SHAUN OF THE DEAD:
My absolute favourite movie of all time. As far as horror and comedy goes, this film sits comfortably at the top of both lists for me. Shaun of The Dead is nothing short of brilliant. Witty, vulgar hilarity, relatable characters, and a few real tearjerker scenes are stitched together masterfully against the backdrop of a zombie apocalypse by Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg.
“How’s that for a slice of fried gold?”

THE EXORCIST:
When it comes to truly scary films, nothing tops The Excorcist for me. The first time I saw it as a kid was riveting, and the memory of it is still vivid in my mind. I had nightmares for weeks. The head-twisting. The rotten, lacerated flesh. That god awful backwards stair-crawling. Even now the mental images make my skin crawl.
“Your mother’s in here, Karras. Would you like to leave a message? I’ll see that she gets it.”

THE RING:
The Ring is to me what Jaws is to the generations before me. The movie that developed a completely irrational fear within me that stuck around way longer than it should have. It’s a genuinely scary, incredibly unique premise that hits all the right chords for me.
“Seven days.”

THE DESCENT:
Being a bit clausterphobic, this one hits me on all kinds of levels. Watching a group of people decide to willingly traverse into a giant, black hole in the ground is enough to induce anxiety ridden dread for me, but then to find out they’re surrounded by a pack of blind, cannibalistic vampire-type monsters is just straight up unnerving. The Descent does a fantastic job of bridging the gap between rational human fear and horror-fiction.

28 DAYS LATER:
With all respect to George Romero, it was Danny Boyle that made zombies truly horrifying. By rooting the genre in a more realistic setting; making it a Rabies-like virus that afflicts people with bloodthirsty rage, suddenly it didn’t feel like such an outlandish concept, and the movie is all the more scarier for it.
“No, see this is a really shit idea. You know why this is a shit idea? Because it’s really obviously a shit idea.”

THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT:
One of the first horror films I was introduced to, and one that will always stick out for me. It really had quite a profound effect, and not just on me, but also on the notion of what a horror film is and can be. The marketing scheme used was a game-changer, styling the film and promoting it in a way that suggested it was real, and it had a real psychological impact on the audience. It’s a bold move to leave the visual of the “horror” completely up to the minds-eye of the audience, and I think it’s one of the only films to ever truly pull it off.

CLOWN:
This one kind of flew under the radar, but it’s a wicked take on the whole “scary clown” bit. Not much to say here, it’s just a great horror film that I really enjoyed. If you’re creeped out by clowns and into horror films, this is definitely worth the watch.
“Kid, we have to kill your father.”

RE-ANIMATOR:
Although it may not have made my list historically, I went back and watched Re-Animator after Stuart Gordon recently passed away. I forgot just how clever and funny and creepy it is, in a way that only a horror film can warrant. If it weren’t for Re-Animator, I’m not sure I’d appreciate films like the one at the top of this list as much. A classic and must-watch if you’ve never seen it.
