lonely hospital halls. Death..... you don't know what death is Really, since you didn't put a cap on how many horror movies then one could mention alot of great horror movies that I feell are essential for a horror movie fan. The Fly (1958) The Masque of the Red Death The Texas Chainsaw Massacre The Omen and Damien Friday the 13th part 1 and 2 Return of the Living Dead Pet Sematary In the Mouth of Madness The Ring
