My Favorite Horror Films

Freddy Krueger = the greatest slasher film villain of all time.

God, this movie is so good. I could watch it a thousand times, and the ending would still have me on the edge of my seat every time. Great performance by Kevin Spacey.

My favorite Burton film!

A near-perfect film. So much better than the sequels/prequels that succeeded it. Anthony Hopkins' performance as Hannibal Lecter is one of the most powerful in cinematic history, and he's only onscreen for a total of seventeen minutes.

The first is the best.

Nowhere near as good as Silence of the Lambs but still pretty enjoyable, in a disgusting sort of way. Anthony Hopkins is always awesome as Hannibal Lecter.

The second-best Nightmare movie after the original. I wish they'd make more like this... Freddy was actually scary for a change.

Incredibly atmospheric and visually creepy silent vampire film. The primitive special effects and overall agedness of Nosferatu work to make it seem especially eerie when compared to more modern horror.

Absolutely brilliant.

A well-written and atmospheric little Victorian horror drama. Features probably Karloff's best performance next to the Frankenstein monster.

I would have given this film three stars, but Bela and (especially) Boris bump it up a notch. Great, creepy acting and atmosphere make up for a slightly ridiculous story.
