Best Horror Flick????
💃 😱 😈 death
You all have great films listed but you are missing a wealth of fright. The old classics are best. No special effects etc just good acting (for the most part). How can you deny that Lon, Bella, Boris and Vincent were the kings of horror. They set the stage for all the great flicks that are out today. The black and white films add to the mystic and fright element and somehow make it more creepy. They didn't need to show all the blood and gore (however I REALLY enjoy that). You had to use more imagination and your mind can sometimes be the scariest thing of all.
Out of this list I definitely choose Nightmare on Elmstreet! Al tough the principle has last some value trough the 6 sequels, not to mention Freddy shifting from really eerie murderer to sarcastic boogieman. Still this series started out phenomenal and has produced some very interesting sequels anyway.
The originality of the story, the effects, the absurdness and the legendary killer involved make these films, in my opinion, the icon of horror.
