My Favourite and Disappointing Horror Movies Of All Time: Friday 13th special

top horror movies

I was planning this post from a long time but thought none would be interested. “What does this beauty blogger know of horror films?” Well quite a lot actually. Its the only genre of movies I dont ever get bored of watching EVER. So today is Friday, the 13th and if I don’t write this today I will not write this ever. I think I’ve done a Ph.D when it comes to nail biting scary fiction. My brother and I watch one horror EVERY NIGHT, beat that! I don’t know how many google searches I’ve made for the “best horror”, “top 10 horror”, “award winning non zombie horror” only to be disappointed later. Sometimes I feel like chopping their heads off who think blood shed+action = horror and thereby waste our 2hrs! I think now I’m qualified enough to make one such list, it won’t disappoint you..promise!

Before we movie ahead first let me be very clear. What is NOT scary?

  • Stupid ashy white zombies with red perennial pimples all over the face.
  • Stupid skeletons dancing around the tress (I’m looking at you Evil Dead)
  • Man in black robes and hood carrying an axe.
  • Jaadu tona and mantar-shantar (thats what every single bollywood horror is comprised of)
  • Exorcism
Top Horror movies:
  • Rec 1 & 2 (a spanish movie shot in a documentary style. A building is quarantined with all the people inside. One by one they are effected by a strange virus which turns them into man-eaters but not like your regular zombies) Loveeee fear it!
  • Quarantine 1 & 2 (english remake of Rec. I first saw this and was so impressed that moved onto Rec)
  • 28 Weeks Later: Well the mass epidemic again! But in this whole of the Britain is effected with those beats running openly in the streets.
  • Dawn of the Dead (2004): again about the mass epidemic. Remake of the 70s series. Worth a watch.
Worth a watch (these are bound to scare you but its just there are others better than them)
  • 28 Days Later: not as good as its sequel but still worth a try.
  • Paranormal Activity: PA 3 was the best in the Paranormal Activity trilogy. Its the fear of unknown that keeps the movie going.
  • The Woman in Black (2012): I kept hallucinating about some black figure the whole night!
  • Mulberry Street (2006)
  • Slither (2006)
  • A Nightmare on the Elm Street (1984)
  • The Shining (1980)

Worst Horror Movies: Oh I can go and on. They wasted my nights when I wanted to be scared to the core. Simply over-rated.

  • Amityville Horror (2005): Once again a new house, new story
  • Friday, the 13 (2009): Ironic!
  • The Ring (2002)
  • The Pact (2012)
  • Saw series
  • Nigh of the Dead (2006)
  • Silence of the Lamb (1991): It was more of psycho thriller but it is listed under most “top 10” horrors. If you are looking to be scared then don’t watch otherwise it’s a good movie. 
  • The Crazies (2010)
  • Resident Evil
  • Halloween (2007)
  • Scream (2011)
  • Alien (1979)
  • The Last Exorcism (2010)
  • The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)
  • The Rite (2011)
  • The Omen (2006)
  • Orphan (2009)
  • Shutter series
These are only ones I can remember right now. See the no. of the failed movies I saw. Even the Rotten Tomatoes guys were disappointing in some cases. I’ve 3-4 movies already downloaded to watch this weekend. So bookmark this as I will keep updating the list.
Tip: See those movies only at night, otherwise it kills the fun :P
For now tell me your favourite horror movies?
