13th Child: Legend of the Jersey Devil (2002,  R)
13th Child: Legend of the Jersey Devil
This is one of the only movies about the Jersey Devil that I know of. Too bad it wasn't a good movie. The only thing scary about this one was the ending credits showing this movie as being "Volume 1". If they're planning on making a sequel to this crap - that's scary!
2
Abominable (2006,  R)
Abominable
This film was definitely Abominable. A good premise was totally wasted by having almost the entire movie set in two cabins in the woods. As someone who is currently working on a horror screenplay about Bigfoot, this was a total disappointment. Definitely a low-budget clunker.

Anacondas - The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004,  PG-13)
Anacondas - The Hunt for the Blood Orchid
Giant snakes eating pretty people . . . what's not to like about that? Goofy, but fun and harmless entertainment.
4
Deep Blue Sea (1999,  R)
Deep Blue Sea
Giant killer super-sharks eating people. Great effects, and not too badly acted. I like it!
5
Dèmoni (Demons) (1985,  Unrated)
Dèmoni (Demons)
This is one of the only Argento films that I really like. A great 80's metal soundtrack, and a lively story that doesn't mess around too much.
6
The Descent (2006,  R)
The Descent
I had trouble with this movie. First off, the characters are almost indistinguishable from each other, so I had a real hard time figuring out who was dead and who was alive when the carnage began. Also, everything was so dark, it was hard to figure out what was happening when the action started. And then, our heroines are attacked by CHUD's! I don't know - not a great movie.
7
Doctor Blood's Coffin (1961,  Unrated)
Doctor Blood's Coffin
Pretty average horror film about a mad doctor trying to re-animate the dead. Beautiful scenery and some decent performances save this one from being too awful.
8
Eight Legged Freaks (2002,  PG-13)
Eight Legged Freaks
This is a supremely goofy giant bug film but I like it. The spiders are very entertaining, and the movie is fast-paced and doesn't disappoint.
9
El Chupacabra (2003,  R)
El Chupacabra
This is one of those horror films that is so horrendously bad, that it is quite good. The creature makeup and sfx weren't actually too bad, but the script and the acting was terrible! There were so many unintentional laughs in this one, that it really should have been a comedy! Bad as it is, I cannot trash it as it entertained and greatly amused me.
10
The Evil Dead (1981,  NC-17)
The Evil Dead
One of the best independent horror films of all time. I love Sam Raimi, I love Bruce Campbell, I love the unrelenting gore, and I love the bad acting. This movie has it all!!!!!!
11
Evil Dead 2 (1987,  R)
Evil Dead 2
Awesome sequel, but not quite up to the sheer lunacy of the original. Still highly recommended though!
12
Army of Darkness (1993,  R)
Army of Darkness
I love the fact that Sam Raimi took his horror opus and turned in a completely different direction with this one. What a hilariously overacted monstrosity of a movie. Definitely a "B" classic.
13
Feast (2005,  R)
Feast
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I loved the fact that there were no dull moments. This thing was action-packed and chock full of gore. I wish there were more films like this coming out, instead of all the crappy Japanese remake shit that seems to be constantly churned out of Hollywood.
14
Frankenfish (2004,  R)
Frankenfish
Dumb, but fun film about mutated fish that eat people. I love this type of crappy movie!
15
Hellraiser (1987,  R)
Hellraiser
This was a very original movie in its day, and is still quite good, even with the sometimes cheesy-looking special effcts. Amazingly, it follows very closely to the original novella that it was based on. It's too bad Clive Barker didn't direct more movies.
16
The Killer Shrews (1959,  Unrated)
The Killer Shrews
This is completely ridiculous, campy fun. Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane has to fight a pack of dogs wearing stupid costumes, that try to pass as shrews! It is really so bad, it must be seen to be believed.
17
Lake Placid (1999,  R)
Lake Placid
Lots of fun with a giant crocodile eating stupid humans. The script actually has a decent sense of humor and never takes itself seriously. Where is Steve Irwin when you need him?
18
Leeches (,  R)
Leeches
Crappy low-budget shlock that never should ave been made. Pretty teenagers getting eaten by giant leeches. Yawn.
19
The Little Shop of Horrors (,  R)
20
The Mist (2007,  R)
The Mist
This was one of the better adaptations of one of Stephen King's stories. In fact, I hated the crappy ending to the short story, but loved the definitive ending that Darabont gave to this movie. Sure, it's a downer, but it made sense and brought everything to a satisfying finish. Also, there is a great atmosphere in this film and some fantastic creature effects. Some good gory scenes, too.
