Horror for beginners........
Now lets say somebody is just getting into horror movies. What movies do you guys think would be prerequisite viewing? Basically.......what movies should all horror fans see.
Not about which movies are you're favorites.......hell, you may be a zombie buff but that doesn't mean that a person must see all the zombie movies you like to be a hardcore horror fan. Let's try to mix it up a bit.
Here's my list:
Night of the Living Dead (original)
Night of the Living Dead (remake w/ Tony Todd)
The Omen
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Exorcist (just to show them how over rated movies can be)
Halloween
The Shining
A Nightmare on Elm Street
The Amityville Horror
Carrie
Poltergeist
Hellraiser
In the Mouth of Madness
The Evil Dead
Piranha
Alice, Sweet Alice
Demons or Demons 2
C.H.U.D.
Children of the Corn (for educational purposes, not enjoyment)
Now sure..........all of these aren't great (Demons)........but if you've seen every movie listed up there, you've basically seen every style of horror movie.

fridays arent gonna get you into horror, just into humor. The only reason jason gets mentioned at times is for respect to the genre and the essence of slasher flicks. I know however these movies may scare some people if you can put your self emotionally into the movies while you watch them, but then if you can do that, you can be scared by any movie but as far as horror goes you can pretty much by-pass the jason series and still the G.E.D of horror with no problem, as long as you remeber to include the basics which are listed as above