21
Monster Island (2004,  Unrated)
Monster Island
Carmen Electra abducted by giant insects. Yep, this is as good as it sounds.
22
Night of the Demons (1998,  R)
Night of the Demons
Definitely not a great movie, but I've suffered through a lot worse than this. It's pretty much what I expect from an 80's horror flick - gratuitous nudity, terrible acting, and a stupid story with lots of pretty people getting killed. On that score, it does deliver.
23
Nightbreed (1990,  R)
Nightbreed
I like this one because I love Clive Barker's works, but the ending is just a little too loud and obnoxious. It really detracts from the real horror potential this movie could have had.
24
Open Water (2004,  R)
Open Water
Pretty ho-hum attempt at making "Blair Witch" on the water. Shark Week on Discovery channel is much more entertaining.
25
Phenomena (Creepers) (1985,  R)
Phenomena (Creepers)
Another weird and not very good Argento flick. Some people like it, but it's just not my cup of tea.
26
Piñata: Survival Island (Demon Island) (2001,  R)
Piñata: Survival Island (Demon Island)
This movie is a riot. Evil pinata comes to life to kill beautiful college co-eds. It doesn't get much dumber than this, folks! Still, there are some cool effects by the same guys who did "Killer Klowns from Outer Space".
27
Porno Holocaust (1981,  Unrated)
Porno Holocaust
Unintentionally hilarious mixture of hard-core porn, soft-core porn, and horror. I was literally laughing out loud at the terrible dialogue and the ridiculous setups for the next sex scene. It's hard to believe that movies like this were released as mainstream cinema, and not as backroom porno flicks.
28
Reeker (2005,  Unrated)
Reeker
I thought this movie was great! For once, the twist ending finally made sense and brought the movie to an acceptable conclusion. I know the acting was substandard and the plot was relatively simplistic, but so what? This was a great example of a well-done bad movie. And I love a well-made piece of shlock. I definitely recommend this one!
29
The Relic (1997,  R)
The Relic
I like this one. It's not really scary, but the monster looks amazing. Besides, Hollywood doesn't make many monster movies any more - but they darn well should!
30
The Ruins (2008,  R)
31
Scarecrows (1988,  R)
Scarecrows
This is what I loved about 80's horror films. The creators took a silly idea and crafted a decent little creepshow out of it. The acting is not the best I've seen, but the story moves along at a good pace, the scarecrows are very spooky-looking, and the gore scenes are excellent. Some of the dialogue is very funny also. It's definitely worth a look, and isn't a bad way to spend 90 minutes of your time.
32
Snake Island (2002,  R)
Snake Island
Very cheesy throwaway flick about stupid people getting terrorized and killed by snakes on a remote island. Harmless enough, but certainly not great!
33
Snakes on a Plane (2006,  R)
Snakes on a Plane
Despite the Hollywood hype, this one was a lot of fun. The cast had a great energy and the CGI snakes were all kinds of fun to watch. I would definitely watch this one numerous times. A great way to spend an hour and 45 minutes.
34
The Village (2004,  PG-13)
The Village
Oh, M. Night Shymalan, why do you do this to us? I actually liked this story at first, with the mysterious creatures in the woods and all that stuff. But when I got that stupid twist ending thrown at me, I could have thrown something at the TV. Crap!
35
The Wasp Woman (Insect Woman) (The Bee Girl) (1959,  R)
The Wasp Woman (Insect Woman) (The Bee Girl)
More cheesy low-budget monster action. I live for this special kind of crap! Watch it - it's good for a giggle or two and its a harmless way to waste an hour and a half.
36
Wes Craven Presents Wishmaster (1997,  R)
Wes Craven Presents Wishmaster
This wasn't too bad a premise, and the end result wasn't too bad either. Just don't expect anything memorable from this film.
37
Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies (1999,  R)
Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies
The first one was only so-so and not worthy of a sequel. This is the unworthy sequel. Dumb story, but it's quite funny to see some guys basement trying to pass itself off as a major Las Vegas casino!
38
WIthIN (The Cavern) (2006,  R)
WIthIN (The Cavern)
Another film about cavers in an undiscovered cave system, who find something nasty that shouldn't have been disturbed. Very ho-hum with an unsatisfactory ending.
